You head back to the Foyer, determined to leave this accursed place but stop short. Instead of the front door there's nothing but a blank wall. Without conscious thought you draw your weapons and place yourselves back to back in a defensive posture. The air is suddenly filled with malice.
(OK, I'm trying to figure this out. If Vicki enters rage it ends early if she hasn't attacked a hostile creature at the end of her turn. And her storm aura does electrical damage to creatures. Question is: is the house a creature?)
In their defensive spot, Ellie whispers under her breath while tracing runes in the air, summoning a force of blue energy to envelop her before dissipating back out of sight.
Ellie looks doubtfully at her dagger still strapped to her belt, unsure it is up to shape to tear down a wall. She wasn't even sure it'd break or not.
"I'm, umm, not sure I can help with remaking a door. My dagger isn't really as effective as your giant hammer, and... I don't have any fire on hand, either. Maybe we should get to higher ground? In any case, maybe this could help."
Ellie murmurs a quick incantation and touches Vicki's arm on the backswing, careful not to get in her way.
(Guidance on Vicki, unsure how applicable it'd be in this situation, but...)
Sorry about the delay in posting. DDB has been acting up on me.
(Victoria) Despite your attempts to make a new door it becomes apparent that your efforts are for naught. You manage to only make a small hole in the wall, and as you and your companions watch the wall repairs itself.
The malice you felt earlier is replaced by smugness.
(Because Vicki isn't particularly bright I made an Int check & rolled 17 including the Guidance. Hopefully that's enough for her to have an idea & if so I'll say it.
Also, I realized I had oil but no way to ignite it so I added a tinderbox but wanted to see if that was OK.
And this IS the house the ghost kids were talking about, isn't it? )
Yes, but I'm also planning to have each one of us use Ellie's Gjidance to boost skills like Arcana & History to see if we've heard of "Evil Houses" before, then combine our efforts in a help action, possibly with boosted Investigation, to see if we can think of a way to fight it.
Thus my asking if this was a plan that Vicki could think of.
After realizing that you're unable to egress the house the way you came in, you reason that there must be more than one exit. You remember that houses this size often have Kitchens with door leading outside to the back.

Nate draws his bow and nocks an arrow. Quickly looking around he tries to identify the source of the palpable animosity.

"So its the house, then. Its just a giant trap."
(casting armor of agathys)
“Perhaps we should get to higher ground and maybe escape through a window. Might be worth shot. I do not like feeling like a fish in a barrel.“
"Yes Ellie. There was a door here. I'll make another one! AAARRRGGGHHHH!"
(rage, attacking the wall with her maul, 15 to hit, 8 damage + dex save 12 or take 6 electrical damage. I'm curious to know a house's dex.)
"Melee weapons or fire might be useful!" Victoria growls.

Are you planning on burning down the house?
Hopefully not with us inside lol

Sounds fancy, I'm in!
