Rose says I don't know what Faerun is....I just know where the House is, Father said its always been here, in Barovia.

As Thornbolt disappears, a cold chill runs down Malthorn's back. Blinking his eyes a few times and testing his hands and feet, nothing appears to be wrong with him.

"Rose can you show us how to access the secret passage?"

I don't really want to go down. The secret passage but there were three suits of armor one floor below, they could all be animated if we go back down the main steps as these thought pass through Maltorn's mind, his feet draw him closer to Valen and the others.

Looking puzzled, Gale mutters more to herself than anyone, "Never heard of Barovia. I suppose we'd better find out who the local lord is and if there are any particular customs we need to know about..."

Answering the ghost's earlier question, Gale says, "Yes we'll help, but you need to help us too." She waits to see if Rose can answer Malthorne's question before trying a more direct approach.

Valen nods at Malthorn's question. "We will deal with whatever is in the basement. Just lead us there."

Gail: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Rose says I can show you the way. and then she disappears.

Gail:
You have been possessed by the ghost of Rosavelda Durst. You gain the following flaw
"I like being in charge and get angry when other people tell me what to do."
You also gain advantage on all INT saving throws while being possessed. Rosavelda shows you where the secret door is to the basement, you know its in the old supply room in the attic (Labeled as 21)

Malthorn follows Valen and Gail to the secret stairwell making sure he is behind someone and not the last one in line.

Gail starts suddenly, eyes wide and dilated. She stumbles slightly and them masters herself. Swiveling one one foot, she marches out of the room calling to her friends in a rather bossy way as she goes, "Come on! I know where the secret door is. It's high time somebody cleared out the basement..."

She heads for the secret door, opens it and starts heading down!


Encounter Map

Gail leads the party down the newly found secret staircase, as they descend the air begins to feel heavier and more oppressive. Suddenly you find the bottom of the stairs and the darkness seems to envelop you.

The wooden spiral staircase from the attic ends here. A narrow tunnel stretches southward before branching east and west.

I'll need to know who has a light source, its pitch black in the basement. Also, I'm pretty sure we lost our Sorceror, if they haven't posted in a couple days I'll have something suitably horrific happen to them. Then you can decide to replace or not. Map is updated.

As each of you make it to the Basement, you begin to hear chanting, you cannot pinpoint where it is coming from, nor can you make out individual words.

Malthorn has darkvision

As they round the steps descending to the basement, Malthorn swings back and forth between almost stepping on Valen as they descend to slowing to a crawl only to have Talus push him forward. With the pushes coming more and more often as they get close to the bottom, but when the sound of chanting can be heard, he stops completely.

As Gail turns towards the other and the light from her shield causes a shadow to dance across the wall, he let's out a blast at the shadow. "NO!"

Eldritch blast: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22damage: 1d10 ⇒ 6


Talus Koss Human Mystic 7 HP:51/55 5 temp Init:+2 PP:15 AC:16 Psi:12/38 Psi Limit:6HD:5/6 S:+2 D:+2 C:+2 I:+7 W:+4 Ch:-1

Talus hurries after Gail down the dangerous stairs, hissing "Gail , hold up , we don't know where...."

His observation was brought up short by their arrival a the bottom , the darkness alievated by Gail's shield.

He strains to make out what the chanting was saying, when Malthorn attacks a nearby shadow, "Malthorn, calm yourself!"


Male Elf Paladin 4 - HP 36/36 - AC 17 - Initiative +3 - Passive Perception 13 - LoH 10/20 - DS 3/3 - SS 1st - 3/3

Valen watches Gail's sudden sense for secrets and Malthorn's panic with suspicion. "This isn't like you Malthorn. What happened up there with the ghost children?"

In a tone normally reserved for a parent chiding a small child, Gail cries, "Malthorne!" Quieter she sighs, 'So much for a stealthy approach, anyway do you hear that? We must find out where it's coming from."

Normally Gail would wait to hear what the others where thinking before trying something dangerous. Without waiting for anyone's opinion on what they should do, Gail stalked off south, the bubble of illumination following her. She attempts to pinpoint the chanting!

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 No Gail! That's a foolish thing to do, there's a monster down her and you're being too headstrong to give it the respect it's due!


Encounter Map

Malthorn gets jumpy while the only source of light in this pitch black area begins to move away. Everyone follows Gail south and she stops as she sees where she is....the Durst Family Crypt.

To her Left Gail sees the names Rosavelda Durst and Thornboldt Durst carved above the entrance to those crypts. On her Right the names Gustav Durst and Elizabeth Durst are carved on the stone slabs.

To Gail's south she sees what looks like the moldy remains of a dining hall....

Gail:
You have an urge to investigate Rosavelda's crypt.

Malthorn:
You have an urge to investigate Thornboldt's crypt

"I'm really not sure, ever since the little one, what was his name....ah yes, Thornbolt disappeared I feel as if the world is pressing in upon me ...Hmm, that strange, the boy and girl's skeletons were apparently locked away and yet here is his coffin, or tomb where he should have been found. Gonna check it out."

Malthorn moves towards the crypt marked for Thornbolt ....

Male Elf Paladin 4 - HP 36/36 - AC 17 - Initiative +3 - Passive Perception 13 - LoH 10/20 - DS 3/3 - SS 1st - 3/3

Valen frowns in worry. "Gail, Malthorn I think the two of you may want to let the rest of us lead for a time. Something odd is happening to you. You could be endangering yourselves."

Gail, I think I will adopt the resource tracker you have going, very smart.

"NO! cried Gail hotly, she then turned her ire on Malthorn saying, "This way, don't wander off!"

Without waiting to see if either of them follow, Gail wanders off, ok ok, Gail shoots off with unseemly haste to investigate Rosavelda's crypt. If it's open she heads strait in. Honestly what could possibly go wrong with this plan. Malthorn going one way, and Gail going the other in a spooky basement with possibly demonic chanting!

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

For me spreadsheets have been a godsend. I'd never remember what resources had been used in the various games... On a side note, I hope this haunting ends soon because my vision for Gail was as a little abrupt (8 cha) rather than abrasive and domineering. Normally she would wait to hear what you all have to say.

Anyone watching would swear Malthorn jumped a foot off the floor when Gail scolded him.

"I w-wanted to see the crypt. Are you gonna let me or no-ot? I really wanna see the crypt , and it's not fair you're bossing me around like that, Valen, Talus, why is Gail giving me a hard time this just isn't fair. Do you guys think I should get to go,she doesn't get to tell me what to do....AIIHH!"

He wails before screaming like a child and zapping a rat that happens to cross the edge of his vision, disturbed by Gail moving into Rosavelda's crypt area, once more he goes to stand behind Valen. Oh nothing at all could go wrong here


Encounter Map

Malthorn and Gail move into the Crypt area proper and notice that both crypts are sealed with large sealstones. It takes a STR check DC15 to move them, you get advantage if someone helps you

As Talus and Valen moves to keep up with the two, they notice that Siobhan has disappeared without a sound.

Getting rid of that character, they haven't posted in weeks. We can recruit another if you'd like or we can continue with 4


Talus Koss Human Mystic 7 HP:51/55 5 temp Init:+2 PP:15 AC:16 Psi:12/38 Psi Limit:6HD:5/6 S:+2 D:+2 C:+2 I:+7 W:+4 Ch:-1

Talus looks around, about to ask where Siobhan had got to, but Malthorn and Gail's behaviour seized his attention.

"Ok you two, stop with these antics. I'm not sure this is the place and time to be opening crypts." Talus states reasonably.


Male Elf Paladin 4 - HP 36/36 - AC 17 - Initiative +3 - Passive Perception 13 - LoH 10/20 - DS 3/3 - SS 1st - 3/3

Valen backs up Talus, "We've seen how dangerous this house can be, we need to stick together and be methodical."

Gail disagrees saying, "Au contraire this is the perfect time! Rose wants us to investigate, she says it's important. I suspect Thornboldt does so too at least that's what Rose says."
You know Gail well enough to know this behavior is totally unlike her, something must have happened to her!

She throws her weight against the sealstone, it wobbles slightly. Will somebody aid her?

Seeing Gail move into the other crypt area, Malthorn is not about to be outdone, squaring his shoulder he marches resolutely forward and begins tugging on the sealstone.

strength: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (20) + 0 = 20

Moving it easily. Hmm, doesn't know his own strength it appears

"Then come and help me Valen, Malthorn calls out in response to Valens comments."

This was probably a really bad idea Gail, definitely not how I envisioned Malthorn exploring.


Encounter Map

Gail struggles against the sealstone while Malthorn moves his aside easily. Malthorn gazes at an empty bier where Thornboldt's remains should be and feels a sense of emptiness.

"Perhaps the remains from above should be placed within." Malthorn says in a quiet voice

Valen gives in to the odd actions of his friends for now, but keeping wary "I think you are right Malthorn. We should put the dead to rest." He will follow Malthorn and Gail to gather the remains when they are ready.

From the other room, Gail calls out, "Eh? Actually that's a good idea. Lets do it!" She starts moving back towards the stairs... Wow that would be 'fun' job, moving the skeletal remains...

Malthorn moves to follow the others back up the steps to implement his? idea. "There is still the weird chanting, perhaps it'll be gone before we come back. Finding something else in this house to haunt."


Talus Koss Human Mystic 7 HP:51/55 5 temp Init:+2 PP:15 AC:16 Psi:12/38 Psi Limit:6HD:5/6 S:+2 D:+2 C:+2 I:+7 W:+4 Ch:-1

The reasonableness of Malthorn's suggestion startled Talus for a moment, the man looking at the Warlock suspicously. Then his brow cleared, nodding, thinking This place, makes even the best suggestion seem untoward.

"It is a good idea. Two wrongs corrected, I'm sure many more to come." Talus says, following the others up.


Encounter Map

The party gathers the skeletal remains of Thorn and Rose from the attic where the died. They then bring the remains down into the crypt and lay them on their biers.

Rose and Thorn's ghostly figures appear and Rose says

Thank you. Because of your actions today my brother and I are free. Our wicked parents locked us in that room to starve, but the kindness of strangers has prevailed over their wickedness. Perhaps Barovia is not doomed. the two ghosts disappear.

Everyone has Inspiration! (If you didn't already have it, you can't have it twice


Male Elf Paladin 4 - HP 36/36 - AC 17 - Initiative +3 - Passive Perception 13 - LoH 10/20 - DS 3/3 - SS 1st - 3/3

Valen smiles radiantly, basking in the victory of light over dark, "Gail, Malthorn, I hope you two are back to normal! Whatever those two did to you it seems to have been for a good cause." His smiles slips as he considers further, "We still have a monster to deal with and likely the soul of a baby to save."

Gail shivers as the presence of Rose leaves her, she was glad to have helped her but equally glad not to share a body with her! "That was... That was most, peculiar. I'm sorry for my behavior just now, something of Rose's impulsiveness must have rubbed off on me, although I think its gone now. Anyway we should think of what to do now. I believe we are likely still stuck here. Oh and there is the body of the murdered woman to think of. How should honor her remains?"

If Rose was still there, the last was addressed to her.


Encounter Map

Only two posts all day? Disconcerting.

Nothing responds to Gail's statement...except for the continuous chanting of indeterminate origin.


Talus Koss Human Mystic 7 HP:51/55 5 temp Init:+2 PP:15 AC:16 Psi:12/38 Psi Limit:6HD:5/6 S:+2 D:+2 C:+2 I:+7 W:+4 Ch:-1

Talus considers Gails question for a moment, "I believe Rose gave us a clue to that, Gail. 'Her wicked parents'. They obviously did some horrible things in the house, solving its riddles and ridding...Barovia..of it's taint...that I think would honor all whose fell prey to the Durst family."

Gail wasn't quite sure her point had gotten across, "Mmm I suppose. I was wondering if she should be buried somewhere in particular."

Just then the incessant chanting interrupted and a little crossly (not at Talos) Gail sighed, "We should really do something about that racket. As you say terrible things happened here... Seriously though, who could starve their own children to death?! I don't get it."


Male Elf Paladin 4 - HP 36/36 - AC 17 - Initiative +3 - Passive Perception 13 - LoH 10/20 - DS 3/3 - SS 1st - 3/3

"For the house to have ended up like this... I can't say I imagine its owners were pleasant people. I think our best bet is to continue searching this place and gathering information. Perhaps we can find the best place to lay her to rest then." Valen walks forward.

Continuing into 27.

"The house is a death trap now, finding her a place outside to be put the rest may help her soul find rest, at least I know mine would if it wasn't for the damnable mist out there." Malthorn moves to assist Valen, thankful the thoughts brought on by Thornbolt were now gone, or at least subsided back to his normal thought of his family's doom.

"I'll watch left, Valen"


Encounter Map

Valen leaves his only source of light and moves south into the room...as Gail follows they see

This room contains a plain wooden table flanked by long benches. Moldy humanoid bones lie strewn on the dirt floor.

Medicine or INT DC10:
These are human bones.

Perception DC10:
The bones show evidence of chew marks, something ate them.

Moving into the room beside Valen, Malthorn wrinkles his nose at the sight. "Valen? Don't suppose that little talent of yours can detect anything in here with us can it? Not sure I want to meet whatever has been feeding here...and that's me talking not Thornbolt"

Niles it looks like there should be a doorway to my right, is the door closed or can Malthorn see further into that room as well.

"Monstrous!" Talus exclaims at Valen's revelation, "I swear this house will present every depravity known to man."

He moves with the others into the room, carefully stepping between the bones.

Peering around the corner, Malthorn tells the others it is a short passageway leading to some. Steps going down I think .

Then as distasteful as it seems he begins systematically search through the room looking for anything that might identify those that were eaten.

Gail nods at Malthorn's discovery, a sub-basement for this house of death was no surprise. "Earlier Valen suggested we clear each floor in turn. Tactically sound advice in light of all we've seen. Let me help you with your search Malthorn."

While Gail is nowhere near as methodical as the tall Tiefling, her eyes are sharp!

If they don't find anything significant, she suggests exploring to the south.
