OOC: Death House (5e)

[alhoon]

As per the request of the two former players, their characters have been removed from the house. It would be uncomfortable for me to deal with 3 NPCs in a 6 people party, I wouldn't do them justice and I would have (through 3 NPCs) too much voice in the decisions. It felt unfair to have them die without reason so with their prompting I decided it was best to have them mist-napped for somewhere else.

NOTE: The adventure is subtle like a sledgehammer in the part of describing what's in the books of the secret room or what happened in the Death House. And it is downright disturbing.

I didn't add to it but I didn't put kid gloves either. So be warned when you read the IC.

Reminder: Van would be out for a couple more days

[Ken of Ghastria]

Okay, thanks for the update!

[VAN]

I'm back guys, ready to roll!

I think we haven't checked room 7 yet so Van will go search there.

There doesn't seem to be any hollow areas behind the closet, as in no hollow places in the wall. Unless you mean "adjacent room" in which case there is the library.

I hope everybody here keeps resisting reading the adventure.
And speaking of that... in case enough people survive\are interested we could push the adventure to that mill you found the deed for which is part of Curse of Strahd adventure although it can be played autonomously.

By the way, by my count we have:
1 pure rebel (Van), 1 not-so-interested rebel that threw in with the rebellion because his clan chose so (Burdur, NPC), 1 not-so-interested loyalist that threw in with the loyalists because her clan told her to help them (Kimber), 1 loyalist (Vorj).
4 different ideologies, covering most of the spectrum, all working together.

They say nothing unites like a common enemy...

I am happy to take this as far as it goes!

[VAN]

Big thumbs up!

Since Burdur moves with Vorj, I suppose Van opens the drapes to get more light in the room, right? If not, then he has disadvantage now that Burdur is away.
Kimber can see even with the little light that comes through them since she has darkvision.

[VAN]

Yes opens the drapes

[VAN]

If Ken agrees we can move at the other side of the room 6, and open the door we haven't opened yet.

[alhoon]

That's the room I just described sis. Where Vorj and Burdur now are.
You have searched the entirety of floor 2, I just haven't updated the map yet.

[alhoon]

I updated the map and descriptions thread. The 2nd floor is totally explored (there's a closet in room 7 that you have also checked and checked for secret rooms)

[Ken of Ghastria]

Sorry, I've forgotten: Are there stairs going further up, or is the basement the only unexplored area left?
