Flynt nods with a half bow. "It is a pleasure to meet you all. I am sure we will get to know each other in this house." He pauses for a moment. "Assuming we all make it out here in one peace."
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
So you guys have all greeted... David the innkeeper must've hired 4 people for this job, not 3!
Ignatia is still in the main hall (below), the others are still in the entrance area.
(Not sure if the below post was missed on the previous page, so adding to this page of the thread)
Ignatia, you confirm this is the main hall of the house as you quite quietly enter the room. The walls are wood paneled with ornately sculptured vines and flowers. There's a black marble fireplace to the west, with a longsword mounted above it. To the east is a sweeping red marble staircase. It's quite majestic actually. It seems to run up the entire house... or at least to the top floor.
You notice there are a bunch of doors as well in all directions. They are all closed (oddly enough).
You don't hear anything right now, except for the odd songbird outside catching the last sunlight of the day.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ignatia started up the stairs keeping her eyes peeled for spiritual presences and the like, she gestured towards the fireplace lighting it with Prestidigitation.
Renny, please roll a Perception check for the weird shit.
Ignatia, you make a gesture towards the fireplace, and it impressively booms with flame and then settles into a slow, warm burn. You then start to make your way up the staircase. You take a glance up, and no spiritual presences seem to be... present.
So at this moment, Ignatia is walking up the stairs, about to get to the second floor. Everyone else is still on the first floor. I will give everyone some more time, and then will post the result of Ignatia's ascent to the second floor.
Flynt eyes the sword but shakes his head. "I use a longsword and it is a good weapon. Perhaps this new blade may come in handy, that is if none of you want it." He watches Ignatia walk up the stairs and begins to follow. "I can always come back to retrieve it."

Renny, your eyes peeled for weird shit comes up empty. You see and hear the same surroundings as what was described to Ignatia when she first entered the main hall.
Flynt admires the longsword on the mantle, leaves it alone for now and then follows Ignatia up the stairs.
Renny's scan for weird shit in the main hall on floor 1 comes up empty... nothing seems to be out of the ordinary... that she can sense.
Karlina, noticing that Ignatia and Flynt seem to be moving up to the second floor already, will follow.
So - with using Ignatia's Investigation and Perception rolls from above:
Ignatia, you lead the way up the red marble staircase to the second floor. You notice that the dragonborn who calls himself Flynt and Karlina are behind you, with Renny still investigating the first floor. The first thing you see when you get to the top are 4 standing suits of armor, each of them clutching a spear and all with wolf shaped visored helms. The doors leading to the rooms on this floor again are all shut, but this time carved with dancing children. Above the mantle on this floor is a family portrait, with what looks like a mother and father alongside their two children... the same two children that you saw outside of the house! The father is also cradling a swaddled baby, and the mother seems to be looking at it with scorn.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Renny comes up the staircase and checks out the portrait. Very high creepiness level.
Ignatia, oddly enough, these 4 suits of armor don't seem to give of any type of magical essence or aura. You can recall something about strange magical suits of armor that attack you... but these particular suits of armor don't seem to be moving at all or are giving off any magical essences.
Flynt and Karlina also check out the 2nd floor main hall (Perception): 17
And they can hear some type of strange knocking and/or banging around in the room to the south. Actually... when they listen hard enough, both Flynt and Karlina can hear some faint rustling now coming somewhere from the 1st floor beneath them.
The red marble staircase also continues up to the 3rd floor of the house. You all felt a cold draft coming down from the steps from the 3rd.
Renny goes to the stair railing and peers down, looking for signs of any creature or person or thing. She looks at the others, "I suppose we should go check that out huh?"

"No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow" "No power in the 'verse can stop me"
So to summarize... there's sounds coming from the southern doors on the 2nd floor, and noises coming from somewhere back on the 1st floor. This was uncovered from Flynt and Karlina's perception rolls (which I rolled for them).
Renny peeks down the staircase, but doesn't see anything. She'd have to go back down to the 1st floor completely to hear exactly where they are coming from.
Flynt tells Ignatia and the others about the noises coming from the southern doors, and now you all can hear them, quite loudly now in fact. It's a combination of some thud-like banging and some clinking of metal.
Karlina covers Ignatia as she reaches out and pushes the double doors open... she gets a quick glance-over of the room and then suddenly notices 3 skeletons, aimlessly walking around the room! They all have very old broken pieces of armor and are all wielding small swords. They all notice the doors open, turn their skulls and look at Ignatia with their empty skull gaze, and start to frantically move around in a hostile way, seemingly about to attack you.
Everyone please roll for initiative!

" Sword over there if anyone wants it."
Investigation:23
Perception: 11
Renny carefully steps into the main room, keeping her eyes out for weird shit. She has a peek at the sword but shrugs, "Not much use for me."
"No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow"
"No power in the 'verse can stop me"

Ignatia looked at the doors in turn, " Any preferences, folks?"
" So......suits of armour coming to life and killing us? Likely?"
Arcana:13
Renny follows the others up the stairs, pausing to look over the portraits, "Are these creepy?"
"No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow"
"No power in the 'verse can stop me"
" Creepy is relative. The resemblance to the children would lead me to assume it is accurate...."
Renny comes up the staircase and checks out the portrait. Very high creepiness level.

For IGNATIA:
Ignatia has this knowledge about animated armor from her past: https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/animated-armor
Flynt and Karlina also check out the 2nd floor main hall (Perception): 1 7
And they can hear some type of strange knocking and/or banging around in the room to the south. Actually... when they listen hard enough, both Flynt and Karlina can hear some faint rustling now coming somewhere from the 1st floor beneath them.
The red marble staircase also continues up to the 3rd floor of the house. You all felt a cold draft coming down from the steps from the 3rd.
Renny - the portrait's creepiness level is quite high. Although Ignatia is right, it's all relative :)
Also assume that Flynt and Karlina told Renny and Ignatia about the noises, so everyone is aware of all of the noises which I've mentioned.
Flynt would quickly rushes down the stairs to tell his companions about the noises before moving back up the stairs.

Renny goes to the stair railing and peers down, looking for signs of any creature or person or thing. She looks at the others, "I suppose we should go check that out huh?"

So to summarize... there's sounds coming from the southern doors on the 2nd floor, and noises coming from somewhere back on the 1st floor. This was uncovered from Flynt and Karlina's perception rolls (which I rolled for them).
" We're already up here now, lets have a look at this one first.", Ignatia reached out to open the door the others indicated noises coming from.
Renny peeks down the staircase, but doesn't see anything. She'd have to go back down to the 1st floor completely to hear exactly where they are coming from.
Flynt tells Ignatia and the others about the noises coming from the southern doors, and now you all can hear them, quite loudly now in fact. It's a combination of some thud-like banging and some clinking of metal.
