Hey gang,
You shouldn't split the party. It'll end in a TPK! So we'll go with the will of the majority, as usual.

In your next IC reply, please make your intention clear (if you haven't done so already) so I can count votes and move the game along. :)

Thanks!

Hi Pixie. The kitchen (area 3 on the map) has no doors.

Sometimes this summer I will most likely be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life. This organization uses gaming to help raise money to donate to children's hospitals. I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible. Please take a moment to check out my donation page below. Thank you.

Having said that, Urson is correct that it does appear to be an unexplored hallway beyond the spiders. That might not be a bad option- see what horror lies that way.

I'm sorry all, the past few days have been kind of hectic* and I've kind of lost track of where we are. I know we're in the room next to the one with the baby spiders. But I don't recall if there are doors that can be jammed/barricaded.

*The other person on my team at work got fired for stealing food out of people's lunches in the break room fridge. Almost a year and a half, and I never suspected I was training and supervising a lunch bandit....

That is impressive. I wasn't here for the start, but I'm very glad I took over for Ingrid's original player...even if Ingrid regrets ever leaving home in the first place.

Yeah, but it is much shorter when you break it down by the times we've been TPKed already.

Even in this strange, dream-like state, we shouldn't split the party else risk another TPK.

Right now, 3 PCs want to climb the servants' stair.
2 might want to return to the great hall and the main door of the mansion.

Friday, I'll tally final votes and move things forward based on the will of the majority. Thanks.

It seems to me that we're stuck here until the next holiday, in about 5 or 6 days. We can check out the front to confirm, but going upstairs seems the most prudent move to me at this point.

But Urdur will go wherever the majority want to go.
