Artus watches Rose fly toward Lando and possess his body. "See... What did I tell you Lando. Respect the spirits." Artus shakes his head and turns his attention to the boy, "So Thorns, you say the house doesn't let anyone leave. Well what can we do to get out?"

Artus watches Rose fly toward Lando and possess his body. "See... What did I tell you Lando. Respect the spirits." Artus shakes his head and turns his attention to the boy, "So Thorns, you say the house doesn't let anyone leave. Well what can we do to get out?"
"Don't tell me who and want deserves my respect Bovine!" Lando snaps. The look on his face is that of surprise. "I had better go and see what Reggie needs."
Lando goes to see what all the fuss is about. "What's the matter Reggie?"
"Hold that thought" Lando goes back to the kids room and takes off his pack, then kneels down beside the skeletal remains of the kids.
"Let's see here", Lando picks up the skull of Rose and exams it. "Yup, this should do just fine. You have my head, and now I have yours." Lando places the skeleton of Rose in his pack, taking a look at Thorn every now and then. "I hope you won't mind Thorn, but your sister and I are going for a stroll."
Reggie holds out his arms to stop Lando as he approaches. "Lando," Reggie says with concern, "you've just been possessed. Do you ... feel okay? Or ... are you not Lando anymore?" He looks around Lando at the others. "I have some holy water. Should I dowse him in holy water?"
Thorn looks up at Artus and smiles. "Can we play hide and seek? That was my favorite game when I was alive. I would play with you. I can leave this room yes."
Artus smiles at the boy, "Sure. You go hide. And we will look for you." When the ghost leaves. He turns to the others, "This is no place to leave their remains, they deserve to be put to rest... Even if it has to be within this wretched house they lived in." Artus then scoops up the remains of the boy and heads off following Lando over to Reggie.

Reggie holds out his arms to stop Lando as he approaches. "Lando," Reggie says with concern, "you've just been possessed. Do you ... feel okay? Or ... are you not Lando anymore?" He looks around Lando at the others. "I have some holy water. Should I dowse him in holy water?"
"I'm feeling great, not that it's any of your concern!"
Lando rubs his temple as if he has a head ache. "Ugh, this little vixen has taken up residence in my head"
"You should keep that holy water least your flask runs out!" he laughs rudely.
"Comeon, let's see what you've found. We can deal with her later"
reggie brings Lando to the chest in the storage room and Lando with his expertise of dungeon delving and traps, gives it a once over and finds nothing out of the ordinary. "You're not going to like what you find in there." Lando says but when he says it his voice echos just a little bit."But it is safe to open"
There is no lock on the chest so Lando flips it open and inside you see the skeletal remains of the family’s nursemaid, wrapped in a tattered bedsheet stained with dry blood.
"That's where Mommy hid our nursemaid." Lando says with a slight echo.
Thorn's head pops out of the wall and he says "Mommy stabbed her more times then my brother Walter. Mommy didn't like her."
Thorn appears next to Artus and smacks him on the butt. "Tag you're it." He says before racing through the wall and out of sight.
Artus spooked by the slap to the ass let’s out a quick bellow. By the time he turns around Thorn is gone. “That kid sure can play huh... so what do we have... Ancestors bless this house! The atrocities that have been committed here!” Artus quickly says a prayer to his ancestors.

Back when everyone was in the room: Tilo looks askance at Lando as he berates the souls of these poor dead children, and nods vigorously to Artus' words, "Yeah Lando, you're being a dick." His eyes widen and he looks aside at the kids as if to make sure they didn't pick up on the inappropriate word.
When Lando gets possessed: Tilo goes into a combat stance, but relaxes when Andrei seems only as suspicious as he normally is. "Deserved it..." He mumbles under his breath before following the others out of the room and into the other one.
"Wow" Tilo says upon seeing the remains of the nursemaid, "Seems like this house was a horror show before it was haunted. Actually, what we've seen so far might be an improvement. "
Reggie looks over at the stairs and then back at Lando. "The monster is down these stairs, right?" At Rose's confirmation, Reggie looks at Tilo. "Lead the way?" As Tilo moves toward the stairs, Reggie closes his eyes, shakes his head and grimaces for a second before following the scout.
OOC: I imagine we'll descend in our usual order: Tilo, Reggie, Andrei, Lando, then Artus. Unless Rose makes Lando change position.
A narrow spiral staircase made of creaky wood is contained within a 5-foot-wide shaft of mortared stone that starts in the attic and descends 50 feet to the dungeon level, passing through the lower levels of the house as it makes its descent. Thick cobwebs fill the shaft and reduce visibility in the staircase to 5 feet. As you begin the descent down the spiral staircase you get about halfway down and Thorn's head appears from out of the wall near Artus and smacks him on the ass again. "Tag, you're it." and disappears through the wall with a laugh.
The wooden spiral staircase from the attic ends here. A narrow tunnel stretches southward before branching east and west. Once you hit the bottom of the stairs you hear an eerie, incessant chant echoing throughout. It’s impossible to gauge where the sound is coming from.
DUNGEON FEATURES
The dungeon level underneath Death House is carved out of the earth, clay, and rock. The tunnels are 4 feet wide by 7 feet high with timber braces at 5-foot intervals. Rooms are 8 feet tall and supported by thick wooden posts with crossbeams. The only exception is area 38, which has a 16-foot-high ceiling supported by stone pillars. Characters without darkvision must provide their own light sources, as the dungeon is unlit.
As the characters explore the dungeon, they see centuries-old human footprints in the earthen floor leading every which way.

Thorn begins to laugh as Artus speaks to him. He points at Lando but doesn't speak. He is having a giggling attack.

Andrei curses.
"Possession?" he whispers to Tilo.
"We must keep an eye on Lando for now."
And that's all I have to say about that.
Reggie holds out his arms to stop Lando as he approaches. "Lando," Reggie says with concern, "you've just been possessed. Do you ... feel okay? Or ... are you not Lando anymore?" He looks around Lando at the others. "I have some holy water. Should I dowse him in holy water?"
"Yes, funny talking cow, and funny possessed Lando. Can you come with us to play in the rest of the house?"

Reggie turns to Lando and addresses Rose. "Last night, we had an encounter with a specter. Was that your old nursemaid?"
Artus spooked by the slap to the ass let’s out a quick bellow. By the time he turns around Thorn is gone. “That kid sure can play huh... so what do we have... Ancestors bless this house! The atrocities that have been committed here!” Artus quickly says a prayer to his ancestors.

“Let’s illuminate this dreadful place”
lando casts light on his shield.
“Ah. Much better. Wouldn’t want to miss out on the fine decor down here”
Artus will gladly take the rear, keeping an eye out for Thorn as they continue to play tag.
“You said your mom killed your baby brother? That is a horrible thing to do. Must be what cursed this house.”
