Thrash can here the others talking to.... themselves maybe? But is too frustrated to go back and listed to what they are talking about. At this point he us pretty sure that this house was a waste of time and wants to leave. As he gets to the landing of the second floor, he notices the. Suits of armor with the wolf heads and stops a moment.... speaking of taking anything not nailed down... Thrash will say scratching the scales on his chin. He will then turn and start walking towards the statues.
"We've been here a long time, I'm not sure how long it's been. Father said he was going to the basement to protect us from the monster" she walks over to the doll house, which is a replica of this house" There's a hidden door, here in the attic, Father didn't know that I saw him open it once." and she points to an area near the storage room where you found the trunk. The girl turns to her brother, "Thorn, go get the scaly man, tell him to come back" and you see the boy nod to his sister and vanish.
As Thrash approaches the statues, he remembers what happened the last time he got too close to a suit of armor. Pausing for a moment, he will run his hands along his wretched face and then give his stiff jaw a slight shake. The longer he stands in the hallway the less angry he becomes and more more he realizes that he is just in a lot of pain.... Looking back to the suites of armor, they seem different now than they did from the stairwell.... something seems... off. As a chill runs down Thrash's spine he will take couple steps back....
Forget this... I may not be able to help a baby, but I am not going to leave the others alone in this death trap of a house. Thrash will then make his way back up to the others much faster than he walked down the stairs only moments ago.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Tisnip will move closer to the doll house, looking very intrigued at the smaller version of their current house of horrors. She notes the secret door and starts to scan the rest of the house, noting where they came in and the path they took. If there's one secret door there may be more, and any insight to rooms they haven't been in yet would be most helpful.
(Not sure if this would be perceptopn or investigation so here's both:
You can see the route you would have taken through the house and the rooms you walked by along the way but nothing extra stands out as hidden or special. Its mostly just tiny kitchens and bedrooms and studys full of doll furniture.
Thrash will quickly run up the stairs and then slowly approach the group once he sees them standing around the locked doorway. Nervously looking around he will come up behind his companions. Once he is directly behind them he will begin to whisper guys... umm.... I went down stairs for a bit to cool off and I think something is down there... I got close to the wolf head armor and I am pretty sure I saw something move and HOLY CRAP! GHOST KID!!!
Thrash will reel backwards quickly slamming his back against the wall behind him. After hitting the wall he will slide down the wall to a his knees and fall forward with his head in his hands... NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE! Thrash will say frantically, shaking his head... Claws slightly digging into the scales covering his face and head.
Don't touch me! Thrash will yell jumping to his feet. One hand still holding his head the other pointing a sharp claw towards Tyriok's chest. Just... Just everyone... I am fine.... Thrash will continue looking around the room frantically and nervously... I just really don't like this place... The ghosts, the armor coming to life.... I just need to relax, EVERYONE NEEDS TO RELAX.... Thrash will continue to pace in the hallway for a moment, calming down a little...
Just ask your ghost friend where where the baby is.... ok..... Thash will say to Tyriok, stopping and looking into his eyes. Genuine fear spread across his face....
The bard listens with great interest to the children, and when everything seems to quiet down, he addresses them. "You are Rosavalda and Thornboldt Durst, yes? Your parents were Gustav and Elizabeth Durst. What year were you born, and how old are you? If you have any more information on the monster, we could use it so that we can defeat it once and for all. Then you can find your rest and leave this place."
Alustine also examines the doll house and tries to picture the secret door from the other room...when the group is ready he will follow them down to the basement, keeping an eye out for traps and dangers.
Rose responds to your questions, "I'm ten and my brother is seven, there's also the baby, Walter. Did you find him down on the third floor? You must get him out of here. We've never seen the monster, our father always forbid us from going to the basement. But we've heard it before, it makes aweful noises."
Rajiira notices Thrash come back, and watches his reactions before saying anything "Rajiira thinks you should calm yourself. The children here are no threat, atleast at the moment, if they ever will be. The dead are not to be feared, but respected. In that they hold power we cannot imagine, not necessarily respect like one would a... king, or general. But do not fear them, simply know what they are capable of, and practice due caution~ As for your head, this one must apologize, but she is not sure that will heal easily, if you will forgive her bluntness." Rajiira, always speaking in a roving third person. (To determine if she's aware of what is required to heal it, or not: History? : 9 and tell Thrash what she knows.)
Rajiira would then take out her book, writing down some notes in it, before saying to the group as a whole "Unless this one heard incorrectly, there are two entrances not meant to be known, and a baby on the third floor. This one has a feeling .." she says, turnign to the ghost-children apologetically, but shrugging otherwise "that perhaps the baby is no longer alive. Rajiira thinks we should split into three grrroups of two. Two, checking out the 'attic' entrance. Two seeking the baby on the third floor. And two seeking the basement entrance. Howeverr, Be cautious, and careful. If trouble ensues, rretreat to the group closer to the houses firrst floorr. If whatever it is pursues, seek the ground floor, and head outside. This way, we will find our goal faster, and it still provides us some safety."
She paused for breath. before continuing, to make sure she wasn't interrupted. Then, continuing, raising a clawed digit up to emphasize her point, "As I said a moment ago, we have very limited space here, and if we go UP we will be trapped, while if we go DOWN we have a way out to the outside, where it is likely safer, and we won't have to jump out of a window and risk killing or maiming ourrselves. Does this all make sense? Rajiira hopes it does or we will end up in a verry dirre situation. In any case, Thrash, with me to this 'attic' entrance. The rest of you, grab a parrtnerr, and choose where to go, unless someone has objections to this?"
Her tail sinuously wagging begind her as she would await the groups response, hoping her wise words would ring true to them as well.
(I also legitimately don''t know what floor we're all on XD)
Thrash will nod to Rajiira I will go with you...but why do you keep saying children? I only see one ghost girl.... Thrash will make a quick glance to the little girl before quickly looking away and shield his eyes with his claws. His this obsidian tail is held very close to his body and no longer swinging and thumping around like it was before he went downstairs.
OOC Thrash ran downstairs after seeing the skeletons but never saw both ghost..the Boy nodded to the girl and disappeared before Thrash ever came back upstairs...
You are in the attic which it the 4th floor. The girl said there's a secret door that will take you all the way down to the basement. Rose is there now but Thorn the boy left a few minutes ago.
OOC so we are in the attic... does that mean the wolf armor was on the 3rd floor? The first floor was where i grabbed the shield and am kicking myself for not grabbing the sword. Did I mess the second floor? Does this mean the baby is on the floor with the wolf armor?
"I don't think there is another entrance into the basement except for the hidden on up here. So may be two groups of three people...I'll head down to the third floor and help look for the baby, and any other clues we can find about what happened here." Alustine says in response to Rajiira. "So who else wants to search the floors below?"
OTC - you had already checked out the doors on the third floor, listening for any noise. You didn't hear anything or anyone moving around. There's 4 doors, 2 north and 2 south.

OOC I thought we were on the third floor already.

OTC screams at Alustine.
"NONONO DON'T SPLIT THE PARTY THAT IS THE VERY FIRST RULE OF ADVENTURING!!!"
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
Thrash jumps at the sound of OTC's voice as she yells at Alustine.
**The second floor had the non-moving wolf head armor. The 3rd floor had the moving/attacking armor. And also a secret door up to the attic.
"We missed the ghost baby. We should probably go save the demonic undead baby horror. Let's do that."
OTC heads down to the third floor and sniffety clicks.
Perception: 19
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
