(@drafter- so, it seems we'll all have an opportinity to get shots in at the west ghoul before merlin casts Turn Dead? If we can kill it will the one further down the hall see Merlin and be affected?)
A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions.
(Does this mean it defenseless? It can still dodge if there's nowhere to move, so while it's moving, it can't block, dodge, makes saves against spells, etc.?)

(😮 well shit, I thought it was a damage spell. Causing it to flee so we can take out the other two first is clever AF tho)

(like I said earlier I was itching for combat and wanna see how we'll do against a group, and *voila* like magic here it is lol.
The whole one or two separate fights, then a group fight is tbh, a common start to questlines, so I suspected a group fight was on the way as is 😂)

(@Merlin- if I were you, I would attack the one Roberts and I aren't. Turn Dead is gonna do alot of damage. Probably don't need any more than ur attack to take one out. If it doesn't kill it, it would be damn close to dying.)
(P.S.- Drafter pointed out below thaot you aren't doing a damage spell, my b.)

(if earth doesn't submit an action for combat round, he has chill hand as a cantrip, so would it be possible to uae that on one of the ghouls in his stead as the cantrip doesn't take any of his spell slots? And switch the damage to radiant? )

(stack up with the one I'm attacking.
We need to co-ordinate our attacks.

@drafterman
On second thought, you have a third option: You can temporarily occupy Budda's square, do Turn Undead, then step back into your own square)
I'm moving to the north or Roberts, casting Vicious Mockery on the ghoul to the west. Add a bardic inspiration to myself with a bonus action and use it on saving throw to dodge any attack that might come my way.
(You can move up into my spot Merlin.)

(the crypts are empty, kids story checks out)
We should proceed west, from the room with the big table, cautiously of course.
(Sorry, had to delete to tag you lol)

I concur but I would suggest we go south before we go west to minimize backtracking.
(True, so I guess amend to
1) explore all crypts and open all coffins
We can parse through the results after they're opened and the information out on the table 👌)

@drafterman
I agree, Order of Actions fmpov would be:
1) Open coffins in kids crypts.
2) Explore west room by crypts.
(If we find coffins filled)
3) confront children about it.
(If we find coffins empty and everything as it should be if in line with kids story + what we've discovered)
3) investigate source of chanting
(Btw, those N and S rooms are the crypts i think?)

(3 children, but only 2 crypts assuming the other two are the mother and father... hrmmmm, we should check all the crypts, not just Rose and Thorns now imho)

Thorn is futilely attempting to play with his toys, but is thwarted by his incorporeal nature.
(Well that's just sad)

(also, they said they're trapped in that room. But perhaps burying them is precisely what needs to be done. We should have opened the coffins first to be sure they were empty 😓)

@Earth
@drafterman
(nah, we didn't search that. I suppose we can wait to try to open the crypts till you get back.)
I'll amend my action to heading to the room to the west, behind Eikka.
(@Drafter- how much time has passed since we last long rested?)

@Earth
(theres likely no milestone in that direction. i'd rather proceed to the chanting after the final room. I still have suspicions about that mirror, but if anything it can wait till we are making our way back out of the house[unless there is an alternate exit].)

I already told you he will put off the moment of my death as long as possible so he doesn't have to decide what to do with my soul.
well, unless i die unnaturally, i reckon i still have more than a few hundred years left. Maybe you'll get lucky, who knows.

@ Earth (but... i'm a gnome, we're gonna need merlin and roberts for this too lol, if we can even do it with the four of us all together.)
And told you I'll out live you.
Does Zud give you longer life than the general orc?

Well fine, crypt doors first then. 👏
I head over to rosavaldas crypt.
Let's start with this one

@secularmerlin
Caution is not indecision. You can very much decisively want to do something, but take care to not kill yourself trying to do it.
Surely you wish to be remembered as dying a heroic death. Not to some spikes in the floor. I imagine Zud wouldn't be too pleased at that either

There's already been one trap, a sure sign to start being extra cautious. Make sure to move slow, and always be on the lookout for signs of traps

Plus, if those were their bodies in the attic, perhaps the key to releasing them lies in their crypt. I intend to keep my promise to free them if truthful.

Hey we all need to group up. If we keep running off like bulls in a china shop we're gonna die. Eikka, the chanting can wait, we should all approach it together.
There might be helpful things in the final room. Plus the crypts need to be checked. This whole house has been suspicious, and if those crypts are occupied, we were not talking to the actual rose and thorn earlier 😓

(thanks Drafter, just needed my bearings 😂. So north or east door of the unexplored room to the west of Roberts and I?
We should all also team up to see if the crypts of rose and thorn are empty as they should be)

Enter both doors
(@ Earth- Plan on cutting urself in half to accomplish that? Roberts did just get a new sword... 😏
@Drafter, where are we exactly? In the hallway between the two blacked out rooms? If so..) I explore the smaller north room
Created:
Posted in:
perhaps we should go back south to that room, there looks like there maybe another connecting hallway on the western part of the room. There's a few other rooms we missed.
(I agree with this, then we go to the room the sound is emanating from 👍.)

Grahf heads down the hallway, and discovers four more crypts
(No fifth crypt, more evidence the "kids" from outside were something else... and they're sealed... we need to check in rosavalda and thorns crypts. Sealed tombs but their bodies are supposedly in the attic 😓, this seems sus AF)

(is the chanting still going on, or did it stop at the sound of Merlin falling into the pit? 😓)

(lol this was priceless to read 😂💯😂)
I walk over to where Eikka fell in the pit and offer her help up
I may only be 70 years old, but I bet I'll be laughing about this till I die 😂.
Cast Cure Wounds on Eikka

Easy E doesn't strike me as the type that would be intimidating merchants into buying worthless items and neither would I. Decieving such a merchant would be good fun though, just to see if we could pull it off. 😂😂

Haven't you already inspected them and found them to be useless? The useful stuff was the 3 scrolls for Eikka 👌)

I take the tomes out of my pack and drop them while laughing,
These tomes are useless to me. If you are carrying too much, might I suggest not picking up every object worth at least a single piece of copper Grahf? 😂😂
