Night 008
The night falls heavily on the house, the dim, not-quite-light changing to an oppressive darkness. There are still not lights to be found in the house that the guests do not make themselves, and the loud hammering has begun again. It's raining outside, adding to the gloomy atmosphere. There are no locked doors tonight, nor are there the conventional monsters. That is not, however, to say there are no monsters. Peculiar beings, shaped like many animals and humans but not entirely there, like shadows but glowing, lurk, hoping to drag characters off into portals of darkness in the ground. It is possible to fight them off, although they like appearing in clumps. If a guest is dragged into the darkness, they end up locked in a cell in the panopticon, where they will be fed once a day by the very same creatures.
