 == Aim ==
-Defend Jordan against the shadow-creatures from the cupboard, with a cunning arrangement of mirrors
+Help decorate Solarium's dream castle
 == Details/Plan ==
-The Seer predicts that the things coming from the cupboard tonight will be shadow monsters - our normal weapons won't do much, but bright light should banish them.  Unfortunately, bright light could also wake Jordan up, so we need to be careful.
+Solarium thinks his castle playset needs a bit of a redesign, and I'm inclined to agree - where we disagree is on what that should look like.  He's all "it should be prettier" and "let's have some nice banners", but what if we make it into a proper fortress which could help us against the monsters? And then cover it in skulls because skulls are cool.
-I'm expecting Constructabot MK2 to assemble a series of mirrors, and Prince Solarium to do some workings of imagination to make the moon extra bright tonight.  My job is going to be sitting on the turret Constructabot made and aiming the light beam at the monsters, while avoiding dazzling Jordan.
+So I'm going to be helping with the decoration, but definitely adding extra skulls and heavy-duty-looking armour when Solarium isn't looking.
-If that fails and we need to get up close and personal, I have the glowstick Buzzy Beetle found in the attic last turn - it's not as bright, but it'll probably do some damage if I hit them with it.
+OC: I'm expecting a certain amount of shenanigans here, entirely happy for the castle to end up more like Solarium's vision than mine.
 == Relevant Items and Traits ==
-  * Glowstick (as a backup melee weapon)
+  * Packing material (to carve into skulls)
-  * Trait: Gadget mastery, to help with aiming the turret
+  * Fabric for banners (to cover over the skulls when Solarium comes to inspect things, and rip off for a dramatic reveal at the end)
-  * Bravery 5 - if push comes to shove, I'm going to be happy to get up close and personal with the monsters...
-  * Durability 1 - ...and nothing could possibly go wrong with that

+//GM Notes: This is presented as an example of an action the player expects to fail, but thinks will make a good story in the process.  This is mainly to illustrate that this is something you can do - it's not a style of play that suits every player, but if you think something might be an interesting problem for your character, or their plan is overly ambitious and it would be better for the character arc for it to fail, you can absolutely suggest this to the GMs.  We won't necessarily run with it, or we might take things in a different direction, but we appreciate the ideas and the steering towards what you want to see in the game.//

 We need something extra shiny to trade (and we're getting a few options, because we might be able to get more things from the crows this way) - I'm going up into the attic, because I've got a good track record of sneaking past the monsters up there.  The goal is the box marked "holiday decorations" - I'm aiming for a sparkly bauble, or a set of battery powered fairy lights, or really anything suitably pretty and shiny.
