Curse of Strahd

(Waits patiently)

Shakes and trembles in terrible fear and terror at the thought of the vampire behind the door but realizes it’s not there and chuckles internally before eyeing the party members once again before letting out a large sigh followed by one more after a minute

“Says who? These suspicious looking kids? This could all be a trap for all we know!”

“Why don’t we investigate further and find out?”

“Lead the way then. I’ll stay comfortably in the back”

Trailyn moves towards the door next to @Jilsen and peers inside, surveying the room and checking for any traps. Trying to remain silent the entire time.

Eyes grow to large size

You detect no signs of any struggle.

The party opens the double doors. Before them is a wide hall that runs the width of the house, with a black marble fireplace at one end and a sweeping, red marble staircase at the other. Mounted on the wall above the fireplace is a sword with a windmill cameo worked into the hilt. The wood-paneled walls are ornately sculpted with images of vines, flowers, nymphs, and satyrs. The decorative paneling follows the staircase as it circles upward to the second floor.

There are four doors that run along the north wall, and 1 additional door along the south wall(the double doors are also on the south wall). The fireplace is to the west and the circular staircase to the east.

Ted lets go of the girls hand.

“Very well… Stay safe then.”

He hustles into the house, trailing his party members

AA realizes that by going upstairs he minimizes the risk of running into the monster

“How about we head upstairs, guys”?

“Why?”

“By opening one of these doors we may as well instantly run into the monster, we should gather information and explore as much as the house before doing so”

Looks under the stair case

While making his way to the staircase from the double doors to check under them I move in a tapdance-like fashion

“This place is a god damn labyrinth. The children knows the layout of this house, I’ll go outside and get them to come in. It’s their parents we’re saving after all. They’re indirectly killing their own parents by not coming in!” AA shouts convincingly to the party

AA walks as fast as he can while not transitioning into a jog, heading for the exit doors

While waiting for AA to return Mukk tries to steal the sword

Brendan clearly has something on his mind.

fade kneels infront of the children and begins to persuade them to help the party navigate through the building… @Roragok

…I will keep watch over you, stick with me. It is safer for us all to be together. she finishes while rising back to her feet.

As AA exits the house, he sees Fade who is already trying to persuade the children. He keeps his distance while watching the events unfold.
