Mr. Bram Tours the Gable HouseFor this dungeon crawler you will be playing as The Caretaker, and then the same scene again as Mr. Bram. Your actions as The Caretaker will have an effect on your experience as Mr. Bram. As you make your way through the story as the Caretaker your will to continue will be effected by the things you do - don't let it drop to zero. Likewise the more mental, psychic, emotional and physical damage that Bram endures the higher his damage score will be.
When in Gable House, if Bram's damage score //exceeds// 75 (on easy), 85 (on mid) or 95 (on hard) he will go insane and will be forced to wander the catacombs forever - if this happens you've lost and have to reset. You will get a few items to use as Bram, and there are a few spots hidden around the house where you can replenish a few of them.
Some items will help immediately, some will help globally, some are inventory items to be used when appropriate, and a few will hurt.
If you don’t immediately see what something is doing it’s either changing the amount of time Bram has to stay in the house or the amount of pain and horror that can be inflicted.
Three more fourth-wall kind of notes... first part of this dungeon crawler is a simpulation, more information on that can be found in the character dossier and world-building bible. Second, at this point I haven’t implemented ghosts, nor have I balanced it as well as I would like. Everything could be expanded in a narrative sense, but I wanted to produce something that can be navigated in the time we have. Finally I am sure that I missed labelling and nicknaming some of the redirects, so if a) you see initiate or reset ignore it (unless you want to start over) or 2) if something is janky in that regard I apologize in advance. ^^ Third, don't forget to scroll to the bottom.
Now sit back, kick off the old shoes, and enjoy torturing yourself 🙂

thank you for scrolling all the way to the bottom."Choke!" screams Lacie, taking care to land her spit on the windshield. Bram responds by turning on the wipers and cleaning it off, giving her the finger, and then pulling into a parking spot in front of the perfume and incense bazzar.
A kid leans huddled against the building in a pile of dirty clothes, wearing a tarp like a blanket. He looks up at you as you walk in to the store, and tries to say something, but he cannot. Most of his teeth are gone, and the left side of his face is dry and cracking in a way that resembles scales, rotting away some of his cheek. He doesn't need to speak for you to understand what he is saying, however... he is asking for [[help]].
Inside, down aisle 8, into the out-of-order bathroom, down the stairs and at a table in the back, Bram sits smoking a hookah and listening to the table-of-three huddled one table over. They had just come from a paranormal investigation out at an old abandoned house that wasn't owned by anyone. Bram knew this would be a good opportunity to make some money since most materials could be scavenged and cleaned; it could be easy to restore and sell, and it could be worth a lot of money in return to the correct family. So Bram listens to the teens talk, waiting for a moment to interject... all he needs is the location of the house.
"Claire didn't get out did she?"
"I'm sure she-"
"bullshit, you know it"
"But Claire!"
"She's -"
"Shut up!" "Shut up!"
"No. Let me talk She's... I know she's not okay. I saw her go through that door, and then I heard..."
...a long pause...
"...sounded like a crunch..."
Bram leans over. "I'll get your friend, I just need to know the location of the house." Then, looking to the girl at the table, "Unless you want to show me where it is...?" Bram flexes his bicep and grins, working the toothpick in his mouth, sticking it into and taking it out of a bright-pink piece of gum with his tongue.
In response the girl pulls her hoodie closed to hide the top of her chest, shrugs and leans to the guy, muttering something - the only words Bram can hear are "...I think... ...Lacie..."
"Okay look just tell me where to go..."
Sitting at a table on the other side of Bram is a shadowy character only revealed when a car drives a certain way on one of the roads outside, momentarily bathing their face in light, but it is unrecognizable to most, even when fully lit. The character is mostly forgotten or ignored. This is you, The Caretaker, and you are here to watch Bram, intent on //making sure// that He makes it to the Gable House, with or without the help of these kids.
Before long they leave, and Bram gets up as if to say bye, but just watches the girl as they walk out, chewing his gum loudly. Not long after Bram also leaves, satisfied with the information he got, and he makes his exit.
[[Follow Bram to his Hotel ->Caretaker: Bram goes to hotel]]
The Caretaker Sanity: (print: $CareWillVar)
Mr. Bram Damage: (print: $EmoDamageVar)
Bram spends the night in his motel formulating a plan, and you watch. When he goes to bed, you set a 30 minute timer and sleep, waking every half-hour to check that he hasn't gotten up.
Eventually, maybe 45 minutes before the sun rises Bram's light goes on again, stays on briefly, and then goes off, and Bram slips out of the room and starts to get in his car... but before he can he looks right at you, staring at the strange old car you are currently sitting in. He's clearly waiting for you to make a move...
Option 1 - get out of the car and approach Bram - he's scared so he will drive off and go to the location with the most people, namely the [[grocery store ->caretaker: store]] <!--quick path to GH-->
Option 2 - drive at him for a second, then turn in the direction of the store - he's so paranoid he will get in and drive in the opposite direction once you are out of sight. The only other place nearby where he can get supplies is the [[truck-stop ->caretaker: gas station]] just up the road; you can easily catch up with him <!--slow path to GH-->The Caretaker Sanity: (print: $CareWillVar)
Mr. Bram Damage: (print: $EmoDamageVar)
Bram is slow, flirting with every girl and picking fights with almost anyone who looks directly at him. His shopping list is relatively small, and you could probably collect all of the items on it and move them around before he would know what was happening. Then again, he is assured to make it to the house, and //Chief Officer// is already pleased, so maybe it is better not to push things too far.
You are on the aisle next to Bram. "//don't be a worm, bump the shelf, Bummmmmp it//" beckons from the end of the aisle... you could make it up there and bump the end-cap just in time to make some heavy boxes fall on, or at least near Mr. Bram.

Mr. Bram Damage: (print: $EmoDamageVar)
You have to ride your bike (which was in the trunk of the old Estate car that you drove to the motel), so by the time you arrive at the gas station Bram is pretty close to being finished with his shopping trip. On your way over to his car you grab a hat and grey shirt hanging in the garage behind the station, the name on the front says "Johnny".
Better hurry, you can hear Bram complimenting the girl at the counter for her nice... well you know.
With the small amount of time you have, you can either throw together a quick [[sabotage ->sabotage Bram's car]] for the car, or you can open Bram's [[Door ->get into Bram's car]] and check out the interiors.
(set: $GasVar to true)The Caretaker Sanity: (print: $CareWillVar)
Mr. Bram Damage: (print: $EmoDamageVar)
You have to turn and walk away quickly, but Bram was so distracted that he either doesn't notice you, or doesn't notice you enough to make any connections. The boxes had tools inside of them, which subsequently fell all over - some directly onto Bram, cutting into his leg and lightly spraining his ankle.
Eventually his list is complete, he checks out, and heads off to [[Gable Hill]]

The Gable House sits on the top of Gable Hill as if it's giving everyone and everything the finger. A strong wind blows at Bram's Back as he faces the house, appreciating the view before him.
A moment later he walks up to the house, touching every tree along the drive.

Bram's car is parked conveniently close to a dumpster, you could [[grab something ->pull dead fish from dumpster, and put it on the seat]] to leave for Mr. Bram as a present instead of getting in the car yourself.
Or you could call out to him from inside his car... "Sir, You should really learn to lock your [[doors->play mind games severe]] lest more unscrupulous figures than myself decide to inercede."The Caretaker Sanity: (print: $CareWillVar)
Mr. Bram Damage: (print: $EmoDamageVar)
Bram walks up not sure if he wants to hit you or compliment your on your taste, but the words that come out of his mouth are "I'd win."
You gesture an inch between your pointer and thumb, "...okay...". And then you slam the hood before Bram can respond, and hurry off toward the garage where two legitimate employees are now standing, sharing a joint.
//''HONK''// Bram is standing in the middle of the drive, looking between the employees sharing their joint, the girl inside and you. Without looking up at the car trying to drive to a pump, Bram gives the finger. //''HOOONNNNNNNNK''//
You wave at the car as you run behind it towards the other guys, and Bram looses interest quickly, and goes to look under his hood, pretending to know what to look for.
The direction you are already walking is also where you ditched your [[bike ->tail car on bike]], you could ride behind him easy enough, just to make sure he gets there.
He's so distracted you could probably duck into the [[back ->hide in the back seat]] of the car.

//''HONK''// Bram is standing in the middle of the drive, looking between the three of you, and the girl inside. Without looking up at the car trying to drive to a pump, Bram gives the finger. //''HOOONNNNNNNNK''//

It's a package of rotting fish, the smell of which is profound. You hold the top of the paper bag over Bram's front seat and shake it a few times to make sure that a few decent-sized drops of fish-liquid seep into the seat, and then you place the package on top.
//''HONK''// Bram is standing in the middle of the drive, looking between the employees sharing their joint, and the girl inside. //''HOOONNNNNNNNK''// A car wants to get to a pump, but Bram is in the way; this is the perfect distraction for you to get a safe distance away.
When Bram picks it up, the fish falls out of the bottom, since the bag was made weaker by you shaking it. For a moment he stares in disbelief, then he spends five minutes retching and giggling at the same time, trying to figure out how to get the remains out of the car.

Today is nice, warm even through the sun will set soon. You almost don't notice how close you are to the turn, and what's more, Bram doesn't seem to be aware that it is coming up either.
It would be pretty easy to swerve around him a bit, and [[yell->Scream at him to get him to turn]] at him; surely he would notice and take the turn. Then again, it is nice out, and it would be much [[funnier ->Wrong turn]] to watch Bram be lost for a while.

Don't pay attention to what you see on the floor of Bram's car, and try not to inhale to strongly... who knows what drug-waters have spilled into the carpet over the years. If you crane your neck up you can //just// see out the windows of the car.
And what you see is that Bram is very close to his turn, and (more importantly) is not slowing down to take said turn. almost misses his turn
You could definitely sit up and [[remind ->take the turn]] Mr. Bram that he needs to turn up ahead, but that could make things complicated. It would also be entertaining to sit back and [[do nothing->Wrong turn]], surely he will figure it out eventually.

Current Location: Entry

(set: $BramPathVarAlpha to it +1)Welcome to the next part of the dungeon crawler, from here you will take control of Bram. If you wish to see basic information about the path you have already gone down click [[here ->stats landing page]]. This page will also be available to you any time you have an encounter with The Caretaker.
When in Gable House, if Bram's damage score //exceeds// 75 (on easy), 85 (on mid) or 95 (on hard) he will go insane and will be forced to wander the catacombs forever - if this happens you've lost and have to reset. You will get a few items to use as Bram, and there are a few spots hidden around the house where you can replenish a few of them.
Some items will help immediately, some will help globally, some are inventory items to be used when appropriate, and a few will hurt.
From here the dungeon crawler is a simulation of Bram being haunted over and over. But how much of the rest is simulates, and how much is real?

"Choke!" screams Lacie, taking care to land her spit on the windshield. Bram responds by turning on the wipers and cleaning it off, giving her the finger, and then pulling into a parking spot in front of the perfume and incense bazzar.
"Probably wouldn't even know what to do with it..." Bram says under his breath and he puts the car into park.
A kid leans huddled against the building in a pile of dirty clothes, wearing a tarp like a blanket. He looks up at Bram as he walks in to the store, and tries to say something, but his voice is too quiet. Bram tries not to notice, and the kid reaches out, grabbing Bram's pant leg.
Bram responds with one, swift kick in the face. The kid recoils back, and slumps to the side. Is he dead?

Bram spends the night in his motel formulating a plan of attack for the house. First he will go to the store, pick up a few items: A flashlight, a knife, some water and food, maybe some paper for a map and bolt-cutters in case anything in the place is locked. Then Bram would go to the house and give himself a tour.
Before going to bed, Bram moves to close the curtains; an old and giant relic of a car sits across the street, and someone sits inside... it seems like they are looking at Bram, but to what end? Bram closes the curtains and goes to sleep.
When Bram wakes again a few hours later the sun hasn't risen, but it will before too long. Bram turns on his light, grabs his bag, puts on his pants and turns off the light on the way out of the room - simple moves for a simple man.
He slips out of his room and starts to get in his car... but something is off, the car from the night before is still across the street, and still has someone sitting in it. They appear to be asleep, so Bram gets into his car quickly to try to leave before the person can wake up.

It's too late, as Bram starts the car the person in the other car opens their door, gets out, and actually starts to walk toward Bram, who quickly puts his car into gear and pulls out of the lot, heading to the store.

Bram starts to react, but the car turns and heads off in the direction of the store.
The strange car out of sight, Bram wildly waves his middle finger about out the window, then swears a bit, pulling off in the other direction - there is a truck stop just around the corner, it is closer than the store was, but their selection won't be as good, and subsequently the items that Bram walks away with won't be as good either.
For food Bram has to settle with a light snack; they straight up don't have bolt-cutters ("what kind a place you think I got, Mistur...?") and their knife section is mostly comprised of kitchen-ware for some reason, a $187 buck-knife and about 7 utility-pocket knives that wouldn't really be much use in this situation. An employee tried to make up for it by selling Bram a wrench; Bram wasn't interested in the wrench.
He looks up at the girl who tried to sell him a wrench again, for maybe the 20th time; she has on a short grey skirt and a tight top with some kind of wordage across the chest - Bram isn't looking at the words. //wouldnt wear a shirt like that for people to read....// he reasons in a way that drips.

"Tell me you have a lighter at least..." Bram asks through his smile with an unnecessarily hard tone.
"... only matches. Sir." They have dropped the smile now, but Bram doesn't notice; he is not looking at their face.
With a heavy sigh, "How much then." The clerk waves their hand and tosses a small book of matches in the bag. Bram grabs the small pad of notes and a key-chain penlight that is at least made of metal, checks out and walks back out to the parking lot..]

Bram does not know what to say, but he knows that he is going to give this kid a lesson, and then go to work on the truck stop owner, and probably all of the other employes, even grey-skirt inside.
"Sir, You should really learn to lock your doors lest more unscrupulous figures than myself decide to intercede." they shout from inside the car, not budging.
From nowhere words come out of Bram's mouth, but he is seeing red, and does not even properly realize he has spoken: "Intervene... get the fuck out of my car illiterate pig."
They get out of the car, gesture a curtsey, and then hold up their pointer and thumb. As Bram gets closer and more angry, they whistle and make the gap between their fingers smaller, sliding the whistle into an "...okaaaaayyyyy..."
Two men leaning against the truck stop wall are now paying attention, and laugh, and the third employee starts to head in their direction.
Bram starts to roll up his sleeves, intent on reaching the punk first, but the other employees also move and meet up with their friend before Bram can get to them.
//''HONK''// Bram is standing in the middle of the drive, looking between the employees sharing their joint, and the girl inside. Without looking up at the car trying to drive to a pump, Bram gives the finger. //''HOOONNNNNNNNK''//
Angry at how the morning has gone, Bram (if: $InCarVar is true) [ [[drives off... ->Drive off]] ] (else-if: $CTakJointVar is true) [ [[drives off ->Ctak talk]] ] (else:) [ [[checks the back seat, and then drives off... ->Check the back of the car, then drive off]] ]The Caretaker Sanity: (print: $CareWillVar)
Mr. Bram Damage: (print: $EmoDamageVar)
Bram doesn't notice the door at first because he is looking at a group of punks huddled by the station. He stops for a second, considering a confrontation, then turns to look in the station again; is the girl watching? She's not; Bram daydreams for a second, //shame, she would have seen a real show.//
//''HONK''// Bram is standing in the middle of the drive, looking between the employees sharing their joint, and the girl inside. Without looking up at the car trying to drive to a pump, Bram gives the finger. //''HOOONNNNNNNNK''//. Now Bram is paying attention to the car, he approaches the driver window punching his open palms, and cracking his knuckles. The driver white-knuckles and pulls out of the parking lot, to Bram's satisfaction.
Bram approaches his car, and the smell coming from within is profound, and he immediately gags, and greens out into a nearby dumpster that smells very similar to his car right now. Mr. Bram grabs paper towels from a different car-cleaning station, and tears off pieces to roll up and plug his nose. It isn't enough to block most of it, but it is enough to get the rest of the job done.
Bram picks up the paper bag placed on his seat, and almost immediately the bottom tears out, and a rotting fish plops on to the seat; it doesn't bounce because the seat is already saturated with juice. He can't do anything for 5 whole minutes but stand at the front of the car with his hand on the hood, retching and giggling at the same time.
Much to the employee's dismay, he eventually get's a squeegee and scoops the fish and as much of the goop out onto the pavement as possible, and then... (if: $InCarVar is true) [ [[Bram drives off ->Drive off]] ] (else-if: $CTakJointVar is true) [ [[drives off ->Ctak talk]] ] (else:) [ [[Bram checks the back of the car, and then drives off ->Check the back of the car, then drive off]] ]The Caretaker Sanity: (print: $CareWillVar)
Mr. Bram Damage: (print: $EmoDamageVar)
For a second Bram is not sure what the man fucking with his car is talking about, all he can think of is to beat this kid's ass. Yes he can see that it is an employee, it does not matter, one //does no ''fuck''// with another man's possessions. //or women//. And then Bram remembers the grey skirt and tight top. //She was already having this... so clearly// "I'd win."//fuck did I say that out loud?// Bram stops for a second.
The hood slams shut and the employee is saying something, and gesturing a "tiny bit", so Bram assumes that means he might need window-wiper fluid, which would mean he could go prove that he would win.
//''HONK''// Bram is standing in the middle of the drive, looking between the employees sharing their joint, and the girl inside. Without looking up at the car trying to drive to a pump, Bram gives the finger. //''HOOONNNNNNNNK''//
Bram looses interest quickly, and goes to look under his hood. He had to hotwire this car, it's a long story, and if the person looking under the hood found it that could be bad. Seems they didn't find it, nor did they break it on accident, so Bram closes the hood again, takes one last look inside the gas station, and then (if: $InCarVar is true) [ [[he drives off. ->Drive off]] ] (else-if: $CTakJointVar is true) [ [[drives off ->Ctak talk]] ] (else:) [after checking the back seats [[he drives off. ->Check the back of the car, then drive off]] ]The Caretaker Sanity: (print: $CareWillVar)

Bram looks up at some point along the way to Gable Hill, and nearly misses a person on a bike who is crossing the road - he has to swerve a bit, and something heavy slides around in the back seat, Bram notices, but won't let himself turn around to check. That would be paranoia speaking for sure, although maybe not unwarranted given the day that Bram has already had.

On the next road he almost hits another car, moving his arm around to give them the finger instead, spitting in their direction as he passres. They honk, but react too slowly as Bram is already a few car-lengths away.

Bram enters the dining room, the sun has almost set, but the room is aglow from phantom candlelight. The long table is set for a grand meal; porcelain, silk and silver! Bram greedily grabs a fork and puts it into his pocket, and by the time that he pulls his and out the fork has stabbed all the way in on its own. Bram's vision goes white for a second, and when he comes back to there is a dinner on the table, complete with a small, flat roast, exactly the size and shape of a human torse. Bram screams, works the form out and slams it into the table. The setting fades, but the damage to the table remains, and from the depths the housewife screams out in disdain. A door slams and Bram jumps...

The ballroom is clearly a vast space, but at some point the ceiling from above collapsed, and what Bram is currently looking at doesn't quite make sense; it looks like the ramains of a swimming pool, and maybe a large window that has been utterly destroyed and strewn around. There is also a large gap in the ceiling where, whatever this used to be presumably used to exist.

The kitchen is a standard kitchen for a house of this size, with black and white checkerboard tiles, and outdated appliances. It smells familiar, but at first Bram cannot place it; something baked. He checks the oven, and the smell gets stronger, despite the mess of spiderwebs inside; blueberry muffins.
Today it smells like blueberry muffins, and Bram checks the stove.

The hallway is pretty standard, separating the master suite, and a set of old bedrooms that have been converted into... something else...

He hears Lacie, he hears those that he will one day torture to death back there, and then he hears the rest, all calling out, crying out, begging to be released from this hell. Bram crouches to the floor holding on to his ears until they stop. He no longer cares about how he looks, he is just ready to leave.

There is also a large gap in the ceiling where, whatever this used to be presumably used to exist.

(if: $EmoDamageVar is >95) [Bram has had too much and loses his mind, destined to wander through the depths until the circus freak collects him]
The ballroom is clearly a vast space, but at some point the ceiling from above collapsed, and what Bram is currently looking at doesn't quite make sense; it looks like the ramains of a swimming pool, and maybe a large window that has been utterly destroyed and strewn around. There is also a large gap in the ceiling where, whatever this used to be presumably used to exist.

The hallway is pretty standard, separating the master suite, and a set of old bedrooms that have been converted into... something else... Bram walks into the hallway, and the circus music begins again from the lost rooms. He hears Lacie, he hears those that he will one day torture to death back there, and then he hears the rest, all calling out, crying out, begging to be released from this hell. Bram crouches to the floor holding on to his ears until they stop. He no longer cares about how he looks, he is just ready to leave.

The hallway is pretty standard, separating the master suite, and a set of old bedrooms that have been converted into... something else... Bram walks into the hallway, and the circus music begins again from the lost rooms. He hears Lacie, he hears those that he will one day torture to death back there, and then he hears the rest, all calling out, crying out, begging to be released from this hell. Bram crouches to the floor holding on to his ears until they stop. He no longer cares about how he looks, he is just ready to leave.

For the first time since entering the house Bram can fully see a spirit, sanding directly in front of him - not an apparition, not a shadow figure, but a fully realised corporeal being. Bram still lays on the ground, huddled into a ball. The books have disappeared, replaced with thick fog, the room seems smaller than before, but Bram cannot see any walls.
He can hear people talking around him in an excited hush, as if they are wtaching something that maybe they shouldn't be. Sangrii's voice booms out over the din - "Come One, COME ALL... Come Some, or None At All!" The people hush each other, and the glow around Bram intensifies slightly as if someone has turned up house-lights.
Sangrii is tall and thin, gaunt. His long, thick black hair hangs wildly in curls and kinks, spilling out of his tophat in all directions. One eye is bright blue, but the other is entirely white with just a pupil in the center. He wears a long, red velvet coat, with ruffles matted by blood. His mouth is black, but his teeth are even blacker, glistening in the light. A dark, thick liquid flows from his eyes, and from his mouth endlessly, as he talks.
"You're not alone, baldy. Not in this house, not ever."
"Fuck this bullshit, who else is here, what did you give me?" Bram is surprised at the strength of his voice.
"Tedioussss..." grins Sangrii, pulling out a straight-razor, deftly slicing just a little into Bram's arm. As he licks the blood off, he asks, "Was that bullshit? It most decidedly is not bullshit, mon sur." Bram's arm is bleeding profusely, but he cannot do anything to stop it, as if in a nightmare. Sangrii spits, and then adds "//Tense. Agreement.//"
"So no one else is here, just me?"
"Dumbass, I already //tooooolllllld// you, you are not alone, not in this house. There is another. And also all of us..." As he says the final line he spins around, and the people surrounding them applaud excitedly, then quickly die down as Sangrii puts down his hands. "You will not join the cavalcade, my collection. //Chief Officer// himself has his eye on you..."
"What do I do now?"
The room starts to fade, but Sangrii's voice grows louder; he remains for a moment as Bram finds himself in the library again... "All you can do now, is survive."
He fades away before Bram's incredulous eyes, mouth and eyes last, winking as they fade out.
Bram has never felt so alone.

His mouth is black, but his teeth are even blacker, glistening in the light. A dark, thick liquid flows from his eyes, and from his mouth endlessly, as he talks.
"You're not alone, baldy. Not in this house, not ever."
"Fuck this bullshit, who else is here, what did you give me?" Bram is surprised at the strength of his voice.
"Tedioussss..." grins Sangrii, pulling out a straight-razor, deftly slicing just a little into Bram's arm. As he licks the blood off, he asks, "Was that bullshit? It most decidedly is not bullshit, mon sur." Bram's arm is bleeding profusely, but he cannot do anything to stop it, as if in a nightmare. Sangrii spits, and then adds "//Tense. Agreement.//"
"So no one else is here, just me?"
"Dumbass, I already //tooooolllllld// you, you are not alone, not in this house. There is another. And also all of us..." As he says the final line he spins around, and the people surrounding them applaud excitedly, then quickly die down as Sangrii puts down his hands. "You will not join the cavalcade, my collection. //Chief Officer// himself has his eye on you..."
"What do I do now?"
The room starts to fade, but Sangrii's voice grows louder; he remains for a moment as Bram finds himself in the library again... "All you can do now, is survive."
He fades away before Bram's incredulous eyes, mouth and eyes last, winking as they fade out.
Bram has never felt so alone.

Bram is now looking down the stairs, scanning for whoever is messing around; a pair of lights 2-4 inches apart float around the lower landing. The rest of the house has gone dark, and Bram is focused on the lights. Is it a candleabra? A sort of fog rolls out of the hallway past the secret door, and quickly makes its way down the stairs; it smells like sulphur.
It gets to the dots, and for just a second Bram can see much more, they're eyes, cold and dead and gleaming in reflection; fire and heat, yellow and red the eyes are reflecting hell. the eyes are socketed deep in a cow's head, just... with feline teeth and massive ram-horns. It turns to look at Bram, and opens a third eye.
The being moves in jerky motions; it doesns't have legs, and its arms are proportionate to the torso, but its hands are not, they are long and thin, proportionate to the horns. With two large bat wings It foats around at the bottom of the stairs for a minute, staring at Bram. Then it stops moving and stares, waiting for Bram to move.
Bram moves back, ever so slightly; the creature lunges forward, but instead of flying up the stairs at Bram it pulls itself up along the banister, one hand then another. It keeps in the air with its wings, and it moves too fast for Bram to really even comprehend what is happening. He gets knocked back, almost down the stairs as it passes, going through the secret door and closing it.

The item difficulty determines how many rooms you must go through as Bram before you can leave. If your damage reaches a certain threashold before you have gone through the amount of rooms listed, then you loose.

good job you found the bottom of another pageThank you for being a better human than Bram.
Good Karma to you,
[[Mr. Bram can...]] No... he isn't. It never occurs to Bram to wonder why he is standing here watching this kid come back - does he care if this kid is suffering? Does he take pleasure in watching? Even Bram himself does not know, at least not yet.
After a second the kid comes to, spits out a few teeth, and looks up at Bram with tears in his eyes - why? Why did Bram do that, why is he still standing here? Bram shifts his weight as if he is going to kick again, the kid flinches, and, somehow satisfied, Bram goes into the store.
Inside, down aisle 8, into the out-of-order bathroom, down the stairs and at a table in the back, Bram sits smoking a hookah and listening to the table-of-three huddled one table over. They are discussing a failed paranormal investigation at an abandoned house, and Bram is keen to make money off of the property. Bram listens to the teens talk, waiting for his moment to interject... all he needs is the location of the house.
Finally it comes...
"Claire didn't get out did she?"
"I'm sure she-"
"bullshit, you know it"
"But Claire!"
"She's -"
"Shut up!" "Shut up!"
"No. Let me talk She's... I know she's not okay. I saw her go through that door, and then I heard..."
...a long pause...
"...sounded like a crunch..."
Bram leans over. "I'll get your friend, I just need to know the location of the house." Then, looking to the girl at the table, "Unless you want to show me where it is...?" Bram flexes his bicep and grins, working the toothpick in his mouth, sticking it into and taking it out of a bright-pink piece of gum with his tongue.
In response the girl pulls her hoodie closed to hide the top of her chest, shrugs and leans to the guy, muttering something - the only words Bram can hear are "...I think... ...Lacie..."
Sensing the direction that the conversation is headed, Bram quickly added, "Okay look just tell me where to go, and I will be out of your way..."
The teens leer at Bram, but don't respond at first... Bram pushes on... "Look you aren't going back, are you?"
The girl looks at one of the boys, the shorter one, who shakes his head, no. Bram holds out his phone with the writing app open... "What's the harm, it's simple. Just let me know where to go?" The smaller of the two boys finally takes the phone like it will give him a disease, and types in an address.
Before long they leave, and Bram gets up as if to say bye, but just watches the girl as they walk out, chewing his gum loudly. Not long after Bram also leaves, satisfied with the information he got, and he makes his exit.
