The Daughters of House Bellegarde

The Daughters of House Bellegarde is a play-by-post game about the House Bellegarde, ran by Will (danvers).   It’s the night of the Bellegarde Family Decennial Celebration of Bells and Guards. The parents, Tatiana, and Sabine are downstairs at the party, but the other kids are too young. Tatiana had caught Sylviane looking at one of her new spell scrolls earlier and yelled at her, and Sylviane ran off. There's still no sign of her when guests start arriving.   Circe catches a glimpse of Sylviane in the Living Garden from the nursery window. Circe Bellegarde, Leliana Bellegarde, Jacqueline Bellegarde, and Ruthana Bellegarde sneak out of the nursery and out to the False Garden via the servants’ stairs. The gate to the Living Garden is open, so they go in and find Sylviane’s footprints and hair ribbon in a planter box.   Jacqui steps into the planter box to investigate and finds a trapdoor, and the mushrooms start screaming. The kids pick the mushrooms to make them stop screaming and duck into the trapdoor before anyone sees them. The trapdoor leads to catacombs, where Archibald the ghost butler finds them. He mentions he saw Sylviane leave through the trapdoor earlier and use Sleep on the screaming mushrooms.   The kids go back into the garden and find Sylviane’s footprints leading to the forest. They find Sylviane in a tree, cornered by three dire wolves, which they fight until the wolves back off. Ruthana gets Sylviane out of the tree while the others fight the wolves until they back off and run away. Everyone runs back home, Leliana carrying Sylviane.   Note: You can read the whole game in the Sidequest Archives in the Discord Server, under #pbp-bellegarde!
