Added 2024-03-24 23:49:35 +0000 UTCThese are starter bases and will not last forever, but they each have something to offer a new team just starting out.
1. The Abandoned Jail
Location: Near Historic Carousel in the center of town. The heart of desolation, yet central to all.
Perks: Fortified walls and a layout that's easily secured make it a formidable base. Basic amenities. Ghosts sometimes have clues to add to the conversation.
Liabilities: The basement holds a dark secret; triggering a spectral Omen brings forth a not-so-spectral jailer. Spooky vibes. Invisible chains of the past clank in the cold night. The discomfort is palpable. Few creature comforts can be found. Some cells are best left locked.
2. The Fishing Cabin on Dyer's Lake
Location: Secluded, nestled away from the town's prying eyes on the serene yet eerie Dyer's Lake.
Perks: Comfort meets isolation; a cozy retreat where the Banshee's scream forewarns of impending danger, urging you to take cover till dawn's light. The lake's bounty is generous, offering sustenance with a side of caution.
Liabilities: The waters hide more than just fish; beware what you reel in. Legends speak of a fisherman, lost to the lake, whose return would herald a storm of horrors.
3. The Farm House
Location: The pastoral charm of eastern Carousel, a picture of tranquility shadowed by secrets.
Perks: A cozy, seemingly safe haven that demands nothing more than the simplicity of chores to remain in the enigmatic farmer's good graces. Farmer mostly stays to himself.
Liabilities: The farmer, a silent guardian of this land, holds a strict no-ruckus policy like any landlord would. The peace is a fragile truce with the unseen, where each day's end brings its own form of reckoning. The harvest is your offering, but what are you offering it to?
4. The Room for Rent
Location: Within the lively embrace of the town's beating heart, where every street has a story. A room above a bar in the entertainment district.
Perks: Central, accessible, and wrapped in the relative safety of bustling life. The constant flow of strangers offers both risk and opportunity.
Liabilities: The cost of security comes in the form of paying rent, a reminder of the mundane in a world that is anything but. Strangers may bring tales, treasures, or trouble to your doorstep.
PS. The next chapter will be out shortly.

I just noticed this one here by the time I already read the first one. I will reread and make my choice.
