#1 Awakening on the Express

Party: We Like Trains — My Arm, Claus, Djeera, Tsundoku, Luther

Five travelers found themselves waking up in the Ghostlight Express — a train taking them to the afterlife, their last visage of death still haunting their memories. As they wake and explore the Passenger Car they meet each other.

• The Ghostlight Express moves through a greenish Shroud visible from the windows.
• Some characters see lights or moving shadows moving through the Shroud outside.
• The Passenger Car is filled with ghostly passengers lingering on their seats — identified by Claus as Geists.
• Claus finds a book called Geists and how to Catch them.
• The window is broken by a mysterious force and the Phantom Trainhopper appears.
• The Phantom Trainhopper turns 2 Geists into Specters.
• The group engages in battle against them.
• Claus gives the book Geists and how to Catch them to Djeera.
• During the fight Luther gets severely weakened in Strength, almost collapsing.
• My Arm dies during the fight from a critical hit as his life is drained from him.
• The party defeats the Phantom Trainhopper; the Specters disappear with him.
• All that remains of My Arm is their 100 weightless wedges of cheese.
• Luther eats one of the wedges and returns to full Strength. Different party members take different amounts of the wedges.
• The party meets The Vagrant in the Dining Car. When asked where the train is heading, the answer is: "The Afterlife."
• Tsundoku accidentally scares The Vagrant.
• The party discovers some Geists are much more approachable, like The Daydreamer.
• In the Lounge Car the party meets the Druskenvalds, who share a great deal of information. The Druskenvalds travel between the mortal realms and their own realm of Druskenvald often. Some souls on the train are used to fuel the train itself.
• Adela Druskenvald gives a tarot reading to each remaining party member.
• The characters retire to the Sleeper Car.
