After killing themselves in the dark desert of the old world, the team awake to find themselves still lying on the floor of the entrance hall of Buckland House. But the music of the Yellow Wedding has become the background music of the middle-eastern-themed Auction and the doors are flung open by the Chameleon to reveal the busy and brightly lit bar they remember from Friday night.

 

The world going dark and the rooms of Buckland vanishing meant we had been able to fully recreate the auction, casino and bar and populate it with the same NPCs. We had planned that all the players who had died would be back, with no memory of what had gone between, but in the end only Jeremy DeFreitas was killed by the hounds, so he alone was perplexed by the odd behaviour of his team...

​

It is nearly time for the final auction and the dazed team must still make it into the cellar to find and smash the brick they desperately hope will contain the Carcosa diamond, incapacitate the Church of Starry Wisdom followers, and stash them out of site, ensure the Russians suspect nothing, cling onto polite society behaviour despite everything they have been through and then with a final moment of sleight of hand, bring both versions of the Carcosa Diamond together so they become one, the paradox is ended, Stepanov gets a diamond that does nothing, no portal, no end of time and space and we finally get to shout Mission Accomplished after the most ridiculous 24 or so hours of my life.

Also, for reasons best known the players, they decided to shoot everyone ;-)
