Are cult members and sacrifice their own family for the glory of Satan. Some people who ventured there sometimes get possessed...

Hidden doors and slightly hidden ritual sigils are strewn around randomly, silently marking the demon's territory as trapped souls became food for the one they summoned. Sometimes you can hear them screaming for help...

The reason they did this? Nobody know....It could be power, knowledge, curiosity...or both.

In this world,you are summoned....

The dice rolls as you bring about the biblical apocalypse or to fulfill some fools wishes.

The realities is your stage to play with and the humans are your puppets.

The earth is your farm, the humans are your livestock

You are the mastermind,the farmer

you are the demon.

>>1653476

Have you ever thought of that voice inside your head is not yours?

Have you ever have an urge to kill yourself,just because your head told you to?

Is the tune in your ear a gust of wind or is it a whisper?

This is you...the whisperer. A demon quietly slipped into the earth through a summoning attempt or a curse, whispering sweet words into the victim's subconscious. This ability is what people call suggestion, words that are triggered in the subconscious level. Though weak compared to others, it is deadly when used correctly.

As a demon, it is your goal to let your victims sacrifice themselves to summon more of your brethren while eating their damned souls. You are free to explore the house, unlike some of your brethren, and easily enter any room.

True to your nature, you are the master of intrigue. Able to poke and prod the minds of humans while luring them to your web of lies and deceits.

It has been a long time since a human came to your 'home', the former family member who summoned you is still here...accompanying you with their tortured scream and delicious sustenance.

But then it happened....a change in the wind...a voice in a distance...a new victim to play with

(rolling the family difficulty, 3 is challenging)

>>1654505
(well now...Good luck)

A family of 4

"And here we are", the father steps out of the car. Blond hair and in his early fifties," Thank the Lord that our journey is safe"

"Amen", The family replied.

A christian family. Difficult yet rewarding.

"Come Thomas, let's get Buddy a breather", The brunette woman rub her husband's back.

"Alright Anna... C'me 'ere Boy!" Thomas tap his knees and a golden furred dog came out excited...then it turned to you, staring.

Great...dogs are attuned to the supernatural. Very difficult indeed.

"Mark,Tony. Go check out your room!", Two boys groggily came out of the car. The journey was tiring but their patience is rewarded...for the small boy.

"Oh Boy!", Tony jumped in excitement." I want that windowed bedroom!" He pointed at you...or the room you are in.

"No way squirt! That room is mine!", Mark huffs. A teenager and a curious one. That is a good your starting point in this 'perfect family'.

The Smith Family:

Thomas Smith(father)
Anna Smith (mother)
Mark Smith (first son)
Tony Smith (second son)
Buddy (dog)

Suspicion Meter:0% (suspicion meter gauged on how the family knows there is something strange in this house.)

"WOW! LOOK AT THIS OLD BUILDING!", Tony look excited," BRRR! COLD TOO!"

"Tony...calm down and why not check the room? Mark, help your father"

"Kay mom", the younger get inside

"Sigh", the elder went out

The mother is still here

>Stalk the younger son

>Stay here (Mother)
>Write in (you could always use your ability)

>>1654581

>>1654581
>>1654640

You decide to follow the younger boy exploring the house.

You can feel his childish curiosity as he look around each room and stomping the floor, making a creaked sound.

Slowly, he approached the basement...and he became hesitant.

There is a secret door here, used by the cultist to plan and sacrifice. A treasure of malignant aura and bloody ritual.

You could tug him in or...wait.

>Tug him into the basement? (sustenance:3)

>Pass (dc:3)

Swallowing his fear, he shrug as his mind is overcome with curiosity.

The basement is dusty, making him sneeze but that does not deterred him from exploring. Cobwebs and old items are stored here, creating an interesting treasure hunt in the child's mind.

he carefully navigate himself toward the deeper end of the basement, where the secret door is.

(perception check pass)

In the walls, there is a strange gap. Strange enough for him to lightly tapped it. It made a thud sound.

With his over-curious mind, he gently opened it with all his might.

The door opened and so has the secret of the past.

[Ritual Room:unlocked]

The musty smell seeps out and Tony almost gagged. Strange reddish paint splattered on the floor and on the wooden table. The chair was old and luxurious enough to know that the owner was a rich man. Star shaped drawings and other alien symbols plastered on the wall.

And there is a knife in the middle. A snake shaped knife stabbing the table. A yellow glint on it's handle, alluring the boy's eyes.

>Tug him out of the basement (sustenance:3)
>what is in this little mind of his? (sus:3)
>observe
>Write in

>>1655164
Observe

>>1655164
>>1655188

And so you watch the event unfolds.

Tony, in all his childish curiosity, approach the beckoning knife. The blade itself was glint in amusement as the child examined it.

A single touch is all it takes as Tony touched the blade. The skin break and delicious aqua vitae dropped into the blade. The blade greedily suckled it and black smoke ooze out, gentle entering the wounded finger.

>[infected: 1%]

Tony himself was in panic. The expensive looking blade is now dirty and his parents are going to scold him. You suckle is fear, a delicious nectar of emotions.

>Gain sustenance: 2

Like any other kids, he quickly close the ritual room and went out of the basement.


>Mid day

Tony kept hiding his wound as the family take a break for lunch. The family conversation is mundane and the family quickly resume their activities.

Thomas still unpacking thing from his car
Anna and tony is in the living room
Mark and buddy is on the first floor bedroom.

>Who do you want to observe?

>>1655310
>Thomas

>>1655360
Sure

>>1655310
>>1655360
>>1655361
Now it's Thomas turn to be watched.

You hover to the front lawn, dead and deserted. There Thomas is happily lifting boxes out of his car,humming as he does his work.

Suddenly he turned at you...before shrugging.

"huh...must been my imagination"

He really have some strong sense in supernatural.

"For such a haunted house, it sure is peaceful here", he talk to himself," I know for sure Jesus will protect me". He smile to himself as he kiss his cross necklace.

He is a dangerous human....a pious one too...

>What will you do?

>write in

>>1655403
>>Check on other people
We'll check on Mark and Buddy, as Thomas is going to be hard to best

>>1655403
>>1655440

Deciding that Tomas is a danger, you quickly check on the other boy.

There he was, already on his hastily made bed. It seems the elder is on his teen phase, wearing some unknown rocker band shirt, jeans and some silvery shaped necklace.

Buddy is sleeping near him as he play with a strange black box...a phone they called it.

Then suddenly, Buddy bark into action...

He went down from the bed and start sniffing in your general direction

"What's wrong Buddy? is it a rat?"

Then he bark at you...an annoying guardian pest.

"Damn it Dog...what is wrong with you", It seems Mark is getting annoyed.

>Mark's resistance
>Sustencance: 2

Invincible hands reached his mind, tugging that small sting of direction

-This house is possessed

>>1656810
>Failed.

"Huh...", Mark felt something on his mind. like a small itch but he dismissed it," Come boy, let's get you some chow".

He left the room.

>Night time

"Alright, we just need to unpack the boxes and we are settled here", Thomas chew his carrot.

"Aww", The elder complained," Cant we just do it tomorrow?"

"You must be tired too, Tom", the mother rub her husband's thigh," Let's get some rest first"

Tony secretly pass his unwanted food to Buddy.

with two against one, Thomas relent and the family cheers. How lovely.

The family went to their separated bedroom, with Buddy going with Tony.

-Go to the par-[error,a holy symbol detected]. Parent bedroom locked.

(Oh yeah... you feed on any negative emotion though. Fear, ANger, SAdness...etc.)

You let the family sleep.

As the clock reaches midnight, a violent power attract you. The sweet smell of evil attract you in like flies to a burning lamp and dragged your immaterial body into the ritual room. The ritual dagger, in all its might and glory.

It want MOre BloOD and so it graciously lend you its pOwer. You felt...stronger and power swells in your throat.

>Any note to add?

I propose a potential method of getting some leeway over Thomas. When he inevitably senses us, we could lie and say that we are either the archangel Gabriel or just a generic cherubim, here to warn him that his wife has committed adultery; she has slept with other men. She will deny it, but all sinners lie. Go with God's guidance, and bring judgement by your own hand to prove that you are worthy.

>>1658009
That is a solid long term plan.

You will need to evolved further to bypass/improve your ability to make it easier.


remind me of this campaign:
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/1111204/
The mechanic in this run was still developed

>>1658029
Thank you. I propose a new ability: the chance to directly communicate with someone in their dreams, perhaps with a vision. This will make it a lot easier to put thoughts in people's heads.

>>1658811
Alright then but due to its strong utility use ill give it Sustenance: 9

>Dream Talker: directly communicate with someone in their dreams, perhaps with a vision. Only work when they are sleeping. [sustenance needed:9]
