I’ve lost power like 3 times in two days due to the snow storm by us. I’ll hopefully be up and running with a post this evening if not first thing in the morning!
I'm really sorry, I hope the weather conditions improve (more for your own good than for the game).
For the purposes of this house, we will be going back to initiative order. Additionally:
-it’s going to be important for me to understand a marching order if you all are entering rooms together.
-should you be investigating or perceiving something, let me know exactly how you’ll be doing that, whether it’s by looking, listening, feeling, smelling, etc as there’s quite a bit of sensory elements that will only be noticed if you explicitly state that that is what you’ll be doing.
-when opening a door, state your intention of whether you’re peeking inside or intending to walk through the threshold as certain elements will only trigger once you’re in the room, and I don’t want to be unfair or have to double back on something :)
I will wait until this evening for Radallion and Ansurs responses. if they do not respond by then, I will give them a default action and allow everyone else to continue to progress in initiative order!
In terms of marching order, Rufus would stick to the middle or the back, since he is a ranged attacker. In a situation where we are threatened from multiple directions, he would stay in the middle.
18 (High) Rufus: Foyer Investigation 18- investigating around the room, you see only signs of recent use, most likely by the doctor. 18 (low) Svetlana: Dialogue, Opening West door - Discovered: hallway 15 Rhykal: Dialogue, No action 11 Miralen: dialogue, opening east door (PERC 18)- Discovered: Sitting Room 4 Radallion: Dialogue, No action
No problem! “Rufus moves to the tables at the southwestern and southeastern corners of the entry hall, checking for drawers and attempting to open them.” Otherwise I only touched the armor and clutched the staircase banister. I wasn’t sure if investigation was needed at all, so I added “if needed.”

The action decided for Ansur does not make terribly sense to me... Instead of staying with the party... he just goes away - and hardly telling anybody anything? But oh, well, I guess there will be a reason (not pretending to be told about it, of course; just pointing out what seemed to me a strange behavior).
18 (High) Rufus: Cast light Perception 18 to track Ansur: Can hear footsteps 18 (low) Svetlana: Dialogue, No action 15 Rhykal: Movement, no action: Can hear footsteps 11 Miralen: Movement, Investigation 13 WIS SAVE 6: failed save 4 Radallion: Dialogue, No action
Well... I think we are still missing Radallion's post for this round... Waiting for him, before posting another Svetlana's turn (unless DM tells me I can go on).
Radallian, when we entered the house they were drinking tea from ceramic cups in the parlor. Going for tea will probably send you north back into the parlor with the professor.
Hey, apologies for any delays on my end — I’m visiting the family this weekend, so things are a little crazy here. Not sure exactly when I’ll have time to post, but please feel free to skip me for now in the meantime! (Rhykal would mostly just be following Svetlana to the open door and preparing for hostility for right now.)
@svetlana, when you say the left door, are you meaning the west door you opened that revealed the hallway, or are you talking about the closest door on the left that's in the hallway? Also, when you glimpsed the translucent figure, it was walking around the corner where the hallway turns right. so if your intent is to follow the spirit, you would continue down the hallway, and follow it to the right. (north)
Also happy easter folks! once Svetlana clarifies her intentions I'll update as soon as I can. Tomorrow is a holiday so no promises, but it will be my intention to check back and reply. Hope you all have a good day tomorrow!

Oh, you're right, sorry; I don't know why but I remembered wrong - I remembered that the spirit had passed through the door, but no, you're right, he turned the corner. Yes, Svetlana's intention is to meet the spirit, so no door, she will turn the corner too. I will correct the IC post immediately.
Oh no, sorry to hear that, I hope the weather calms down your way ASAP!

Understood, thanks!
New round, all 😌
The action decided for Ansur does not make terribly sense to me... Instead of staying with the party... he just goes away - and hardly telling anybody anything? But oh, well, I guess there will be a reason (not pretending to be told about it, of course; just pointing out what seemed to me a strange behavior).
Rufus will come back and pick up the discussion of the godly power of alchemy in another post. I ran out of time this morning :).
