Arlathan Forest happens to be where the Black Fox and his companions disappeared, so while we're there (p.s. go sign up for stuff), Bastien's also going to drag some folks off on a side quest to solve the mystery of what happened to them.

Doing so will wind up escaping a desire demon-inflicted dream maze similar to the Fade plot in Dragon Age: Origins, but hopefully less frustrating. Rather than horrors, the dream scenarios characters have to navigate will be ones where they are BIG DAMN HEROES, successfully leading revolts or personally stabbing Corypheus or whatever else would make them feel legendary.

(The scope for this is meant to be pretty small and side quests—a quick scene of your character's heroic dream scenario, enough for everyone to see what it is, before they're pushed along to the next thing. Not big time-intensive prolonged adventures.)

To some degree, they'll be assisted by the dream ghosts of Remi Vascal and his pals. The degree depends on whether or not I convince people to NPC them with me or not. There are five total–Remi Vascal (obviously), his Circle mage lover Servana de Montfort, a bounty hunter BFF named Karolis, a dwarf named Bolek, and a knight named Ser Clementis. We know very little about any of their personalities or specific adventures so it'll be a chance for folks to go a little ham, if desired, and try out some over-the-top personalities. But if no one's interested in writing NPCs, there may just be a lot of silent ghost pointing.

In the event that more than 5 people try to sign up, this'll be capped at 5 participants, and preference will go to people willing to take on an NPC.

Sign up by September 3, 2020, if you want in.
