Sounds fun. How do I play?

Here's how you make a character and a quick summary of how the game is played. While movement is cardinal (no diagonals) attacks, spellcasting, and facing in general will allow for diagonals to be used. Melee range is also defined as all eight tiles surrounding the character, and facing is the three tiles in front of them.

Here's an easy copy/paste character sheet as well:

- # Name - Catcher
[Str 0] : [Pow 1]
[Blk 0] : [HP 3]
[Mov 3] : [Vis 2]

Gear: (Pick up to 2 items, maximum 3 dots allowed. please include weapon details)

Reply to this post or the most recent turn's post with your completed character sheet, and be sure to include your updated sheet when performing actions. Actions will be ignored if a post does not include the complete character sheet.

As the light fades and the catchers return to lucidity, the texture of bedding and cushion is felt underneath each.

A womanly figure, draped in the same dream catcher textile raises a hand to invite those returning to her services.

Choose to gain a level in your currently equipped class (by default, each character is a 'Catcher' until changed) or align to a class currently unlocked.
At a later time you can respec your class and levels acquired into a new class if desired, but must visit the Veil Maiden to do so.

With that, the session for tonight is finished. Tomorrow there will be a realm map for players to decide on exploring, including the recently unlocked second stage of the previous map. Some realms are solo or paired events, and others are treated as a Night excursion which includes the entire party venturing into the realm. Perhaps a merchant or tutor can be discovered?

Above a city floats the satellite, granting light to the residents below. Mist flees from the streets as if in fear of reflection giving way to empty, silent alleys. A soft gaze is met between the descended moon and the Veil Maiden, coupled with her visage brandishing a comforting smile. "Two hours time," spoken a level above hushed whisper "Two hours before you depart back to the realms below."

Each player has one action they can perform each hour, and hours are processed one at a time. During the hour, one may change their equipment with the basic chargen list, rest with the veil maiden to gain (or assign) class levels, explore the city, or browse the wares of any visiting merchants. Other options may open up as time progresses, and once downtime has ran out then characters may choose to >Venture out to a new realm or >Resolve any unlocked encounters.

The distant echo of wood fiber scraped and sewn from bark can be heard. Their work is steady and precise, but what service do they provide? >Browse the Masked Carver's shop to find out.

While vacant, the city often has aught to discover. Roll 2d6 (input dice+2d6 into the "options" bar of your post) and await your discovery. Beware, as being in the vicinity of the Veil Maiden prevents hostile denizens from harming your form, choosing to venture outside of her protection will court risk and danger alongside your imagined prospects.

You ready your weapon and turn on heel while on the verge of rounding a corner, bringing yourself face to face with a cycloptic denizen of the city. A single eye made of a bright button sewn into the face of yarn curtained by matted fur 'hair' reflects the moonlight in a moment of recognition. In the light you see yourself falling through a cacophony of realms. You land in a dreamscape with a puff of yellow grain from the impact, and startle a nearby slumbering native to the realm awake. You both draw guns on each other, firing on instinct due to the mirrored threat.

Awakening on the ground next to your firearm, you take in your surroundings as if suffered a fever dream. Taking the firearm in hand, you notice it feels unfamiliar in your grip. There's a ricochet mark on the side of your firearm. A curiosity for sure, you take to your feet and hear a plink of metal strike the cobblestone. Tracking the sound and confirming with a glint of light not far from your feet lies a bullet, which you pick up to examine. The design and materials are unknown to you, but you feel a strong connection to this trinket. You place it next to the one found earlier, only to discover a hole punctured through the patch of cloth.

Active players may choose to >Resolve or >Delve (include color) with majority vote being the deciding factor. Keep in mind each realm's status may fluctuate depending on what events unfolded within, but an unattended realm will regularly degenerate in stability.

Makes for a hell of a transition to the nightmarescape, it's so cold there, and these robes don't protect at all.

Well, if one of us falls into the Abyss you're on catch duty. If we have some spare time I might just do that, gain the experience needed to let the Maiden align us to the Astronaughts.

Appearing before the cultivators are stairs descending into the abyss, each step taken sends the abyss aside to reveal the next to be taken. Once the landing is made, a greeting is hailed in hushed whisper alongside cackles of anticipation, coupled with starved denizens looking for an easy score. Ready yourselves, as begins the culling. Burn away the corruption, if not bright amid the darkness.

Above a city floats the satellite, granting light to the residents below. Mist flees from the streets as if in fear of reflection giving way to empty, silent alleys. Veil Maiden stands at the top of the stairwell, presenting a respectable bow in greeting. "The night wanes," a sense of hushed pride can be felt on her words "and all returned without loss of being. Thank you for your efforts." She motions for the party to follow to the landing, holding an open hand palm facing the waxing sphere. "There are five hours prior to next dust. There are also some new residents within the district below. Please treat them well, as you have done so with myself."

Venturing down to the market leads you to an alley lined with sheets and driftwood of various sizes. Aromas of after-rain woodland fills the air alongside a melody of fiber carved from itself as the proprietor works on their product atop a pile of chips and shavings. They pay you no mind in their work, looking to wear an outfit nearly overstuffed and an amalgam fauna mask hides their face. It's only upon entering the abode it becomes apparent they have a cushion resting behind them fashioned after that of a fox.

A handful of masks lay displayed on the pile of wood shavings with what look to be depressions suitable for resting. You may decide on one mask and gain its name as your Class, modifying your stats directly. You may also ask one (1) question regarding one item each visit.

Entering a previously abandoned tool shed gives way to a pair of minuscule beings. One covered in vibrant scales wearing a smith's apron and the other well wearing a distinguishing conical hat. "Welcome to 'Bolds n' Gnomes'!" greet both simultaneously, followed by the scaled one taking a pair of items off of a small rack to place them on the counter. The other presents a clipboard which takes up half of the counter space with a series of trees and diagrams in a language or code which makes the head spin in apparent complexity. "How may we be of service?" asks the bearded one, handing out clipboards with a request form inside to each customer. "Tis Gnomesday, so Terra is in full force!"

A distant echo of a bell tower rings twice through the void, signaling some incoming event. The party leaps to action, searching for the cause in hopes it was not for an alarm.

All is Well
There was little hope to find the first clue or step of the situation until a bored catcher throws a rock into the abyss in an attempt to skip it across the inky black surface. It strikes a piece of driftwood which slips beneath the surface, turning up moments later both unscathed by the dark waters accompanied by a mask. Normally anything which touches the pitch water itself shows at least a stain, especially wood, yet this driftwood shows nary a sign of it. The mask itself looks to be of high quality work, but is of unknown make and origin.

Downtime quests are effectively text-based role play mini-adventures. There are no requirements to join, and they can be participated in during running errands, resting, browsing shops (which the quest visits), etc. The only exception to this is if you explore the city, in which case it's an isolated event you wish to participate in. With that out in the open now:

First hour has passed. The second hour begins.

>>2925455
This is why I shouldn't post so late at night.
"Well, that's new...I should get these before they sink back into the abyss."

Fishing the mask out of the pitch is easy enough, as it is well within reaching distance from the stairs descending under the abyss. The driftwood on the other hand takes a considerable amount of effort. Pulling on the stiff branch yields ground, but it moves as if a heavy anchor lays somewhere deeper within the void. Pulling harder merely presents the sound of snapping fiber with a heavy >pop< but no visible signs of break or fracture.

>party obtained Well Mask

>>2925455
Well, now. Is it the stuff that's tough, or is the inky less inksome tomornights?

>Dip Support Arm in the inkiness

>>2925606
Taking the armament in hand and placing just the bare tip of a corner in far enough to break surface tension, the abyss lurches out in full grasp. The item is almost lost immediately if not for another catcher pulling you up the stairs and away from the sudden tide. Splashing on the bottom most step and dissipating back to a more natural level gives the sensation that the abyss in the area is over-agitated. Could be from whatever the driftwood is, attached to, or caused by something that happened in the last dream. Nobody truly understands the pitchwater, or at least none who still reside in the city landing.

Do you think that we should show it to them? I was going to re-visit to see if they have carved anything new anyway.

>>2926190
With little else seen left to do at the stair well, the investigation moves onward to identify the mask. Stepping past the threshold of curtains and cushions, the carver can be seen missing from their perch atop the shavings. Instead they can be observed organizing a collection of various types of materials to both decorate and take stock of resources.

After managing to gain his attention and offering the mask, they observe both the face and backing before lowering their head. One hand holds the mask as the other raises to grab the muzzle from their hood, slowly replacing each other before lifting his head. The carver then looks to take in their surroundings, before lowering their face and covering it once again with the vulpine facade. "This mask is not a proper fitting," they announce, holding it for the party to once again take into their possession. "Instead it appears to be able to view the realm or subjects studied how they were in the hour of Midnight."

After thanking them for their assistance, the party understands that Midnight is usually a time when they're delving into the realms.

Creeping denizens take you for an easy mark, leaping from a broken wall's opening in an attempt to take you by surprise.

Mild progress has been made for the investigation, but once again a distant bell tolls though this time thrice.

>>2928548
You dive through the doorway, though not in a literal sense. Closing it behind yourself, the barrier shows signs of vandalism given the interior knob has been torn off entirely. As the mist blows past, you observe through a window pane as black tendrils lurch across the brick walk and cement street, shuddering while moving away from the viewport in order to find a way out of the building. After exploring the first couple floors worth of rooms, you find another closed door with a missing handle and attempt to push it open in case it would be allowed.

No such luck, as upon further inspection of the moulding it obviously would open in towards yourself. Leaving it for now, you venture on down the hall in search of an exit. It's not until you reach the last room when you find something of interest, an empty threshold but a pair of wards linked together on either side. Peaking into the room you can see what looks like a bar which would allow you access through one of the two doors you encountered previously, but are unsure as to how wards function and what the purpose would be for this one in particular.
>Try the next level and leave this alone today.

Aimless Denizen
Wandering through the streets, you hear a grumble down an alleyway in a language you're familiar with enough to understand it's that of a denizen tongue. Bumbling figure smaller than yourself stumbles out of the alley and onto the street, falling face first into the brick and pavement. They don't appear to be too dangerous, but what do you do?
>Duck into your own alleyway and observe from a safe distance. Could be a bluff, or more of them around.
>Rush it down! Victory to the swift!
>Blast it away from a distance. Leaves you at less risk than taking it on in melee.

I'll put the mask on while we walk back, and see what happened in the city while we were asleep. Maybe if I look at the driftwood, I'd see where that was hours ago and that would give a hint? Maybe I'll catch a reflection of the mask, too, and that will tell me the mask's past?

>>2928624
You enter. Stepping on the interior ward causes a horn to screech right next to your ear, causing you to cover them immediately until the ringing stops. When you bring yourself upright again, you can see there is no longer a doorway for you to exit yet the remainder of the room is intact. You pick up the bar, being able to identify it as a Jimmy from a foreign memory. Helps open up doors, containers, and in general anything that prefers to stay closed. That being said, you're now stuck in a room.

Pairing up together in order to amass a solution to pulling the branch from the water, the duo forms up in preparation. The Knight binds their ally, and the Ranger uses their third eye to grasp the branch. A hefty pull jars the branch partially out of the water, revealing a mess of more ashen branches beneath the surface. Surely it is due to these catching on the staircase below the pitchwater which forces it incapable of being pulled up the steps as is. However, the pull was for too long as a CRACK erupts from the tree limb, sending a branch flying into the hands of the Ranger. Now only a splintered stub remains above surface tension, and a further attempt to manipulate the driftwood will risk contact with the abyss.

Taking the jimmy to the window, you spot what looks like poorly managed nails put into the frame and moulding. You pry the fixings out of the wood before lifting the panel up far enough to poke your head out. Below lies the mist, churning with the flow of air or perhaps movement beneath, and above you hangs a pipe leading to the roof. There is also the window nearby, which looks close enough to climb over to. A rhythmic thump catches your ear, and you can hear the sound of someone or something approaching down the hall. There is little time! You stow the Jimmy in your robes and ready yourself, but which route to take?
>Drop down. You're on the third floor but your fall should get cushioned by whatever is underneath... if there's something below.
>Climb the pipe. Might take a bit of time, but you'd be at a raw advantage if you don't get caught escaping.
