We rested a night on the third floor before any of us had the stomach to climb higher. Morning found us pulling down the alarms we'd rigged the night before, and we climbed the narrow stair up into the attic. We listened at the door first. Then up we went. Cold met us before the … Continue reading The Shadows Beckon
After dismantling previously installed alarm traps, the group ascended the narrow stairwell to the fourth floor. Nyx conducted a preliminary auditory check at the landing door; no activity was detected. The hallway beyond contained significant dust accumulation and extensive cobwebbing, indicating prolonged disuse. A window provided visual access to the lower balcony. Four closed doors … Continue reading Investigator’s Journal #3 — Barovia Assignment
