We enter the Grand Dining Room, it is full of fine decor and graceful ladies dining - who disapear amid ghostly laughter. The finery vanished - and all that was left was rotten dresses, with a Spectre at the head of the table! Odo's prayers failed and it came towards us wielding a cold blade. We ran and slammed the door behind us.
The corridor smelt stale and we crept towards the Kitchen; in we went and were met by a hail of silver cutlery as the possessed silverware attacked us followed by the knives off a chopping block. Odo couldnt remove the curse and the flurry only stopped when Usk son of Osk hammered a silver tea tray out of the air with his shield and stamped on it.....we took the silverware after Odo sprinkled holy water over it. Its worth about 320 sp
On to theButler's Room where a slimery blob of goo was glooped around an opal ring and some coins. It was evil in some way but Vimire put a torch to it and it globbed away leaving 180gp and 55sp.
Through a door we could hear warriors singing a dirge in the distance. Comforting.
Then we went into the Maid's Room; a young girl kept screaming and disappearing....a chest was in the corner, Novarion tried to unlock it but succumbed to a poison needle. He was paralysed for 10 minutes - during which a zombie came into the room. Lucca hacked it down with his sword but we noticed that Odo failed to turn it. Usk then smashed the chest - a opal necklace matching the ring - call it 720gp for the pair - and a silver dagger which may be more useful than the loot.
We are going to try to find a way through the Manor and find Squire Rump; at the pace we are making we will need a safe base to explore from and recover. If anywhere is safe here. Lucca is already muttering he'd rather fight giants and Oakheart agreed readily.
