Upstairs library Wednesday November 29th, 2006 11:19:42 AM
The upstairs library yields little else. However, some finds one book that details the area and terrain surrounding Little Notting, lake and outlying places.
The book is some sort of journal, but the writting is in a fine hand, in tidy scrolling letters. There are no markings on the cover to indicate an owner.
The book dates to around 250 year ago, by Toothache's estimation, and talks about a church's centennial birthday and the arrival of clergy of Boccob to attend the festivities. It states that the entire village was in attendance at the church. The author writes about a sacrifice for the greater good and Boccob's warrior perishing for the cause. The author also speaks of treasure seekers disappearing in the area trying to find the Father's remains, but means of location were unable to detect them.
The moth flies away, out of Lenoir's sight. Seems it tired of teh game.
Gentian finds nothing (without a search check:)).
Calor Wednesday November 29th, 2006 6:19:53 PM
"We might need to go pay a call on that church across the way," Calor notes unhappily.

Lenoir afther playing with the with Moth, he lets it fly away. But he will express his view, "Now we are getting some where! Now the puzzle is starting to make sence! 250 Years ago is about the right time this curse started! Maybe we should look around this Lake?? If It still there??'
Drawback... Thursday November 30th, 2006 6:43:30 AM
Toothache speaks again. "I really don't believe that the church and the Elemental lords see eye to eye on many things... in fact, I know they don't. Boccob clergy aren't known for cooperating with outsiders."
Eclip and Spirit Thursday November 30th, 2006 10:04:55 AM
Eclip listening to the discussion adds his own thoughts, "Maybe the Fey's evil one is a good guy to Boccob? What we really need to know is what the evil one was trying to do with the nexus?"
Gentian's head aches. "This is too puzzling for me. So the curse started when this "sacrifice" was made? How do we reverse that?"
Have we gone through the whole house now? Maybe we should hit the graveyartd in the daylight.
Lenoir Friday December 1st, 2006 4:35:14 AM
Lenoir scratches his head, Then responds "Day light sounds better to Me??"
Toothache Friday December 1st, 2006 10:07:43 AM
"We should just finish up the job here that Doloff wants done. I don't see the need to ponder what the Gods are planning." Says the dwarf.

The dwarf turns to Gentian. "A sacrifice usually isn't a good thing to reverse. If you sacrifice a years wages to help orphans, would you want to reverse it?"

Relieved to see that the first floor has not come to any harm or mischief while the group was preoccupied by explore the ever exciting second floor, Eclip goes to search the bedroom. Taking his time to search it thoroughly.
Spirit accompanies Eclip.

Lenoir is running behind the Leader Breenna, "Your going too fast, you might miss something??"
Searching for explainations... Wednesday December 6th, 2006 11:34:11 AM
Ball Room - The furniture in this room is covered in white linen drop cloths, like the dining room.
Coat room - is filled with old hat racks, hangers, linens folded in boxes, and several old dusty coat covers.
Empty room - is empty. Nothing to search for or in.
Sitting Room - The furniture in this room is also covered in white linen drop cloths.
Den - Fluffy leather chairs and a few tables are here. A few novels sit on the side table.
Antique Room - Doloff's antiques are wall to wall in this room. You can't move very easily in here without hitting a shin or kneecap, or stubbing a toe.
Doloff's Bedroom - Doloff's bed is an antique four-poster with silken hangings. Most of the furniture in Doloff's room seems to be made from yew wood. The four poster is arranged within the center of the room, with several other tall pieces stacked atop it in graduated size, largest to smallest, the hangings in shreds.
Eclip notices that much of the furniture is made of the same type of tree. (two d20 rolls from each of you please. No, these are not search, spot or listen checks!;))
As for the time, it seems that the entire day has slipped into night without anyone noticing. Its roughly eight o'clock and is darkening. The moon is brighter than the previous night.

After searching all day, Eclip regroups with the rest of the party to discuss any findings. "I'm beginning to think we are hitting a dead end with this house. Is there anywhere we haven't searched yet?"
Spirit sits and licks his paws.
Calor Wednesday December 6th, 2006 9:20:40 PM
"Just the basement. Toothache saw something down there before all the rats attacked."
Calor ponders a bit.
"I can stock up on Sleep spells tomorrow morning. Maybe it'd keep all the rodents asleep long enough to check it out."
The wizard does not sound very convinced his idea will work, though.

Lenoir d20+6=26 d20+6=17 Friday December 8th, 2006 6:19:46 AM
Lenoir will readies himself to go down, "Alright I'm ready! Give me the sleeping pills!"
As he goes down the stone steps, he throws the pills like chicken feed and Look around at all the walls.

Eclip and Spirit Friday December 8th, 2006 9:27:14 AM "Lenoir, you might want to wait until morning, when Calor can memorize and cast his sleeping spell. I can also memorize some spells to help get past the swarm of rats."
Spirit also sneezes from the dust.
Toothache Friday December 8th, 2006 11:27:40 AM
"What now leader?" Asks the dwarf.
Lenoir Saturday December 9th, 2006 4:31:23 AM
"You know,Eclip! That is a very good Idea!" answers Lenoir,"I think I like your idea!"
Lenoir will wait.
Breanna Sunday December 10th, 2006 11:14:02 PM
When she hears toothache say he thinks he saw a door breanna decides to check for one last time. "Ok, lets give all the rooms a second check and then eat dinner and get some rest before tackling the rats again."

Eclip helps check any rooms on the first floor that need it with what time is left during the day. Spirit follows along.
Lenoir Monday December 11th, 2006 1:29:07 PM
"OK! I'm ready to go into the cellar again but not before I get those Sleeping Pills!" Lenoir said fermly.
Cellar... same as before Monday December 11th, 2006 7:13:00 PM
No rats. Just crates.
Take 20 if you like.
Calor Monday December 11th, 2006 9:09:06 PM
The wizard shakes his head. "Spells. SPELLS. Not pills. Sheesh...."
He looks around the basement cautiously, proving to himself he's not about to get gnawed to death by a horde of nasty little beasties.
"Where d'ya think all them rats went?"
Finally convinced he'll be OK, Calor starts looking over the wall Toothache was staring at the last time down.
[Search 23 - take 20]
Eclip and Spirit Tuesday December 12th, 2006 10:00:33 AM
Just as a precaution, Eclip will cast two Hide From Animals spells that will effect everyone, before the group searches the cellar.
Spirit remains at Eclip's side.
Hey look, a door Tuesday December 12th, 2006 12:07:53 PM
Calor sees where Toothache spotted the door. Only the corner is visible behind crates and crates piled high. The door would not be obvioous to the mundane eye.
"Thought so." The dwarf points to the stoneworked door. "Good work on it too. No one could have seen it if another crate was there. This is a new one to add to the Manor's list of oddities." Toothache seems almost excited. "I still don't think we should point around anymore. What was the mission? To find out what is going on? The fey are messing with Doloff and from the sounds of it, the past owners too. Shouldn't we leave well enough alone?" Suggests the dwarf.
The occassional rat passes over foot and crate.
Gentian Tuesday December 12th, 2006 4:00:03 PM
"The mephit that sent us here said we were to help the village. I just don't feel that we have been much help so far. That said, let's at least check out this secret door."
He rides his dog, lance ready.
Lenoir d20+6=23 Tuesday December 12th, 2006 5:29:18 PM
Now this fighter is getting a little tirsthy, You know dry in his gollet?? As he goes over to the door. "Does anybody have any water to drink?" Lenoir ask as he look over the door.

Calor Tuesday December 12th, 2006 7:34:30 PM
The wizard give Lenoir a look. Rather odd thing to say he thinks.
"Um," he adds in a distracted fashion. "I'm with Gentian. Lessee what's back there."
Eclip and Spirit Wednesday December 13th, 2006 10:14:11 AM
Eclip nods in agreement with Calor and Gentian, "Yes the Frey are messing with Doloff, but we still don't known what could happen during the coming full moon." Eclip helps move the crates from in front of the door.
Spirit stands guard.
Toothache Wednesday December 13th, 2006 11:50:51 AM
"Didn't they say something about a celebration. Maybe they were planning a big hoax on Doloff?"

Eclip looks at Toothacke while he helps move boxs out of the way, "I don't recall anything about anyone planning a party, what make you think they are going to play a hoax on Doloff?"
Toothache Thursday December 14th, 2006 2:36:31 PM
"Those tricky blighters seemed to avoid the subject of the moon or these 'Others'. Simple deduction really. They don't want him here and he's 'bout ready to pack it in. This could be the last straw for him if it goes ahead... thats all."
Eclip and Spirit Thursday December 14th, 2006 4:14:10 PM
Eclip looks puzzled by what Toothache said, "Are we taking about the town's people or the fey?"
Gentian Thursday December 14th, 2006 7:35:10 PM
The halfling does what he can to clear the way around the door and make a space to let it swing open. Then he gives it a yank. Or a push.

Lenoir will tell the others that the door swing the other way, then goes back to the party.
Calor Tuesday December 19th, 2006 10:14:04 PM
"The other direction?" Calor shakes his head in exasperation. The man takes a big breath.
"OK then. If we were on the other side of this door, one floor up, where would we be? Maybe we can just go upstairs and knock a hole in the floor to get to the other side."
Lenoir Wednesday December 20th, 2006 3:59:27 AM

Eclip looks at the group, "We've searched the house as much as we can. I say we take Toothache's advise and go tell Doloff what we have found out. As for what he should do, I guess its up to him."
Spirit wags his tail in agreement.
Gentian Thursday December 21st, 2006 9:32:19 PM
Gentian agrees with Eclip. The only thing he adds is this: "Maybe we should check out the graveyard before we see Doloff."

Lenoir had stop on one of the step on his way up when has something in mind "You know! I would like to try something before we give up here?? there's just a out line of a door? No Levers? No Buttons? Nothing to open that door with!
What I would like to do is push in the door with all my strenth?? Just to see if something moves?" Lenoir thinking out loud.
The fighter moves back to the Door, then puts his shoulder in the middle of said door. "Well ! Here goes nothing!" Pushes with all his might!
