Story/Arcs/Special/2019/Halloween

Notes to self

 * DON'T FORGET TO MAKE IT HALLOWEEN THEMED!
 * Throw some cobwebs and pumpkins in there!
 * Also try vines and wooden "bones"
 * Play with the lighting some.
 * PLAY WITH SOUNDS!

Premise

 * Simul (the denizen responsible for the connections made during dimensional folding) places various small rifts around the main area of Arxsec's Rift, leading to pocket areas that together seem sortof like a dungeon. The players seek out and enter these pocket dungeons alongside the other residents (those they've met and those they haven't).

What's that?

 * Players discover a strange-looking (portal? haze? shadow?)
 * Leads to pocket dungeon

Rift Hunt

 * Other residents discover them (kindof like an easter egg hunt)


 * Some pocket dungeons have clues or items to collect, leading to a final goal
 * Some more central pocket areas (not just dungeons)
 * Meeting areas (chat with other residents, cooperate on findings)
 * Some places seem empty or purposeless... until the right objective puts it into context
 * Some places seem important, but their purpose isn't clear (again, until the right objective is complete)
 * Some rifts/areas are connected (a few small networks or pairs of areas)
 * Some spots (within a rift) are hidden by shadow/illusion
