Valley of the Dead: Chapter 2 "Home of the sleepless"

[Scotley]

Geryk takes out another wand and calls forth its power. A golden glow begins to emanate from from him lighting an area 30' around brightly and casting dim light twice that far. Slipping the wand away in its sheath he suggests trying one of the doors. "Could the inhabitants of this house have been some of the poor unfortunates in the barn? Beastly."

OOC: Light of Mercuria duration 30 min. or until he uses it to blast undead.

 

[Zerith]

Zinerath was getting used to being covered, even if he was not enjoying it; being fatigued from the fight did not exactly make him enjoy it any further.
he moved to door closest to him, readied his weapon, just in case, and then, if the door was closed, opened it with his boot before moving into the room to investigate.

OoC: he has 60' dark vision, btw :3

 

[Shayuri]

"Most likely," Mei-Ying opines as she cautiously trails after some of the doughtier members of the group. "Undeath strikes like a plague. First one...then everyone in a house. It can take whole villages if left unchecked."

 

[Myth and Legend]

With everyone still behind, the demon child rushes forward and kicks open the first door on the right. It turns out to be a children's bedroom. It has two small cots and a baby carriage, all empty. The window is barred with iron bars, but light shines trough it otherwise. The room shows no signs of a struggle, apart from some woolen blankets that have been thrown to the floor. There is a wooden figurine of a knight on on one of the beds and a rag doll on the other.

The furniture is modest - a wardrobe, two small dressers and a flower pot that has a blooming red crescent plant in it.

[Scotley]

Geryk enters and utters a small prayer in a sorrowful voice for the lost children. He picks up the blankets and places them on a bed to be sure nothing is underneath.

 

[Myth and Legend]

There is nothing beneath the blankets. They are sized for children and are thus unsuitable for adults.

 

[Scotley]

Geryk places the blankets reverently on the beds and suggests inspecting the next room. "What else might this house of horrors hold."

 

[Shayuri]

"Nothing too horrible yet," Mei-Ying remarked. "Maybe they were all forced to move to the barn for some reason. One more door to check, then we move on."

She gave Zinerath, who appeared to have taken on the mantle of 'door-kicker-downer,' an expectant look.

 

[Zerith]

Zintherath was starting to get used to the whole ‘covered in stinky undead gunk’ thing and was geting back to his unusual self, he peaked over to Mei-Ying, grinned, and then went over to the door and, politely, opened it, but assuming that the door would not open it, he would break it down, with an open palm.
He would then , while holding his scythe in his left hand, bow and usher her into the room with his right, before going to the apposing door, sundering it to pieces violently with his scythe, and then searching the room.
