D&D 5E Curse of Strahd - Death House

"Right," said Girri for the second time in just a few seconds. "You never did say what 'one of those' was, exactly." She eyed Wergil's chest as if examining the area where he'd been wounded would yield answers, then nodded at Mr. Aldershot. "Sticking together seems a smart move. So does being thorough, as you suggest. Not how I normally do things, but this house...well, this whole area, really, it's beyond the pale. Something's not quite right."

 

[Yavathol]

"The reason is because I don't know what that thing was, my tutors mainly emphasised history and heraldry - that means those family insignia you see on shields," Wergil condescended to Farshid.

"Anyway, it was some kind of ghost, or restless spirit, maybe the babies mother, since I saw it starting at the crib.. Which now I think of it, does make me think we'll find a dead baby in there.."

 

[Yavathol]

After pausing for a moment, he continued, "You know, I'm really starting to consider burning this whole damn house to the ground!"

"We could just leave." Girri mused. "I don't suppose you tried that?" She was quiet a beat. "I don't remember why we're here in the first place, to be honest. Something about a pair of kids outside in the square, and maybe a monster in the basement. But we never found a way down?" Blue eyes looked up at Wergil. "If we can't go down, maybe can go out?"

OOC: Yeah, I know. We're likely locked in here, like rats in a maze. But, honestly, have we tried to exit? Maybe after we clear out the top level (which, definitely, in the interest of being thorough, we should do first) we can try the front door before we make a more thorough search of the ground floor.

OOC: I think we can exit fine, but the mists offered no where else to go. There were children, and we were seeking a basement, but sure -- we can leave as far as we know.

Posted pre-rest.

[Kasimir] turned away and glared at the nursery door. Mr Aldershot's strange words when he was barely conscious... Kasimir wasn't sure what to think of it. However, he didn't need much encouragement from Wergil to check out the nursery. He stepped up to the entrance and pushed the door open. His grip tightened on his sword.

Seeing Kasimir's impatience, Wergil rushed over to his side, ready to provide support when the door was opened.

The nursery is a small room, with only a crib situated behind a hanging black shroud. The drape is parted enough to see a baby-sized bundle lying in the crib.

Kasimir


Kasimir strode into the room and brushed aside the black shroud. He stared down at the baby-sized bundle then looked over at Wergil.

"Mr Aldershot was muttering something about a baby when he lay half conscious." Kasimir turned his head towards the door. "Mr Aldershot!" He turned back to the bundle again then sighed and reached out to unwrap it enough to see its face.

[sblock=Kasimir]You peek inside the bundle... and there's nothing. It looks as if its just a blanket rolled up and into itself.[/sblock]
