What challenges do the characters face before leaving the motel?
The Road of Shadows, created by Mark R. Healy, a Beyond the Dark production. Season 5, Episode 4, The Unknown. The Unknown.
Okay, so before we leave the motel, is there anything else we need? Just give me a minute here to pack a few more things. This might turn into a long day if we intend to cover all the trails we've mapped out. We need to take plenty of water too, so let me just fill up this water bottle. Okay, now. I know we've put a lot of time into mapping out all these trails, Daniel, but I think it might be a good idea to set some expectations here. What expectations?
What expectations do the characters set for their hike?
It's possible that we might spend the whole day walking and still not find anything today. Or tomorrow, for that matter. I know. We've been over this, Amber. There are miles and miles of trails up there. I don't expect us to hit the right one on our first hike. I'm hoping that what I remember from the visions will help, but I just can't guarantee anything. You don't need to stress about this. We'll get there eventually, don't worry. Even if your visions aren't entirely accurate.
What visions do the characters have about the trails ahead?
I figure that, ultimately, this whole thing will come down to perseverance more than anything else. Well, let's look on the bright side. Either way, we're going to get some fresh air and exercise, at the very least. Um, seriously though, what do you think is up there? You're the one who's had the visions. I know, but they haven't made a lot of sense so far. Well, if I had to guess, I'd say it might be another den. Maybe one that belongs to a member of the Wilted. I'm sure Roderick would love it if that were the case. Would be taking one step closer to finding his obsession. The Blood Monarch, yeah. He sure was excited on the call last night. Do you think that Draghisa herself has another den up there? Is it possible for shadows to have more than one den?
Susan Blake seemed to have multiple locations she used for consuming people in Black Ridge. Remember the shack in the woods and the abandoned health club? Aside from those, she also had a den under her farmhouse outside of town. Yeah, I don't know about that. The shack and the health club were private places where she could hang out, sure, but the cave under her farmhouse, that was her real den. The place she retreated to when she felt threatened.
What significance does the waterfall have in the story?
So maybe Dragisa has another hangout up there on the mountain, like Susan Blake's shack in the woods. Maybe. It's something else entirely. Something we've never seen before. It might be another trap or some kind of trick. For sure. Have you had any more visions in the last few hours? Nothing this morning. Maybe once we reach the mountain, it'll come to me. This is something big, though, right? I'm not the only one who's feeling that we're on the verge of something important, am I? No, I feel it too. Things are getting serious. I feel like at any moment we... Just a second, Daniel. Oh, oh, it's just Becca. Good morning! I hope I'm not interrupting anything. Hey, morning, Becca. No, no, it's fine. We're just getting our things together so we can head out for a hike.
Who is the Prowler and why is he a concern for the characters?
Hitting the mountain again, huh? You two must be keen. Becca, maybe you can help us with something. Um, we're looking for a waterfall. I don't... suppose you could tell us where to find it? A waterfall? I guess there are a few around the place. Oh, do you know the name of it? Oh, I don't know if it has a name. It's not like a big landmark or anything. Okay, describe it to me. Well, it's nothing spectacular. Barely a trickle, actually. Running down smooth, dark rock into a little stream below. I'm sure there are dozens that would fit that description on Mount Sunder. If you just spend a little time looking, I'm sure you'll find one. Well, it's actually this particular one we're after. Oh? What's the significance?
Um, it's a long story.
What strange stories does Becca share about the town?
Hmm. Okay. Uh, okay. Do you have a map handy? Sure. Right here. Let's put it on the table and take a look. Alright then, let's see. Oh, okay, here we are. This trail would be a good starting point. Along this route here to the west, below this ridge. That might be your best bet.
