Who wants to torture their pup for Hallowe'en? IS IT YOU?
So this Hallowe'en I'm going to be running a little OOM Scenario based on The Labyrinths of Lunacy, a Scenario from the Arkham Horror card game based on the HP Lovecraft Mythos. This guy here, Eixodolon, is going to kidnap a bunch of people through the medium of magic and dreams, and transport them to his little personal torture labyrinth for pain-filled funtimes and maybe dinner.
The Scenario
Eixodolon has accessed Milliways through a non-specific type of dream-based magic, and will be kidnapping people to happen to be sleeping, or on standby mode, or who zoned out for a few seconds, and transporting them to his labyrinth on the night of the 31st October, with the sole intention of playing crazy games with them and seening how long they survive!
He will kidnap between 3 and 12 pups (depending on who signs up), lock them in, and then it's up to them to make their way out. (Which they will, I'm sure.) On completion, they will be deposited back in the bar, on the morning of November 1st for medical treatment and a hot chocolate.
How this works OOC
Prethreading will take place in October. Three groups of 1-4 pups each will have an OOM each and will face challenges and monsters and traps that they need to get through.
Groups will be isolated but they will need to figure out a way of communicating with each other if they are to survive.
All threads take place on the night of the 31st. Normal Hallowe'en funtimes are unaffected and kidnappings take place after you've changed back into your regular shapes, if applicable. Any relationships between characters can be assumed from that point.
I will post the OOMs on November 1st, but you can bring your pups together in a group or individually, or just have them slope off to the infirmary. Up to you!
Groups will in theory be randomly assigned, but if you have special requests (e.g. "I want my pup and his boyfriend to almost die together please" or "These two people will actually kill each other instead of the bad guy" Let me know!)
Groups are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to talk between themselves during threading, but within your group only.
No permanent damage will be inflicted without mun request, but any pup with superhuman regenerative abilities may find that they need them. (Normal humans encouraged to play too). There will also be no power nerfing, but I do ask that you try not to break the game?
You can play with up to 3 pups (1 per group) but I'll try and keep it so as many muns can participate as possible.
Sounds Good, what'll I do?
Comment here with between 1 and 3 pups you'd like to sign up with! For each pup:
- Who they are
- Who you are
- Any special requests for grouping (i.e. WITH xyz, WITHOUT zyx)
- The maximum level of damage your pup can take, if applicable (e.g. "Can reattach limbs" or "hey, they're already dead, go ahead and kill'em again!")
THIS IS A HORROR PLOT, based on a game where failure is the most common outcome, so please be aware before you sign up.
Thanks all!

Questions go here!
Re: Questions go here!
Re: Questions go here!
The way I figure it, sending her through the actual events of the plot would be just too much, considering. There comes a time when putting a person through any more evil within a certain specific style seems like a bridge too far. You know? Especially given the sleep/dreams=abduction aspect, which will freak Sariel right the frak out just to hear about, considering canon events and previous Bar happenings. Don't be surprised if she takes a vested interest in Eixodolon facing justice, if that's possible post the plot...?

Sign ups
- What's YOUR name?
- Who would you specifically like to be grouped with/kept away from?
- (Bonus question) what's your maximum damage level?
Re: Sign ups
- Maru
- Undead cinnamon roll is sweet & a bit shy, will play with anyone, but others might get scared of him?
- Wen Ning can withstand a lot; he's a very fierce corpse! That said, I guess a flamethrower would be too much for him, so perhaps better not.
Re: Sign ups
Re: Sign ups
- Crow
- He's going to Dad anyone who comes near him, so... pretty much anybody.
- No dismemberment, but Zenigata can take a real beating. He shrugs off tranquilizers like they're giggle gas at the dentist, he can be shot and still standing. He is is a wall of a man who is the Immovable Object against a Irresistible Force. Beat the shit out of him, he'll be fine later.
no subject
Re: Sign ups
- Eric.
- Anyone is fine.
- Yamato's pretty sturdy, but probs no to any dismembering.
Re: Sign ups
-Fi/Kate
-Anyone is fine
-He's a basic human so no dismemberment but I'm good with him breaking bones or other major injuries.
Re: Sign ups
-Fi/Kate
-Since he and Yamato are dating, it might be fun and traumatic if they're paired together
-Quentin's slightly sturdier than a normal human, and has night vision but not a major healer so another for no dismemberment. Oh and his magic is tied to blood, like he can read memories in blood when he tastes it and is good at illusions. I'm all for using these in creepy ways.
Re: Sign ups
Re: Sign ups
- Don/Bjorn
- Nothing I can think of, he's pretty accepting of people, even if they are attacking him.
- Alustin is pretty hardy but I would prefer no dismemberments. Broken bones can work, though.
(Bonus: Alustin magical affinity is for paper and far-seeing, which might help in getting the groups to talk with each other. He is also very versatile as he uses a large number of sigils on his paper for different magical effects. If you need someone less skilled or powerful he could be a student or journeyman, rather than the master I've played so far. Also, Labirynths are big things in his canon.)
Re: Sign ups
- Bethan (yo)
- It would be fun (...for me; not so much for her) if she had to work with her sister?
- Eh. So long as a good mechanic can put her back together again...
Re: Sign ups
- Bethan (surprise!)
- While technically capable of using weapons etc. (he did national service!) he doesn't have a violent bone in his body, so will need to be paired with someone(s) with offensive capabilities.
- He's very EXTREMELY human, so, uh. Minimal within the parameters of the plot? He can also be used to patch up other participants as required. Also, he's going to be VERY new, so y'know. Traumatise him, but not enough to scare him off entirely, please?
Re: Sign ups
- Victoria from RED/RED2
- You KNOOOOOW Who I Am
- Nothing specific!
- She's pre-canon, so nothing that will permanently affect her ability to shoot, as I do plan on taking her through canon eventually. She can take a beating, though.
no subject
- Crow
- Depending on discussion w/ WWX's mun, probably NOT with him, since that could lead to some major reveals too early.
- He's a really bad ass Cultivator, so he can take a lot and heal himself up without a lot of trouble. Maybe leave his limbs attached, though.
Re: Sign ups
- Saph
- No preference! Sunshine gets along with most folk, and can both fight and do minor healing.
- I'm fine so long as it's not permanent damage/no lost limbs. Sunshine might have magic, but she's a squishy mortal human once past her defenses.
Re: Sign ups
-Cameo
-Maybe don't put them with someone who fights primarily with fire, like Roy Mustang? Both because they're more flammable than us wet meat creatures, and because it'd be terrifying even if they didn't actually get set alight by one of their allies. Anyone else is fine.
-Uhhhh well if you kill them outright I can probably fix that with Don't Starve's resurrection items (either waking up in their world after expending a Meat Effigy, or smuggling a Life Giving Amulet in in their inventory - the latter could also provide a small and finite amount of magical healing to the wearer on the fly, and could be lent out to others in the group), and that would regenerate any otherwise-permanent damage like losing an arm or whatever. They have about the same damage resistance per blow as a tough human where fire isn't involved, but they can't bleed to death.
Re: Sign ups
- Batty
- Cisco would like to join the dynamic duo of Quentin and Yamato
- Cisco is very squishable. It won't be hard to injure him and he'll be relying on his teammates a lot to not die. Don't want him losing any limbs or having something deathly serious go down but knocks, bruises, bleeding and anything up to minor broken bones would be alright.
Re: Sign ups
- Jenna
- This fella's new so nobody for either at this time.
- Try not to break him too much.
Re: Sign ups
So full disclosure: I thought everyone had signed up so accidentally launched this last night! But I'm checking what I can do and hope to have you in a group ASAP <3
