The Haunting Gameplay

The blood slows to a gentle trickle. Then there’s a familiar banging upstairs.

Pointing his torchlight inside, Larry looks into the crawlspace that had previous been filled with rats. A few more cower in the corners, squeaking as the light hits them but not moving. Beyond the torn out boards is another wall, also made from solid planks of wood, not the natural stone of the rest of the cellar's outer walls. Scratched into the wood in irregular scratchy letters are the words:

"Chapel of Contemplation"

Secret Keeper rolls

Larry clutches his head and yells. something clearly attacking him.

Lukas pulls Larry clear, still standing. The voice in his head retreats.

Larry steps back into the crawl space, and wielding the crowbar Marc used, tears down the boards of the inner wall. Lukas assists while Karabekian watches from a safe distance, providing light.

Beyond is another room and lying motionless and seemingly dead on a pallet in the centre of the room is a drawn, wooden-looking, wizened figure of some six feet, skinny and naked., with ghastly wide-flaring saucerlike eyes and a nose like a knife blade. Some sort of chain rests around his neck. He has lost all hair and his shrunken gums make his teeth look very long. From him comes a sharp, sweet, churning scent, like rotten corn.

The floor is earthen and there is a table in the southwest corner with some curled papers on it.
