Chapter 1: Into The Mists

Skallagrimm, you feel the ghost flicker for a second as if almost deciding to leave you. Instead it decides to go with the group, following its sister very closely.

You proceed back up to the attic and enter the room with the hidden door. It appears to be a storage room, it is packed with old furniture (chairs, coat racks, standing mirrors, dress mannequins, and the like), all draped in dusty white sheets. Knowing what to look for you quickly find a small button that clicks open the secret compartment that leads to a staircase winding downwards.

As the group ascends, Kar'i'nas feels the strength of the connection in the back of his mind grow. His eyes turn to a pure silver sheen. "Does anyone have the ability to discern magic?"

The wooden spiral staircase from the attic leads down to underneath the house and to a narrow tunnel which stretches southward before branching east and west. As soon as you’ve descended the stairs you can hear echoey chanting coming from somewhere ahead, although the reverberating sounds make it impossible to tell exactly which direction it comes from.

You walk up to the branching path and try to discern anything in the dim light, but you still can't tell where the chanting comes from and you can't see where either path leads to, only that the eastern path has another branch as it has a path turning south and one that turns north a few feet ahead. The western path has open doorways on either side of the tunnel and seems to open up into a large room at the end.
