When two Gods wait on the windowsill,
The wick of the world is burning, still;
But when one God in Triumph shouts
The candle of the world goes out.

- The Quartet For The Dusk Of Man,
Tycho Ephemerous Brahe

Penny Arcade‘s On The Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness follows Tycho Ephemerous Brahe, a book-wielding, shotgun-firing, smarty-pants and Jonathan Gabriel, a fist-wielding…well, he punches a lot of stuff (that’s mostly his only job). As the two-man team that is The Startling Developments Detective Agency, they work to save the world of New Arcadia from all manner of mysterious threats.

After some…”turbulence” we’ll say, Penny Arcade and the development studio for the first two games, HotHead Games, stopped production of Penny Arcade’s On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness after episode 2. I seem to remember there being a planned 6 or 7 episodes and the world felt great sadness after PA announced the series would stop after Episode 2.

Episodes 1 and 2 were great fun set in a unique universe, and instead of abandoning such an interesting world prematurely, Jerry decided to continue the story in prose form, publishing chapters of Episode 3 as not to leave us hanging. I was sure it would continue in this way, and though it was upsetting not to play it out myself, I could still follow my favorite characters to the end of their story.

Then, on or around April 1st, the website RainSlickGame.com debuted. The screenshots were in a style unlike the past games and immediately the old-school looking Rain Slick 3 seemed like a cruel and elaborate April Fool’s joke. After a bit of digging (and really after seeing how intricate and fleshed out the site was), it was immediately clear that this was for real.

Set to debut during the Summer of this year, Penny Arcade’s On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness Episode 3 will be released on the Xbox Live Indie Game Channel, Steam, Mac, iOS & Android. Episode 4 will be the last installment of the series and the current release date is sometime in 2013.

The Mercedes-Benz Hydrogen F-Cell B-Series is a 0.0 emissions vehicle, making it “emissions invisible”. To promote this idea of being “invisible to the environment”, Mercedes made an actual car invisible.

By covering the car in LEDs on one side and mounting a camera on the other, the effect is one of complete invisibility. The cleverness of it all is worth the minute-and-a-half of your time it will cost you.

While the science behind the inner-workings is quite…sciency, the car runs on “polymer electrolyte membrane” fuel cells, a hydrogen battery of sorts. This means no internal combustion which means no environment-choking emissions. Regular models of the car don’t come with the invisibility option but I’m sure now that they’ve got the whole zero emissions thing down, active personal cloaking devices are next on the list.

Season of the Witch is a standalone “Print on Demand” expansion for Mansions of Madness. The scenario comes complete with all of the objects, obstacles, lock cards and keeper actions required to play it, as well as the prologue and map setup. Though the expansion doesn’t introduce and new game mechanics, there are a few brand new lock and object cards, but we’ll get to those later.

As the Keeper (played in this week’s episode by my father) was seeding the cards, the rest of us chose our characters. There were four players total, leaving me to play two investigators (a four Investigator game seems to be a bit more balanced than three). Having recently bought Forbidden Alchemy I was keen on using the new guys so I went with Dexter Drake the Magician and Carolyn Fern the Psychologist. The other players went with their favorites, Ashcan Pete the Drifter and Gloria Goldberg the Author (honestly, I’m not sure where our group would be without that antiquated typewriter and Ashcan’s trusty sidekick Duke).

After everyone settled in (the card seeding can be so tedious) the Keeper reads us the story so far. We’re all big fans of the flavor elements of Mansions of Madness compared to Arkham Horror so everyone shuts up and leans in. The Keeper tells us all about Nola and how, after moving into the low-rent “Witch House” she began trying to bend time and space, believing the Witch House was the key. Our investigators all know it’s a bunch of bull, but we gladly enter the house at the behest of the nervous student, assuring him his fears are misplaced, that there’s nothing to worry about. We’re sure Nola is just fine.

All’s quiet throughout the house as the investigators spread out to explore. Gloria stays with Dexter going toward the bathroom, providing moral support in the way of skill points, while Ashcan travels deeper into the house. Carolyn makes her way to the work shed outside and, after picking a simple lock, has one more Knife than she started with. Dexter and Gloria make their way around the corner and come across Nola’s Journal, as well as a helpful Sedative in the bathroom cabinet. Meanwhile, Ashcan has just come across a Spectral Guard, one that tells him a password will be required to pass. Dexter and Gloria make their way back to Ashcan as Carolyn joins back up after her short but spooky detour in the shed. As Dexter thumbs through the journal, he begins to realize something may actually be happening. While he didn’t believe a word of it before, Nola’s writings are rather convincing. With the addition of a spirit guarding a room in the house, he begins to get that bad feeling in the pit of his stomach.

Finding the correct passage in Nola’s Journal, Dexter dispels the Spectral Guard, the only thing between him and the unearthly Alien Statue. As he picks it up, his consciousness slips from his body and travels to some other part of the Witch House. It’s here that he sees what must be a portal to another world, something he had read about briefly in the journal. Upon returning to his own body, he’s left holding the statue. It looks like any other carved lump of stone, but tingles him to his soul, a power unlike any other coursing through him.

Upon recounting his short out of body experience, they all realize the portal must be in the attic, the only place left to explore. Carolyn and Ashcan go in first and what they find causes them to reconsider everything they thought they knew about reality. A Shoggoth, formless, protoplasmic servant of the Great Old Ones, is waiting for them. There’s nothing left to do but open fire, Ashcan, with his new found shotgun and Carolyn with her trusty Walther Model 9. Though the mass of tar and eyes and tentacles almost fills the room entirely, Carolyn and Ashcan can barely get a few shots in before the abomination charges them. Gloria and Dexter hear the commotion: the gunfire and more importantly the inhuman screams of their companions and make their way up the stairs.

As Carolyn and Ashcan fire wildly, the abomination is unflinching in its advance. After only taking a couple of rounds, barely injured, the monster begins to engulf Ashcan. Thinking quickly, Ashcan shoves the shotgun as far into the mass as he can, smiles maniacally and pulls the trigger. This proves enough, though barely, and the monster is finally bested. Thick, acidic Ichor sprays in every direction, covering them both. A brief reprieve eases them slightly as they clean up, though they have no idea what lies in store beyond the portal.

Everyone regroups in the attic and Dexter again has his nose in the journal. The journal begins to glow a blinding, stinging green and all at once, the attic falls from under them. The team find themselves in another place, another realm entirely. Upon being ripped through the portal, Dexter’s consciousness escapes once again. He sees Nola lying on a stone slab surrounded by chanting, robed figures. A bleeding, Black Book sits atop a desecrated Altar. Everyone readies their wills and their weapons as the faint sounds of chanting echoes towards them.

There are three doors that lead from this otherworldly room, and again they split up. Despite what they’ve all just seen, they know that Nola doesn’t have much time. Carolyn decides to take the door to the right, up into the tower, Dexter and Gloria the door to the left. Ashcan, poor, bleeding Ashcan, bravely makes his way toward the chanting.

Though they proceed with caution, Dexter and Gloria are faced with no opposition. Through three doors they’ve gone, and three empty rooms they’ve found. Dexter’s feeling goes from bad to worse. As he passes through another door, an impossible silence wells up around him. He can barely hear Gloria’s screams over the sounds of infernal alien flutes. One moment he’s there, wherever there might actually be, and the next he simply isn’t. His existence is erased entirely, Dexter Drake the Magician is suddenly no more. At the same moment, in the realm of Earthly beings, Michael McGlen the Gangster seeks solace in the old Witch House, on the run from an angry mob after a job gone wrong. Panting through the porch door, solace is not something he’ll find on this night.

Carolyn, immediately upon entering the tower hallway is attacked by a mass of smoke that pours from the corner. It takes two rounds from her Walther to realize that it’s another monster, and screaming, she barely slips past into the next room. She searches for anything she can to fight off the beast, and tries to ease the loss of her mind but she finds Nothing of Interest. Peeking back outside she sees the thing still stalking, and she thinks of Nola. In a rage she charges, firing round after round, landing less than half of her shots. It proves enough, but upon death, the hound lets loose a shriek that sends fire through her senses and slowly blackens her vision. Through the coming darkness she can see the mangled body of the creature, but even staring up at the flickering light proves worthless. Carolyn has lost her sight.

Mustering what willpower she has left, Gloria begins to collect Dexter’s things. She unsheathes the Swordcane and gives it a whip to the left and right. Barely given enough time to mourn the loss of someone she can’t quite remember, a tar-like substance begins to ooze through the crevices around the door. Fleeing yet another Shoggoth, she is unaware that only more horror lies ahead.

Entering the portal room, she meets with Michael McGlen, having just been sucked through the attic portal. Carolyn comes stumbling back through from the Hallway and before any of them can utter a word, they all turn toward the sound of barking, shouting and shotgun fire. Throwing caution to the wind, they rush to the aid of Ashcan, only to find yet another of the formless, tar-like monsters guarding the door to where they’re sure Nola is being kept.

As the clock inches closer to midnight on this Walpurgis Eve, the sound of chanting engulfs them all. The dull roar of monsters and gunfire is nothing compared to the demonic sounds all around them. More…things flood from the door: a zombie and a hooded figure join the Shoggoth in the hallway. Ashcan and Michael look at each other and with a glance, they both know what must be done. They charge wildly past the growing horde, and manage to slip through the door to the Ceremony Room taking minimal damage from the creatures. Shoulder to shoulder, robed figures surround Nola, chanting as she begins to writhe and silently scream. All at once the figures turn toward Ashcan and Michael but through the crowd they catch a glimpse of Keziah Mason, the original owner of The Witch House. Keziah glides through the crowd, floating above ground, her eyes fixed on our brave, near-insane heroes. She begins to cackle.

The sound of their guns is lost among the chanting crowd. The door they came through bursts open as the Witch wills every monster to her. By some ungodly power, even more things squeezed into that tiny cave room, every one with hate for our investigators. Still fixed on the most important target, only a few bullets graze Keziah’s body and she barely flinches. Her once calm, collected face is now twisted with anger. As the sea of people begin to engulf them both, death only seconds away, Ashcan raises his shotgun for the last time.

Eyes tightly shut, he fires. The shot rings true and by luck alone, it lands squarely in the Witch’s chest. As her heart explodes, all sounds abruptly leave the room. The Witch’s corpse crumbles to the ground and the creatures and hooded figures seem to slide backwards into nothingness, leaving only the heartless body of Keziah behind. Gloria rushes in to Nola’s aid as she awakens from her terrible sleep, confused but otherwise unhurt. By the skin of their teeth, they’ve done it. Though the memory of Dexter Drake is lost forever, they’ve survived the Season of the Witch.

Season of the Witch is an expansion for Mansions of Madness, a cooperative board game for 2-5 players. You can find it on the Fantasy Flight Games website as well as on Amazon.
