"Nothing here in this room." Kamea stated. She left the room and decided on another room. "Let's check the lounge."

Room C

Vahan grunted and nodded, stepping into the lounge with weapon in hand. The taste of fetid water still lingered in his mouth, and the stench on his skin, but at least his clothes and armor were clean. It was the small things.

Will lead the way, if it matters.

Phelar held back a moment and looked towards Amara as she followed along beside her. "Are you feeling okay? You just look..."

The group passes through the doorway into what appears to be a lounge. The leather of the room’s two large chairs seems mostly intact, but stuffing covers the ground beneath them and has been strewn about. Broken glass glitters on the floor, and a low table lays on its side, the drawers from a small cabinet on the ground beside it. A draft from a broken window stirs the moldy drapes, and a crooked painting of a sailing ship at sea bears a lengthy rip through the canvas.

"Nothing." Kamea announced once she saw the lounge. "Let's check the next one." She emerged from the lounge and entered the sewing room.

Room B

Sagging shelves, one of which has partially pulled free from the wall, line the walls of this room, set with spools of thread, boxes of needles, moldy scraps of cloth, bolts of decaying fabric, and various types of shears. A round box of soiled yarn rests on a worktable along the north wall, and a dress form lays propped in the corner.

As the party enters they hear a soft weeping sound on the edge of their hearing. Then all the items start vibrating, first subtly and then quite visibly as they start to jump and dance back and forth as if there was an earthquake that only the needles and thread could feel.

Tanu bringing up the rear with Vahan taking the lead, "More ghosts...."

"Whoa, whoooa. Easy there Sir Roderic." Kamea said in a comforting tone. "We're looking for the clues you mentioned. If you want us out of here sooner. You can hand over the map, key and everything else and we'll be out of the way."

The Dwarf held forth his hammer as it to ward off the ghost, but said nothing. He waited for anything else to manifest that required smashing, and barring that simply waited, inspecting the room for anything worthy of note.

“Yea; just because I can handle nasty jobs doesn’t mean it won’t make me feel sick.” Amara chimed to Phelar as they walked and until they stumbled into a haunted room. At least no swarms this time though it did make Amara thankful for her set of magical blades. She drew them both cautious for any surprise attacks.

She laughed a little bit at Amara's answer. "At least you are not someone who can barely perceive her own nose. Only reason I'm even here and not starved to death in the hole in the dwarven ruin I was dillying in was because Vahan heard me singing." Then she laughed again. "Out of tune too I might add. Point is, we all have our things. I'm like a squirrel when it comes to old shineys and places, so you the likelihood of me falling in a hole is well....yep."

The rattling grows louder and then like a whirlwind the objects start whipping around the room. Clouds of needles and scissors swarm all around and the party is quickly overwhelmed.

Amara takes 7 damage
Kamea takes 7 damage
Phelar takes 6 damage
Tanu takes 9 damage
Vahan takes 5 damage.



The cloud whipping around doesn't look like it is dispersing anytime soon.

"OWE! Who pissed off the ghost this time!" She cried out as she looked around the room.

[OOC: Detect Magic. She detect any?]

Are you staying in the room in the middle of the whirlwind of sharp objects? How long are you going to concentrate for?

Amara steps out of the room with a cry of pain, she is definitely not a fan of swirling vortex's of pain and death. She can try to detect magic from outside the room tyvm.

Tanu tries to get out quickly.

[OOC: From what I understand you only need one round to detect magic, but more to Read the Aura (I don't have that spell mind you.). Since I'm just Detecting Magic, just the one and done. Then leave.]

Kamea took a defensive stance. But when she noticed that her companions were leaving, she rushed out after them. "Ouch, ouch, ouch."

Thankfully the storm does not follow them and once they leave it quickly dissipates. Phelar detects faint traces of necromancy before the storm disappears and with it the magical energies. Yet another spirit that has not found its final rest.

"This looks like the master bedroom." Kamea entered through the door. "I think we hit jackpot!"

E - appears to lead into master bedroom

"It's better then the whirlwind room I hope, I sensed faint necromancy before the storm disappeared and magic in there." She said with a soft sigh.

"Normally I'm the one stabbing people, I prefer not being on the other end. Tsk."

More and more Amara dislikes this place.

The party enters what looks to be the master bedroom. A moldering mattress lies amid a bowed wooden frame, flanked on either side by ruined tables. A dresser in the northwest corner of the room has seen most of its drawers pulled out and discarded on the floor. Remnants of moldy and animal-gnawed clothes spill from them. A hole has been hacked into the floor, near a long, slender wooden case that is open and tipped over on the floor.

Suddenly the walls start dripping water and it pools unnaturally deep along the ground.

Up from the water comes Roderic's ghost once again.



This time though he seems more controlled and more focused.

"My map. They took my map. It holds the key. To the vault. Baraket will control them. It will control you! I should have taken the gauntlets, but I fled. I was a coward. You must be brave. You must endure where I did not. The vault. It lies still in the vault. You must save my Cove. Save. My. Cove."

"So someone took your map? Who?!?" Kamea asked the ghost of Sir Roderic. She hoped that the ghost wouldn't disappear on her. She urged Roderic, "We want to help you, but we don't know who took your map."
