Resurrection City III: The Breconshire Horrors

[JimAde]

Diggory follows Walsingham, poking his head into rooms, just to make sure that everything's okay. "We have a tendency to end up poking through old houses and manors, don't we?"

"Indeed," Trevor says. "It's getting to be something of a hobby."

 

[Jarval]

"Eminently practical, as always," Trevor agrees.

"One of the hazards of making medicine one's profession, I'm afraid." Richard says with a smile as he follows after the Baron.

"Here's a room," Richard calls as he pokes his head into one room.

"The ceiling seems intact enough," Langan says, examining the plaster. "Only one bed, though. We'd best head upstairs to search for others." Heading down a hallway towards the stairs, he pokes his head in another door. "A library," he says, withdrawing his head and closing the door. The men mount the stairs.

After a few moment's search, you find four more bedrooms on the second floor. One is a master bedroom, and is the only one sporting a closet.

Langan removes his gold pocketwatch from his pocket and pops it open. "Six-thirty," he says.

 

[Jarval]

Richard looks into each of the bedrooms in turn, examining them for any hint of damp, damage to the ceilings, or signs of animal inhabitation.

Langan removes his gold pocketwatch from his pocket and pops it open. "Six-thirty," he says.

"Bah!" Trevor says irritably. "We really didn't think this out very well did we? I don't relish facing a night here with no dinner and no prospect of breakfast. What say we walk back to town and get some rooms? If necessary, I'm sure we can persuade someone to let us sleep in their barn for a few shillings. If nothing else we can at least get something to eat, then come back here."

 

[Old Fezziwig]

Diggory nods. "I'll second Walsingham. This really won't do." He looks at Langan, waiting for a response. He's a wee bit keen to sleep here, isn't he?

OOC: I'd like to try a Sense Motive check on Langan.

[Sense Motive, roll of 12 on d20, +2 unskilled, total 14]

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

Richard pops in and out of the upstairs bedrooms, checking on the rooms' conditions. Two of them are questionable - a bit musty-smelling - but the other two seem alright.

Trevor and Diggory voice their opinions, and Langan nods. "And no way to get food out here. Only space for three, at any rate, so this wouldn't work. I agree with the good Baron. We'll go back into Partrishow, we can head out in an hour or so. For now, let's search around the house, shall we?"

Langan does indeed seem to want to stay at the house, but there's something else, like he's anxious about something.

 

[Old Fezziwig]

Diggory looks at Langan for a second, pondering. Then he nods and continues to search the house. If he gets a moment where he can do it discreetly, he'll pull both Richard and Walsingham aside and tell them about his analysis of Langan's current temperment. He will never let the young man out of his sight if he can help it without being obvious.

 

[JimAde]

"Very well," Walsingham agrees. "I suppose we should have a peek around the cellar before it gets dark." He heads off in search of stairs down.

 

[Jarval]

"I agree. Let's go down to the basement, then make our way back to the town." Richard follows after Trevor and Langan, relieved that he'll be spending the night in less deserted surroundings.
