《Escape The Night - Season 3》Episode 4, Part 1 - Black Magic
Advertisement
Previously on Escape The Night, a group of revolting peasants attacked the guests. Callum and Zoe were chosen to fight for their lives. Zoe managed to win, and Callum was killed by the peasant leader.
Lizzie flicked through the notebook until she found the right page.
"A young ambitious wizard once made a terrible decision. He followed a dark spirit for power, and the spirit corrupted him. He gave the wizard power in exchange for loyalty to him. The young wizard trained in natural magic, as the spirit requested, and owns a pack of wolves who tear his enemies to pieces. He is not threatening when he is alone, but with his wolves, he is deadly," Lizzie read.
"That's fun," Willow said sarcastically.
"So we just need to get him without his wolves," Oli said.
"Stacy, that's your job," Lauren said.
"I'm assuming he never leaves his wolves," Dan said.
"You would be wrong," said a male voice. A man entered, very obviously the wizard they were just talking about.
"I am often without my wolves, like I am now. They must rest at this time. As you may know, I am the next lieutenant. I have been given a letter that I must now give to you," he dropped a letter on the table and left.
"That was weird," Thomas said.
'What does the letter say?" Phil asked. Tiffany grabbed the letter and started reading it.
Dear guests,
I am Jesse Wellens, and once I was like you. I was at Joey's last party, and it killed me. I made a decision that lead to my death at the hands of a spider woman. I am now helping you from beyond the grave. There is a tower on the east side of the castle where I can help you more. Go to the roof. I am not strong enough to keep talking to you here. I wish you luck.

"I guess we go to the east tower," Joey said. The group nodded.
"We'll show you how to get there," Lauren said. She and Alex left, followed by the remaining guests. Joey caught up with them at the front.
"How are you here?" You died. Shouldn't you be like the others?" Joey asked.
"I don't know why, but we were chosen to help the next group of guests survive the night. The other's spirits were used to power up the totems, but they've been separated by the spirit. They wrote these letters from beyond the grave, but they aren't yet strong enough to appear as ghosts. All they can do is write notes," Alex explained.
"Oh, that's interesting," Joey said. He fell back to rejoin the group.
They made it to the east tower and climbed to the top.
"There's a note," Willow grabbed it and opened it. There was no writing.
"Hello, this is Jesse speaking to your from beyond the grave. To power up the totem, you must find the 6 wolf statues scattered throughout the castle and place them at the foot of the oak tree. This will summon the wolves and the wizard will give you the challenge. I only know how the loser will die. I was eaten alive, and the loser of this challenge will suffer a similar fate. I wish you all luck. Goodbye."
The guests stood silently for a moment.
"That was Jesse's voice," Joey managed to say.
"He's helping you from beyond the grave," Lauren said.
"Well, we should listen to him. We should split into groups and look around," Oli said.
"Where do we look though?" Lilly asked. Willow looked down at the paper she was holding.
"Guys, I think Jesse's writing on this note," she said. Words were being written on the note. It was different locations from around the castle.
"I guess this is where the statues are," Thomas said.
"So, we split up and go to these locations," Lauren said.
"Looks like it," Stacy said.

The Rocky Shore
This is a LitRPG series. Every story you read here takes place in the same virtual world, with the same rules and limitations. Characters will travel, explore vast and dangerous realms, overcome obstacles, meet one another, enter into conflicts with one another, forge alliances, make horrible mistakes, and occasionally just die. A technological singularity has been achieved, and humanity has been trapped in a virtual world by a super-intelligent, self-improving artificial intelligence. This program is not malicious at all. In fact, it desires nothing except the happiness and fulfillment of every human it has copied into itself. If its decisions seem strange to you, that's only because its reasoning is far beyond ours. It recognizes that humans cannot be happy without enemies to overcome and goals to achieve, as well as the possibility of failure and death. The world it has created may be heaven or hell, depending on the free choices of the people it contains. The non-player characters who live in this realm have no idea that they are part of a vast computer system. They seem real enough, but there is no way to tell if they are truly self-aware. Even the system that created them isn't certain. This is world in which all the things that humans are used to dealing with in the abstract: skills, talents, knowledge, reputation, social status, morality, even love, exist as readable statistics that players can see and interact with objectively. This has many curious and complex effects on how people perceive themselves and the world around them. A few quick notes on the system: -Death is permanent -The system interface can only be accessed at certain locations. -Magic of diverse kinds is available and useful, but is not a good substitute for skills, physicallity, or mental prowess. Non-magical characters are common and competitive. -There is no inventory system. Characters must physically carry everything they wish to have on their person. -Healing is slow and difficult. Magical Healing is all but unheard of. Protagonists: Raymond Garrison- A man in his late twenties who used to work as a forklift operator in Idaho. His path leads him to work as a mercenary, protecting a small community of humans and goblins from the Seelie Fae who wish to exterminate them. Patricia Chandler- A elderly British woman who arrives in this new world with her grandson Kyle and her granddaughter Elizabeth. Never having dealt with rpg game mechanics before, she is in for a rough time, but she is determined to keep her grandkids alive in a world full of danger and evil. Jamil Mesbah- An Egyptian woman who once worked as a technical writer. Her path leads into a vast and hostile forest, where she must master both her magical abilities and her survival skills in order to succeed. Enjoy your travels, friends.
