Hi there! It’s the Groundskeeper. I’ve been tasked with securing the Necropolis as part of my duties as the official Keeper of the Necropolis. This will be no easy work, and won’t happen right away, which means we have to “take precautions” to “limit, reduce, or remove any cause for liability.” Those are management’s words, not mine, but I still have to enforce them. This is why I’ve written up the following guidelines to help you navigate the Necropolis in as safe a manner as possible.
Let me just say, that out of all of them, number four is probably the most important. Whatever you do, under no circumstances do you want to find yourself locked in when the sun sets. Anyway, do what you will, just know you have the best chance of survival if you follow these …
1.
Stay with your party. I mean it. Adopt the buddy system and do not wander around solo if you have to wander around at all.
2.
Touching things can have unintended consequences. Listen, I’m new here. I don’t know what those consequences might be, especially since—given what I’ve already dealt with on my first night—the consequences may be different for everyone. I’m not saying don’t touch anything, I’m just saying nobody knows what’s going to happen if you touch something you’re not supposed to.
3.
Avoid throwing anything into the large pond north of the main mausoleum. This includes anything you might be tempted to give the creatures that live there.
4.
The park, er, I mean, the cemetery, closes at dusk. You do not want to be here once the sun goes down. I understand there are some things you’ve gotta find out for yourself, but this is not one of them. If you’re caught here after the gates close, you’ll be assigned to re-interring the zombies. If you think I’m joking, please read the entire chronicle of my first night, linked above. Trust me when I say this is for your own safety.
5.
LEAVE THE GREEN MIST ALONE. The green mist rolls through harmlessly during the day, but you can get wrapped up in it if you wander into it. I was advised to leave it alone when I started, and for good reason, so I’m passing this on to all guests. While I doubt sane people will not willingly approach a strange green cloud, I’m well aware not all people are sane.
6.
And speaking of the green mist, unattended children and unruly guests will be fed to the green mist. No exceptions.
