As you awake you feel fine and things look normal in the house.

[Priest]

Warren Kaine

"What the...."

Warren thinking:   Illusion, a goddamed illusion, seemed real enough though.

I feel a tickle in my throat, I want to cough.

[DetectiveSocks]

Propping the front door open and running to Warren's side, "You okay there big guy?" As Jordie looks over to see the rest of the disorientated group, all looking like they've run through hell and back.

[Silver Priest]

"Damn ghost. Seems like it has a few tricks up its sleeve." Michael slowly gets to his feet, still smelling faint traces of smoke. "Much obliged ma'am. Even if that was an illusion, It felt damn real enough to kill us."

"Their looked to be a fire. Everything was burning, I and some of the others were overcome by smoke... but it was all fake. That doesn't matter now. What does matter is keeping that front door open at all times. Let's keep that prop in there."

He turns to look at the others, catching his breath. "The way I see it, the house did not pull out the big trick until we tried to enter that locked door. I think we need to see what's behind it."

Warren Kaine

"Thanks sweets, prettyist looking cavalry I ever saw but arrived in the nick of time" I grin at Jordie although I'm not sure whether I want to grin or be sick.

Warren thinking:   this house is beginning to piss me off.

I nod at Michael's suggestion, "Yeah I get the feeling someone or something really doesnt want us to open that door, so lets open the damn thing anyway. But..." again I smile at Jordie, "Like the man said make sure the front door stays open"

[DetectiveSocks]

A puzzled look runs across Jordie's face. She glances between the distressed gang and the door, as if they were hanging on by a thread so long as the door is opened, it seemed to be the light at the end of the tunnel. Though, the moon is about to roll by pretty soon, and Jordie had a feeling madness would fall on this house.

"So are we still staying here? Or should I fetch Harrison over?" As Jordie helps Warren get up on his feet.

[BenTheRat]

You do notice a phone in the living room.

[Papa Gateau]

Yeah man, tha's what i was thinking Sonny wheezes as he gets to his feet. "Everytime we go near that door, things get weird. It looks like the more interested we are the wierder and more scary they get! he coughs a few times, expelling imaginary smoke from his scorched lungs.

"I say we get a sledgehammer so that we can smash the door open if we can't open the lock. I really don't want to spend too much time in here no more but we gots to find out what's behind that door"

[DrVendetta]

Richard rolls over and sits up on the floor with his back against the wall, turns and takes in a deep calming breath to calm his nerves as the realization that this was not real sets in. He then looks to the others and says "So you all saw fire to then? It just wasn't playing on our own internal fears?"

[Priest]

Warren Kaine

"Oh I saw it, and felt it alright. It was started by some creature who climbed down the outside wall in that damned picture in the front room. It wants to play with fire? Okay. First take the damned picture outsided and burn it, then smash the flaming locks to the basement"

I reach down a hand to Richard, "Here pal", then I turn to an obviously confused Jordie, "Sure call Harrisson, tell him to come here, because I don't think anybodys ready to leave just yet"

I look towards the basement door, "Sledgehammer, yep that should do it. Do we have one?"

[DrVendetta]

Richard stands with the hand from Warren and says "ok I agree we need to take the picture out of the house and see if that effects anything inside, as far as the basement door goes we could probably take the hinges off since the dead bolts open from this side I assume the hinges are on this side as well" saying that Richard looks down the hall at the door to see which side the hinges are on.

[BenTheRat]

The hinges are on this side. You would need some tools to get the hinge pins out.

[Occigon]

"Sledgehammer or take the pins out of the hinges, either will do," muses Charles. "But let's make sure that the door can't be closed again once we're inside."

[Papa Gateau]

I'm with you on that Charles! - I think we need to rush in and get that door open as quick as possible! I don't think we'll have time for messing with the hinges - let's just smash the door in and go down before the house starts screwing with our heads again!

He looks around at everyone - knowing he is as wide-eyed and shocked as the others but trying not to think too hard about the mass-hysteria they all just experienced.

[BenTheRat]

The realization that has now settled in that you were all experiencing the same thing. Not just you having a bad dream, but you were awake feeling, hearing, seeing and smelling this event.

OOC:   So the 5 of you all need to make a sanity 1/d4 roll.

[Priest]

OOC:   Invisible castle has gone kaput. Does anyone know how the forum dice roller works?

[BenTheRat]

OOC:   well that sucks. Keep going for now. If its not back up in a few hours, I'll roll for everyone.

[DetectiveSocks]

OOC:   The forum dice roller isn't too hard to learn. Simply, press the "dice" button, type in the kind of dice you want to use, such as 1d100 or 1d4 inside the parentheses brackets. Afterwards, just click post and it'll roll the dice for you. However it's kinda awkward, if you're like me, and like to write whether or not you successfully or failed a roll, since you can only see your roll after you post something. Still don't get it? Just click "quote" button on my post, and just read the HTML code I written.

Sanity Roll 55%,[dice]0[/dice]

EDITED:

OOC:   Oh lovely, I just tried rolling but for some reason it didn't worked. I just did this roll for another game and worked fine for me :/

[BenTheRat]
