    Good, he’s talking. Keep him talking to buy the other team time. He smiled at the Huntsman, defiantly meeting his gaze without breaking eye contact. His heart slowly hammering in his chest as he did his best to stand tall, to stand proud. To basically be everything he was not, luckily deception comes easy in Winter.

    Take me home with you and turn me into game? I’ve been among your kind, do you want to know what the most important lesson I learned there was?”

    Bait him, keep him on the edge and keep him wondering. Every second here counts, every second could be on someone’s life. He snapped his fingers conjuring flame to light the dream cigarette, taking a drag as he blinked softly looking into the mask that The huntsman wore here.



    James is mostly rolling to hide how terrified he is.

    Mein: Rhodes has pale whitish skin, elfin ears and deep, overly large emerald eyes. Thin black veins broach the surface of his skin like the roots of a tree emerging from the ground. Dark, broad leaves sprout from his wrists, ankles and temples, spreading around the back of his head. Deep red flowers bloom at the temples and wrists.

    Mantle: A breath of icy wind, the kind that penetrates and sends a chill down the spine. Ash leaves in red, yellow and gold spin into existance around him, caught on the breeze. As the wind blows, unnerving whispers can be heard, always coming from a direction just out of one's field of vision.

    Rhodes turns and heads back into the Hollow.

    What are they doing in there?

    Slowly he kneels besides Yamiyo, and lays a hand on her shoulder, gentle shaking her away.

    Rhodes tries to shake the Succubus awake, but the women like James, continues to sleep...


    Within the Dream of the Impossible Forest, James under his terror knows that he's only manipulating the Dream because the Huntsman is allowing it.


    "Oh, I know what you've learned little shadow boy. You are free of your Keeper." a grin, still wide, manic and fierce. "You have run from Them. You have hidden from Them. You continue to you continue to run and hide...fromThem." a sibilant hiss, "Now little shadow boy, why don't you. Run. From. Me."







    Remember if you want to Manipulate the Dream - making small changes You'd need to roll Wits+Empathy+Wyrd-5

    and a Resolve+Composure to resist the Intimidation!

    James brought the cigarette to his lip a taking in a long drag and exhaling it as the Huntsman stood there posturing. He let sorrow fill him, he remembered what he lost that day he was taken and what he lost when he left. Fear was replaced with Sorrow and for a second he felt pity for the Huntsman.

    He knew he could be ended in an instant, he’d seen his duel with Rhodes and knew he didn’t measure up in any meaningful way. Yet here they were having this conversation. The Mouse looking up into the mouth of the Lion waiting to be eaten.

    Eyes peering back into the Huntsman’s trying to see behind the Veil to look into his past but the True Fae was a master of the domain and of Fate so his Visions were denied. Shame. James was ever curious to know what would make a True Fae FEEL.

    “No. I don’t think I will. Would you like a cigarette?” He rummaged through his pockets as a chill rolled through him, pulling out the pack that was here and on his sleeping body. It was a partially crumpled mess, the lid bent in and damaged as he flipped it open and held one out to the Huntsman. James was no Autumn courtier, he didn’t know anything about the True Fae or their nature all he had to work with was guesswork and conjecture but it’s what he had to work with.




    James was the defender so wins the tie. He also failed to use Vision of Strife. Possible to get a Willpower back for indulging in Gluttony?

    "You don't think you will." the Huntsman growls out, a sibilant echo. The manic grin falling from the Other's lips, instead the lip raises much like the hounds in the True Fae's keep, and the Huntsman snarls, "RUN FROM ME!"

    James was frustrated by the lack of information Omens had given him but bolstered by the opportunity to just dig a little deeper. The night was coming to a close, he couldn’t keep this up for long and he needed to step out while the Huntsman was on the backfoot. Keep him off balance, on tilt as poker players would say. This is how he’d make mistakes. James didn’t need to use the talents his own Keeper had given him, had impressed upon him to read the Huntsman to know how angry he was getting, he was hoping for it. He knew he couldn't hang much longer so a frustrating exit was his best chance.

    3 successes


    “You really need to think up some new Material. This…” He waved his hand up and down at the Huntsman’s form and shook his head. “…just isn’t scary here. I’m sure when you’re back at home it scares all the little people you captured…for now. That’s what I learned when I was away. So tell me, how many have you lost? How many have escaped from you? How many more will? It must be frustrating. Anyways, I really must be going now it’s been enlightening.”

    He let his form start to melt away and fade as his eyes in the real world jerked left and right, his body starting to shift and stir. He’d give Fate one last chance before awaking. Once he’d started digging himself a hole, he had a really hard time stopping, most of the Freehold could attest to that. He’d let the Visions be his awakening.

    1 success



    If the Visions is too much we can just ignore it, I figure it's a good chance to get the scene into Canon now that the others are wrapped up too.

    After James feels the Clause invoke, it happens very, very fast after that.

    Bleeding lighting strikes through his psyche, he sees too much all at once. Flashes of colour, vagaries of emotion. Loss and Pride, and Hatred and Rage. Then, gleaming, silent within the impossibility of the Keeper's memories, a white hart. No, a unicorn? Impossibly white - pure, horn or was it antlers, beautifully twisted upon the crown, dainty ears twitch catching something on the air.

    It wasn't the Huntsman, it was something else.

    The something else, wild, dark. Teeth and claws, and blood matted fur.

    Before thought, or action the monster slaughters the hart, and the Huntsman cries, and gives chase!

    With a gasp James slams into wakefulness, heart hammering, blood thrumming, feeling the searing echo of LossPrideHatredRage.



    WIth the Vision paired with WP Damage, and Spent WP James wakes! We can have a few posts between Rhodes and James before we wrap. Y'all can try and wake Yamiyo again if you want.

    James shot awake next to Rhodes, who was standing over Yamiyo trying to shake her awake. His hands came to his temples grabbing his head as the visions pushed into his mind muttering to himself out loud . "Loss, Pride, Hate, Rage. Loss, Pride, Hate, Rage." His hands shaking as the trembled moved down his body. "P-p-p-paper. Pen." A trembling hand reaching out, not even sure where he was but knowing he had to get the information down before it got lost in the skein of dreams, to blow away in the wind like so much dust.

    As the movement happens next to him, Rhodes glances across, his usually maksed face one of alwarm.

    What happened in there? What did he say? Is he still ours?


    Though he knew James was still fo the Freehold throught the Wyrdstone, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.... minutes awake could be hours in the dream. What had they done in there?

    He looks back, and attempts to rouse Yamiyo again., shaking her by the shoulder.

    "Miss Lillich. Wake up."

    This is Autumn's Hollow, surly there is something to write on, and something to write with.

    As for the slumbering succubus, she continues to ignore the call of the waking world.
