Marijuana Legalization
-->
@jquill
While I don't think it should be legalized I don't want people to go to jail for it either.  Just like you can't go to work drunk or if you get hurt at work and they find alcohol in your system, marijuana can also be treated the same way.  many employers do pre hire drug screens as well.  The amount of controls and regulation I would want really isn't possible.  Anyone who is supported by my tax money should not be allowed to use alcohol, drugs etc, no luxuries on my dime, you want it go earn it.

I'm going to start down the stairs while they continue with the questions.  Going slowly so I don't get too far a head and making sure the way is safe and clear.

(I don't wish to scroll back)  Does Rose recognize the name of the courier that gave us the note?  Does she know what the note was referring to as far as the illness etc?

Do the kids know anything about the mirror we found earlier, other than that we may as well gather together and proceed.

According to the papers we found this house now belongs to you (Rose) and Thorn.  We were asked to come here and help.  Since you are the owners how may we help you?

I mean the story given to us by the children, the note that started this all.  Remember what the first note said, that his wife was ill....

We have found no ill wife and no baby, and now the children can't be found.

The other note and evidence said this happened 200 years ago, if that's true how did the Currier bring us the original note and how could it have been possibly been addressed to our wizard?

Let's consider this a moment.  We were given information that encouraged us to go to the 3rd floor and stay away from the basement.  Having encountered what we have and learned from what we have found I think we are being manipulated and used.  I think we were led to that ghost to vanquish it on someone or something else behalf.  If there's anything in the attic that doesn't attack us we should let it be until we check the basement.

look in the dumb waiter, search new discovered rooms, then go back up to the 3rd and assist with the search, though I think there's only 3 floors.

@drafterman
it seems we've missed a room on the 2nd floor so we should check that just to be sure.
(all the rooms on the 3rd are exposed so we've searched them all?  If not I start at the 3rd and work down)

We should  retreat and go to the basement, I don't think that the ghost will follow.   We'd be better off trying to trap it in the mirror anyway.  Come to the second floor if it follows we'll fight there.

well I think we need to examine the note, skeleton and chest, I must tie up those loose ends.

(recap unfinished business)
(chest,letter)
(what's behind door #3)
(basement)
(where are the children)
(and possibly the mirror)

(anything else?  the paintings may have some significance, but that would require someone scholarly to determine that.)

@secularmerlin
so you want to backtrack all the way down there?  We were told there is a monster there, at the very least there's probably something.  As this area seems largely abandoned for some time we should finish this area before starting a new one imo.  I do not like loose ends and unfinished business, let's finish this then move on.

(where are the children when we are doing all this exploring?)

(after dealing with the chest there is one door left I think and the basement)

My guess is the key you have is for the chest....

@drafterman
Traps are not my forte, however the length of the spear might be useful to get the letter safely.  I wonder if the letter is the same as was given us......
Another option is to fish the skeleton out with a rope in conjunction with the spear.  Using the pole to guide and place the rope in an advantageous spot.
Possibly the traps have all be set off, what do you think Zud?  Do you think we should just go right in there take the chest and note out?

I say we take a drape down and cover it, probably not a good idea to just destroy it, but I don't really know.

we should open the door slowly and quietly.  though there could be some malevolence on the other side it maybe it's too focused on what it is doing to pay us much mind.  Bursting in will surely put the focus on us, startle or otherwise panic whatever it is into attacking us.

does the floor look like it's been walked on?  Are there foot prints in the dust?


According to the children, it's been 2 days, if this does not look like it's been traveled on recently, we should head to the basement.

it's probably just regular armor.  The description doesn't seem to be the same as what we just encountered.  We should examine it never the less, carefully.

I'm going to pick up a spear and if the helm is still intact that as well, perhaps a perception check for anything unusual or out of the ordinary in the room etc, other than that, continue on.
