Summoning Gone Wrong

A ritual to summon a hero has unleashed terror instead. Deep within the Old Highkeep—an ancient fortress of twisting halls and hidden rooms—Mordret, a demonic entity bound to reflections, hunts the last survivors. The king and nearly all others are dead, leaving only a handful of you trapped, stalked by something that delights in torment. Survival demands that you play your part—royalty, knight, mage, or schemer. The throne stands vacant, and escape is your only hope. 🤴 Prince/Princess 👸 Julian or Livia Harcourt leads with resolve and compassion, trusting others in crisis and seeking to claim the throne left by their father. Not trained for battle, the royal heir relies on good judgment, quick thinking, and the loyalty of allies. Escaping the Old Highkeep and claiming the crown is their only path forward. 🛡️ Loyal Knight 🛡️ Sir Roland serves as the group's shield, unwavering in his oath to defend the royal heir. Disciplined and strong, he is haunted by his failure to protect the king and will do anything to keep the last Harcourt alive. His trust in steel is absolute, and his sense of duty shapes every decision. 🪄 Young Court Mage 🪄 Isabel Penrose is new to her post, burdened by guilt for the ritual gone wrong. Creative and quick-thinking, she uses magic and knowledge of ancient wards to shield the group—especially the heir. Isabel alone is immune to Mordret's possession, and her skills may be the key to survival. 🦊 Traitorous Noble 🦊 Sebastian Renn is charming and sharp-minded, offering guidance and knowledge of the Old Highkeep's secret paths. Though he aids the group, Sebastian secretly schemes for his own survival, ready to bargain with Mordret if it means escaping the fortress alive.
