The Manse Macabre (concluded)

[mikemacdee]

Yaaay, my players are still alive!

Caranthir:



A thorough search reveals the corridor to be safe. The walls here are more modest, lacking the lavish paintings and tapestries of the previous halls. To the east it stops at a shrine of sorts: several candles surround another statue of a heroic-looking Martense ancestor, who kneels in prayer.

[Big Bene]

Hey! Dat's the wrong way! Meat is there!
Aw, crap.
Don't split the group, old barbarian shamans say.
Hurgar follow pointy-ears, but uses other door. More fitting 'is size.
Move:

Big Bene rolled 2 6-sided dice:

1 east, 1 south, then west.
If point-ears let 'im pass, Hurgar takes a look round the corner. If no Monsters there, he searches fer traps, then EOT.

Yaaay, my players are still alive!

I'm alive, just had no internet ovr the weekend.
But having said this, I'm probably afk for some days. My will son be born tomorrow, so I and my finace will go to the hospital today and stay there for around finve days. If I find some internet access there, I'll probably have to look up some things anyways, and will use this for a short stop at the inn. But if not, don't wait for me. If I haven't took my turn for 24 hours, please have someone else move Hurgar.

Eddy follows strong Hurgar:

Sjeng rolled 2 6-sided dice:

EoT.

Hurgar:

If I find some internet access there, I'll probably have to look up some things anyways, and will use this for a short stop at the inn. But if not, don't wait for me. If I haven't took my turn for 24 hours, please have someone else move Hurgar.

I'd hate to have someone else control him, but we'll figure something out.



Hurgar's search finds no traps...only a door, and an unusually lavish one at that when compared to the rest of the hallway. The doorframe is decorated with elaborate ivory carvings.

Eddy Wizzard:



Eddy catches up with Caranthir, startling him slightly.

A slight breeze blows out the shrine candles.

[Daedalus]

Kili joins the others in the servant's passage, moving south, then west. He searches for treasure if he makes it. "Never pass up a chance to get rich," old guild clansmen say.

Movement:

Daedalus rolled 2 6-sided dice:

Place him next to Carathir. (I hope Eddy Wizzard is okay with his placement.) EoT

[mikemacdee]

Kili:



The sounds of scratching have stopped again. Kili waits a moment to see if they return; when they do not, he rejoins his comrades, taking position ahead of Caranthir.

Kili gives the hallway a look and seems disappointed with the lack of decorations, apart from the occasional candelabra on the wall. (No hallway treasure in NA version.)

mikemacdee rolled 3 6-sided dice:

Kili looks back and freezes for a moment -- he was certain there was someone watching the group from the east end of the corridor. At a second glance, he sees only the kneeling statue, its head bowed in prayer.

[mikemacdee]

Zargon's Turn:

The manor is unnervingly quiet.

End of Turn

[The Road Warrior]

Caranthir Movement:

The Road Warrior rolled 2 6-sided dice:

Caranthir decides to investigate what is behind the door Hurgar found

[mikemacdee]

Caranthir:



Beyond the door is a surprisingly modest study, furnished only by a large oak desk. The shelves on the desk are packed with scrolls and books.

[Sjeng]

you guys.... that statue back there is watching me...
