i am a cultivator, yes. i cultivate spiritual energy from the dantian in order to perform what you'd call magic. back home, cultivators are responsible for handling the yao, demons, ghosts, and monsters who appear on their sect's lands. so, dealing with ghosts, spirits, and the undead is not unfamiliar to me.

Have you ever dealt with something like this place?

[suibian]

a different realm? no. there are only the three realms where i come from — the heavens, the earthly realm, and the underworld. never heard of anything like this.

[dullknife]

It has conceptual similarities to an advanced technique in my world, but the scope and magnitude of it are far beyond anything I've encountered or even would previously have considered possible.

[suibian]

interesting. is this a technique performed by humans or gods?

[dullknife]

Human sorcerers and powerful cursed spirits. I'm not capable of it myself.

[suibian]

so you think we might be trapped here by either a human sorcerer or a powerful cursed spirit

[dullknife]

I think the house itself is a curse, or something like one. Yes.

[suibian]

and your definition of curse?

[dullknife]

Curse, cursed spirit, these are interchangeable terms. In short it describes a malevolent being spawned by the accumulation of cursed energy produced by humanity's negative emotions.

[suibian]

got it. sounds a bit like yao or monsters where i'm from. living or dead non-humans. sometimes made in reaction to humans, sometimes not.

okay. so what would you do to deal with a curse? kill it?
