Master Post: Horrific Nightmares

Post by Canary »

Tonight you're finally able to sleep. It's such a relief at first to feel yourself fading gently into sleep rather than tossing and turning all night in an attempt to find any sort of comfort, only to feel like you're falling into the abyss.

The relief is very temporary.

Out of the darkness swims the worst nightmare you've ever experienced. Betrayals, the horrors of Jigoku, death, failure, everything that has ever haunted your waking thoughts is made manifest tonight. Worse, you're trapped in them. No matter how you struggle, you can't wake up. It's as though the nightmares themselves move to block you from your body. Then the dream changes from mere nightmares...

Players should make one thread each for their characters. The first post should include a TN 20 Willpower roll. If they succeed, the event ends there. They are able to free themselves from the nightmares and have a normal night's sleep.

If they fail, a GM will make a follow up post with a nightmare specific to them. The player may then make a TN 25 Willpower Roll. Once again, if they succeed, the events ends there with them escaping the nightmares.

If they fail once again, a GM will post one more time. At this point, they may make a third attempt to escape the nightmares with a TN 30 Willpower roll. If they succeed, they escape. If they fail this final roll, they will be trapped in nightmares for the rest of the night, and gain fatigue penalties the next day as though they did not sleep at all. They will also not regain Void or Spell Slots.
