Chapter 32: From Beyond

Ingrid Esthof

The cleric moves into the hall with the others, mace readied.

Mouser keeps to the shadows once more to watch their rear. He sneaks a glance behind them so the group doesn't get too far ahead of him.

The Accursed Mansion, The Dreamlands
Day Two. Night. Sunday, December 25th, 576 CY







Faron joins Long Bo at the first door in the abandoned wing of the accursed mansion. He too hears nothing of what horrors might lie in wait behind it.

As the others slowly follow, the grey druid creeps across the groaning floorboards to the second door. He presses his ear against it and faintly hears the creak of hinges and the thud of wood.

The trap door?!


Actions?!

[ChubbyPixie]

Telkis shuffles quietly to where Bo listened at the door. He looks at the druid questioningly, expecting the answering look to be "rats."

[Urson]

Jerome
Jerome tries to remain ready for anything, watching West down the hall. He licks his dry lips, wishing he'd been able to get a drink from one of the goblets in the banquet hall.

[OGRE MAGE]

Bo motions for the others to remain quiet, pointing to the door as he whispers to Telkis

"It sounds like the zombies are trying to climb up through Faron's trap door......maybe?"

Pressing his luck, the grey pilgrim moves along to the last door, having a listen beyond for anything stirring inside.

[Scott308]

Ingrid Esthof

Knowing "quiet" and "cleric moving around in armor" do not typically go together, Ingrid will do the prudent thing and stay where she is.

[SocraticLawyer]

Urdur also does the prudent thing and waits in the hall for the others to investigate their options.

[ravenn4544]

Mouser keeps to his post.

[jemmus]

Faron quietly goes with Bo and also listens at the door.

[Inferno]

The horror continues in... Chapter 33: Nightmare House
