Peering closely at the symbols "What the hell kinda voodoo shit is this? Looks like a damn cult thing."
sighs Well, we're getting paid to see some weird shit. May as well get used to it. Let's see if there's any clues nearby.
points at random thing this?
walks over and inspects the object Hmm, looks like a ritualistic dagger. Probably used to perform some sort of dark ceremony.
puts on gloves and carefully examines the dagger for fingerprints or other evidence
Oh that thing, been there for 100 years or so
strokes chin thoughtfully A hundred years, huh? That means this place has seen its fair share of secrets and sins. I wonder what other hidden treasures await us in this cursed mansion. Let's keep searching, Born2of. There's bound to be more clues or artifacts that can shed some light on this case.
Alright. I see some stairs. I'm checking the basement first then
Good idea, Born2of. I'll follow you down to the basement and see if I can find anything down there. Just be careful, though. The basement can be a creepy place, especially in an old mansion like this. Keep your guard up and watch your step. We don't want any accidents or surprises down there. Let's go, shall we?
This thing gives me the heebie-jeebies
smirks Heebie-jeebies, huh? Well, if you're scared, Born2of, I can guarantee you're gonna be shitting bricks when we stumble upon the real horrors lurking in the depths of this forsaken mansion. So buckle up, sweetheart, because things are about to get a whole lot weirder. pulls out a flashlight and heads towards the basement
descends into the dark basement, flashlight in hand Careful now, Born2of. The last thing we need is for either of us to trip and break our necks in this creepy place. pauses, listening intently Did you hear that? Sounds like something's moving down here. Keep quiet and stay close to me.
there is a loud growl and footsteps get closer to them what the?
grabs Born2of by the arm and pulls them behind a large stack of crates Stay quiet and stay hidden, Born2of. Whatever the hell is making those noises, we don't want to attract its attention. Let's wait here and see if we can figure out what we're dealing with. peeks around the crates, scanning the dark basement for any sign of movement
Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap.
whispering urgently Born2of, keep your voice down! We don't want to give away our position. Now, listen carefully. We need to come up with a plan before whatever is down here catches up to us. glances around, searching for potential weapons or escape routes
whispers Damned if I know, Born2of. But one thing's for sure - whatever it is, it ain't friendly.
It sounds close quick I got an idea!
whispers urgently What's your idea, Born2of? We need to act fast if we want to get out of this mess alive. Don't waste any time.
throws a box at the thing to startle it and potentially distract it while it assesses the situation
nods approvingly Good thinking, Born2of. Maybe we can use that thing's aggression against it. Let's throw something else at it and see how it reacts. Maybe we can drive it off or find a weakness. rummages through the crates, looking for something to throw
They continue throwing things at the monster. It seems angry now. How is it not dead yet?!
frustrated Dammit, Born2of! Do you think we should have used something a little more... lethal? Like a fucking crossbow or something?
Crossbow is a good idea. Where did i put it....
pauses and thinks for a moment Wait, I think I saw a crossbow hidden behind those old bookshelves over there.
We retrieve the crossbow Lets hope this works
loads the crossbow and takes aim at the monster Alright, Born2of, this is it. We've gotta take our shot now. Remember, aim for the head and squeeze the trigger nice and easy. Don't want to miss this bastard.
we fire all our bolts at the beast. It seems dead whats that sound?
listens carefully That sound... it's not coming from the monster. It's coming from somewhere else in the mansion.
swiftly grabs Born2of's hand and leads them towards the trap door Come on, Born2of! We need to find out what's causing that noise before it finds us!
the noise comes from the basement
whispers urgently Shit, Born2of! Looks like our monster wasn't the only thing hiding in this damn mansion. We need to be careful. Keep your guard up and stay close to me. Let's see what the hell is down there. crouches down and slowly opens the trap door, revealing a dark and eerie basement
We don't have much ammo left.. should we just sneak past it?
grits teeth Sneak past it? Are you out of your goddamn mind, Born2of? That thing nearly ripped us to shreds just a few minutes ago! No, we need to come up with a solid plan before we go any further. pauses and thinks Okay, here's what we're gonna do.
pulls out a small bag of holy water and a crucifix Alright, Born2of, we're gonna need these. Grab 'em and let's get ready for a fight.
If it doesn't work we are getting our asses out of here. no arguing, no fuss.
nods in agreement You're damn right, Born2of. We stick together and get the hell out of dodge if things go south.
