Four invitations such as this have mysteriously made their ways into mailboxes all across the Equestrian wasteland. Included in them are keycards and directions to Timely Manor, the Baltimare coast homestead of the very late Baroness Bronco Grimmane. A three-storey mansion that has gone untouched for at least a hundred years.
A few lucky mail-checkers and their plus ones, if applicable, will have the opportunity to attend the Nightmare Night party of the century. That is, if they have what it takes to substitute for pre-wastes Equestria's greatest sleuths.
What treasures could Timely Manor hold? A fortune in loot? Rare technology? Knowledge of the past? Food, a roof, and a clean bed? Perhaps the better question is: What obstacles will stand in the way?

The Nitty Gritty:
I'm looking for four to six players for a puzzle-centric PnP that will take place in a singular, complex location. Something between mystery and survival horror. No outside contact, no escape, and a limited amount of time. Players will have twelve in-game hours to complete their goals and make an exit; that's it.
There will be a focus on teamwork but some XP will be awarded individually.
We're adhering mostly to Kkat's ruleset.
Will occur on a combination of irc and Roll20.
Character details:
Available races are: Earth Pony, Pegasus, Unicorn, Zebra, Gryphon, Buffalo, Batpony, and their Ghoul variants (I may be convinced to accept other races with appropriate backstory and ruleset).
Characters will start at Level 4 with 800 caps worth of gear up to 2nd tier Mad_Modd's Equipment (Please convert skill bonuses to their appropriate Kkat's equivalent).
Characters must be Guests (those with invitation keycards) or a Guest's Plus One. Guests and their Plus Ones may share caps and up to two levels. This means two collaborating players may start with two Level 4 characters, one Level 5 and a Level 3, or one Level 6 and a Level 2. I'd like at least one paragraph of backstory per character's level.
We're using f1r3w4rr10r's Automated Sheet 2.0
