IC: Ch 7: Into the House

The old Corbitt house is shrouded in dark rumours and fearful whispers. Its past residents have all had grisly experiences in there, and the few which are able to speak of it will not. Now, pulled in by the promise of money, several investigators try to to find the house's dark secret.

"I see someone, outside the window!"

Warren and Sonny's warning stops Michael right before he enters the room. He suddenly feels very exposed.

"The flying bed? I didn't believe you when you mentioned it before, but now..." he leaves the thought unfinished.

"The noise was coming from that room, I'd swear to it. Can anyone go around back and check out the house? I saw a shadow moving around outside the window." Michael shouts down the stairs.

Warren Kaine

Keeping my eyes firmly fixed to the picture I shout to Sonny, "Take a look round the back Sonny. I don't know what the fuck is going on but I aint taking my eyes off this picture for a moment"
Ben,can I still see the figure in the picture?

Sonny heads towards the room which should be directly below the one with the flying bed.
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

Michael,everything in the room looks normal except for the shadow moving back and forth across the window.
.
Warren,yes you still see the figure, he is jumping back and forth in front of the window. You can see michael through the window standing in the doorway of the room. Yes the picture seems to have turned.
.
Sonny,you aren't quite sure exactly where, but the kitchen window seems too far down the hall, that is probably below the bathroom. Must be the dining room, which is between the kitchen and living room. No one has gone in there yet.
.
Richard,you hear the yelling going back and forth as you run up the stairs, you see Michael kick open the door then stop looking in. You stop right at his back.
.
Ok, I've given everyone updates, let me know what you are doing next.

Richard yell back down "Talk to me Warren whats going on what am I looking for?"
Richard continues past Michael looking out the windows on the right as he does, until he reaches the last door which he opens.

As Richard walks further down the hall the windows to the right look normal, looking out into the side yard of the house. Its a cloudy day but still plenty lit. Nothing unusual.
.
When you get to the last door and open it.
Richard,You see, an ordinary bedroom, with a double bed, bookshelf, and window view, apparently used as the master bedroom. More crosses and many candles are here, and a rosary and breviary rest on a table beside the bed.

Ben,I am checking out the window as well from the doorway. If I don't notice anything out of the ordinary in the room I go to the next door and open it here is a spot hidden roll in case you need it [url]http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4310216/[/url] a 73% which is a failure since my chance is 45%

Dr V,I really need to let Michael, Sonny and Warren do stuff now before you move back to the other room. But as soon as they do I'll post this result. Unless something WOW happens in which case I'll assume you are changing your move.

Michael follows Richard down the hall and looks over his shoulder into the last room.

Warren,As you see Michael through the picture move away from the door and down to the other room, you now can see that door open and Richard and Michael looking in. You see the creature, open the window and climb in, go up and shut the door. That room goes dark.
.
Michael and Richard,The door to the bare room you left, shuts.

Sonny runs into the kitchen and notices nothing out of the ordinary from when you were there last. You run into the dining room through the entry way. You can see Warren standing in front of the fireplace looking up at the picture hanging above it in the living room through the opposite entryway. There are no doors into this room.
.
The dining room is complete with a long mahogany table, a built-in sideboard, and seven chairs. Three places are set, and unused. Scraps of
rice soup rots in a tureen.
.
There are 2 windows in this room. The first one closest to you would be right below "the room" you look out but don't see anything, just the yard. Its still day, though it is overcast.

Warren Kaine
Warren thinking:   This is bullshit, but in for a penny.  
As the room goes dark, I shout up to Richard and Michael, "Did the door just close? I can't explain this stuff, but just stay out of that room."

Taking my eyes off the picture momentarilly I call to Sonny, "Did you see anything outside?" Then "Come in here and look at this damn picture so I know I'm not losing my mind"

Michael gives a startled shout and jumps as the door closes.

He turns towards Richard. "Maybe we should go back downstairs. You know, make sure the others are okay. I have a feeling we're in over our head here."

Charles joins Sonny and Warren in the dining room. He looks up at the painting. "This one? What should we be seeing?"

Sonny is still in the dining room.
Warren,once the room went dark, the house rotated back to its original picture just as Charles walks up.
Charles,as you walk up and look at the picture, it is a painting of the house. But nothing special.

Richard stands to the side of the doorway where he heard footsteps and opens the door to have cover from the wall in case a bed comes flying at him, his gun ready.
