ONCE UPON A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT...
There's an open invitation to come by the Bonebarrows tonight for homemade sweets and scary stories. Arriving to the open-air ruins that make up the ground floor common area, students will find a small table with an impressive spread of autumnal sweets like berry tarts and apple dumplings (along with warm beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic), a cozy and crackling bonfire, and a black tent that magically mutes the ruckus outside. This tent is where stories will be told. Inside, it is lit by a shadow lantern that slowly rotates and casts distorted shapes along the walls. Due to subtle magical intervention by Mallow Whisperwell, these shadows often change and may reflect the contents of the stories being told.
To tell a story, describe your character's tale of terror below and roll CHA to see how spooky it was! The storyteller that scares the most students will win bragging rights and a slightly horrifying mask (congratulations??).
To test your character's mettle, roll CON against each story. Any story that your roll fails to meet or beat gives them a good spook!
Sometime during the night, Arlo Snapdragon will leave the storytelling tent only be be confronted with a birthday banner, a small shower of balloons and shimmering confetti, and anything else his friends see fit to give him. Depending on how Arlo feels about surprises, this may be the scariest part of the night.
Happy Birthday, Arlo!
