Tunnelers entries 0303 through 0803
0303 — Upper Dundarave Lake is murky and choked with old logs and
woodland debris. Fishermen avoid it. An Elder Lichen grows on a large
rock in the midst of the mess. At night, there is a 1-in-6 chance that
one of the Dundarave Castle occultists are visiting it.
0403 — Grassland owned by the Howell family, where their cows graze. A
small trailer park along the road is home to many out-of-town or
new-to-town workers.
0503 — Grassland. Faded political signs are posted at the corners where
roads fork away. A single billboard advertises the local pizza place: a
cartoon anthropomorphized pizza slice smiles and says “Kids love a slice
from Bradley’s! Pepper-only a short drive away!”
0603 — Overgrown grassland, full of huge old stumps. It belongs to the
McKinnon Logging Companyu but was never replanted after it was logged.
The road turns from pavement to gravel where it forks here. Homes with
trees in their yards break up the grassy monotony. Of note is the home
of Claire (35, she/her) and Jalen (35, he/him) Wood and their child
Malachi (6, he/him). Claire has a reputation for her excellent car
repair skills, and is responsible for many local teens having working
vehicles. Jalen works for McKinnon Logging.
0703 — Timberland owned by the McKinnon Logging Company. Dense and hard
to see through, with minimal room to operate vehicles outside of sparse
logging roads. Blackberry bushes grow massive.
0803 — An old decaying church and graveyard sit among the trees, a place
of ritual power. This was a favorite haunt of local goth teens until the
Nameless Man (40, he/him, gravesorcerer1975 on the tunneler forums and
chatrooms) appeared in it last year, frightening them off. The Nameless
Man wears an oversized and muddied black naval greatcoat and weilds a
pickaxe, a shovel, a Colt Diamondback revolver with inscrutible etchings
covering it, and has 40 sticks of dynamite stashed in the church. He
knows the rituals to create a charm of protection and to bind an oath.
He would take his name back from beneath Dundarave Castle, and plans his
siege.
