WFRP 2.0 The Haunting IC

[LarsWester]

Stowing away their findings from the smoking room the group of four decided to try the double doors across the hallway. Beyond the doorway leads into a large chamber containing a teak dining table with 10 chairs around it. A pair of side tables held silver serving dishes, a silver soup tureen and silver ladle. There are silver, crystal, and china place settings in front of each chair and 2 large brass candlesticks located along the middle of the table. A thick layer of dust and cobwebs hang over everything in the room. As the last member of the party crosses into the room the doors slam shut behind them.

"Oh what fresh hell is this," Magnar said as the doors slammed shut. He readied his weapon just in case some new horror would creep out from somewhere, looking around to make sure he saw when it did.

Watch out for the shiny stuff, seems like the house don't like it when we try and nick the silver."

With her head turned towards the door the halfling didn't realize how apt her words were. Varnya was advancing towards the table when she heard Jasmine's words. To her shock the two silver candlesticks from the center of the table rose into the air and rapidly moved towards her swinging mightily towards her head.
At the same time two large carving knives flew across the room one aimed at Magnar and one at Helmut.

Varnya is paying enough attention to see the candlesticks coming at her. She'll duck under them and yank a serving platter from the table knocking whatever was on it onto the floor in the process. In theory there was a whole table full of such objects. Or was there something unseen throwing them at her?

Varnya ducks underneath both candlesticks. As she does she looks up at the candlesticks catching her reflection in the polished silver. The candlestick rotates slowly and the dwarf swears that right above her own eyes there is a second pair of eyes that blink.

[dojango]

Jasmine sees the floating candlesticks and flying knives and swears. "Manglepie's kitchen!" she says, and then grows embarrassed. Granny would wash her mouth out with soap for saying something so foul. She pulls her club out and makes a wild swing at one of the floating knives to hide her embarrassment.

With the floating knife so close Helmut fails to connect with a awkward swing of his morningstar.

The floating candlesticks aim low at the dwarf catching her on her right leg. With the combined strike it felt like her leg was caught within a vice. While the battered kitchen knife rose from the floor and caught the halfling on her right leg catching a major artery and ripping upwards. The zealot didn't fare much better when the floating knife dodged his clumsy attack and delivered a nasty gash on the man's right arm. The dinning room suddenly was getting very dangerous.

Magnar was surprised that the items didn't attack him and angered when they struck down his fellow dwarf. What was going on here. He attacked the nearest object, trying to keep them from his comrades.

Jasmine falls to the floor, bleeding. She groans and lets go of Pickle's collar. She tries to crawl away from the flying cutlery and hide under the dining room table where it's safer.

Snarling as the carving knife came back around to take a chunk out of his arm, Helmut brings his morningstar back up to take another swing at it.

As Jasmine bleeds profusely from her leg, Magnar jumps forward slamming his axe down on the knife dripping the halfling's blood. The force of the axe blow slams the knife to the floor breaking it at the hilt. The female dwarf and zealot were not as lucky with their attacks as their targets narrowly evading their blows. One of the two candlesticks flew forward to confront the bounty hunter and his axe but the dwarf seemed ready for the attack and it failed to connect. The other candlestick scored a viscous hit on the female dwarf this time battering her on the head. The remaining knife sliced a large gash along Helmut's left leg.

Magnar's axe struck true heavily denting the candlestick that attempted to pummel him. The blow drove the candlestick to the floor and it ceased moving. Whatever enchantment empowered it into a deadly object dispelled by dwarven might and wrath.

Magnar wasn't surprised he was the target of the next attacks, as he was doing to most damage to the item's 'friends'. The first one missed just but the second came straight at him. In a reflex he swung his hammer and by chance he hit the object dead on as it came flying towards his arm. The impact of the object on his hammer was not good for the object, as it shattered by the force of the impact.

Jasmine cowered under the table, watching the dwarf deal with the vengeful cutlery. She took her club and went around thumping the fallen cutlery as hard as possible to make sure it didn't get up again. She grabbed the tablecloth off the table and started throwing all the cutlery she could find in it and began tying it up to trap it.

While the remaining cutlery is distracted with Magnar, if a knife could be said to be distracted, Varnya will try to bring it down from behind.

The last floating piece of crafted metal collapsed to the ground under the Zealot's blow. The threat in the dining room neutralized the unfortunate group of explorers have a minute of respite.

Magnar looks around to see if there is anymore flying stuff around, before lowering his hammer.
"Anybody needs some first aid and anybody qualified to give it," he asked as he looked around the room for any clue what was happening and who was responsible.
