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.]

[Gordon looks momentarily confused. He glances back to where the vision had been, and gives a small, guilty smile.]

Thankfully, that [a gesture over his shoulder] wasn't the past. It hasn't happened and, if I have anything to say about it, it never will, but...

[He looks to where he'd just seen his wife and children lying, taking a deep breath at the unpleasantness of the mental image.]

I guess you can say it scared me straight.

[Waver blinked, pleasantly surprised to hear those words. Offering Gordon an embarrassed little smile, he nodded in understanding.]

At least you still have that opportunity in front of you, Sir. I wish you well in that.

[Gordon smiles, nodding and, gently running his hands along the heads of Rex and Mike, he turns, and steps to the large, open cavern, where Diancie awaits.]
