Beware the House of Lady Sinclair, thus warns the villagers of the sinister manor that sits in isolation deep within the Trammel Forest. Long has the Village of Hackamore lived in the shadow of it's unsettling reputation, whispering hushed tales and rumors of those whom had dared enter its grounds never to be heard from again...
By ill fortune or fate, each of you have dared to travel deep into the forest this night only to have been caught in a terrible storm. Stranded, the glow of lights in the distance promise refuge which you sorely need and in following its beacon find yourself at a grand and decaying manor. The heavy iron gates swing open as you approach, and after the long walk to the entrance you reach the manor's enormous oak door. Before your knocking hand can strike the wood, the Manor opens itself to you.
"Greetings, travellers," speaks the butler standing in the entrance hall, "The Mistress knows your troubles and bids you welcome into her home. Please accept our hospitality and try to enjoy your stay... at least until the storm has passed."

"Escape the Tempest" is a mystery, horror role play with a slice of romance. Characters can be either a servant in the employ of the beguiling Lady Sinclair; or a guest that had been caught in the storm. During your characters stay at the mansion, together they will face mortal danger and temptation as you try to unravel the secrets that loom just beneath the surface.
WARNING! Mortal danger beyond this point! There is, however hope and it comes in the form of a riddle.
Roses Snare and Lily's Vice
Morning Pool Frozen in Ice
At my lady's hand she will entice
No Drink or Wine will e'er Suffice
For slowly blooming oft unheard
A thing of beauty more absurd
than any fragile rare young bird
a greater power within be stirred
But should blind stone be yet unswayed
A Statue as the Roses Fade
Forever my lady's Masquerade
Shall Dance and Laugh at all Betrayed
