Ragnar stands behind the chair. "If we stay out of the arc of fire it might be safe?"
"I have no such abilities left but I believe positive energy can temporarily dismiss some ghosts... is this a ghost?"
"Get over to where we are, it hasn't turned so far. We don't want to injure it further, what if every wound gushes like that?"
Ragnar moves up into the room trying to stay out of the river of blood as best he can.
"Lets do our best to stay out of the way of this thing."
"Alright lets see what is on the other side." Ragnar braces himself before opening the door.
"We have little else left to explore. Perhaps one person could open it while the others hold back in case of something dangerous?"
'Ragnar' will move to the door and nods to Amalthia before opening it.
"I can but my scimitar will do me for now if you want to wield something more potent."
Ragnar holds up some of the coins and pearls before dropping them back in the box and shaking his head "Useless wealth. The sword looks of fine make at least."
"Locked in a hidden cache, there must be something of some kind of value in it. Hopefully not something purely academic and irrelevant to the current situation."
"We'll recognise it if we see it. No one has tried to kill us in this room and it's shed some light on the situation so for that I am thankful."
"This is ominous to say the least." Ragnar say as he reads the papers before checking the lockbox. "Information if not quite answers."
Ragnar tries to use the latch in the wall and see if he can open it.
Ragnar starts checking the area for anything useful whether it be in the paperwork or objects like medicine or other items. It does seem odd to him that they put a painting in a records room beside another records room and goes to check it out considering they might have hidden a key on the far side of the frame or some such. Freman969: I know OOC what is meant to be there but not trying to metagame it occured to me that the placement of the painting was odd as I was typing it out. You of course might be changing things but I wanted you to know my reasoning.
Ragnar opens the door into the other room.
Ragnar went to comfort Amalthia "They are probably safer than us, with their father perhaps or your other family? It is better for them to be there than in this place. We will find a way out of here."
"There might be useful information in here for us if only things weren't in such disarray. Lets have a look around, before heading elsewhere. Since no one has recognised us look out more for things with recent dates."
Victor nodded at Toad he didn't want to give out to him, he felt the frustration too. "I understand but just be mindful, things will not improve if we only add to the horror of this place. Perhaps the next room will be of more benefit."
"We can't just attack people on sight remember that. The folks back at the chapel gave us a chance though it was a close thing I'll admit. There's good people still trying to hold on despite this place, not that I amn't advocating against caution with strangers here."
Victor tries not to look directly at the gizzly sight. "Yeah they are..." He moves back towards the door. "Can you get them to stop?" Victor will check the area for anything of use once the horror show stops.
Victor swings his scimitar once more at the man. "Stop this madness you fool!"
Victor stays his hand against the crawling man but strikes at the other.
Victor strikes back at one of the men hoping to put and end to their attacks. Better for them to attack him than the others.
Victor carefully moves to the first door on the north side and opens it.
Victor nods before he carefully opens the door.
"Will we press on through this door now if you are all done here?"
Victor will move to help her. "Are you alright?"
"Once ye have finished checking here let's go through that door. For now I'll just keep an eye on it in case something comes through from the other side."
Victor says a prayer over the fallen woman. "Maybe there's more than one portal person? Or we might be lucky and it will just take time for the effect to clear." He looks about the room. "But we should keep looking for supplies and a way out regardless."
"Agree but stick to staying back and using ranged weapons like I said before. I don't want to see what a lung full of dream fog will do."
"You're sure she's already dead... the book hitting her forehead was fairly convincing but..." Victor looks at George for confirmation. "If we're going to try it we should use ranged weapons. I don't like the idea of anyone getting into the fog."
"It's not yellow, maybe it's the only thing holding back the fog?" Victor suggests but isn't confident in the hypothesis.
Victor keeps his voice low "Lets not get too close, I don't think getting a good lungful of that stuff will be good for us."
"I'm not sure... but if it's a threat I'd rather we track it down than let it find us." He moves towards the double doors, ready to move in unless someone objects.
Victor opens the door at the far side of the room.
Victor considers telling them about Saranrae... but decides it would be best to wait until they are headed in the other direction.
"George want to call through and just tell them we're only passing through the room... hopefully they'll take it well."
"I don't know the door was locked but there was something beneath the ground. I think we have enough trouble on our plate without finding out more about it right now."
Victor just runs back to the others. "Get ready to slam the door shut, something is out here!" He's making a lot more noise this time but speed is his only hope of avoiding a fruitless fight. He would not squander their resources on pointless endeavours.
"I will be." Victor gives his allies a smile before moving through the outside area at a quick jog hoping to get to and open the other door... stealth was not an option so a bit of speed was his approach to the problem.
"Alright, how about this. We don't know if the door on the other side is unlocked. Cover me and I'll go over to check it."
"Do we risk it? It sounds like there is something up there... our list of options is getting shorter as we go."
Victor pushes open the door, ready for any assault that might come.
Ok not going to argue against it. Good saves and a good AC should help a lot!
"Sorry-" He sighs "-you know what I mean. This place is steeped in death and unfortunate ends. Not hurt too badly is what I should have said."
Victor will take the other two healing potions. "At least we were able to find these and Amy wasn't hurt. I suppose this place has become so wretched we shouldn't be too surprised to find more than one haunt under it's roof."
