At the end of [[All Hallow's Scream]], this scene happened, showing a group of hooded figures standing before a large, ornate mirror. All of the figures are wearing smooth, white masks like the faces of ancient Greek statues, except the central figure, who ritualistically carves out their own eye. They hold the eye before the mirror and begin chanting. The reflection in the mirror shows the eye coming to life, its nerve stem flicking back and forth like an animal’s tail. ### The Town History #### Founders of Brindlewood Bay In the summer of 1877, the crew of the whaler Deep Reaver set out from Brindlewood Bay. They returned with the strangest whale anyone had ever seen. It had tentacle-like legs and rows of oily, black eyes. They sold its parts all over the world, and the proceeds were used to turn Brindlewood Bay into what it is today. Most of the crew of the Deep Reaver was killed during the battle with the “whale”. Those that survived were only able to do so because they made a pact with something even darker and deeper than the “whale.” #### Stockton Shock In the Summer of 1893, Hale Willoughby, a Deep Reaver survivor, murdered thirteen women and children. He claimed he was simply doing “that what was promised by him below.” Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, the jury found him innocent. He was released from jail and allowed to build a shack on the old Stockton farmland, where he lived out the rest of his days in relative peace. During that time, he kept to himself and rarely came to town, though he was said to frequently engage in strange religious rites in the middle of the night. #### Submarine Surprise In the spring of 1942, wreckage from a Nazi U-boat washed ashore at Brindlewood Bay. The U-boat appeared to have been torn to pieces—literally ripped apart—and some of the interior bulkheads had strange, occult symbols scrawled all over them. No bodies ever turned up, but there was one reported survivor: a Nazi submariner whose mind was shattered and who committed suicide by repeatedly slamming his head into a wall shortly after being detained. The U.S. government gathered the pieces of the wreckage before it could become a major story in the papers. ### Shady Characters #### **Eudora “Dorie” Coffin, Chair of the Brindlewood Bay Lunch Club** Dorie has been the chair of the Brindlewood Bay Lunch Club for as long as anyone can remember. The Lunch Club is a women’s organization dedicated to raising money for the preservation of Brindlewood Bay’s historical sites, and her position as chair makes her one of the most well-connected people in town. Dorie is a direct descendant of the Deep Reaver’s crew. ![[Dorie Coffin.png|400]] ### Void Clues ##### Dad Overboard (0) No void clues found ##### All Hallows Scream (1) The Hercules movie poster comes alive and the characters beckons you in ![[Void Hercules.png|200]] ##### The Great Brindlewood Bay Bake Off (4) An oven that seems impossibly vast and dark ![[Void Dark Oven.png|200]] The shadow of something unnatural crawling atop the baking tent ![[Void Shadows Crawling Inside the Tent.png|200]] A tray of gingerbread men engaged in lurid acts ![[Void GingerBread Cookies Tinted.png|200]] People standing at the edge of the forest in white stone masks ![[Void Masked Figures.png|200]] ##### Jingle Bell Shock (3) Magdalena’s tarot deck is all The Devil—every card ![[Void Tarot Devils.jpeg|200]] A nativity scene features a Baby Jesus that bleats like a goat ![[Void Nativity Jesus Goat.png|200]] Chestnut IV is whispering to something unseen in the corner ![[Void Chestnut and the Darkness.png|200]] ##### A Night at the Whaling Museum (?)
