A Letter From Skelly Manor

A very formal looking envelope arrives at your door. It is made of thick, hand-folded parchment and sealed with wax. As you carefully open the envelope, you notice the wax seal is emblazoned with an ornate pumpkin motif.

Dear Sir or Madam,

It is the formal request of Lord Jaxon Skelly and Master Ian Asmodeus that you attend at Skelly Manor as early as is convenient. Your assistance is requested and appreciated for a complicated matter of some privacy and delicacy. Sturdy, waterproof footwear is suggested.

Yours Faithfully,
Lord Jaxon Skelly


You make plans to visit Skelly Manor as soon as possible.

Note: This is a narrative-heavy plot, and relies on knowledge from the previous Morostide Plot. Click here for a recap!

@jensen Yeah, that's sketchy af. I still don't believe you can kill someone's soul, but the reasoning's gross af.

@Cryptoid
it just started yesterday. you might not get the first achievement (i think? i don't know if it's timed?) but you can totally catch up! Topic: TLDR's Morostide Plot Guide [Spoilers]

@Valiska
according to the offsite wiki recap (http://subeta.wikia.com/wiki/Peril_at_the_Patch), ian specifically said you had to "destroy other spirits" to bring back jaxon last time, and he was alright with that because "some spirits are worth more to the world, and to me." which is... sketchy, lol

So I missed the first few days because I was deathly ill. Does this mean I won't be able to finish the plot this year?

I'd love to know how they got together, like was it love at first sight or was one sooo misunderstood that they needed a hug and it then got private.... *ok I soooo could not write any of that with a straight face* *lol* I just love my mind sometimes ;)

@13th Maiden -- That was before I joined; what do you mean? I don't personally believe you can murder a soul, and that if ghosts do exist IRL (which my personal experiences lead me to believe may be true) you can send them back to wherever souls come from, but the soul itself is not destroyed. Mostly because I don't think you can destroy something in the material world that isn't actually a permanent part of the material world. Did they say we were actually destroying souls, or just taking the energy binding them to the material world?
0

13thMaiden

Yeah no thanks, I hated the first plot, unless Ian is coming out to apologize for tricking us into murdering all those innocent souls for 'twue wuve!', I have no time for these two and their storyline. Yes this is an unpopular opinion but it's mine so neh, to all the shippers, all the power to you, have fun with the plot. I'm gonna help Ester and Emma decorate their house, they're nicer anyways. XP

@JackyMedan I don't remember the exact year, but it was only a few years ago (maybe 3?). So it was probably during your hiatus.

JackyMedan

Does anyone remember when the previous plot actually was? Because I definitely wasn't there, but now I'm wondering if it was more than 8 years ago before I joined the site in general, or if it was between 2014 and 2016 during my hiatus (real life was getting in the way, still sad I missed peekaboo judging from the rad items).. from other comments I'm seeing it sounds like it was quite long ago, so probably before I joined?

And Jaxon and Ian are my favourite characters. And the setting, the art and the dialogue are just OMDGJFHDFJGGHFHFJSJJG! :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :sob: :sob: :sob:

@littlebriarrose - Friend of mine who has never battled at all managed to beat it in two turns, so you should be fine. Just obviously give your pets weapons to attack with, but they're easy to get if you don't have them already.

This challenger is very easy with low stats. Most low level pets should be able to defeat it.

@Marlboro you apparently missed the dialogue? Or you missed the rather tiny square above all the boxen in the second room of the basement? If you missed that dialogue I dunno if there's a way back to that.

In any case your next step is to find the entrance to the woods on the Shadowglen map, or to go back to Skelly Manor via the link at the bottom to see if you can get back to the basement. Try them both. The entrance to the woods is not really visible on my monitor/color choice/brightness, but it's in the lower leftiness of what looks forest-y but to the right of the patch and above the Element Mage.

@quo I noticed that if you just tap the gauge on mobile there’s a delay until it stops, but if you tap and hold, then release when it’s over the green, it gets rid of the lag. That’s what worked for me at least (using chrome on an iphone)

Ashei

Not to double-post, but:
I managed to do the gauge puzzle on mobile! iPhone 6s, iOS 11. The second and third gauges were finicky on whether they’d actually be clickable or not, however. I had to restart a few times to get it functional.

It took a few tries because I had to tap the gauge early to stop it- tapping as soon as it passed over the green stopped it too late, but tapping just before it hits the green gets it to stop on the green. idk if that’s a mobile thing or just part of the game, though, haha.

@Hamilton @Amber (just letting you know about this)
