Session 2: The Durst House Report

General Summary

The party was attacked by a moving, yet empty, suit of armor. Despite the melee characters having a hard time breaching its defenses, they whittled it down to pile of scrap metal.   The team then found the children's bedroom and encountered the ghosts of Thornboldt and Rosavalda Durst as they hovered above the small forms of their dead bodies, which starved to death after being locked in the room by their parents. Their toy house, after a successful search by the rogue Thalia, revealed the presence of a secret door in the attic. When the group tried to leave, the ghosts got angry and possessed Lail and Utto but were later enticed out by some harsh words from Gorobey.   After hearing the baby Walter in the next room, they angered a specter of the (apprently) murdered nursemaid. A worrying fight ensued when the party discovered that being touched by the nursemaid sucked out their life essense. The group's magic users came to the rescue, their eldritch attacks blasting the specter into oblivion.   So finally the team found the room with the secret door and they rested, perched on the edge of a dark, cobweb-filled spiral staircase down into seeming nothingness.
