Its all in the Cards.

OOC:

Sorry for not being active the past few days. Getting my mom’s birthday prepared for, cake made, and everything except decorating done was a headache and a half of chaos.

Alyria stood at the bottom. Her desire to make sure that nothing in this hell hole existed still to ever haunt, curse, or torment another living creature too strong to see her ready to leave just yet. Not immune to the pain her fellow companion might be feeling, she looks to Eye of the Storm. "I do hope your face isn’t in too much pain. We shall see about all of us getting a healer or some form of treatment when we leave."

As soon as her companions returned down the ladder, she lead the way to one of the few areas they hadn’t seen yet.

OOC:

I’m down for the red zone.

OOC:

I am doing rthe next 2 rooms at the same time for this one. The 1st room (One with Table) doesn't have much going on. The 2nd room as quiet a bit more...

In the center of the room, a dimly lit chandelier hangs over a weathered table. Flanking the table are two weathered high-backed chairs, and atop it rests an empty clay jug and two dusty clay flagons. Unlit iron candlesticks stand sentinel in the corners, their wicks long gone.

Further down a narrow tunnel, a somber bedroom emerges. The chamber houses a large wood-framed bed, its feather mattress now decayed. A wardrobe stands beside it, holding old, tattered robes. Unlit iron candlesticks cast eerie shadows, while a crate nearby holds ancient torches and a leather sack with a handful of black candles. At the foot of the bed sits a wooden footlocker, and hanging nearby, suspended by a rope tied to a support beam, is a ghastly sight—a corpse with a noose tightly cinched around its neck.

OOC:

Green Circle is Footlocker. Red Dot is the hanging body.

Does the corpse hanging look familiar or is it just a skeleton?

Ashtar eyed the foot locker, then questioningly at Briar, then the foot locker again.

Without a word, but with a wary glance at the dangling body, Briar nods and moves towards the locker.

OOC:

Traps? If no traps, unlocking.

As Briar approaches the unlocked and untrapped footlocker, the rope tethering the corpse suddenly snaps. With a disturbing thud, the lifeless body crashes to the floor. However, to everyone's horror, the cadaver begins to twitch and convulse. Its lifeless limbs jerk into motion, struggling to stand upright, while the rope around its neck thrashes about in a frenzied dance of its own.

In both horror and frustration, Alyria moves to C3 to be directly in front of the reanimating corpse. "I think I am quite ready for this family to stay dead."

OOC:

Monster go first...

The undead's claws find a gap in Alyria's defense, ripping through her armor and gouging deep into her chest. Meanwhile, the noose from which the creature hung starts to animate, snaking towards Briar with an otherworldly intent. Wrapping around her throat, the noose constricts with an unnaturally tight grip, choking the life out of her as it tightens further with each passing second.

OOC:

@Kilikina 14 damage on you. I need a DC 10 Con Save or you are paralyzed.
@Redamancy I need a DC 13 Cha save or you take 7 damage or you are grappled by the rope.

Alyria;s heath on the chart is after taking the 14 dmg.
Briar's HP I think needs to be updated. I don't think it is 3hp. Everyone else's HP should be Correct.

Luck be with me… I’m gonna use my tarot card’s roll with advantage ability for this.

Alyria growls as she feels the pain of the deep slash. For a second, she feels her body lock up, but she pushes through it to slash her sword at the corpse.

It was all going to the nine hells again! Eye of the Storm pulled back his bow and fired at the dead man, hoping it would get it to release its prey..
