[IC] Chapter 4: The Wergyn Estate

Re: [IC] Chapter 4: The Wergyn Estate
As you read, dust begins to fall from the ceiling in increasing volume, accompanied by small pieces of plaster. Meanwhile, the cottage begin to creak and groan alarmingly.
Re: [IC] Chapter 4: The Wergyn Estate
"He knew me by name!" gasps Cynthia, showing the others what she has found. "He spelled it wrong, but it's clearly me he's writing about. He knew we were coming, from his dreams. He tells me we must all go under the church and put Him down before we're crushed! There's been a deal between the villagers and the O'Kent family lasting centuries whereby they received payment, so that the evil could be contained, but the new Squire is who he is and the villagers no longer believe. He also writes that only through his magick does his house still stand." She looks up. "The magick died with him. I think we need to get out of here before the cottage collapses and get to the church ruins, then find a way underground."

Re: [IC] Chapter 4: The Wergyn Estate
"Underground... MIss Knight? Perhaps in a crypt?"
Grigori beckons his friends under the lintel of the doorway...
"We should I think make our way to the church without any further delay..."

"Yes, let's go!" says Cynthia, placing whichever of the fragile books will fit into her handbag as she hurries outside.

Re: [IC] Chapter 4: The Wergyn Estate
"Hang on everyone, I'm not so sure that's a good idea. There's an undead fiend in the crypt of that church, and I'm not so sure we can prevail against him."
Points to book. "It says here that anyone entering the crypt will be assailed by phantoms. I imagine they'll be like the visions we've already experienced, but worse."

"If so, we can deal with them," says Cynthia. "They have the power to deceive, but not to harm. Now we know how to see through them. O'Kent equipped us for the fight ahead as best he could. We already have his attention, and if we don't go after him, he'll come after us. We may not win, but we have to try."

"I suppose there isn't much choice. It's a bit late in the day for trying to rebuild the barriers."
Re: [IC] Chapter 4: The Wergyn Estate
As if to concur, the ceiling of the cottage groans again. Upstairs, something crashes to the floor, showering you with chunks of plaster.
Meanwhile, the glass in the small parlour window cracks as the wooden frame buckles.

"Get out of there!" calls Cynthia, already outside. "It's about to collapse!"

Re: [IC] Chapter 4: The Wergyn Estate
More chunks of plaster drop from the ceiling, preceded by an even louder crash upstairs.
Should you gentlemen wish to follow Miss Knight’s lead, you may do so without hindrance.
However, if you wish to tarry, then please furnish me with DEX rolls, lest part of the upper floor lands upon your noble heads.

Re: [IC] Chapter 4: The Wergyn Estate
Grigori springs out the door with alacrity, preferring to brave the weather than the rain of plaster and debris...
Re: [IC] Chapter 4: The Wergyn Estate
As you tumble out of the cottage, a loud CRACK heralds it's collapse. Looking back from a relatively safe distance, you watch as the humble dwelling seemingly implodes, crunching into itself amid a cacophony of creaks, snaps and groans.
Soon all that is left is a flattened pile of rubble, bits of which are taken and spun around by the maelstrom of wind that howls, as if in triumph, around you.
Odd then, how these gusts have failed to pluck the sheets and ragged clothes off the line at the end of the garden, nor disturb the thick mist that, save the occasional glimpse, obscures the ruined church that lies beyond.

"Phew!" says Cynthia. "I'm glad everyone made it out. That was too close! Good thing the washing is still standing. That's the only part of the barrier left. We don't have much time. Let's head to the ruined church."

Re: [IC] Chapter 4: The Wergyn Estate
Fighting your way through the flapping sheets and howling wind, you soon reach the remains of a stone wall (presumably the one which encloses the ruined church).
The whole area is encased in a damp, swirling mist, making it difficult to make out any details, save the looming black bulk of the edifice, some distance in.
Please oblige me with a spot hidden roll.

"What is that strange figure over there... Is it watching us...?"
Re: [IC] Chapter 4: The Wergyn Estate
"I see it too," says Cynthia. "It could be another illusion."

Re: [IC] Chapter 4: The Wergyn Estate
Professor Garrett, you panic momentarily as the maelstrom of fog envelopes you.
However, a gust of wind swirls it away an you catch sight of your companions...
...and the figure, head still cocked to one side.
The three of you can just about make out the rough path, leading into the ruins, upon which this individual stands. Either side of this path the ground appears rather rough, replete with broken gravestones poking out from tall grass and gorse.
