Misira stands, “I’m with you Sharone, let’s go check this out” And she follows Sharone out the door

"Ah a treasure hunt then?" Lyreth grips her warhammer and goes outside, and looks for some clue of a prize.

"I suppose the front porch is to the south of us" Wrenn points to area 1 on the map.

Then follows.

The board doesn't respond to any more questions before you head out through the front door and out onto the porch. At this point, the mists have drawn in around the house hiding the outside world from you. You can not see more than a yard away from the house.

The porch creaks as you begin walking across it. It is covered in dead vines and you see earwigs crawling through the floorboards. It stretches out to the right to the tower, but on the left it reaches around down the side of the manor.

Wrenn starts tapping around looking for a trap door or something 26 he works his way down the stairs.

Upon exiting the manor, Bigan would frown at the sight of the horizon being nothing but dense mist.  "Well, I guess we're stuck here for now."  He says, somber.  Traveling down the steps and seeing the disarray of the porch.

Crawling on his hands and knees he'd attempt to feel for the loosest floorboard and attempt to yank it up from the porch with his barehands.

Misira heads down the front stairs and looks to see if there is a way under the porch next to the stairs

Sharone heads on with Misira, going down the stairs on the left side.  

Wrenn begins looking for a trap door as a way of getting through to beneath the porch but finds no secret entrances.

With Wrenn failing in his search, Bigan attempts to break the boards of the porch with his bare hands to no avail. It looks like the boards would have to be broken with a weapon of some sort.

Then Misira and Sharone being the search for a way underneath the porch. Unfortunately, the sides of the porch are also boarded up offering no easy way underneath.

Misira sees that this is more of a puzzle than she had anticipated.  She goes back up on the porch, pulls out her dagger and tries to use that to make a hole in the porch.

Attack: 13 Damage: 5

Misira swings her dagger at the porch. The blade of the dagger strikes through the boards causing a crack.

 Lyreth knows this game! She helps to break the porch.

Warhammer smash! Attack: 20 Damage: 10

Bigan would pause trying to pry the boards with his hands to watch his allies attack the boards.   "Well, I did try!"  He'd smile and give a chortle before slamming his greataxe into the boards.

Greataxe Attack:  14    Greataxe Damage:  8

Lyreth swings her warhammer and it comes down with a crash as the boards give away from the impact. When Lyreth pulls her hammer up, it leaves a five-foot-wide hole.

Looking into the hole it is dark and gloomy. However, the light from the manor shines through and damp muddy ground can be seen below. Crawling across the ground and through the grass, earwigs can be seen.

Bigan then swings with his greataxe causing more damage to the porch.

"Anyone a fan of earwigs?  Yuck.." Misira says as she reluctantly climbs in the hole.  "Let's see what we have down here." And she casts Light on her quarterstaff to get a better look around.

Perception: 8

Sharone helps Misira, starts to dig, swatting aside the earwigs.  She helps Misira look for anything in the area.

Bigan would assist with the digging.  In-truth he was fairly good at it after many years of hard labor.

Misira climbs into the hole but finds that she is too big to look squeeze down under the porch. The hole is not wide enough for either Sharone or Bigan to join Misira.
