Echo stands up slowly once she is sure that the ghost is gone, and looks to Kim. "Fine, fine," she says, dusting herself off as if nothing happened. "You try the kitchen door, and I'll try the other door," she says as she moves to try to open the door that Amon and the others are stuck behind.

Amon attempts to force the stuck door open by throwing his shoulder into it. "Ow!" he exclaims, surprised by how much that hurt. He bangs on the door and shouts. "They're only illusions! They can't hurt you unless you believe they can!"

=====================

Amon makes an Open Doors check (1d20): 14

(OOC: Anyone who hears Amon say that can make a roll to disbelief with a +4 bonus now.)

"Oh.. Brax, you don’t look ok! Your head is bleeding... have you something to bandage it? And your hand.. it look like it hurts."

Vee sits up and look around. "The wine cellar, you say? I hope there are stairs to go up again to the others." Vee stops and looks like remembering something. "The others! Do you think they have to handle with Tentacles too?"

Kim raises an eyebrow, not liking to be ordered around. But as Echo's suggestion makes sense, Kim quietly turns to the kitchen door and tries to open it.

Searos looks back at Gunter pinned to the wall but doesn't move to help him for fear of being pin cushioned.

"Um... okay... I'll be honest. I did not expect that."

He looks back to the two men sitting before him.

"Look, I can tell you guys are passionate about this place. I personally don't see it, but hey, who am I to judge, ya feel me? But I am being honest with you. Did you know thats what they call me? Honest Searos. I swear! Moving right along, I heard people at the inn talking about it. They're getting a little annoyed at this place for being an eyesore, charming as it might be, and are tired of waiting for someone to do anything about it. So there's talk of burning it down. Me? I just think this place is a bit of a fixer-upper. Some new wood and new paint and this place will go from looking dilapitated to merely looking run-down! And really, isn't that what we all aspire to? Look, I'm not here to do anything to this place. I'm on your side, you see? I'm trying to get my companions to do as little damage to this place as possible. The magelings? They're a brash young lot. The elf woman? She's a sun lover. You and me? We probably both have no love for the sun, ya feel me? Come on now... put your trust in ol' Honest Searos. Everybody else does."

Amon, trapped in the Dining room is unable to move, Dogmeat sits in the corner, not moving to far.
----------

Kim tries the Kitchen door, pressing as hard as she can, but is unable to make it move no matter what she does.
1d20=18 = Fail
Echo tries the Door to the Dining Room, giving it a shoulder charge, the door wobbles, shakes, and even opens slightly, yet it does not move.
1d20=7 Almost a pass.

----------

Down in the Cellar Brax shakes her head, trying to recover her senses, she goes to stand, reaches her knees but collapses once more. "It appears that you may be correct." She says with a slight grin, [color]"I am Loth to use my spells, but."[/color] She reaches for the glowing Medallion, "Pelor, please give me your aid." The Symbol glows and her hand slowly rights itself, the cut on her head remains.

(Brax casts Cure Light Wounds)
"We appear to be stuck." She replies, the light covers the room slowly, revealing a human corpse in the center of the Room, clad in plate mail; a long sword lies by the
corpse's right hand and a large shield lies across the legs.
"Interesting..."

--------------
"You will leave this place!" The figure shouts again, repeating the words over and over, exactly the same way. Over the commotion Searos hears Amon shout, and suddenly he realizes they are not real, they shift, flash and vanish.
--------

The doors open suddenly, all around them, Gunter falls to the floor, blood seeping from the wound to his arm.

The Party are now free to move about the House once more.

Amon is surprised momentarily when the door swings open. Gesturing for Dogmeat to follow him, he steps back out into the hallway. "Is everyone all right?" he asks.

Searos starts and looks around very quickly, his arms out to either side and his knees bent like he is about to pounce.

"Wait, what? What in the hells was all that? I gotta say, ol' Honest Searos is now a big fan of the 'burn down the house idea.'"

He looks over his shoulder at Gunter, "Hey muscles, you okay over there?" Searos goes to help Gunter up, though, really given how big Gunter is, its really more of a friendly gesture.

Echo rubs at her shoulder absently, mentally lecturing herself about how she shouldn't ram into doors with her shoulder. "Yeah, I think we are all okay," she says. "What was all that about?" she asks curiously.

(ooc: What room are you all meeting up in?)

"Illusions," Amon says. "Potent ones, at that. Whoever made them is no amateur, that's for sure. Echo, go check on those in that room," he says, gesturing to the drawing room. "I'll see about the girls." He steps into the kitchen to look for Brax and Vee.

When Amon enters the Kitchen its a mess, one of the walls has collapsed along one side covering the floor with stones and rubble, the old wooden floor appears to be broken and splintered and patches of blood are visible all over.

Neither Brax or Vee are visible.

Echo lets out an exasperated sigh as she watches Amon walk off. "Who does he think he is to order me around?" she asks before she heads into the room where Gunter and Searos are. "Hey, you two okay in here?" she asks.

Amon comes to a halt at the sight. He kneels down and briefly attempts to dig through the debris, but then has another idea. Bringing the ring Daos gave him up to his head, he forms a mental image of Brax in his mind and attempts to project his thoughts toward her.

Brax, can you hear me? Are you alive?

(OOC: Which wall fell?)

(OCC: The Back wall, the one to the top of the map)

Suddenly Brax's Voice appears in his head: Yes, almost, we are in a Wine Cellar of some kind.

Vee is unharmed, I cannot see a way up as yet.
