The PCs IMC were walking through a large patch of forest between adventures and were just simply looking for a place to rest. They came across an abandoned pet cemetary off the road which was mostly overgrown with brush and foliage. The group went through the cemetary just looking at few wooden headstones that weren't totally rotted away. The Cleric felt the need to cast Hallow on the spot. Finally the group moved away and bedded down for the night.On the next day the group traveled for some 10 miles (still in the forest) when they came a across a dilapidated abandoned home off the road. They decided to investigate it. They found nothing but rotting furniture, a floor that sagged down into the root cellar beneath and the rafters filled with nesting birds.The group did happen to find a secret door leading down from the root cellar which led them to a small room filled with odd utensils (like a surgeons) and an old rotted out table. there were also the remains of many animals. The players became somewhat spooked (not sure why but they did) and left. Once outside the house they were confronted by an old crone of a woman who had a raven sitting on her shoulder. She was pleasant to the group and asked why they were at her home. The group was surprised that anyone lived there, and told her they thought it was abandoned. She invited then in for tea but they refused and headed off on their merry way. When they looked back, they watched her enter the house.Once out of the woods, they came across a merchant riding in the opposite direction (heading for the forest). He asked them if the road ahead was clear. The group said yes except for the strange old lady who lived in the ruined house. The merchant sort of froze and said, "you mean old Sadie? Couldn't be, she's been dead for 20 years now. used to be an old taxidermist for the local folk. Buried many of the townsfolk pets in the cemetery up the road a bit.." He then bid them farewell and rode off.Now why the players were creeped out by that, I don't know but one of the players said she felt a chill literally run down her spine when the merchant told them about 'old Sadie'.  Just one of those things I suppose.</blockquote>
