Hunter's Keep in darkness is a Sunless Sea Story Event.

Trigger conditions

Hunter's Keep in darkness is triggered when you dock in Hunter's Keep and have the following:

Acquaintance: Sojourning with the Sisters ≥ 20 and ≤ 24

Story description

A hump of dark rock swathed in mist, like a hundred other Unterzee islands. A grand house rises on the rock: a silhouette empty of lights. The uncut grass on the lawns bends, rises, bends again in the breeze.

You smell damp stone and, faintly, blood.

Interactions

Once you have done the action, you will enable two new interactions: The Thing in the Kitchen and The Silent House.

If you want to save The Scarred Sister, it is recommended to have high Mirrors and Veils stats for this storylet, avoid The Thing in the Kitchen event and go for the The Silent House event.

Actions	Requirements	Effects
Go up to the house Crunch across the gravel, up to the door. The brass of the door-knocker is tarnished. The paint is beginning to peel in the salt zee air. No one answers, but the door is unlocked...	Mirrors challenge (51 for 100%)	Failed event
		An empty house The hall is dark. The parlour, too. There are signs of disturbance here and there - a smashed cup, an overturned piano- stool, scratches on the walls. There are sounds from downstairs, from the kitchen. You push open the door, cautiously. Something clings to the ceiling: something turns yellow eyes to you and hisses. +1 x Terror Acquaintance: Sojourning with the Sisters = 25 ( You've explored the silent house on Hunter's Keep )

		Words in darkness The hall is dark. The parlour, too. There are signs of disturbance here and there - a smashed cup, an overturned piano-stool, scratches on the walls. You bend to pick up a page of paper and hold it to the light. It is an unfinished poem. You think the handwriting may be Phoebe's. The 'absent moon', the 'gnawing hunger in the heart'. The well. The sea. A great many crossings-out. There are sounds from downstairs, from the kitchen. You push open the door, cautiously. Something clings to the ceiling: something turns yellow eyes to you and hisses. +1 x Terror +10 x Fragment Acquaintance: Sojourning with the Sisters = 25 ( You've explored the silent house on Hunter's Keep )
