Haldar begins searching around the outside of the house for a way into the house.

Rinn let everyone know that his injuries must be addressed before they continue on. Misty brings him a bit of potion and he drinks it. It seemed to help quite a bit.

Rinn looks into the room adjacent to the room where they had just battled the ghouls and see's a wardrobe. The chanting is coming from the West, maybe this is the way. Rinn moves into the room to find a bedroom with no apparent exit, a footlocker, wardrobe, bedside table, and a skeleton hanging from a noose. Below him was a knocked over stool. It appears he hung himself. Rinn lets the rest of the group know about the body. Kyana seems to be scared and Snoggly tells her not to worry and to stay behind him. She does as he says. Nothing about this sounds right but then again, I don't really know these two that well.

Rinn moves over to check the hanging skeleton. Searching his pockets, he finds a note and begins to read it out loud.

“My Beloved Children,

I wish I could do what all fathers do and tell you that monsters aren't real. But it wouldn't be true.

Life can create things of exquisite beauty. But, it can also twist them into hideous beings - Selfish - Violent - Grotesque - Monstrous. It hurts me to say that your mother has turned into one such monster”

It was then that a female undead thing came out of the earthen wall and started telling Rinn, in a seriously evil sounding voice, that “He deserved to die”. Rinn asked, “What could he have possibly done to warrant his death?” The creature replied “ He was an adulterer! All men are scum!”. As she moves to attack Rinn, she says “Die!”. In a single attack, she put Rinn down. The battle is joined!

Dain moves to battle the creature that just put down Rinn. Misty moves to the bed to bandage Rinn. Kyana steps into the room. Misty notices the skeleton beginning to move. Kyana brings forth daylight burning the creatures. Snoggly introduces himself with a series of magic misses. Meanwhile, the skeleton attacks Misty but misses. Dain hits the undead female creature. Misty attack back at the skeleton. Kyana lights up and drops the hag. Snoggly fires bolt the skeleton. Misty dodges a another attack, Dain retaliates, and then Misty lands the death blow.

After the battle finished, Snoggly asked what the note said. Before Rinn was healed and able to, he read the note outloud again.

“My Beloved Children,

I wish I could do what all fathers do and tell you that monsters aren't real, but it wouldn't be true.

Life can create things of exquisite beauty, but it can also twist them into hideous beings - Selfish - Violent - Grotesque - Monstrous. It hurts me to say that your mother has turned into one such monster, inside and out - and I'm afraid the disease that afflicted her mind has taken hold of me as well.

It sickens me to think what we've put you through, there is no excuse. I only ask of you, though I know I do not have the right to do so, to try and forgive us. I despise what your mother has become, but I love and pity her all the same.

Rose, I wish I could see you blossom into a strong, beautiful woman. Thorne, Walter, I wish I could be there for you, but I can't. This is the only way.

Goodbye”

After finishing the letter, it became very clear that we just killed Gustav and Elizabeth. Perhaps killed is too strong a word for what we did. We stopped the undead life and set their spirits free. It took only a moment for Rosa/Snoggly to catch on and become almost inconsolable. Thorne/Kyana took longer to come to terms. It had to be explained to him, after which, he too was very upset.

We had Snoggly and Kyana leave the room while Dain cured some of Rinn's damage. Dain then, wrapped the bodies in blankets pulled from the bed. It was but a short distance back to the crypts so the party took the bodies to their final resting places. Here, Dain prayed to Clanggedin Silverbeard to help them to go to their final resting place and to help bring peace to the children.

Haldar is outside searching for outbuidings and anyway into the main house.

The party moves back to a room which had two exits that go down stairs. Listening, it sounds as though the chanting is coming from down below. The children are still highly upset. Misty breaks off to go back to the room where the parents were killed and searches the armoire and footlocker. She finds a cloak, spellbook, thieves tools and other stuff. She puts on the cloak and seems to like it and then meets back up with the group.

Snoggly attempt’s to regain control, focus, but Rosa is still too upset. Rinn backs back into the room with everyone else and suggests that we consider resting. We’ve been drained, and Rosa and Thorne need time to process and recover from what they witnessed.

Outside, Haldar is still
