Who's Afraid of the Bogeyman?

[CyledyrWyllt]

Upon stepping between the two trees, the darkness and wild undergrowth below the bridge both thicken to obscure even the slightest glimmer of natural light. The air is heavy and oppressive. The night is pitch black in this part of the Hedge, and almost impossible to make out any sort of path in the surrounding Thorns.

[Nightfall]

After putting his glove back on, Nightfall moved through the gate. Not that he wasn't feeling gentlemanly, but neither did he want Alice to cross over first if danger waited.

He tried to ignore the invisible grip of the Wyrd, suffocating him with magical shackles, but couldn't help but touch his chest, as if he'd feel the chains of the Pledge.

Finishing his earlier thought to take his mind off it, he reached back for his bow, knocking an arrow and waiting.

[Sam Barkley]

Sam removes his sunglasses as extremely counterproductive, but it hardly makes a difference. If he were hunting on his own, he might forego the attention serious illumination would bring, but its vital this many people, and the Sovereign present, know where they're stepping. "Right, stand back," he says, sidling past Spartan to take point. "We need to see what we're about, metalhead," the former Hunter says, forcing the Glamour within to spill forth in brilliant, Summer light...turning Sam into a rather irritable Christmas tree.

Ulf's Heart

The book says it lasts for a scene but 2 Glam can be spent to make it last an hour...which is the same thing, lol. If I need to spend an extra Glam to get scene-length time from the Contract, that's what I'll do.

[CyledyrWyllt]

As Marcus steps into the Briars, the sunlight of a warm Summer afternoon floods the entire area around Sam with its shining brightness. The assembled Lost can now see that they are on a narrow path through the Thorns. It twists its way through the choking greenery on either side of the gate. Spartan lights his lump of tallow and soon notices a strong smell, similar to cooking bacon-wrapped feces. The Ogre is unable to tell if the light it casts leads in a particular direction due to the overpowering brightness of Sam's Contract.

[Nightfall]

"Goddamn, Sam," Nightfall mutters, mistaking the source of the odor and unable to help himself.

"Next time just pay the Glamour," he added, in case Sam's Gateway had some obscure Catch.

[Alice White]

Making sure that she had all of her gear with her and everything was secured in place, Alice wrinkled her nose at the smell of whatever it was. Then she looked carefully down both paths in the hedge to see if there was any immediate danger while trying take her mind of the stench. The spring sovereign couldn't help but focus on the hedge lining each side of the path wondering if it was going to attack her here as well like it had at her appartment.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Faith follows behind the others, warily looking at the Thorns around them. Owen is at her side, taking one last look back at the mortal world, hefting his piece of yellow porcelain.

Before he can go further, she stops him with a hand to his chest. "Stay with me, kid. And if we do find your friend, don't you even dare go f**king rushing in," she warns him in a tone she hopes doesn't make her sound too much like his mother. "I haven't forgotten that little stunt back at your place, half-pint." But she can't really keep that stern tone, or blame him. Heck, she probably would have done the same thing. She tries to make him forget that little reprimand with a smile and a "I like your weapon." She barely manages to get the last word out before she is somewhat forced to pinch her nose. Ugh, this is worse than the fish shop.
