Life is absurdity itself, there's no meaning and the illusion of having one is a tool of indoctrination.

You're inside a corridor without windows, only a straight passway that leads to a dead end. The tourches are blazing and placed each 20 feet to provide enough light to gaze your surroundings and step confidently. You hear wind yet there's no breeze, you feel humidity yet there's no water on sight. The door you used to enter this corridor is gone and your back is touching what seems to be a sturdy wall. What do you do in that predictment?​

The situation you have described is unrealistic, please reconsider.

Do you love horror?

A few months ago, during the first week of september 2025, because of covid. Even my recent tirzepatide treatment didn't make me throw up, and i'm surprised given how much nauseous it makes me.

If you're old, at what age did you start to loose your hair ? For me, it was at 17.
If you're young, do you have people in your family with hair loss ?

I think so - clearly someone's not a TTRPG player.

Does a... 22 find any traps in the immediate vicinity?
Around you the floor is even, the walls don't have remarkable features and you don't spot wires, holes or cracks that could point to some kind of device hidden that could endanger you by stepping forwards or resting on the walls. The celling is lacking adornments and there is nothing hanging on it or openings, it's a pretty shaped stonework in fact.

During the time you've been checking the area around you some dripping sounds became audible to you from somewhere afar, irregular like when you hang a drenched coat to dry. What is your next thought?

Creatures from the depths. Preparing Thunder Spell to turn those innsmouth cretins into fish sticks.

What's your favourite part of the lovecraftian mythos?

Impossible odds - everyone loses at the end. The entertainment value is watching it happen, kind of like a slow motion train wreck.

I take a sling and skip a smooth rock along the floor toward the far end of the hallway, with a... 16 to hit. Anything unusual happen?

Your shot flies like any of your usual shots: it draws a parabola but it seems the end was more far than you expected as it first hits the ground and, on a couple of hops, ends up rebouncing on the wall at the end. However you notice that the sound from hitting on the wall was considerably lower than the one that returned from the ground. Besides this, nothing else changes, and you notice again all the previous sounds making noise again.

Now that you have a better notion of the corridor's length, what's your next move?

Move about one quarter of the way down the hall, as best as I can estimate, and pause to listen.

With a... 20 on a perception roll, do the sounds of wind and water still seem to be coming from in front of me?

Roll failed.


I'll sit this one out after this, I don't really know this kind of stuff


Anything that lurking know you not brave enough to slit innocent's throat. It can smell the cowardice in you. That thing is more intelligent than you think. Now the creature know, you will lie and cheat and it become more cautious. What will you do now?

What a fool, that creature. Blood splatters as a now limbless body falls to the floor. I have waited too long and sacrificed too much for this frivolty.

Powered by the barmaid's life force I begin to prepare my earthquake spell after casting a shield. I roll the dice, what happens?
(Should we make a dedicated thread for that?)
