(No, that was something completely different, NG.  That was something that happened this game.  I was referring to the last time I ran this game, in a different thread.)

And please don't bump that thread.  It's dead.)

The first small building you check out is pretty obviously a toolshed.  Nothing special there, saws and hammers and wedges and wheels and such.

The second small building is far more interesting.  Inside there is a series of empty plant pots, sacks of dirt, and bags of seed.  All normal enough, except a normal gardening shed doesn't have occult symbols of some kind written all over it, with pots and soil and seed all in their own mazes of lines and circles and such.  You have a feeling that if you knew some magic, this sight would teach you some important things.

Commit the symbols to memory and check the main building.

Locate a pen an paper conveniently stowed in our clothes and jot down the symbols, because that's exactly how everything here works.

Hmm, I do think writing down the symbols would help us remember them, even if the paper wouldn't persist past the dream.

What will planting the seeds accomplish?

GM: You edited the first post yesterday.  What did you change?

[Devastator]

The post title.  The post title of the OP is the thread title on the forums.

You pull out your writing tools, and begin to draw the symbols with the brush you keep in your pocket

..except you have no pocket.  Or hands.  Or arms.  You can't actually touch anything physically, only see.

..You don't think you have a body like this.  It feels like it might be confusing, but it isn't.  You're just dreaming, what's there to worry about?

That said, you do put some effort into studying the symbols as best you can, tracing some of the loops and whorls, symbols and signs, hopefully to write down in the morning when you awaken.  You end up passing through a good three or four arrangements of them before your brain feels quite full enough.  Hopefully not too full, but at least some of the symbols look like characters, such making it easier to keep them seperate.

What next?

Is it night?  If so, check the sky for constellations.  In addition, scan the horizons for mountains, buildings or signs of habitation, or other landmarks.  This might help us determine the location?
