This is an old revision of the document!


The Monsters

The new room is scary! There's lots of places where monsters can hide, and they're all different! They're all horrible and if they get to me in the night it would be really bad!

Kelly's toys had pretty much cleared out the old room before we got there - but this is a whole new place, and it's just us here now. Really wish we'd asked them more about the old days, but they didn't want to talk about it. We've got to keep Jordan safe, establish some kind of defence, and figure out what we're dealing with here and how to stop them.

We know it's not just a matter of fighting them -those of us without swords in our playsets still have plenty to do. Weapons have their place - but some light, some cunning, or a good plan will let you deal with more of them.

The Monsters Under The Bed

It's really dark under there and I can't see all the way under even when it's light in the room. There must be a whole other place down there full of monsters! And now they know I'm here!

We've sent some initial scouts in - there's a whole realm under there, all darkness and teeth and claws. First priority is to defend against the stuff coming out, but we're going to have to go exploring and map it out if we want to stop them for good.

The Creatures of the Cupboard

I checked the cupboard out in the daytime and it was definitely empty, but the was definitely something in there overnight! I think it's just making monsters when it thinks I'm asleep.

Every night, something new - the seer can get some hints, which is enough for us to figure out how to fight it, but there's no winning here - our adventurers banish a monster one night, something different comes along the next.

The Attic Archives

I don't like the attic hatch - it stays closed but it's still really dark up there. And Dad says that there's a bunch of his toys and mum's toys and Kelly's toys trapped in boxes up there which we haven't unpacked yet, and I'm worried about them.

If we leave it alone, there's no risk here - that hatch is closed tight enough. But we can get up there, and if we do there's allies and accessories and who knows what else to be found! Our crafters can make some good stuff, don't get me wrong - but an on-brand accessory just feels right, you know? Gonna need some scouting though - most of those boxes will be pretty useless.

The Darkness Beyond the Window

There's things out in the night that tap at the window behind the curtains, wanting to be let in! All flappity and screechy and scratchy.

Whole lot of night past that window - pretty sure way to get lost to go poking around too far out there. Seems to be the same things coming back night after night though, and some of them seem to want to talk.

Nightmares

My dreams are real bad in this new bed. I'll be sleeping and safe under the blanket and then I'll have a nightmare and I'll wake up and because I've been tossing and turning my foot will be out from under the duvet and the monsters can get it again! And then I'm even more scared of the monsters and my dreams get scarier.

This is one for the dreamweavers - most of us can't get into the nightmares, let alone help once we're in there. The seer get some inkling of what to expect, but it tends to be on the weirder end and take some cunning to figure out. The if Jordan wakes up from his nightmares, the other monsters get stronger when they fall back to sleep - and if those monsters get close to Jordan, the nightmares get worse. If we don't get a handle on this, it's going to spiral badly.
