Here is Casper's toplevel.

I prefer not permanent madness, but temporary mind scramble is okay as long as he can get cured or it wears off. He needs to punchy ghosts, okay.

[ninjayeehaw]

Kinji's top-level is here!

Still tentatively down for mental trauma/temporary insanity, but would kinda prefer to not have it too long lasting? LET'S SEE WHERE WE GO

[comebewe]

Here is Matthew's top level.

Death is the only hard no. Possession I am totally good with. Mental Trauma / Temporary Insanity I probably down for, but not anything permanent.

Also I am potentially up for other people jumping aboard the zooming electric angel train if they want, so let me know.

[powersthatare]

I am very sorry to report that your link is broken!

[comebewe]

OOPS sorry about that!

here it is, in hopefully non-broken form

[powersthatare]

Got it!

[haremtrap]

Kohaku toplevel here. I think I can handle whatever happens, permissionswise, as long as she can recover back to normal by the end of the jaunt.

[itsananimalthing]

Riddick's top-level for dreaming shit.

No making Riddick go crazy, and killing him will be hard, but various nasty stuff is fine.

[capital_asset]

Raidou's dream exploration is here. His permissions allow for mental trauma, but given that he's getting that from visions already, I'm not sure how much of that he really needs here.

[powersthatare]

On one of the alien moons, Riddick will encounter a Mi-Go carrying a brain in a jar. It can use eldritch sigils to counteract his own & will attack him psychologically more than physically, attempting to keep a distance from him. Unless something unforseen occurs, this is not likely to be an interactive mod-driven encounter, & so it's probably best if it occurs in a thread after Riddick meets another Traveler on an alien planet.

[powersthatare]

After seeming to escape the unseen creature stalking her, Kohaku will be attacked by a Gug in her dream. Physical trauma it inflicts will be echoed at about half-severity on her waking body. This was not selected to be an interactive plot encounter, so the combat should likely be handwaved or threaded in collaboration with another Traveler.

[powersthatare]

After pushing through the snow, Casper will find himself in a dark and snowy forest. In it, these things are fighting a battle with numerous wild cats. He is welcome to take either side in the fight, or simply observe, and the consequences to his health or sanity may depend on his choices. If you would like to encounter another Traveler, the two of you can thread this encounter out together, & mods will provide more information when appropriate. If this would work better for you as a direct mod-interaction thread, let us know, & we can do that instead.

[haremtrap]

Is it possible to harm the Gug?

[powersthatare]

Definitely! It is physically resilient but no more so than any other brutish mythological monstrosity. Its ass can be kicked.

[haremtrap]

Sick. Fighting brutish monstrosities is one of her specific skill sets. She's gonna fight it off, but not come out unscathed.

[powersthatare]

Sounds good!

[knightceties]

Here is Ace!

Uhhh for him I'm okay with injuries but I'd rather he be able to hold on enough to keep interacting w/ people through Week 4. /o/ I hope that works.

[thornsofmalkav]

Thorne's top-level.

Please no madness or death. She's been there done that in Dungeon Harrogate (thanks Alcuin) and she's trying to keep her Infiltrator Persona alive because she has regrets about the last time she was in Britain.

[youandyoualone]

Delaunay-as-Delaney has one here if you-know-who wants to talk to him. (Otherwise, I'm not so interested in a random fighty encounter as long as he's still Delaney. Sorry :c)

[brokers]

Here is Liara's toplevel.

I'm good with all levels of trauma/disaster.

[willyousee]

Alcuin's having a nightmare which he is attempting to combat and sieve for information.

I'm good with anything from death to curable madness. It doesn't have to be curable in jaunt, but I would like it to be fixable long-term.

[youandyoualone]

Adding that you could also hit him with You Know Who after Alcuin memory restored him if that more convenient for xir.

[powersthatare]

Sieving the dream, he should probably team up with another dreaming character who can fight the nightmares while he sieves for information. There is a dream of dangerous books on a high shelf that he can either sieve or read directly - let us know if he does either - but no NPC encounter requiring a direct-with-mods thread.

[powersthatare]

We suggest teaming up with either Riddick's alien-moon thread or Alcuin's dream-adventure thread to share their encounters! Or both!

[powersthatare]

The dream explorations this week have gone a little different than planned because of how hectic my life has been, but if you put Delaunay up for an Arcana encounter in week 4, we will absolutely give you one, although it may be a shared thread if we have enough new people sign up.

[youandyoualone]

Excellent. I'll do that.

[thornsofmalkav]

Yo, Matt suggests Thorne should take point with Alcuin, so that she can spam glowing butterflies at any baddies while he does the thing. I am up for that.

[thornsofmalkav]

And then I'd realized I'd replied to Matt and not you.

[willyousee]

sounds good to me!

[thornsofmalkav]

Yay! I'll tag you soon.

[helborn]

I think we need a mod tag about now, maybe?

[willyousee]

He will be seiving the books through his dreamcatcher and using his oracle abilities to read the contents at greater length.

[powersthatare]

Sieving the books will tell him they are real books on Father Brown's shelf containing dangerous but applicable knowledge, and enough power that the books dream of themselves and that's what he's Sifting. The dream of a dangerous book which wishes to be read.
