Plot: The Box
ANNOUNCEMENT
Beginning OCTOBER 31ST, the first official plot of Cape Kore will start. Mid-morning on the sixth day of the characters stay on the Cape, a box will appear by the fountain where everyone first showed up. Rather, it will fall from the sky ACME style.
PLOT INFORMATION
The box is massive, ten feet to a side in a perfect cube, and made of some type of dark stone, polished smooth. There are carvings on all of the visible outward faces, elegant and stylized carvings on one side of a large tree with a complex system of branches reaching up and an equally complex system of roots reaching down. At various points on the tree there are eight polished globes of varying materials set into the box itself, each with finger grooves to facilitate their removal. Though there are only eight stones, however, there are nine settings into which they might fit. On the opposite side of the box is what appears to be a star map, a series of depressions carved into the surface – depressions of the same size as the small globes set into the first side.
Those who manage to climb atop the box will find a series of labyrinthine grooves, starting from the centre and spreading out in an intricate, ever-deepening pattern which seems to terminate by dropping straight into the box itself. Any attempt to see down into this channel will yield only that – a hole drilled into the box at one corner, but apparently not far enough towards the centre of the box to provide a peek at its contents, assuming there are any.
The other two sides of the box were apparently intended to remain blank, but words in a host of languages and alphabets have been scratched into its surface, the relative age of the etchings varying greatly. Primarily represented is, oddly, Old Norse in an odd but decipherable form of runic. All of the sentiments are as one would expect from graffiti: names, sentiments both romantic and decidedly not, what appear to be slogans, some of them hinting at underground movements and future events.
Based simply on these facts one might assume the box to be a solid cube. The only hint as to the box containing anything at all are the sounds coming from within. Most of the time the box is silent, but those who put their ears to the stone and listen closely enough and for long enough may hear what sounds uncannily like screaming.
