In order to clear the evil from the house we should probably get a cleric so we hire the hire cleric from the nearby town.
On the way back tot he manor we notice a group of ghouls lying in wait for us so we quickly kick their butt.
On arrival we notice that the servants quarters are covered in undead crows. Kat tries to stealthily approach, keyword tries.
The birds swarm and prepare to attack but our new friend Stormshadow pulls out a Molotov cocktail and throws it into the middle of one of the swarms before shooting it and killing them off. The crows begin to whisper evil things as they fly around us but we quickly finish the rest off.
As we enter the building Billy's scarf starts choking him again, but Father Ventis is able to stop it.
Kat decides to eat some of the fungi on the walls, again, and falls ill.
We enter the caverns below again and the is a fork in the tunnels. The right side has a rhythmic breathing sound coming from it so we go left- directly into a cavern of ghouls. Storm shadow shoots and kills two of them before fading into the wall like Homer Simpson in to the bush.
Onw of the ghouls of the corner of the broken bookend lodged into its skull.
After defeating them we continue down the tunnel into a large cavern, which is where the rhythmic breathing sound came from, it has a massive 180 ft. deep spiral pit leading down into a pool of churning water (the ocean)
The is a door to the NE. It is locked but out thief is able to pick the lock.
The next room holds a large table with an assortment of items organized on top. On one wall is a horny fungus man, and on the other side of the table sits a decaying man in a chair. He looks scared when he sees us enter but once he spots Cyan his look changes to arousal. The man, Aldern, yells out to Cyan, "Let us consummate our hunger!" He lunges towards our group so we shoot him and he immediately breaks down crying, so we shoot him again. His voice suddenly changes. "I am just doing what they asked of me... I didn't mean to kill those people... I am in great debt to the Seven..." (The Seven is a secret gentlemen's club in Magnamar) His body language changes again and he stand with a wild grin on his face and begins to brag about how our deaths will affect other people. He pulls out a mask and puts it on, it appears to make him more powerful. He dodges my burst fire several times before he takes a hit, he cackles as his coat is singed. After nearly killing our Ranger we notice Goblin Ghats trying to sneak up from behind us. We are able to defeat all of our enemies.
There is a painting of Aisha in the room done over to look like Cyan, I am able to restore it and we notice the skyline is that of Magnamar.
We turn to the horny fungi man on the wall. Kat eats some of the fungi, yes again, and becomes diseased, thank goodness the Cleric is here to heal him. The cleric senses the source of evil in the house is originating from the fungi man so he purifies it.
We collect a key ring that has two keys- one tarnished iron townhouse key, the other a small copper key with a lion head.
I a=get he Chime of opening.
