The Trophy Heads

Story so far

Hundreds of taxidermied monster heads of all sizes cover the walls of Club Vanquisher's common room, the most striking a black dragon head mounted over the enormous fireplace, its red eyes glinting in the firelight. Li Jun ties one of the Clock Tower Capacitor Wire leads around the dragon head's neck while anchoring the aura network.

When Dark Purpose takes hold, the dragon head groans and every trophy on the wall wakes. One by one they begin to scream — but without lungs, so all they can do is open their mouths and thrash. A goblin head mounted on a shield-shaped wooden plaque falls to the floor, its marble eyes rolling free as it gums the floorboards. The rugs come alive too, including the massive snow-white yeti rug and the bearskin Katia backs away from. Ghosts form around all of them, and the Ethereal Chains come for the trophies as well.

Appearance

Hundreds of mounted heads of every size on wood slat walls, dominated by a red-eyed black dragon over the fireplace; plus bear rugs and a snow-white yeti rug with the humanoid head still attached.

Role

The club's decor, which the dread turns into the chapter's most unnerving image.
