OOC: Death House (5e)

[alhoon]

Anyone wants to add anything? Or should we conclude the 15 mins rest?

[Ken of Ghastria]

Where does Vorj stand in terms of hit points?

[alhoon]

Full. I won't bother with rolls.

[alhoon]

To recognize whether the ghost looked like the woman in the Durst family portraits (you've seen a few already), I would need a perception check from everyone that had a chance to take a look. I.e. everyone except Vorj (horror + unconsciousness = he didn't have the chance to see much more than an angry spirit)

Yeah that's a no...Van most probably believes that the ghost was looking like more to Durst than to a woman!

At the books have we found anything about the family?

[kintire]

that totals 17 *looks hopeful*

[alhoon]

Kimber remembers that the ghost resembled a stabbed, thin young woman with features that probably didn't resemble Elisabeth Durst's features when the ghost was alive.

You haven't studied the books carefully but they appeared to be about very evil rituals, not about the residents aside of naming the cult of perverted canibals that lived in this house.

[VAN]

Ok guess we are ready to go check the secret door then.

[alhoon]

It's a secret staircase.

[alhoon]

Everyone is recharged. Feel free to discuss your plans.

"I can take the lead. I apparently have a rare ability to draw out evil."

I think I mentioned that when you chose that class: Even in your homeworld, undead, fiends, and aberrations were known to target paladins of good deities preferably. Good fey and celestials are known to target paladins of evil deities preferably. Most such creatures seem to be drawn to paladins serving deities of opposing alignment.
Seems to be true in this world too.
(It's especially true in this world but there are ... other mitigating factors in Vorj that seem to confuse the "purity radar" of evil.)

[Ken of Ghastria]

Yep. I appreciate the reminder, but Vorj is still fairly new at the whole paladin thing. I don't think it would necessarily register with him -- at least not yet -- that he might not be the best choice to lead the way.

[alhoon]

And a note (to Van mostly since he's the only rebel left): That Burdur says something, doesn't make it true. The guards have found the holy water and didn't care since the rebellion doesn't use undead. It was not a security lapse; they left a bottle of water (blessed or not) with a prisoner.

[VAN]

Doubt common guards know in which bottles you put holy water and its effect, Van will be way more intrested that we have holy water that will be handy
