Session 11 – Pat Minotaur

We search past the next door and it is a cloakroom. There are some coins here, and the dates on the coins is 2329, and we are almost 200 years later, in 2521.

The next room is a small reading room. There is a desk and some other furniture. A suit of armor stands in the corner. A book is open on the desk, and Jean reads it to see that it is all about torture. Suddenly two irons come out of the fire and attack us. Brokk believes that he is being shackled.

Vedasi takes the book and hurls it into the fire, but some sort of a demon that looks like a dwarf emerges and begins to attack us. Jean is petrified with fear.

The demon shoots a pincer out toward Geeves and hits him in the neck. Tobruk smashes it and it dissipates into dust.

We search the rest of the room as Geeves heals Maruviel who was badly hurt. Jean finds some books that discuss monster hunters and skaven. Geeves takes the suit of armor and puts it on.

The group heads to the next room on this floor and it is another sitting room. There are dust covers on everything. We see a portrait of a chaotic beast-man with a goat’s head standing over two fallen warriors. We hear a gurgling sound and blood stars gushing from the painting. The dwarves are just able to get out of the way. Suddenly the beast man steps out of the painting and attacks us. After a few quick strokes he is destroyed as well and the room gets noticeably colder.

We head up the stairs and down a hallway and see a room that is horribly decorated. There are pentagrams everywhere. We mess them up and nothing happens.

In the next room, there is a bed here and a ghost appears. It is a middle aged man and he claims to be the manservant of the owner. He says that a magical ceremony was performed in the ceremony room or the attic and the house became cursed, and he died.

The next room is quite large and has half of a pentagram. Two more abominations are here. Jean shoots an arrow through the woman’s third eye and she crumples to the ground, dead. The man rushes at us and Tobruk crushes his arm and then takes the top of his head off. The pentagram in here is nicely made and is inlaid with silver. Brokk messes up the pentagram and nothing happens.

We go through the doors and there is a small staircase here. There is a deep dark on the stairwell and we ascend for what feels like forever. Finally we reach the top and there is a door ahead. We hear a hideous laughter. There are three thrones in the room with small tables between. Each one has a plain gray robe lying on the throne and each table has a golden bowl. A sealed vial and a towel are next to each.

Brokk sits on one of the thrones but nothing happens. We approach the door at the end of the room and a ghost appears. The room gets very cold and he is wheezing. “Last ones to come. You must destroy it or perish! I meddled with time and raw chaos! Now it comes to destroy!” A black claw emerges and squeezes the ghost. Then it falls apart and is destroyed.

The doors swing open and we are sucked into it. The room continues on forever it seems. There is a pulsating sac of a beast with tentacles in front of us. It drips goo and has a protruding eye, and faces are screaming in its intestines. Whenever it is hit, it spews burning blood onto us. We destroy it and get away before it bursts.

Back in the previous room, we see the paintings have changed to show the modern day. Tobruk jumps through the painting. We follow him and suddenly we are on the street. We look behind us and see that there is no house. People look at us funny. We decide to go back to our boat.

Geeves checks the ring that Brokk found and it is not magical, but it has a nice ring to it.
