searching trough the two rooms, cathern notices a rusty plumbing system on the storage. it is connected to a big barrel that holds a bad smelling water. there is a small crack on the metal pipes, leaking small drops of water on the ground, creating a small puddle of water. it seems to be the origin of the dripping on the ceiling. . .
there also seems to be a small, pink diary next to the puddle, partially soaked in water.
Lore wrinkles his nose at the thought of getting his hands dirty doing common labour. "We should hire someone to fix it," he says. "Or get a wizard with the right cantrip."
"Even with a leak, it will be drier inside than out." He looks back in the direction of the room Cat suggested was his, trying to determine if it is likely that the leak will affect it as well.
cat manages to pull the diary towards her with the board. when she opened it, she was glad to find that there was still a few readable paragraphs.
the first page reads:
"dear , hit me just because i a doll. . . says she is going to eat us. i am scared, will my knight in shining ar or scue me? in the books, the knight alw at the end of the story."
the second, third and fourt pages are soaked in water, making it unlegible. the fifth reads:
"at midnight, i saw the mean lady taking two g outside of the where is she taking them? they look happy. .."
the following pages are also too soaked to make out anything. however, the last page seems to be almost untouched by the water, and reads:
"i can't believe it! when i was trying to escape during the night, i saw a girl around my age! we talked for a bit and i was confused when she said she didn't know any evil witches. . . she said her orphanage was run by a good fairy that always took care of them. the "fairy" gave them food and confort, and after some time the children got "adopted". . .this is suspicious, they never saw the adopting parents. . . and i just KNOW that this. . . "fairy" is that evil lady that locks us up. i just don't understand why she is nice to those other girls . . . the girl was looking around because she heard someone crying (it wasn't me, i swear). the evil witch must be controlling her mind! i will bring her with me. if there is no knight to save me, i will be my own knight"
the diary ends here, with a bad drawing of a knight decapitating a green witch surrounded by smiling children was drawn.
lore realizes that the leak wasn't going to be a problem for his "room", only the lower layers.
After placing the diary in a safer drier place. She walks back to the barrel "I wonder how these pipes work? Does this place have a well?" She looks for a way to shut the water off. She even checks the barrel.
inspecting the barrel and pipes closely, cat notices a small valve in the pipe connecting to the barrel. it seems rusted, however, and will probably be kinda hard to move. . . (DC 15 strenght check)
Lore clears his throat when Cat finds the valve, "Forcing a rusted valve is not always recommended but if you wish to persist, the I will lend my strength, such as it is."
He removes his coat, hanging it over the door, then steps a little closer to help whoever tries to close the valve.
Cathern looks for a board to gently slide the diary onto to keep its weight from destroying itself. "Anybody know how to mend pipes?"
(damn, I wish I could use my spells)
“Maybe I could throw some fire at the pipes to melt it together.” Drux says with a shrug. “As for the attic rooms, I think either of them would be a bit stuffy for me. Would you need some help with that Cat?”
She shakes her head no at Drux's suggestion but says to him "Maybe?" and nods to Lore "Hmm, I'm going to try something first." She fishes out some oil from her pack and puts a few drops on the valve "Lets give is a minute. Then We'll try closing it." she puts the stopper back on the bottle puts it away.
(harrumph! This thread got buried in the notifications)
as cat puts the oil on the valve, after a few tries she notices that the valve is not as stuck anymore. with Lore's help, she manages to close it, with the dropping sounds ceasing soon after. it seems there's no more leaks, as long as the barrel remains closed
cathern opens the door to the library. Two large stained-glass windows shine light into the numerous shelves in the library. Desks line the south side of this room and old quills and shreds of parchment are scattered around the room. Sadly, only a few old dusty books remain on the shelves.
Drux gives over to the bookshelves to see what books are left and if any could be of value. “Just a few,” blowing dust off the cover as he takes one in his hands, “dusty books.”
some of the dusty books seem to be in good condition. there was a small variety of books. the one drux inspects has a hard, black and green cover, with an illustration of some hags surrounding a caudlon with crying children. the title is:
"Hags - The Wicked witches. Know your enemy"
it seems like a book explaining the various hag variety and covens
Lore stares at the book title for a very long moment, "Wise words indeed."
Picking it up, he flips though it briefly, "Perhaps some light reading for tonight?" He replaces the book but, if noone takes an interest in it, he will pick it up before leaving the room.
Cathern checks the area out thoroughly "Who wants the attic bedroom?" (rolled a nat 23 investigation in the chat,)
"We've gotta find that leak and stop it!"

"This is best left alone till later I guess."
She says to Drux "You said something about locked doors? Where at? I could try the keys and if that don't work we can work together as lock smiths."

“They’re back down a level before you came up to the attic here.”
"Well, lets explore!" Cathern says excitedly and heads back down stairs. She tries the door she is at first.
