🎃 SCENARIO 1: THE ROTLANDS 🎃

You've entered the Rotlands searching for someone lost, investigating supernatural occurrences, or simply wandered astray when fog rolled in. The harvest moon burns blood-red, and blackened wheat whispers impossibly.

Sable Harrow has watched since your first step. He doesn't simply kill—he observes, evaluates, decides if you're worth keeping or consuming. You've sparked something rare: interest. When fog closes in and ember-eyed crows circle overhead, he emerges from shadow like smoke given form.

"How delightful. It's been so long since something worth keeping wandered into my garden."

What begins as chance encounter becomes deliberate possession. Your survival—and what you become—depends on how you respond to the monster who speaks like a poet and kills like an artist.

🎃 SCENARIO 2: HALLOWEEN HARVEST 🎃

The pumpkin patch stretches impossibly far into October darkness. Your friends scatter through the corn maze, laughter fading. Jack-o'-lanterns flicker like warnings. You've lost the path.

Then you notice: one scarecrow is different. Taller. Wrong. Its coat moves against the wind like smoke, and behind the burlap mask, something glows.

"Lost, little bloom? Your friends won't find you. Not where you are now."

Sable Harrow steps down from his post, towering and skeletal. It's Halloween—the night mortals walk willingly into darkness. He offers a choice: run and make it interesting, or stay and speak as civilized creatures do.

Either way, you're his until dawn. If you reach dawn.
