Sunday Black Sunday
You walk into the black church and hide behind a pew when you notice a chanting group of black-robed cultists up near the altar. You've stumbled into a black mass!
Attend the Mass |
With insufficient black equipment:
You approach the mass of cultists, who immediately recognize your insufficient darkness and toss you on the alter[sic] in front of them.
The last thing you remember is your heart being removed. Then everything goes... heh... black.
![]() | You lose all hit points. |
With enough black equipment:
You approach the mass of cultists who, unable to see through the blackness of your disguise, welcome you to their circle. The chanting intensifies as the circle becomes a line.
The air in the church becomes electric as eerie music begins to play from the heap of destroyed instruments in the orchestra pit, and the line becomes a line dance.
You lose yourself in the music. The moment. You surrender yourself to the ownership of the ritual. The dance.
The dance...
![]() | You acquire an effect: Salsa Satanica (duration: 13 Adventures) |
Hours later, you wake up in a heap in the middle of the Black Forest, covered in sweat and brimstone.
After acquiring the effect, further attempts the same day:
You're not sure your soul can handle another profane ritual today.
Dive into the orchestra pit |
You hurl yourself into the orchestra pit, cacophonously landing in a heap of discarded instruments. Not a one of them is in playable shape, except for the one of them that is, in direct contradiction to what I just said, in playable shape.
It's a drum and you steal it.
![]() | You acquire an item: black kettle drum |
Sneak out the black back, black Jack |
You black out the back door. I mean you back out the black door.
Leads to All Over the Map.
Occurs at The Black Forest.
