Searos has gone back to leaning non-chalantly on the door jamb.

"Nope, no spiders. Lots more legs though. Also, we found a door behind a centipede nest."

He points behind the cupboard.

Echo absently steps on a few of the bugs as she backs away with a disgusted look upon her face. "Oh, just a small hoard of centipedes," Echo comments to Amon. "And according to Brax, there is a spider about the size of me in the well."

Deciding that she has had enough of insect fun, she walks into the next room. "Well, this room isn't much better than the last one, but at least there aren't any bugs...yet. Has anyone checked that door over there?" she asks, pointing to the door in question.

Kim looks at Vee, ice blue eyes locking into hers. "I hope you learn from this, Veeleyana. And learn quickly. All our lives may depend on it."

With this, Kim turns to the now visible door, checking once again for magic.

"Exactly what I was telling her less than ten minutes ago, Kim."

He turns to Vee, trying to hide his anger and appear calm. "Maybe now you'll be more careful, little one?"

He walks over behind Kim to peer over her shoulder at the door that he swore hadn't been there before...

After finding her coolness again Vee repeats: "I hope you learn from this! YES, I've learnd not to box harmless looking things. And I'll be more careful now. BUT" her eyes are balls of fire " YOU-SHOULD-NOT-CALL-ME-LITTLE-ONE!"

Than she recognize the door behind the dropped illusion. "Er, I think it will be interesting to see what's behind that door." she goes one step nearer to the door, but stops. "Oh. would somebody else open that door please? I don't want to know how big the next insects will be."

Gunter looks over his shoulder and regards Vee coolly, "We'll stop calling you that when you give us reason to."

He grins and winks at her before turning back to Kim and the door in question.

"Just give me the okay and I got this one."

(ooc: just to clarify, there are two doors right now? One in the.kitchen behind a cupboard and a fairly hidden one in the "living room"?))

(OOC: That's my understanding, yes.)

Kim nods to Gunter. "Go ahead."

(ooc: yes, there is a concealed door in the «living room» and one in the kitchen behind the shattered illusion)

Searos continues standing by the door jamb, regarding his finger nails and chewing on them a bit while cleaning out other parts with a dagger.

"Gods above, who needs a bard at the inn when I travel with my dinner show..."

(ooc: And now i have the map.... some tweaking will be required to fit what I have already posted.)

So far you have found the following: Kitchen ---- Pantry

Drawing
Room

(I have been rolling for the Half/Elves to spot secret doors, anything else, you have to announce you are "looking" for them.)
------------------

There are indeed two hidden doors, one behind the cupboard that now no longer seems to exist, in fact the longer Kim, Vee, Searos, Gunter and the others look at the cupboard, the more they start to believe it was never there in the first place, like the room is shifting slowly.

In front of them is a standard door, the frame is slightly warped, by the door is intact. There is no sign or evidence that the bugs were ever there.

Brax leans close to Vee, a smile on her face, "Do not worry my Dear I am sure you will get your chance."

When Gunter opens the door, a long corridor appears, going straight in front of him, cobwebs cover the walls, hang from the paintings that hang from the walls, no one has been here for a long time. Doors are visible straight ahead, one on each side of the corridor.

The corridor also branches to the left, surprisingly a door can be seen to the end, at the outside wall.

Amon steps through the door Gunter opened and looks around the hallway. "Oh, here we go. How very odd, though. Why would someone put an illusion to block the kitchen? Perhaps the old wizard who once lived here went rather mad," he muses. He heads south, Dogmeat in tow, and opens the door to the room right across the hall from the drawing room and looks inside.

Echo glances over her shoulder to see that she is really the only one in the living room. Turning around, she walks past the thief, and follows after everyone else that enters into the hallway. "When and if I ever get my own house, remind me not to design it like this," she says softly.

Kim follows Amon into the hallway (but not into the next room) and looks at the paintings. What do they show?

The paintings on the wall show people in various positions, some hunting, some dressed in finery, they all share the same appearance.. (Int check from Amon and echo.) As Kim gets closer she notes that the pictures were once works of art, probably worth quite a few gold pieces.

Amon opens the door revealing a once lavishly decorated dining room. A long table covers the length of the room, surrounded by a number of now frayed and rotting chairs. A small army of mice huddle in a corner causing Dogmeat to commence barking. His loud growl fills the room echoing through the open door and down the corridor..

Suddenly, before anyone can react, Kim and Echo feel a gust of wind thunder down the hallway. It lifts Echo's hair around her head.

'SLAM' the open doors shut suddenly.

Amon is trapped in the Dining room with the dog. Kim and Echo in the hallway. The others in the kitchen.


A ghostly figure of a young girl appears floating down the hallway. Her white dress torn, her hair ghostly white. She flies down towards the pair, who suddenly feel very cold, very cold indeed. (Save vs fear)

"Leave this place! Do not return!" the voice commands, as she flies through the pair, and vanishing through the door.

In the dining room, Dogmeat is barking like mad, figures appear at the table, flesh hangs from bone, clothing is in tatters. A man with a sword raises the blade, charging the mage suddenly."leave this place!" he commands.
