Molo holds his shiny out for the others to see and stops leaving. “oh... right. I suppose there might be more where this came from. Upstairs, there are spiders.”
Fianna and Kelnan are on the broken balcony at the top of the stairs; Molo is standing on the stairs. Katernin and Lucky are nearby, on the other side of the gap in the balcony. Reed is alone downstairs in the entry hall.
It's pouring outside. Water is dripping from the attic all the way down to the floor of the entry hall.
“Have we checked all the rooms upstairs?” She asks, we’ll anyone who can hear her. “I think we should try to stick together and be a bit methodical about this.”
Out of earshot of Fianna, Reed pokes his head through the open door near him.
It was once a withdrawing room of some kind. Two stuffed armchairs stand near the fireplace. The covers of both have been torn and the stuffing has been pulled out, but the wooden frames are intact. A broken table lies on the floor near the north wall.
"We're already up here," Fianna suggests. "And the less I have to climb those stairs, the better. I think I cracked something when I fell and the steps are a bit shaky..."
(sorry, between finishing my move and starting a new job I've been out of touch a bit)
Kelnan regards the rest of the group. "So the fancy crystal is great, but the good stuff, the MAGIC stuff, is downstairs. In the west wing maybe or the basement. Considering the disappointing total lack of spooky ghosts, I'm guessing this is no haunted house. It certainly is... infested though."
He shudders and brushes an entirely mundane cockroach from his sleeve.
While the others discuss where to continue their exploration, Reed peers into the open door across the hall.
It's an old dining room. At one time a long table stood in the center; now it lies broken on the floor. A broken chair sits against the wall between the windows, and there is a heap of broken dishes in the northwest corner.
Sheets of rain are coming down outside. Lighting lights up the house for an instant, followed by a deafening boom of thunder. Water continues to drip from the ceiling upstairs.
Katernin nods and follows Fianna. She gently lays a hand on her shoulder and tries to men her wounds just a little more, completely spent on any healing at this point. "Not sure how much more healing I'll be able to do," she admits, "so let's all be careful."
FIanna heads downstairs. Katernin takes a running jump over the gap in the balcony, and follows Fianna down.
(Keep track of your hit points, spells, and other limited-use actions on your character sheets, everyone!)
Reed opens another door, and peeks in. This room was once a writing room or study. Against the wall under the windows sits a large wooden writing desk, partially broken and riddled with damp rot. There are three drawers in each side of the desk and a large central drawer; the latter is closed, but the others are all open — and two of them have been broken open forcibly.
There's one more big room through an open door at the end of this west hallway.
Molo holds his shiny out for the others to see and stops leaving.

Kelnan's spell is nearing its end.
Reed will poke around downstairs some more, going in the door nearest him.

Katernin nods, "Fianna's right, we should take this one room at a time."

Reed heads across the hall and pokes his head in that room as well.

With a painful shrug, Fianna bows to the wishes of the group. “Downstairs first then,” she says and carefully makes her way to the stairs.

“Thank you,” Fianna says, giving Katernin a smile. “We should be fine if this place doesn’t collapse on us!”
Reed moves over to where Kelnan was, poking through the closed door there.

Fianna advises Molo and Kelnan to stay close to her and Katernin before calling out for Reed to try to locate him and get the party back together...
