Welcome to Gaia! ::

Prompt: You wake up. You seem to be in some sort of old dilapidated house. Around you is a strange low fog: below you as well. You feel like this place is familiar, reminding you very much of the inside of the Inverted Haunted House.

All players: You will need to navigate through the Haunted House to the end. Please follow the steps below.
- All players start off at full health. When you hit 0 HP the fog swallows and consumes you whole. IF you hit 100% Insanity, you feel strange, the fog becomes too loud, too noisy.... as it consumes you whole, distorting your figure grotesquely, leaving you broken and deformed... you have become an Insanity mob.
- Regardless of the room you are in, ignore what is happening in the room to defeat the Insanity mob first. Those who have been turned into insanity mobs can target 2 players and roll 2d12. They have however, only half their original HP and take double damage. They must have their HP whittled to "0" to be cured at 50% Insanity. Each player can attack them 2 times for each time they are attacked by the boss. Once the boss is cleared, the mob returns back to normal, at 50% HP and 50% Insanity. Continue on the room as normal.
- If you DIE IN THE TRANCE you immediately are ejected from the Distorted Portal but suffer side effects of hallucinations for 24 hours where you continuously see everything in black and white. You also hear a voice calling to you about home...
- It is recommended that players go through the rooms at the same pace (ie: I am player 1, in room 1, I roll 3 times and wait for the others before ICly proceeding to room 2 together, though they can skip players that become inactive after 24 hours).

gaia_crown Step 1: Room 1

The first room is blank, though as you take a step, the fog thins and curls away: below you is an infinite chasm. There is something so oppressive about the area that weighs you down, making you feel ten times heavier than you are: flying is impossible. The ledges, if they can even be called that, are extremely narrow and the door at the other end seems so far away.

- Roll 1d10. You must do this three times.
- If in ANY of your dice rolls you roll 1, you hear a loud crack, as your ledge begins to crumble - the last thing you see before the white swallows you is the terror of others staring right at you. You are DEAD.
- For each time you roll even you gain +20% Insanity.
- If you pass, proceed to STEP 2.

gaia_crown STEP 2: Room 2

The entire room is full of blank, humanoid figures made entirely out of fog. They look more like pillars of white and grey. They do not move, simply staring ahead, clustered very close together in even rows. You need to make your way across the room to the door on the other side.

- Roll 1d6. You must do this three times.
- For each time you roll even you gain +20% Insanity.
-If any of your dice rolls to a 1 you suddenly accidentally brush against one of the figures. Every single pillar turns their face only to stare right at you. You feel a strange rustling, a malevolence, as suddenly from around you hundreds of foggy hands, grab your figure, crying something as more and more hands appear from the foggy abyss - and you are swallowed whole. You are DEAD.
- If you manage to make it through, you are on Step 3.

gaia_crown Step 3: You enter a room that is entirely white. You can't even see where everyone else is. You need to navigate through the room blind.

Roll 1d6. You need to do this four times. Whenever you roll even, you hear a strange scraping noise behind you, as if someone is carrying something very heavy, walking right behind you. You see nothing.
- For each even you roll, you begin to hear the scraping noise, louder and louder.
- If you roll three evens, the last thin you see is a loud screech and then a blur of deep grey, a flash of a blade that descends upon you - you are DEAD.
- If you manage to pass through this phase you are at the end.

gaia_crown Step 4: THE END.
- You finally see it, the door ahead of you. Cautiously, you run towards it one step at a time. As you open it up -

- You're back at the start with the surviving team members. What is going on? Suddenly, you see the fog curling around your feet, growing thicker now. You watch in horror, slow motion as it begins to crawl up you, consuming you, watch slowly as your figure distorts and contorts, consumed in fog -

- But it is already too late. The last thought you coherently have is one of Home. YOU ARE DEAD.
