The large house is set atop a six-foot-high stone foundation, and the main entrance has a balcony above it. Pumpkins grow wild in patches around the manse, with several wild boars feeding among them. The boars snort with contempt as you draw near. &nbsp; Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Check the ground floor first make sure the basement is clear then go upstairs" Do we make bacon first? &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): granted they do seem to want to attack you at the moment more like sort of warning you not to go near them. there is ivy all around the manse covering the walls &nbsp; Roqar: If the boars dont attack leave them go inside &nbsp; Dolores: yes &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): ok as you enter you note the ceiling is 8 feet in height and flat. someone move a token where you wish to go explore. The walls are covered with crude drawings in blood that depict boars chasing stick-figure humanoids. A fireplace dominates the south side of the room, and a smashed wooden dining table lies in a heap in the eastern half of the room, surrounded by six broken chairs. Windows are 2½-foot wide, 5-foot-high apertures with wooden shutters but no glass. Those along the outside walls are covered with ivy Roqar is in the dinning room where you had taken the candelabrum and see the remaining stick figures of all in the party aside of Roqar. &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): sitting upon the mantelpiece &nbsp; Roqar: if they are still there not touching them &nbsp; Dolores: not touching them either &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): ok &nbsp; Roqar: North door &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): alright &nbsp; Roqar: 24 | 14 Thieves' Tools&nbsp; (2+0+4) Roqar &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): ok looks like you open the door! &nbsp; Roqar: Wait for whats there first &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): Nature has run roughshod over this kitchen, whose furnishings are wholly decayed. The outside door was broken down years ago, and rats have chewed holes in the bottom of the door leading to the west. &nbsp; Roqar: 4 | 17 INVESTIGATION&nbsp; (0) Roqar &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): ok, Roqar does not find anything out of the ordinary in the kitchen &nbsp; Dolores looks outside &nbsp; Roqar squats down and looks in the holes along the bottom first &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): you spot a couple more boars in more pumpkin patches ok, it's dark on the other side and you can't really tell what is in there! &nbsp; Roqar: 22 | 25 Thieves' Tools&nbsp; (2+0+4) Roqar &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): opening the door reveals a pantry: Much of the roof above this chamber has collapsed, leaving debris scattered across the floor. Birds have made nests on the wooden shelves that line the north and south walls. Rats long ago devoured anything they could reach, and all other foodstuffs have rotted away. &nbsp; Roqar: 16 | 14 INVESTIGATION&nbsp; (0) Roqar &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): Roqar did not find anything out of the ordinary in the pantry &nbsp; Roqar: 12 | 15 Thieves' Tools&nbsp; (2+0+4) Roqar East Door this time &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): that's just a window there Roqar! the shutters are stuck shut from the ivy Stone steps lead down to a flagstoned courtyard that has a pillared arcade to the east. Seven windows on the upper level overlook the courtyard, in the middle of which is a five-foot-wide stone well with thick vines erupting from it. there are no sounds coming from the south east like before. trying that door Roqar? &nbsp; Roqar: 21 | 24 Thieves' Tools&nbsp; (2+0+4) Roqar &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): she opens it to reveal the following: This room was once a bedchamber, kitchen, and dining room rolled into one. Four beds stand along the south wall, with shuttered windows and nightstands between them. Against the west wall are four wardrobes and a cabinet full of plain dishware and cutlery. Four chairs surround a small dining table in the northeast corner, and a trestle table strewn with pots and cooking utensils stands near a blackened fireplace. All the furnishings are made of wood. The ceiling in the southwest corner of the room has collapsed, filling the area below with debris and leaving a jagged hole through which the room above is visible.

Roqar: 15 | 13 INVESTIGATION&nbsp; (0) Roqar Check out the room &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): ok, Roqar did not find anything unusual in the room. &nbsp; Roqar: Can I climb up into the above room? &nbsp; Dolores: (oh my god did yuuki die) &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): where Dolores is now, is a dimly sun lit room ( from the window Dolores jumped out of ): What used to be some sort of laboratory lies in ruins, its furnishings broken and heaped against the walls. In the middle of the room, painted on the floor with mud, is a ten-foot-wide symbol depicting three lightning bolts joined at their tips. &nbsp; Roqar: (Yes she did) &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): oh yes, Yukki's body is still there, rotting away. looks to have been feasted upon as well. &nbsp; Dolores: nasty &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): ok i see you are at the north east door &nbsp; Roqar: 22 | 7 ACROBATICS&nbsp; (4) Roqar &nbsp; Dolores tries to open the door &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): ok, but how do you climb up to that hole? ok it opens for you Dolores This room has a ten-foot-high wooden balcony forming its upper level, reached by a wooden spiral staircase curling down to the flagstone floor. Tall, empty bookcases line the walls, their shelves mostly bowed and broken. On the lower level, east of two pillars, are four old desks with chairs tucked behind them. A few moldy books are scattered about. &nbsp; Roqar: its about 8 feet up 5 ft tall, jump maybe brace against the wall grab onto the pieces of the ceiling &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): ok, looks you can do that and have succeeded due to the low ceiling. hold on as i look for what you see up there Roqar.

Dungeon Master (GM): no so the doors open easily ok, as soon as roqar steps into the hallway, a stirge tries to drop down on her! but first the hall's description: The walls of this L-shaped hall are lined with closed doors and shuttered windows. Between them are hooks where decorations once hung. A fireplace along one wall has a large insectoid head mounted above it. Natural light enters through a hole in the roof at the east end of the hall. The floor beneath the collapsed roof is strewn with debris. Roqar notes the insectoid head is that of an ankheg. now to see if the stirge grabs her neck.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Dolores: poor roqar stop bullying her LOL &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): Blood Drain Stirge Attack: 15 &nbsp;|&nbsp; 17 Damage: &nbsp; 6 &nbsp;piercing Attacks: Roqar! The stirge attaches to the target While attached, the stirge doesn't attack. Instead, at the start of each of the stirge's turns, the target loses 5, 1d4 + 3, hit points due to blood loss. The stirge can detach itself by spending 5 feet of its movement. It does so after it drains 10 hit points of blood from the target or the target dies. A creature, including the target, can use its action to detach the stirge &nbsp; Roqar: If I had feelings... &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): Roqar managed to just barely bat the creature away! &nbsp; Roqar the Rogue, Attacks with the SHORT SWORD (2ft) at Stirge #01 enemy!
