A remarkable feat of science and dark magic, the Ritual of Deceit serves as the Game Master's meticulously crafted and perfected rendition of an ancient legend. Great evil stirs across somewhere beyond the infinite horizons of the Inbetween, feasting on the primal emotion of the tortured victims: fear, trust, anger… and most delicious of all… hope.
ACTIVATE BLOOD ALTERS TO DRAW FORTH THE INBETWEEN
The calm before the storm. Frantically collect souls for The Peddler to earn items for the group and eventually the escape key. Also use this time to uncover those working against you before the Inbetween arrives…
Drawn into the light of the Ritual, lost Souls hide amongst the ruins of the Ritual Site. This life-force powers the Ritual, stopping your escape. Locate and guide the Souls to the Peddler–a native of Inbetween, and your only ally–in order to weaken the Ritual enough to make your escape. The Peddler will reward your assistance for useful items.
Injured subjects are gripped within a Banishment spell, held at the mercy of their peers. A vote is called, and if a majority of the other subjects cast upon the victim, they’re banished from the ritual. Incorrectly banishing an Innocent subject will only serve to thin out the herd - cast your vote wisely.
The Infected seek to destroy the waning veil that separates our world from the Inbetween, empowering their dark gifts and transforming them into unstoppable Terrors. They must target the blood altars located throughout the ritual site - keep your eyes open for anyone being suspicious around them.
