D&D 5E Curse of Strahd - Death House

Mr Aldershot is satisfied there is a mind, an individual, there, even if it doesn't respond.

"We've taken away the lock. You can go outside," he says gently.

Rose looks down at her dusty skeleton on the floor. "No. No, we can't leave," she sighs. "Our parents locked us in here in life, and now we're here for an eternity in death. But you're here now, and you won't leave us, will you?"

Outside in the corridor, Wergil shuts the bedroom door, locking Mr Aldershot inside..

Mr. Aldershot stands to his full height, of three-foot-two. He smiles benignly. "The choice to stay is yours now, little ones. I'd like to get something for you to make you a little happier. I'll be right back."



OOC:

HAHA HAHA Two minutes two slow. Hilarious.

When Mr Aldershot steps outside, Wergil steps next to him and softly speaks, "What kind of sick, twisted parent does that to their kids? Any idea how we can help them? I'd suggest burying them on holy ground, but we don't know where there is any, and they may not let us!"

"The two children are in there, aren't they?" Girri muttered from the side of the doorway, where she'd ensconced herself out of view of the room's inhabitants. "And they're not flesh and bone children, are they?" A wash of sadness waved over her, and she felt tired. "We've done as they asked, and investigated the home for a monster. Maybe the wraith that attacked Mr. Aldershot and Wergil was the monster? If we've dispatched it, we should be free to leave. I see no parents here. And no basement. This house--and its inhabitants--gives me the chills. Shall we go?"

"I think you're right, Girri. There must be something that we have missed. Maybe now we know about this room, some of the other things may make more sense?"

Kasimir


Kasimir stood silently as Mr Aldershot talked with the spirits of the two children. It was a vile thing that had been done to them but now they were little more than lingering spirits, capricious and dangerous. He drummed his fingers on the handle of his axe and wondered: 'Would these things be as dangerous as the ghost of the nanny?' If so, the group who had stumbled upon this cursed house were in trouble. Kasimir cleared his throat but otherwise remained silent. He glanced back at the door where the others murmured quietly among themselves. Kasimir doubted they would be allowed to leave without a fight and so he turned his attention back to the small spirits.

"What do you want to do now, little ones?" Unconsciously, the big warrior mimicked Mr Aldershot's tone and mode of addressing the children.
