speak to him again you mean the caretaker or gunther? 🀣 I'm pretty sure someone can speak with the dead, but maybe it was Elias (who went to town both to delay the inquisition and be removed from the game, ut he can be finished by now πŸ‘ )
A quick reviews you have the 3 ladies, a petrified Roderick, Elias lokking for a 'library', something happening today, dead Gunther, and the witch hunt going on. Some of you got clues from Roderick's desk and there are also hints on eash other's skeletons.
By the why, since Roderick is gone, I switched Nathaniel's skeleton, so that's him trying to pick a bone

Nathaniel says:
"Claire, can you ask the Caretaker if any other staff fell ill or started acting strangely after your gradfathers petrification?"
Claire says:
"I can speak to him again."
I wonder who she might want to talk to again πŸ™ƒ

Do you mean Alexander, bowlofspinach? CESN, did the cat react when Alexander tried to call it over?
Alexander looks at the gravestone, trying to make out the name on it.

OOC:
I did mean Elias because I missed that he had left πŸ˜„ But let's say I meant Alexander

OOC:
@SavageBob Sorry missed the cat bit.
The cat stares Alexander as he makes the clicking noise, and then rubs the gravestone twice before stopping and meowing. Alexander turns to check gravestone to see it is ... indeed Gunther's!

You get a strange feeling of wrongness when you see Gunther's name. You see your shadow "jump" into the grave and when you look, all you see is the bottomless darkness.
OOC:
supernatural 3d6 check to stare back at the darkness! 1 success to resist it or to draw information from it (2 successes you get both)

OOC:
@bowlofspinach. I'll go with your curse here as it fits :D So going back to check with the Caretaker then?
Claire is suddenly overtaken by a sense of dread as she realizes Elias is not there. How could she have forgotten that her brother was... where was he? Ah yes! The Caretaker mentioned something happening in town he went to check.
OOC:
@crazybirdman Everyone seems to have responded well to that. You picked a bone and recover 1 die of your choice :D

Woohoo! I'll get a guile die back and be smarterer again!

Supernatural 3d6 check... Looks like 1 success? I can resist or get info. If I don't resist, does that mean I die?

ahah no you only die from too many curse marks. It will be just RPing how the darkness stares back at you 😁

This could come back to get you later though …

OOC:
OK, let's do that. Get some info, and stare down the darkness!

[ +- ] Haven't done on of these in a while :D
CESN sent a note to SavageBob
As Claire waits for Alexander so both can look for the Caretaker, she is surprised as Alexander losses balance, awkwardly falling on is back while staring motionless at the grave.
OOC:
Claire is waiting for Alexander to find the Caretaker and Nathaniel is waiting for Alexander to confirm who's the grave for right?

"Alexander!" Claire exclaims, rushing to her cousin's side, fussing over him and trying to help him back up to his feet. "What is wrong? Are you feeling ill?"
Apr 18, 2023 3:56 pm
Alexander shakes his head and squeezes his eyes shut to shake off the cobwebs of his mind. "What... What happened? Why am I in Nathaniel's grave?"
Apr 18, 2023 4:01 pm
OOC:
just a clarification for the others. This grave says Gunther (only Alexander read it so far) though there was another one with a Nathaniel (only Nathaniel saw it around the time his cruse triggered).

Alex reaction still fits the revelation.

OOC:
Ah, thanks for the clarification.

"You fell," Claire replies, not very helpfully. She continues to offer him her hand. "Are you feeling well?"
Apr 25, 2023 6:02 pm
Alexander accepts the hand up. "Not sure what came over me. I felt... a darkness. A powerful presence in there. It felt like a weight, like I had a weight on me and couldn't move from a curse. But then freedom like I was out of my body, roaming the manor, the city, too." He looks to his family with eyes uncharacteristically sad. "I think we're cursed, we Rookwoods. That's the root of what's been going on. This presence is at the bottom of it. I feel like there's an old pact we're expected to renewβ€”or break, perhaps." Alexander seems haunted by the revelation. He looks to the others for some reaction.
Apr 25, 2023 6:32 pm
"A pact?" Claire asks, looking at her cousin wide-eyed. She considers his words, then nods. "A curse, that would explain my... my reflection. Maybe also why you forgot I was with you out here last night." A small gasp escapes her lips as she realizes something else. "And it might explain what happened to grandfather. But what do you mean, renew or break an old pact? Made with whom? By whom?"
Apr 27, 2023 3:21 pm
"I wish I could say more, cousin. It was more of a feeling I had in there... But gods only know what our grandfather and those before him were up to." He shudders and gestures toward the house. "Maybe we'll find some answers in the library? Or maybe this cat knows something?"
