Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh (This is the Game Thread)

[Jenara]

The gap is wide enough to jump.

Its about now the group realise that Gundum is nowhere to be seen.

[Breila]

"Wait a minute! Where is Gudrum? Vee, have you seen him?" Kim asks after recovering from the near fall.

[Robbo]

"Very nice, Kim. I didn't know you had it in you! As for the hole, I suppose we could try and jump across, but if the floor on the other side is in the same condition, we might be in trouble. Too bad that halfling skipped away on us, we could have used him to test it out for us..."

Visions of tossing the hapless Gudrum pass through Gunters' head

Searos comes slowly up the stairs. "Told you we couldn't trust the little ironically named bastard."

[Jenara]

Brax climbs the stairs slowly, after checking around for the Halfling, Vee following.

"He was here, he just vanished when the Rats came, I saw him in the rooms below, and then he was gone." Vee responds to Kim as she climbs the stairs, shaking her head.

"I do hope he is ok...." Brax adds with a frown, "Which way now....?" She asks looking at the fallen landing.

((Breila would you like to take over Vee, just until Luna gets time to post once more? Check its ok, or I will NPC her for the time being... Please let me know later))

[Robbo]

Standing at the top of the stairs, Gunter looks down the hallway to the right.

"Well, should we try and check out the part of the house we can at least get to first? Once thats secure we can try and figure out a way around or over that weakened floor"

[JadedDM]

"A good idea," Amon comments. He walks to the nearest door on the right and swings it open, looking inside to make sure it's safe before entering.

[HorizonsDream]

Echo's eyes widen as she watches Kim narrowly escape falling to her death. She shakes her head before turning her attention back to Gunter and Amon. "He is going to get himself killed doing that," Echo says in annoyance as Amon opens boldly opens the next door. As for her, she stays behind Gunter for the time being.

[The_Muffin_Man]

Searos peers over Gunter's shoulder at Amon and at Echo's comment mutters to himself "better him than me..."

[Breila]

For the moment, Kim stays behind, recovering, rearranging clothes and backpack and checking the dagger is still in the ornate sheath at the belt.


(ooc: Luna is incredibly busy right now, hardly home at all except to sleep, things will get better day after tomorrow)

[Jenara]

(Inspecting stuff on the Eurotunnel right now. Will post at lunch if i get time! Otherwise this evening without fail.)

[Jenara]

Amon, opening the door to the first room amon notes it is dirty and decayed. The floor boards are intact but piled high with rubbish and what appears to be dead rats...

Cobwebs line the walls, with numerous small spiders visible, approximately 3-4 inches in diameter.

On the floor in the rubbish is a glint of what appears to be a small shiny object.

[Robbo]

Gunter sighs, "Looks like more of the same in this one."

He scans the rubbish and seeing the glint turns around to Searos.

"Think that could be the lost treasure horde?"

[LittleLuna]

Vee had been thinking about the problems with rats in this strange country. (At home she had one as a pet!) but is waked up by Gunter, saying the "magic word":
"treasure?" Vee pushes the others away to get a look on the shiny thing. "where?"

(ooc:I'm sooooooooooo sorry that I can't post enough, I promise it'll go better next days! autumn holidays come, so I can post every day)

[Jenara]

(Sweetheart, don't be silly, the game is still here, I kept her moving for you. )

The multiple people pressing at the old ruined door frame cause it to creak and groan.
Looking closer the group notice that the shiny object is located near a fireplace, it is impossible to see what it is from this distance.

Brax stands silently near the collapsed landing, she seems genuinely scared, her body shaking wildly.
