Eye of the Storm looks at Briar with confusion after he realizes she's addressing him.
"Wha? Rose? Did you take a knock to the head? Beats if I know, This is something city-people do."

OOC:
Going to help a bit. I think Khulod missed a message earlier.
After making that comment, a memory flies into Rose of the Storm. They explain that they kind of remember that each of the stone slaps is sort of like the doors to each of their families crypts. They can't remember which crypt belongs to whom...

OOC:
Sorry I’ve been absent for two days, got a sickness passed to me *huffs annoyed*. Let’s see if I can bring the strength to my favorite color, the green dot.
Having followed being her/his sister-companion, AlyThorn is eager to help as they realize this is nearing peace. "I can help here! This body feels really strong, I think I could even do three pushups!". With that, they walk up to the panel and press it.

@Kilikina Which doorway are you trying to open? I am going to assume the black one.

OOC:
The slab is not this thick. I couldn't find/generate a better image.
Try as they might the two of them can get the stone slab blocking the doorway to move...

OOC:
Are all the doors blocked by stone slabs?
Mar 21, 2024 7:53 pm
OOC:
I was trying for the green one, but I’ll take black too. Can I try a different spot with a new roll?
Mar 21, 2024 8:12 pm
OOC:
Each doorway that has a dot has a slab in front of it.
The black one is the only stone slab that does not have a plaque.

Yes you can roll for another slab. Let me know which color.

OOC:
Go for it Alyria, Ashtar will back you up.
Mar 22, 2024 1:07 pm
Realizing she went to the wrong door, AlyThorn goes over to the green door and tries to open it.

With the three of them working together they manage to pivot the slap and open the door way.
The stone slab is etched with the name Thornboldt Durst. The chamber beyond contains an empty coffin on a stone slab...

"That’s ominous." The room
Seemingly empty, Ashtar didn’t waste time, and moved on to the next doorway.
OOC:
Try to open the red door
Mar 22, 2024 10:04 pm
OOC:
Empty coffin … was this one of the doors that had a plaque or writing outside? Briar can’t help with moving stuff so she is trying to gather intel on which room is designated for which family member.
Mar 23, 2024 12:04 am
Working together, the trio slid the next slab open.
The stone slab is etched with the name Rosavalda Durst.
The chamber beyond contains an empty coffin on a stone slab.
OOC:
Yellow, Pink, Black, and White slabs not moved. No one has moved close enough to read the etched names on them.
Red (T) door has Thorn's name on it and an empty coffin.
Green (R) door has Rose's name on it and an empty coffin.

"This is... unsettling." They'd found both the children's coffins. "Rose, Thorn. These coffins look like they'd make good resting spots for you. Put your bones here, you can rest, and never be bothered with any of this ever again."
Mar 25, 2024 4:43 am
The fairy nods sadly and waves over the tabaxi. "Come, let's put you to rest. While waiting for Eye of the Storm to come over, Briar starts to craft two more mini-bouquets of white flowers, full of roses and tulips, lilies and orchids, accented with lavender and baby's breath.

OOC:
If I do not get a response from the other 2 by the end of the day I will move us forward and assume they place the bones in the coffins.

Eye of the Storm and Alyria both remove the small wrapped up bundle of remains from their packs. Going to the correct coffins the each carefully slide the lid open and lay the bones within.

Both of their bodies go briefly limp and their mouths open into a silent scream. You see a spectral mist pour out of their mouths. The mist forms into the ghostly shape of the young boy and girl. The ghosts both smile, wave, and then evaporate into nothing...
OOC:
@Khulod,@Kilikina You are both free from being possessed, and you lose the flaws you were given.
OOC:
Map So Far.
There are 4 Crypts you can still open. They require a DC 15 Athletics Check. Marked with Black, White, Pink and Yellow Dots.
The two paths you have uncovered so far are the Blue and Red Arrows.

Ashtar watched the scene with a melancholic gratitude. He smiled sadly and waved at the ghost children, then waited for his companions to return to normal.

"That must have been pleasant. Unless any of you wish to inspect the crypts, we should move on ahead."
OOC:
If no one wants to check out the crypts, Ashtar will go down the red arrow path.

OOC:
Sorry, life happened the past week.
Eye of the Storm shuddered as the ghost left him, restoring his mind to its proper state.
"GAH! That was. THAT WAS AWFUL!"
He stepped back from the crypt, brushing his clothes as if he was still covered in something before taking a few deep breaths.
"Gods, I need to get out of this hellhole!"
Mar 27, 2024 3:22 pm
With the group back to their normal senses the head down towards the next room.

There, they find a muddy dining room. This room is nothing like the lavish room filled with delectable goodies.
This table is laden with a grotesque feast of cannibalistic delights. Scattered across the old wooden table, you see a plate with a half-eaten human-sized brain; a larger bowl has a ladle and is half filled with floating eyeballs in a thick crimson liquid; on a wooden slab, there are a handful of human hearts, one of which has a carving knife stabbed in it; and a myriad of other bits of long pig.
All of the food is festering with decay and infested with legions of insects. The putrid aroma of rotting flesh hangs heavy in the air, mingling with the sickly sweet scent of decay. Gnawed bones and scraps of human remains litter the floor, a macabre scene of carnage and depravity that sends shivers down the spine.

When the party approaches the table the swarm of insects become agitated and attack...
