Idea- A lonely dream attempts to entrap people so it isn't lonely anymore.

Anchor- The Small Dream

Way to destroy connection- Kill the Small Dream

Hint-

Type of Plot- Plot Medium (Exploration/Some Talking to Townspeople needed)

Terrain/Environment- Woods/Town

Plot- The poolboys surface in a spring or well at a forest edge. They go into a town and notice it is inhabited by mostly women and that many of them display cuts, injuries, bandaged limbs missing limbs, etc. It turns out there is a man whose dream was to be adored by many women and so he was made the only man in the town and in order to vie for his attention many of the women turned violent.

The women will be gossiping on how uncommon it is to see outsiders. If they talk to them enough they might hear other stories of other people. And how they ended up. They'll meet the man (So far thinking calling him Rion not sure)

He's completely gone mad now while he still finds pleasure it has driven him mad that he cannot stop the people he tries to care for hurting themselves and he will try to engage the poolboys into fighting him and some of the women.

If they do engage him he pretty much does seriously fight until he is close to losing in which he will attempt to get to the closest stronger person and pretty much get in front of their weapon so that he dies.

After he dies the town goes vacant. There is some evidence that the town was there, However because the small dream's victim was "freed" it needs a newer victim.

So it will lure the poolboys to the forest to a clearing. The first person/people to step into the clearing will get attacked mentally by the small dream. If the attack succeeds the new dream will be crafted by something by that poolboy.

The team needs to get to see through it/find the small dream and kill it.The Small Dream has a high mental attack again low defense.

The person whose dream it is won't be present, having disappear via the dream illusion. If anyone stepped in with them they too will be in the illusion.

If they kill the dream while the teammate is trapped in it. There might be a consequence. Hence they need the person to snap out of it. Radio Communication/Talking to them/trying to follow them are all viable ways.
