Realizing that she has hit a dead end Penumbra gives up her search of the kitchen. Seeing the young girl in the next room Penumbra attempts to stay hidden in the gloom, fearing her appearance my frighten the child even more. Stealth 22
So far the child has not noticed Penumbra hiding in shadows. But such is the skill of the tielfing that a grown man within five feet could scarcely find her.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Penumbra takes a moment to get a good look at the room and the girl, and thinks over all that has happened since the group arrived at this house,
Investigation: 21
She then thinks back on all the knowledge she gained from her time spent researching the paranormal back in Baldur's Gate, and her experiences so far as a paranormal investigator, to see if there is anything here that might suggest paranormal activity.
A chill descends upon Penumbra's heart such as she has only experienced a few times before, and then only in the darkest of times. Unbidden, a flood of emotions surge their way through her mind, and she instinctively knows they are not from her or her companions.
Pain. Fear. Sadness.
And over it all, a terrible, aching loneliness.
A five-year old girl hardly has the capacity for such strong emotions. What manner of creature, then, could be experiencing such conflict?
I apologize for the delay. I replied to this post four days ago but I guess it was never saved.
The girl nods, satisfied, and begins to walk away, her doll tucked under her thin arm. Soon her flickering candle dissapears into the nether regions of the old mansion, and it is dark once again.
The mansion is three stories high, and a couple hundred metres in length. Once the grandest residence to be found for hundreds of miles, it is now in a state of disrepair.
Esano's light dances around the room, outlining the covered furniture and rotting walls. A dirty, carpeted hallway leads to what you figure to be the front door.
Penumbra steps out of the shadows. "I get the feeling we have just stumbled into our next job. There is a presence of some kind here. Something very unhappy, I believe that girl may be in great danger."
Walter still looks at the girl "yeah, I think we should meet the rest of this house recent owners and explain them that we just want to stay for a while and dry"
"Yeah let's do that. Say pen, you said there might be spirits here. Do you think we should explore the house then?" Nillis says as he turns to Penumbra.
"I think we should check out more of the house but I think we should be careful with the residents, we are breaking into their home after all." Esano looks in the direction the girl left in which contains the only other exit as yet untried. "I say we head this way carefully and quietly and see what we see. Something is strange here and I want to find out what it is.."

"Very well, let us continue to explore inside the house first then. Do any of you have some paper or something to write with? It is a big house and it may be useful to draw a map as we go." Penumbra says as she wraps herself in her cloak attempting to hide her wings, and uses her disguise kit to camouflage her horns (her horns curl back to the sides of her head sort of like Princess Leia's hair buns) attempting to make them look like hair buns under her hood. She then wraps her tail around one leg to keep it out of sight. Last she smears a thin coat of brown grease paint over the crimson skin on her face. The end result is to make herself appear to be a human woman, with poor posture, barring close inspection.

Nillis stands around and/or goes with the group.

And do you truly wish to find out?

Penumbra shudders, but remains quiet and hidden so as not to frighten the child.
"I won't tell Father that you snucked in if you don't tell him about me." Says the little girl. "Shake on it." She holds out a thin, pale hand.

Walter scratches his head "I may not be an expert but this girl ain't regular child"
Nillis, thinking that it might be better if the party was not discovered yet, goes to shake the girl's hand to seal the deal.

"This is beyond strange but at least we have an idea of how many people are here. Are we going to go to them, explore more first or something else?"
Esano plays the lantern around the room looking at the area but doesn't move on just yet.
OOC - Roughly how big is the house eg. 20m a side three storeys high? Just curious really.

Silence reigns throughout the dark house, and it is not until a couple minutes later that you realize the rain has stopped.
The clock strikes the hour, and the world is cold.

"Hey, the rain's stopped. What do you guys want to do now?"
"It may just be a break in the storm but perhaps we could use the opportunity to get a better look at the outside."
ooc: is there lightning nearby?
"Yeah let's do that. Say pen, you said there might be spirits here. Do you think we should explore the house then?" Nillis says as he turns to Penumbra.
There is no rain or lightning.
