Session 12 (Ghost House)
(This session was actually played before session 11 and is published here only after to stay in ingame chronological order)
With Aurelian, not the stealthiest mage, staying in the nearby brothel to lend backup if needed, the other 3 heroes approached the abandoned house.
Through the back door they entered the ground floor and first found the kitchen, which appeared to have been plundered with some broken dishes in a corner and less than expected furniture. Further into the other rooms, additional signs of the ransacking were found with a door smashed in and broken furniture in the front rooms. The main room had a small table and a fireplace that Halvar remembered in use from the gaze into Eolans mind.
Upstairs bloodstains were seen in one of the children’s rooms on the wooden floor, indicating the place where part of the bloodbath happened that the heroes had heard rumours about. The whole family died here after the husband suddenly became feral and killed them and himself. Having seen the ferocity with which Nitor fought against them in the mine while under nameless control, the heroes came to the idea the massacre in this house might have been caused by the power of the nameless god.
In the attic there were a few bags of corn and some rats scurried around.
Last the heroes entered the cellar, which had a larger room towards the back and connected by an arched doorway a smaller vault towards the front. This doorway was covered with what appeared to Ishan (after a double 20 perception roll) as a giant spiderweb. When he started to cut himself through it and reached the vault, swarms of rats attacked him. Being trained to fight in the narrow streets of Fasar, he was less affected by the cramped doorway and managed to kill a few rats before he was hurt so badly by rat bites that he had to retreat.
