Gregory steps gently onto the floorboards, checking them gingerly before proceeding.

"Tread lightly," says Gregory. "We have entered the dragon's lair."

Z, Lonecoon

1d12, both of you.

"You're so weird," Jennifer mutters under her breath.

Charlie sighs, the routine of making tea is not as therapeutic as it once was.

He wonders where everyone has got to.

All skinned or eatened or eviscerated no doubt.

Nothing happens. You may continue your inspection.

Lonecoon

The gallows suddenly seem irresistibly attractive. You feel drawn to the structure.

1d12.

PuPP

You hear bumping noises coming from above you.

Jennifer examines the base of the gallows. Maybe there are more numbers here, or something to put the numbers in? She's not sure.

She looks up at the structure and ponders.

Count PuPPula · « **Reply #1688 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:15:45 PM »

Peculiar, thinks Charlie. He makes a few cups of tea, places them on a tray, and makes his way upstairs.

No need to be impolite, if whatever is up there doesn't try to kill him it may very well enjoy a refreshment.

Gregory feels oddly drawn to the gallows. He touches the silky smooth wood, the hemp rope...

You can just about make something out, there on the very top. Looks like something is carved into the wood- but it's dim in here, and the carving is high up. You'll have to at the very least get closer, and probably try to climb up a little to make it out.

Lonecoon

No matter. The feeling passes.

PuPP

The sounds are coming from the attic.

Count PuPPula · « **Reply #1692 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:18:19 PM »

Charlie continues onwards.

LoneCoon · « **Reply #1693 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:18:59 PM »

Gregory gives Jessica a boost to the top of the gallows.

Zahnnie · « **Reply #1694 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:20:01 PM »

Jennifer squirms unhappily. Even with two coats and her regular clothes on, he is TOUCHING NEAR HER. Very unhappy.

She tries to read the... whatever it is... as quickly as possible so she can get down, down, down, no touchie!

You reach the door to the attic. It is ajar.

Beyond are voices- one sounds like a little girl.

Pixie · « **Reply #1696 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:23:49 PM »

Now that you're closer, you see that the carving is a number- 26.

But the gallows are pulling you in, just slightly. You want to be closer.

1d12.

Count PuPPula · « **Reply #1697 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:25:14 PM »

Charlie slips through the door.

"I have tea if anyone is-" ... "Oh. It's you," he says spying Gregory. "And the child. Very well. Either way, if anyone would like a spot of tea I have several."

Pixie · « **Reply #1698 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:26:18 PM »

PuPP

Very decent of you to offer tea to THIS chap. In any case, 1d12, good sir.

Zahnnie · « **Reply #1699 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:27:32 PM »

"I like tea," Jennifer announces. "Oh, 26... you can put me down now please. Don't LIKE touchy."
