WFRP 2.0 The Haunting IC

"We best stay together as much as possible," Magnar said as he looks around, "none of us are in the best condition."

[LarsWester]

'So far. It's just bloody cold up here.' Varnya will look around to see if the mist is coming from anywhere in particular. Otherwise she'll check to see if there's any heat coming off the light sources up here. If it felt like it was getting noticeably colder she'll head for the stairs.

Varnya detects a slight warmth on her hand as she brings it near a lit lantern on the wall below the clock. From this landing the stairs split and continue up on either side. There is a choice to make as to which side to ascend. It appears as if the mist is spilling down from above from both sides but if Varnya had to pick a side with a stronger flow she would say it was the side on her left.

[Haval]

'If it's magic doing that I'd like to think we'd have noticed by now.' Varnya is not altogether confident with her reasoning here but will take the right hand staircase anyway just in case.

[farothel]

Magnar will leave the choise to Varnya, but he will go first, weapons ready.

[LarsWester]

Varnya starts up the staircase to the right before Magnar puts a hand up to stop her and take the lead. At the bottom of the steps remains the halfling and zealot.

The staircase on the right ascends and as you near the top the mysterious fog cloud only appears around your knees and below. The floor is impossible to discern and it makes your steps very disconcerting. About 6 yards in front of the dwarves is a door. A hallway opens to the right. Turning around they can see that the left stairwell raised up to a similar hallway and about 20 yards away is another door and hallway reachable by the stairway on the left. The mist seems a bit higher about up to their waist across the stairwell.

[farothel]

"It looks fine up here," Magnar called down, "there's some weird mist, but it's not dangerous."
Yet, he didn't add.

[dojango]

Jasmine cautiously ascends the stairs to stand behind Magnar and Varnya. She shivers as the mist wraps around her.

[LarsWester]

Jasmine wades her way through the mist that is up to her thighs to see the door before them and the hallway stretching out to the right.

[Haval]

Varnya is going to walk slowly using the butt of her hammer to tap the floor. 'Fine bloody luck if there's a hole in the floor somewhere.' At least nothing was trying to kill them up here. She'll carefully look around to see if anything stood out about the doors over on this side of the building.

[LarsWester]

Tap. Tap. Tap. The sound of Varnya's hammer shaft striking the floor rang out as she slowly approached the door. The mist spilled through cracks along the side of the door and roiling forth from the bottom of the door billowing up to the higher level in the hallway before spilling down the staircase to the level below. The source for this mist was definitely behind the door in front of Varnya. As she turned to her right she could see the mist clearing away and the hallway that lay in that direction. The hall ended in a door with two wooden doors visible on the right wall with a fourth door on the left wall further down the hall.

There are five doors in all.
1. Door by Varnya.
2. Door on the right wall 8 yards further down the hall.
3. Door at the end of the hall 14 yards away.
4. Door on the left wall 8 yards further down the hall.
5. Door on the left wall 14 yards away.

[farothel]

"Hey, wait for me," Magnar said, following Varnya.
"Oh great, more doors," he said when they noticed the doors, "let's wait for the others before we start opening any."
