Mansion in the Woods: 000
#6 of Mansion in the Woods
Arthur notes
In case you are wondering why we are back at the prolog, I, unfortunately, had to reboot the story due to my long time away from the project and I also wanted to update the rules a bit so that everyone's character is behaving like they should as I have had a few complaints about how they were either to prudish or not prudish enough. So to resolve this I have placed a character sheet in the rules which you can find linked in the folder, or linked below if this is FA. I've also given the option for the owners of OC's to void the vote and make the decision on their own. Granted CC's "canon characters" and my OCs will strictly make their decisions based on the vote. The vote ends every Friday. Note that if you had a character in the original game feel free to put them back in by filling out the character sheet. Other than that the same rules still apply as before, only one character per chapter, and suggest as many monsters as you want. I'm also allowing dues to play now since I have had this unshakable feeling ever since I started this project that I might be coming off as a bit sexist giving that the story was mostly about a bunch of young women being ravaged by monsters. To accommodate this I've changed the number of campers from twenty-five to forty-five.
That said I now have a Patreon so if you want to support projects like this feel free to contribute here https://www.patreon.com/TheStarWarrior
Other than that, let the literal cluster fuck begin :3

Mansion In The Woods: An Adult Choose Your Own Adventure
Prolog: Lost in the Woods
By: The Star Warrior
As the old cliché goes it was a dark and stormy night. A large group of campers had just gotten lost in the woods during a hiking trip and was starting to worry about the darkening sky. It hadn't started to rain just yet but the wind was blowing nice and hard and the thunder was cracking loudly overhead. They needed to find shelter fast.
Among the campers were two eighteen-year-old, hybrid twins, one male one female. A mix between a bovine and a raccoon the twins had light tan fur, gray makes, golden hair, emerald green eyes, long pointed ears, and a long thin tail with a blond brush tip. The male was slender and fit with long back length hair that her tide into a ponytail mid neck while his sister had a fit curvy body with C cup breasts and shoulder length hair that she kept tied in a ponytail near the dome of her head.
"Dusty, I told you we shouldn't have gone off the trail but no you wanted to explore," said the male.
Dusty turned back at him and gave him a playful smirk, "Come on Glitch it's more fun this way." The other campers glared at her to show that they didn't share the same enthusiasm.
"I wouldn't call freezing our butts off fun," said a slender pink bunny girl with brown hair and amber eyes.
"Let her have her fun, Sara," said a green parrot girl, "It's not like we won't find our way back eventually."
"I'm still freezing my fluffy but off, Palla!" said the Bunny as she shivered.
Just then a young red-haired mouse girl walked up next to Dusty, "So how are you holding up Glitch?" she said playfully, "It's not every day you find yourself alone in the woods with a large group of women."
Dusty let out a playful gasp, "Oh my you're right Emily. I do hope he doesn't try to take advantage of us and add us to his privet herm."
The two girl's giggled playfully leaving Glitch to groan and blush. The young hybrid wasn't quite sure how he ended up in a group that was mostly made up of girl. Maybe it was because all of his friends were female. He wasn't very good at making friends so he mostly just inherited his sister's friends. Maybe it was another one of his sister's sick pranks. She did set up this camping trip after all so it wouldn't surprise him if she somehow found a way to get him into an all-girls camp. However, this happened he was stuck with them now and had to make the best of it. Thankfully there were a few tomboy's in the group so he wasn't completely overwhelmed by girly talk but he still couldn't shake the feeling of being the one sausage in a taco shack, or the lone tuna in a sea full of sharks giving how some of the girls were looking at him.
Suddenly one of the girls stopped, a black Renamon named Kitarl and pointed towards a clearing. "Hey, there's a house over their!" The group stopped and rushed over to the building. By now raindrops were starting to fall and the group was quite eager to find shelter.
In the middle of the clearing was a large, three-story, and very strangely located mansion. It was surrounded by a very large stone wall, the only way Kitarl or the other girls were able to see it was thanks to the also very huge iron gate. It looked pleasant enough and well kept. From what they could see the house had several wings to it, in fact, it looked more like a dorm room for rich university students than a house. The courtyard was massive with a fountain in the middle of the walkway leading up to the building and several statues of young lovers dancing and cuddling near the rose gardens. The gardens appeared to lead to a maze made up of well-trimmed hedges and had several lovely red flowers dotting the greenery.
A golden dragon by the name of Drognes was the first to speak up. "So does anyone have any ideas on what a large fancy mansion is doing in the middle of nowhere?"
"Maybe it's a ghost house," said a black gothic sheep named Morgana, "I've read stories about haunted or cursed houses that randomly appear to lost and dispirit travelers. It lures them inside with it's warm and welcoming walls and then never lets them leave."
A red hair chipmunk girl named Chipmunk roiled her eyes at the sheep and made her way up to the gate. "Don't be ridicules," she said walking up to the gate, "Regardless of how it got here, we need the shelter."
Drognes glanced over at Sally, "Are you sure they will just let a group of forty-something girls just barge inside and crash for the night?"
"What choice do we have," said Sally looking for a doorbell. She eventually found an intercom on the wall and turned it on. "Hello, is anybody there," she asked. There was no reply.
A strong red hair mare named Sierra pushed passed her and pushed the com, "Hey!" she said loudly, "If you can hear us we are cold, lost, and tired! Let us in!"
Sally crossed her arms, "Must you be so aggressive? You're going to scare them away."
(Sierra's negative relationship role for Sally. Role 97 no change.)
(Sally's negative relationship role for Sierra. Role 81 no change.)
Sierra resisted the urge to scorn Sally so instead she just roiled her eye. Sierra was ex-military so she wasn't the most diplomatic person around. Turning to the gate the brown mare noticed something. After giving it a light push the large gate swung open. "Huh," she said with a confused look on her face, "It's unlocked."
(Gwen's shy role. Shy -10. Role 57 Gwen speaks up.)
As Sierra started to walk in a young snow owl named Gwen timidly spoke up. "Uh...sorry, but...should we really be intruding? We haven't heard back from the owner yet."
Dragones glanced over at the other two girls, "She makes a good point," maybe we should try calling again."
Suddenly there was a loud thunder crack followed by a huge downpour or rain. "Tally hoe!" Shouted Dusty as the blood darted past the girls and ran towards the house. The only quickly followed behind her while trying to shield themselves from the rain.

Once inside they were greeted by a warmly lit foyer. To their left was the living room and to their right was the dining room. As they explored the house they found it was in fact very much like a college dorm. The upstairs was littered with different types of rooms, mostly bedrooms and bathroom with the occasional game room. At the end of each upstairs wing were two master bedrooms each with their own bathroom. However as they tried to explore further into the house they found several locked doors, namely to the doors leading to the second floor and the basement. They were quite coursed as to where the other doors lead, even more so where the owner was. As they continued to explore every single one of the campers couldn't shake the feeling that something was watching them.
(A monster is now active!)

End Notes
There are currently seventeen campers so there is still plenty of room. Remember just one camper per chapter while you can add in as many monsters as you want. Owners of OC can choose where their character can go at the start of the story but if you can't decide you can leave it up to a vote. Ties will be determined by a dice roll.
