Mission 1, Scene 2: The Long Climb
After you gather your wits (and inventory your lost possessions), you take note of the fact that the mist has intensified to the point where visibility is down to a few meters. Those who want to claim spears from the edeinos do so, and then the task of finding a building begins.
Attempts at using location services on cell phones fail. Picking a direction and moving straight almost leads to disaster, but fortunately, something ahead of you falls into the river, allowing you to change direction in the nick of time. After what seems like hours, a building appears at the edge of your vision. The sign on the outside, though heavily damaged, can be made out to read "Hotel Americana." The outside is worn and decaying, and extends up beyond the range of your reduced vision.
A hole in the side indicates the former location of the front door. The mist no longer affects your vision after entering. The inside is worse than the outside. Most of the furnishings have collapsed or disintegrated, and the rest are ready to follow suit.
The elevator has no power, so it's time for the stairs. There is no subway entrance, but the building appears to extend dozens of stories up. There are three places where the stairs are either missing or too brittle to use. To represent the efforts, I will need a Strength test from each character. The Difficulty Number is 14. Destiny Cards and Possibilities may be used. On a failure, you will suffer 2 Shock that will remain until after you enter the Ukhaan Tower. On a Mishap (i.e., a natural 1 on the die), that will increase to 4 Shock.
