Philomel

Inability To Forgive never really got anywhere so ...
I am looking for others now to join a new adventure with Philomel. My Elk Prince character Iavas will also be making an appearance. The premise of this is basically a mad belly-flop of chaos.
Starting:
Philomel has received a hit. As in a mark to assassinate. Only thing is, is that he is an inmate at a mental asylum and his power is to create elaborate illusions. I mean immense, mind-altering ones that are like the holograms on Star Trek or similar Sci Fi shows. Think the Matrix itself in terms of reality.
Basically she does not know why this guy is supposed to be killed, but as a good assassin never asks.
-- Basically he was privy to a secret that could bring down the entire basis of Radasanth society - I am thinking he knows someone had an affair/killed someone else - would be great if there was someone willing to volunteer their own character to be this Murderer/Murderess person. Now this person has come to a bit of public power or similar, they want the mad guy dead.
So Philomel heads off to the asylum which is on a very isolated mountain top in the Red Forest. No trees there, but if you escape you are likely to die. Stuff will happen, I am thinking they are assaulted by a group of infected goblins. Infected by a fungus that makes them bloodthirsty and not feel pain. (Leaf may appear in this section). Or ... just crazy in general. Goblins, maybe orcs ...
Whether they defeat him or not is up to the crew on the quest. Anyway, next bit will be getting to the asylum itself. It will be the maddest place you have ever been, full of Dark Elves who have basically abandoned their original quest of trying to make the inmates better and actually been infected with the fungus. At this point I may get Leaf (Philomel's brother) to have been with them/meet them in the forest, and he susses out the fungus' ability. He is an expert in this field.
After dealing with the guards, in whatever sneaky or killing way, they then move on to finding this inmate. Of course, when they find him they are subject to some form of illusion. I am actually thinking it will be an illusion within an illusion here, that they think at first they kill him, after overcoming each of their worst fears (a cliff for whoever is scared of heights, etc) but then realise when they see a light and are shunted into a locked inmate cell, that the illusion began away back in the forest ...
They then have to escape of course, kill the guy, and figure out a way to deduce what is real and what is illusion. Because they could still be in one ... ha.
Okay no, that is too "Inception". Basically the mad guy is outside of the cell, and escaped due to them originally opening his door to kill him. Then he locked it behind him and is running now, with an avenue to be free. The company then have to try to escape and shut down the asylum before everyone escapes, all the inmates.
So yeah. Who wants in?
