#10 Wickermoor Manor: Spirit Board

Party: Claus, Luther, and others

• The party investigates the Crooked House (the Manor).
• Strange signs: Magic sensed from the house and from the south. Weasels seen around the house, unusual in number.
• A tree with crooked apples is found in a room next to an oven — feels out of place among the dead surroundings.
• Two weasels encountered; the second has a tooth in its mouth.
• A clown-like figure holding an axe is encountered. The clown cuts into a door with the axe then disappears.
• A mysterious woman inside the Crooked House asks the party to save two children: Selly and Arthur. She vanishes, leaving behind a cup containing a black substance and a green ribbon.
• Oven Incident: Before opening the oven, screams are heard inside. A magical glyph on the inside triggers heat/fire damage when opened. Nothing is inside.

Items found/identified:

• Green Ribbon (now worn by Shalee around his neck)
• Cup with black substance → can break magical barriers
• Crooked Apple taken by Luther

Spirit Board Discovery:

• A spirit board is found in the next room with initials belonging to Lady Druskenvald.
• Questions asked: Are Selly and Arthur here? (No) / Who is here? (Petrieni) / Can Claus help save Selly and Arthur? (No) / How did Petrieni die? (Murder) / Who murdered Petrieni? (Hag) / What can we do for Petrieni? (Attic) / Are the Druskenvalts here? (Yes) / Where is the hag? (Attic) / What was Petrieni's job? (Butler)
• Warning: saying hello instead of a question deals damage to the party.
• Final message from the board: GEM, KEY, CUP, DOLL, BEAR, PIN
• Session ends in the spirit board room.
