Arcanis: The Spear of the Lohgin

Zerth said:
Basically, I'm suggesting the whole group takes 20 in search in every room. Same upstairs, once we get there. This will take a lot of time, but we are not in a hurry. I believe Visha will be occupied with the records quite some time.

OCC: Good Idea. that should keep us occupied until the druid rears his shaggy head.

"Forgive my ignorance sir but I had forgotten to ask your name. And I can see that this distresses you. If you do not wish to remain than you may leave. I can understand the distress this must cause your soul. We will not harm anything and will only take what may be needed to solve this mystery." Gideon says to the knight.

Cadwyn, Solonir, Gideon- Lohgin Manor

The guard gives Cadwyn a strange look. "The bodies have all been disposed of- we were not going to let them rot where they lay. Those places where the infection was worst, have been sealed off to prevent anyone else from contracting it."

To Gideon the guard says: "Sir, my name is Gregor, I was one of Sir Lohgin's retainers. While I do not feel it is safe for us to be here, I have already disobeyed orders not to let anyone in. I cannot turn back now."

With Gregor watching nervously, the party begins to search... (OOC details and map forthcoming)
 

"Bah," Visha says when he is finished, disgusted. "There is nothing here. This is a waste of time."

He rises, stretches slightly, then heads out. As he passes a priest, he nods to them. "You there, go put away what I was reading. And tell Brother Albert that, for records to be useful, they must hold information."

With that, Visha leaves, then heads in the direction of the Lohgin manor.

That is the one place that will hold any truly useful information... or, at least, it will point me in the right direction.

Looks at the guard eyeing him, then realises it migh just be his nunchaka.

Puts it away.

Cadwyn, Solonir, Gideon- Lohgin Manor

Starting with the two smaller bedrooms (which Gregor says belonged to the servants), you go through the first floor room by room.

There is little of interest in the dining hall or sitting room, which appears to have been mainly for receiving guests.

The study contains a desk and chair along with various clutter. There is an ancient suit of armor in the corner, and other old weapons decorating the walls. Over the desk is a portrait of a regal looking young man in antiquated armor and bearing a spear. The painting is ordinary except for the man's eyes- a white nimbus of light seems to emanate from them. Gregor says that the portrait is of Vir Lohgin, founder of the family line.

The desk contains a great deal of records and other papers, some of them very old. Most of these are financial records, the tracking of personnel and properties, and the like. None of the recent papers have anything unusual, and nothing stands out as being connected with the plague. There is no journal or diary or anything of that nature.

The kitchens themselves contain nothing out of the ordinary. However, when looking through one of the pantries Gideon finds the smell of the house to become much worse- to the point of nauseating. Covering his mouth, he looks through some of the boxes until he finds the source- one crate contains a dozen or so dead rats. The rats are dessicated, almost skeletal, and large patches of skin are simply missing, exposing the bone underneath.

In another pantry, Cadwyn discovers a trap door (which I forgot to mark on the map). Gregor says it leads to the cellar.
 



"Gregor, The first people to come down with the plague, were they in a group recently before that where they may have all been exosed together?" The holy warrior asked while lookin at the picture.

OOC: Gideon will attempt to move the picture. Is there anything behind it?
 

Cadwyn walks over to Gideon.

"I found the trap door to the cellar. It's waiting for us, as the spider leaps from its burrow to its intended prey."
