As guests make their way back into the Main Hallway this time, there is noticeable tension in the air... the frivolity and joy of the previous meetings seems worlds away as guests eye each other with suspicion.

The Turn

As accusations and suspicions fly like arrows across the room... The Guests come to the realization that they must explore further to figure out what is going on here....

Let's make him talk.

There is no visible reaction from Mr. Grey as you get closer to him.

Go to Solarium

Samantha finishes her glass and pours another.

The champagne hits you quickly and you feel somewhat light-headed. It is very delicious.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Darkness Descends

As the guests enter the Main Hallway, they notice it looks like it has been ransacked and destroyed by a monster... The chandelier lies smashed and ruined in the middle of the room, a marble statue lies broken in pieces by the staircase - the piano broken and collapsed on the floor. The floor boards look like they have aged a century in an hour. There is the smell of death in the air - something is very wrong in this house...


The number of guests has also decreased by two - Mark and Father Jim are no longer present with you.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Thunder and Lightning

The fireplace in the main hallway suddenly lights up a roaring fire...

The haunting sounds of a strong wind whistling outside the house feels ominous... You can hear the rain outside begin to pick up.. louder and louder.

You see flashes of lightning outside followed by earsplitting thunder - louder than anything you've heard before.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

You do not find a reflective surface. everything has already been smashed and destroyed.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

The body was just an excuse to get someone to the lounge... Mark went over to look at it and that's when Clines went at him from behind...

I'm gonna drive this poker through your fucking heart you scum

brandish poker, fight: Clines

24 hours from this post fight will begin - players may converse but not commit actions. (Lobby for support etc)

Early resolution can happen if both sides request it before then

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Tensions Rise

"I'm gonna drive this poker through your fucking heart you scum." Daryl yells, brandishing his poker. His face a mask of pure range, he takes long strides towards Clines, ready to strike.

Clines doesn't dignify his words with a response, as though a part of his personality is absent. Wordlessly, the other man raises his fists, readying himself for the fight.

Other voices raise, attempting to reason through the tension, but they are cut off. A roar of thunder tears through the room, defeating the guests. The storm outside flares, the wind clearly audible despite the thick walls of the mansion.

Suddenly, many feet above, a stained glass window gives way. A million tiny shards of glass are thrust across the hallway, rain and wind pelting into the room at a sideways angle.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

touch silver candlestick to Clines

players may converse but not commit actions. (Lobby for support etc)

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

you can support either side by typing in

support ____

in the thread or PMing it to me.

each supporter will add +1 to the dice roll total of their supported side

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Specter

A flash of lightning breaks the tension in the room.

Suddenly you all see Mark standing in the middle of the room.

He gasps for air, coughing up a cloud of blood...

Wordlessly he points a finger at Jessica...

You see rivers of blood begin to pour out of his eyes and down his face..

Thunder roars through the room and in another flash of lightning - Mark is gone..

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Conflict

Daryl charged at Clines, holding the iron poker like a sword prepared to do combat..

Clines backed away carefully, begging Daryl to reconsider..

But there was no hesitation in Daryl's heart and he charged forward determined...

Clines casually tossed something to the ground - there was a large flash and a bang, suddenly a massively plume of smoke filled the air...

When the smoke was gone.. Clines was as well...

Touch silver candlestick to Jessica but from a distance

it does not do anything

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

there is nothing in the demonic grimoire about vampires

Dark Waltz II

There is a large curtained mirror placed on the end of the Hallway.

A dozen ghostly pairs dance in front of it to a haunting tune.

Would you like to pair up and join them in the dance?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Dark Waltz II

Spoiler:

Jess and Daryl walked into the dance floor and the ghostly dancers parted before them. The music stopped – there was dead silence in the room as Jessica stared up into Daryl’s eyes – an deep understanding seemed to pass between them – he smiled at her and she at him.. He turned away as she made her way to the edge of room. They glanced back at each other then – separated by 20 feet yet seemingly no further away from each other for all the distance – a ghostly waltz began to play… Jess turned away from Daryl and made her way to the center of the room with slow careful steps – Daryl followed – striding confidently behind her…


With one armed outstretched he reached slowly across her neck and took ahold of her right shoulder – with the gentlest of tugs he turned her around – her dress swirling beneath her as she looked up into his eyes for the briefest of moments. Then slowly she raised her arms up above his shoulders and he took her outstretched hand and put his other hand on her back as she bent slightly backwards – her leg sliding into the first step of the dance.. Jess took the lead and the two began moving backwards and then twirling in perfect rhythm to the ghostly waltz. The audience could not turn away from this beautiful dance playing out before them – all the emotion of the evening seemed to drain from the room at once. It was almost hypnotic how beautifully they dance back and forth across the floor – their eyes never turned to look at each other but their bodies moving together perfectly. Faster and faster as the music picked – her feet leaving the ground gravity behind in the last spins. Then finally an end – the two faced the audience and took a small bow. The ghosts erupted into applause and appreciation for the stunning dance they had just witnessed. With a flicker of the lights they all disappeared, mirror, curtain, and ghosts.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

The two women circle each other warily - heels tapping on the marble floor as they look for openings to attack. Then as the tension seems ready to break like a dam, Alice lunges forward and kicks out Jessica's feet beneath her - falling awkwardly to the ground she tries to catch herself but is knocked out by a knee to her head..

Alice bends down and drives the stake into Jessica's chest..


It pierces the flesh with a sickly sound and blood begins to drip out...

Jessica [Knocked out] on the floor bleeding with a wooden stake in her chest.

Jessica will re-awaken in (expired on 2020-10-21 02:10:00)

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Alice gets up and walks to the window, she looks outside - lost in thought. She presses against the window to feel whether it is very solid...

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Samantha cautiously retrieves the carving fork from Jessica, keeping eye contact but a respeectable distance from where Daryl stands.

Also inspect Jessica to check how bad her wound is.

You take the carving fork off the ground.

It looks like the stake has penetrated a few cm into her chest and there is blood dripping out now..

her breathing sounds shallow..

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

smash Alice's brains out with my poker

this is not a valid attack command

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

you'd have to put something like

attack Alice with iron poker

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

a gust of wind blows into the room from the outside - it is chilly outside.

Alice leans out of the window and looks down, it looks like a fairly long drop down...

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Alice reads the Grimoire to read about ghosts and ladies in dark dresses

you do not find anything.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Alice removes diamond necklace

you can't quite get it off easily.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Alice touches silver candlestick to Jessica

you would have to ask Daryl for permission

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Alice walks up to the window again and leans outside - it looks like a pretty long fall - and it would be so easy to just let go..

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Time Reminder

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Alice puts her items on the floor and climbs up onto the window sill.

She is now leaning out of the window looking down forlornly at the ground far below.

The night wind blows her hair back gently. She looks like she has tears in her eyes.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Alice sits down on the windowsill. Her legs hanging out of the window - swaying in the wind. Her hair shines in the moonlight and she seems to be talking to someone down below.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Alice jumps out of the window

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

you see Alice lying on the ground far below - she doesn't look like she is moving.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Jessica rips the stake out and faces off with Samantha who eyes her warily with her trusty carving fork..

Samantha lunges at Jessica with her carving fork - moving impossibly quickly - and slashing at her. Jessica snarls as she moves aside at the last possible second and trips Samantha, throwing her to the floor and tackling her. She sinks her teeth into the dazed woman's neck and rips apart her jugular, blood spraying everywhere. She stands up with Samantha's blood dripping down her face...

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

There is an odd tension in the room as Jessica stands there with Samantha's blood running down her neck - she licks her bloodstained lips hungrily while looking around the room. It almost looks as if she is hunting?

Clines pulls a long wicked knife out of his jacket and wordlessly rushes her - surprisingly fast steps crossing the room with purpose. He leaps at her with a determined snarl and tackles her to the ground- their hands intertwined - rolling on the ground for leverage...

After several rolls the stronger man winds up on top pinning her to the ground- his eyes glowing with quiet determination. Jessica roars angrily pinned beneath him and twists and turns... - he is sitting on her waist in a mounted position while her legs kick uselessly beneath him

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Jessica tries to sit up for some leverage but Clines puts his entire bodyweight on her abdomen and she can't raise herself up far enough to get him - she tries to push him off but he won't budge....

He smiles as he raises the long wicked knife high up in the air above his head - it looks like he has some experience in doing this before.. He looks like he is enjoying her helpless struggles beneath him

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

"You can scream now, they always do at the end"

He smiles as he plunges the knife into her chest..

She catches his hands in hers as the knife nicks her skin - a violent grip and angry grip that holds his hands still as they struggle

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Time seems to slow down as they stare at each other - locked in their struggle as the knife hovers just above her chest - both combatants throwing all of their effort into it.

Clines grunts as he leans into the stab - shifting some of his bodyweight forward to lean on Jessica's arms as they hold his hands up.

Slowly the knife begins to moves down - sliding into her skin.

She suddenly lunges up - fangs sinking into his hand - he screams out in pain as she ravenously devours his blood...

Pushing him off her.. Jessica is all over him and rips apart his neck in an instant...

She stands up now - face and hair matted with blood and turns towards Andy

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Jessica starts laughing as she picks up Cline's knife from his dead body.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Andy does a line of coke, then he gets next to Samantha's dead body and paints a blood pentagram on the floor next to her.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

nothing seems to be happening btw

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

done

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

that is incredibly graphic and unnecessary mena :/

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Spoiler:

mechanics question: does Clines still have blood left to drain?

yea there's quite a lot of blood there still

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

ok Mena bashes in Samantha's head with his iron poker, destroying it completely.

he destroys the bloody pentagram on the floor with his shoes.

he then begins draining the blood out of Clines - done in (expired on 2020-10-28 04:54:00)

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

drop Clines' empty body to the floor and stand up, wipe my mouth with the back of my hand

Mmm, delicious. I only wish I could have drained you while you were still alive, Clines.

So, Jessica, what are you thinking? I'll be honest, I'm a little concerned about this zombie thing. They were talking about it earlier too, I don't think Andy is lying here.

What is a D60, Andy?

look around for the stake just to make sure Andy's not hiding it on his person

you see it on the floor in the corner of the room

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Andy lies down on the floor and eagerly waits to for Jessica.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Jessica kneels down and plunges her fangs into Andy's neck.. the blood flowing freely from Andy's veins.. He begins to feel faint after a minute..

Weakness overtakes him...

"Um Jessica, I don't feel too good..."

Jessica strokes Andy's shoulder to calm him down.. Her gentle touch calming him down.

He begins to feel more tired as his blood flows out

He isn't feeling any more - vampirey?

in a few more minutes it's all over - Andy's dead corpse staring lifelessly into the ceiling

Congrats Lilith, Menalque, Ambic for winning Haunted Mansion for the Vampire Team

Fwesnid also fulfilled his individual victory conditions and won

Postgame thread is here:

viewtopic.php?f=90&t=83806



Thanks for playing!

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

What happened with Sam? When did she become a demon? I wasn’t clear from the Solarium scene

Datisi had these illusion abilities that put Samantha in PTs all by herself where she would have visions of death and doom. This convinced Samantha to draw a blood pentagram and summon Datisi into the world, which caused Samantha to become a Demonic Vessel. She then took Ico's soul and recruited him into Team Demon. They were very close to winning the fight versus Lilith in the Main Hallway.

TW had a +4 combat modifier so the only way to lose was a 1-6 dice roll - which Lilith got and caused the main demon to get killed.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

The ideal victory for Mena / Ducky was to fall in love and live happily ever after.

It just didn't work out that way :3

Pablito it was so fun watching you fumble around each room <3

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I do, um, feel a little bad about Andy tho

Andy sold his soul to the Devil though.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

tfw you try to seduce a hot girl and she ends up stealing your immortal soul instead :3
