Secretly A Society Summons You IX
With the supplies you brought, the members of Buddy’s organization quickly begin rebuilding what looks like a small house, but is actually a shell for the entryway to the hall below. They even restore the door handle with the strange marking you remembered from the building’s previous incarnation.
Since your part in the restoration is completed, Buddy sends you home with the promise that he will visit you in three days with more information and to collect your membership dues.
“Don’t forget to have your dues ready and fully counted when I arrive, friend!”
Three days later, exactly to the minute, Buddy arrives at your farm carrying a large box. You invite him in, and he quickly follows you and takes a seat, still holding the box.
“Hullo, friend! I have all of your membership items here. I hope you enjoy them! We will have your induction ceremony tomorrow evening, assuming you have your dues ready for me now. If not, there may be some trouble, but I’m sure we won’t have to worry about that.”
Buddy places the box on the floor and invites you to verify its contents before going to get your dues. Inside the box, you find a green cloak, a blue coin purse filled with dice, a stack of cards, a journal, some horseshoes, an hourglass, and three pencils. Seeing these items together a possibility slips into place in your mind and you ask Buddy if his organization is a gaming group.
“Of course it is, silly! I figured you knew that from our emblem. The explosions the other night weren’t from our normal games though. We were trying to set up a game of ‘Keep Talking and Nothing Explodes’. Unfortunately, the explosive devices were a little too explosive in our testing. Next time, we’ll use much smaller and weaker explosives. Most of the time our games are much safer and mainstream, but Jenkins was in charge this time and he’s a bit…eccentric.”
This information sets your mind at ease, but now you’re curious about the secrecy of this group. You ask Buddy and he smiles and explains.
“The secrecy is just for fun, plus it’s part of our name. We’re the Secret Gaming Society of Redbrook! Well, you are too now! Ha! Speaking of which, do you have your dues?”
