WW121: The Haunting of Lupine Manor—Chapter 8

Date and Time: Unknown

Willow isn’t the only one missing from your group. One of the other children — the manor seems to prey on innocence — is also gone.

Nanami Tsukino (Grump) is dead. She was an Ordinary Guest (Vanilla Town).

You feel a twinge of regret for this particular demise. Death is always tragic, but this girl seemed more innocent and kind than most.

But there is no time for grief as everyone immediately notices that the hallway only leads to one other room. This time, it isn’t locked. The double doors are wide open, as if inviting them in.

“Wait… but the library isn’t supposed to be here,” Edith says. “I was just here the other day, and it’s all the way on the other side of the manor.”

“I don’t think the laws of physics apply here anymore,” the Pug Lady says wryly. “In fact, our friendly ghost companion has pretty much rendered them irrelevant.”

You ignore their banter and walk towards the winding, metal staircase in the middle of the room. It is completely rusted over, and it looked like a slight breeze could topple it down. But you feel the urge to climb it, up and up until you find whatever it is that’s been calling to you since you stepped foot in Lupine Manor.

• Ties result in RNG between the top vote-getters.
• Wolves share a QT. Serial Killers share a QT.
• Win condition for all players – You win if your faction is the last one standing or if it’s mathematically impossible for another faction to win.
• Any player spreadsheets should stop being updated at the player’s death. Another (living) player can continue the same spreadsheet.
