The story so far...
In the previous section, Mason finally located Doug at the Fishery only to find that he had been "altered" somehow. This new form of Doug proceeded to regain control of Letschasethemouse in an attempt to convince the players to turn against Mason. It was at this point The Man forced three players to choose between Doug and Mason's save files. Ultimately, these three players all submitted the same answer - Doug. The answer was accepted, though it led to several days of conflict amongst the other players. The Gray Man attempted to quell this in-fighting while journeying to what appeared to be a cellphone tower for reasons unknown...
Meanwhile, Vincent fell asleep, allowing Patrem to regain control of his body. Using Within Hubris, Patrem proceeded to give the players a vague description of what's to come. He described a "Portal" that was created by someone named "Saint". This "Portal" was controlled by the "Grand Child", who is currently attempting to find the "Burned One" - one of the two outsiders who caused Patrem's entrapment. Worryingly, Patrem claims that this "Burned One" is actually one of the players. Patrem then departs, claiming he needs to attend a sacrificial ritual.
Fearing that Doug or Mason may be sacrificed, the players used the Ocarina to make an elaborate submission. Unfortunately, they misread the situation as neither Doug nor Mason were in danger. This misplaced submission resulted in Mason becoming trapped within a flooding storm drain. Hoping to find a way to rescue him, the players began exploring a newly updated YSHDT.com for answers. After many days of searching, Helper came to the players with some unfortunate news. Despite their best efforts, the players had missed something. Because of this, someone was now dead.
On April 22nd, 2015, Helper informed the players that someone had died.
