Descent into Darkness

[bravenewmods]

As the characters arrive, they will find what appears to be a rather deep cavern. Upon entering, the caverns are quite narrow, with twists and turns everywhere and different tunnels that all seem to be interconnected. As characters travel deeper within the caverns, reality around them will start to warp, they will start to see and hear things that aren’t necessarily there - images of old enemies, past failures, voices of condemnation, visions that strike at the soul and core of the characters. Once this begins, it will only increase in power and volume, demanding it be confronted, lest they be trapped within these caves forever.

[OOC: This event will run for a week. All characters who enter the caves will be subject to some of their deepest fears, darkest demons, and most abject failures. To overcome them, characters must help each other out, finding their purpose through strength of character and resolve to move forward. In general, these visions should require characters to come to grips with themselves. Illusory images and voices can and will appear and can take any number of forms, depending on what is most appropriate to a character. Additionally, characters may thread with each other and are encouraged to help each other out to overcome these personal demons. For those who wish to take part, they are able and encouraged to narrate their own personal demons, which will be on display for everyone who enters their thread. IC threads may be made in this post.]

[Waver could tell that Takeshi was Enlightened with just a glance; it was one of his particular talents and, although he had been trying to be more polite with it since entering Union, all of his senses were on high alert in this cavern. Although he couldn't quite define what sort of Enlightened Takeshi was, knowing that his new companion was likely much stronger than him was enough to put Waver at a little more ease in this cavern.]

It's nice meeting you too, Takeshi. Now-- do you have any idea which direction we should go?

[Besides the dim light from his spell, there was darkness all around them. And, since Waver didn't anticipate entering the Labyrinth of the Minotauros, he didn't bring along the proper equipment to mark their path.]
