Sleep Paralysis

[Seraphina]

There was an amused sigh at the pun, “Circe rubbing off on you?” a hint of humor in her voice.

A nod to both Sonnie and Vincent, “We move forward, no use hiding anymore. We’ll eventually either come across whoever was controlling this Dream or have something else thrown at us to slow us down.” And she was content to begin walking forward.

So they go forward, or, rather, deeper.

The mixed environment of forest and city blend further, the farther they are away from the site of their misty battle. The wide space, and buffet of choice to go and explore narrows as concrete trees, and brick and bark building raise around them. Penning them into narrow alleyways. At their feet the mist follows. Not like it had been before it had coalesced into humanoid combatants, but cutting off their retreat, unless someone wants to try and cross the fog and see if it's just as cold as it had been before.

They still need to find the Dreamer, and whatever it is that is trying to keep them away so that it can continue to feed upon them.

Perception is welcome, as well as the figuring stuff out dream rolls. Just check the primer if you need help with rolls

[Sonnie Wu]

Sonnie had no desire to test the fog, so she stuck to the path, moving through the alleyways with a wary eye. She could only hope this was the way to the Dreamer, because she had no clue how else to go about this. At least she'd flexed her oneiromachy skills, so the Beast had some renewed sense of confidence as they moved forward.

The least she could do was be watchful.

[Vincent Black]

Vincent followed Sonnie she seemed to know the way, and with the cold still shaking him he was not in any condition to take the lead. Keeping his head on a swivel the least he could do is try to find a clue to which direction they should be heading.

She follows, sapphires looking around as they walk.


“We need to find the Dreamer.” She says, “Once we do, I believe we’ll find the cause of all this.” At least, that was her hope.

There's looking, and there's looking. The Lost are doing the former before expanding their extra senses to permeate the Dream once more. More than worried if the low laying mist will interfere with the process.

Everything around them is growing tall and narrow, the Lost cannot stand three abreast, nor two. They have to go single file.

Sonnie looks up and around, eyes lingering on up. There's no mist up. If she's up, then nothing can jump down on her. It'd be a quick climb to get up. The concrete and brick-bark make for nice handholds, but up would mean leaving Sera and Vincent on the ground, unless she could get them both up too...oh! There was metal stairs and thick branches crowding around further down the alley, that could be used to get them up.

Vincent and Sera, their focus isn't as upward as the Steepscrambler, notice the narrowing of the alleyway, the mist still behind them and a head of them, the stairs and branches Sonnie sees, cutting off the straight path forward. If they want to continue they need to decide if they're going up, or through.

Alrighty! We can either climb up, or crawl/thief in a laser grid it, Since we're Dreaming Climbing And Crawling will be Wyrd + Athletics. The Frist Climbing roll will not have any negatives, but the first Crawling roll will be -1. The second Climbing roll will be -1, and the second Crawling roll will be -2, third Climb will be -2, and the third crawl will be -3

Also I'm not saying that either path will only take these three rolls, but that you can only roll three times for your next post. Each roll is just a different part of either path, you need to get at least 1 suxx before you can move on to the next roll, but you can continue to roll for the part you're on until you do succeed unless you Dramatically Fail

[Sonnie Wu]

Up.

Up was good.

Up was safe.

That's what Sonnie's instincts told her, at least. Up in the trees, where the food was. Up in the trees, to escape the predators on the ground. She looked back at her companions, thoughtfully. They might be able to make it, if she helped them.

"I'm going up and over. Crawling through could leave us stuck and vulnerable. I'll see about getting a fire escape ladder down for you. Or a vine. Or something."

With that, the Steepscrambler began her ascent. She was... reasonably certain she could return quickly if there was a threat to Seraphina.

Woo! Sometimes, it's good to be a monkey!

[Vincent Black]

Vincent seeing Sonnie head up, and then seeing the stairs, "I think she has the right idea Sera, I think we should head up. It should at least give us a better view of what we are up against." Vincent heads for the stairs and begins his climb up.

She frowns, a narrow alleyway was not a place she wanted to be, even in a Dream. That just screamed trap.

Looking to Sonnie, who it sounds like found a better way, nodding, “I might be able to climb.” It was no secret she wasn’t very athletic, but it had never stopped her from trying.

Then looking to Vincent, a nod, “I agree. Lets get climbing!” a forced smile, this would either go well, or not.

Up is good, up is safe. Quick as the wind Sonnie climbs, it takes her less than a minute, less than a second, a millisecond, a nanosecond for her simian self to scale that wall and she's up. It feels cool up here, nice and fresh. It's like she can see forever from up here.

On the other hand, Vincent and Sera can't seem to make that final leg to get themselves up and over.

Alrighty Sera and Vincent are at the last roll, you can try and make it another 3 time, each roll is at a -3!

Since Sonnie is already up and over, she can help 1 person up that would be a Strength + Wyrd! If Sonnie gets 1 suxx on the roll she can negate the -3 on the up and over part of the climb for 1 person. If Sonnie gets an esuxx on her Strength + Wyrd roll she can help both people while negating the -3
