September 27, 1335:

Vito doesn’t remember anything.

V/Gen/G wake at the same time. Gen casts create or destroy water, puts water on for tea,
V is pretty disoriented, wakes up on the table, grabs for the water. Weird height. Sluggishly rubs his eyes. G glances at A. A: how are you feeling? V: me? A little weird. I’m on the table. Gen thumbs up his drinking.

He is drinking. He doesn’t remember what happened after walking upstairs, which G and A confirm. A drops the bomb: “you turned into a werewolf.” (Gen gasps as the forthrightness.) V begins to panic as G and A explain what happened, and that he was trying to maul them. V denies he would hurt them, that it was weird ghost shit. He turns to Gen to help. She patiently

He desperately looks for another explanation. Gen explains what happened with he runcle. V is taking comfort in her words but also afraid since she’s a hunter, so he sort of backs away. He says “I don’t want to hurt anyone. I don’t think I’m like that lady. I kin dof want to go home and see my mom.” G to Gen: is there anything that can be done? Or is he going to be like this forever?

Catching it early is usually best for curing it. Gen also explains there’s lots of different kinds of lyncathropy, as well as their job as monster hunters to decide what the right response is to any given person. She reassures him that managing the lycanthropy is something he can learn to understand. V wavers, but it’s less about your head and more about understanding with your heart

A suggests going to the kitchen to see if the chimney witch something. Gen will have breakfast ready whent hey get back. She assures V no lasting damage,t hey healed up before they went to sleep. L is just a person who doesn’t allow herself to sleep as much as she needs.

“G can you ask Gen to apologize to L for V when she wakes up?” Gen is trying not to laugh. V starts apologizing to everyone.

A: how are you doing, V? V: I don’t want to talk anymore. A: how are you doing? G: I’m okay. A: how are you, chimney witch? V: do you two feel safe traveling with me? Should I stay with them? A: I’m fine. Gift? G: (thinking about it) I’m not currently afraid, so. A suggests taking whatever help Gen offers. V is worried he can’t help people this way, but A reassures him that he’s probably the most morally good out of all of them. The conversation devolves into whether A would want to kill them as a werewolf, and V decides he’s over this conversation.

A pawprint shaped cookie with fancy L in pale blue icing. A is convinced the witch is trying to say “Help”. They give the cookie to V, who is worried now about eating chocolate, but A doesn’t think that’s a problem.

They go back to the parlor. There’s breakfast laid out. L: how you feeling, buddy? She teases him that his mouth is wolfish, and he freaks out, but she makes a point that they’re still friends. What are their plans? Third floor/roof. V is just doing what he’s told. G reminds him he has a say, but he doesn’t want one at the moment. A: “I think the witch is the only one I like in this house.” L: I think I agree. V liked the cat ghost.

They head back upstairs. A explains to G what wild magic is on the way up. Does gift understand someone who has innate magic vs learned magic? Sort of – she was gifted hers. When A uses detect magic, it’s something they learned to do. When G does it, it’s something she can simply draw on. Other ways to do magic involve people having sex with something they shouldnl’t have, or maybe strange circumstances – different rules for gift vs. A has an innate connection to a pool… anyway, when I reach into this innate connection to do magic, rather than always bringing out what I need or looking for, sometimes there’s a build up like static and after enough time with enough magic, witout enough rest, a different magic will come out. Like the grease or the ice. I can’t control it, it simply happens. It often isnt’ destructive? It can be. It can be. But mostly it’s harmless. G: so it’s like reaching into a handbag and grabbing the wrong thing. So for me… it’s like when I cast magic, I use what’s handed to me. A: yeah, for you, you rely on an external force to grow your magic.

Upstairs, A teases V a little bit with details of their fight. Agatha’s room is locked, Victro’s room is not. They go in Victro’s room. They try the small key on agathat’s door and the footlocker. Aadi investigates 22 with help, nothing much to find. A thinks about shocking grasp, but it probably wouldn’t rbeak the lock.

They go into the family room and look around. A 15 investigation to find hinges behind the portrait. They find silver jewelry, and a wand of magic misttles, and a mark of the raven amulet. V pales when he goes intot he next room, the destroyed nursery. Weird art on the walls. V is panicking and A is creeped by the murals, so only a 9 investigation.

A touches the door and a shield appears as burned in. They recall Theodora said “Restore her shield”. A arcana 9: abjuration magic and some kind of puzzle involved, but no more information.

They head out to the roof. Dark clouds. A sees the hag stone. Casts mage hand to poke around. The witch stone is clear. A remembers moving the planchette to the candle. A suggests G’s light spell, but G needs to touch something. They have torches, but no candle. V suggest he clmbs over, but A cuts him off saying it’s stupid. They go back downstairs to find a candle. V steals the cat bed and while in the room. G goes to the office (nothing but stubs), goes back to the nursery. Can’t find anything there, a little weirded out by the destructive, unnerving, bad vibes. Baked good in the hearth: an éclair with the letter P. It’s good shit. G finds a key inside it but also eats the pastry. A also goes the nursery to check the shield out, but no new information. A goes back to the ballroom, wh ere they were screamed at, candle in the ballroom. 2 candles get!

Back on the roof, presti to light the candle, mage hand to pass it over onto the witch stone. While this is happening, G races up, explaining she found a key in another pastry. G confirms the word “help”. The candle doesn’t do anything. Would lighting a fire hurt the chimney witch? What if they made a pastry for the witch? A is very excited about this idea. What ingredients do they have? Hardtack, nuts, honey?

They go back to the parlor. “Gennifer they want to cook food for a ghost” – V. they explain they want to communicate with the witch with pastry. G offers honey and dried fruits. They get a mortar and pestle from the conservatory – or trying. (Gen is currently using one for herbalism, as V watches.) A uses a torch and a bowl. Gen contributes butter. G puts together a scone. But with a 5 in wisdom check, it uhhhhhh fails badly. It’s scone shaped? A: do we… give it to her? They toothpick “sorry this is bad, can we light a fire in your chimney” but dex disadv for 9. A: we just gotta hope she heard us talking this whole time.

They leave it on the hearth. And turn around. Gen is showing V how to use the mortar and pestle (she’s trying to cheer him up). They explain to l aurie that they lit the candle. When they return, the fire is blazing in the hearth, and the scone is gone. They go up to the roof, and nothing is different. Nothing has changed on the shield door also.

They try to figure out what the next step is. V wonders about the chimneys, but the kitchen chimney and the wtich stone are connected. Maybe… they have to fight whatever is in the basement? They could do another séance. Where does that key fit?

Third floor: they get into agatha’s room and see the plaque. G also sees the trail of fingernails leading to the bag – it’s transmutation magic. Transmutation is about changing the physical state of something – into another substance or something. G is freaked a little, although A is not. She takes out her staff and pokes it. It slumps over. Maybe it only responds to living things? A could try to open it with mage hand… WILD SURGE – A’s voice permanently changes higher by one octave. G: you sound… different? A: do I? Oh that’s fascinating. (A knows it could probably be removed with some kind of magic)

The bag is open but you can’t see naything in it. A turns it over, nothing falls out. They might be able to ask Gen about it. V wonders if they’re sick of them – Gen might not be, and Laurie might not be, but… V avoids A’s offer to have a moment. They do hug, though.

They go to the locked door and smush one berry. It unlocks. It matches what gift saw, yes. They hear voices from the toys. V: don’t call your brother a donkey! G: you can call them.

A: your mother sent us to help you. They introduce themselves ot each other. V: we’ve talked to her. A: she wants us to restore a shield. Mommy put a shield on the room. To keep the hungry things out! They took away our mommy and our daddy! No it’s good that you broke the shield! We didn’t know how to get out. Gift offers to help them get out. They are overjoyed. A picks up the dragon (who picked up the knight). They talk about how to get people out, - they might not be able to leave. They talk about doing another séance, and how they can leave. V will stay behind with the toys, while they go down to the séance…

BUT THEN THEY LEAVE. TOYS GATHER TOGETHER.

Round 1: carrionette silver needles gift. G sacred flame carrionnette, hit. Scarecrow glares at gift, paralyzing her with fear. Other carrionnette crit hits G. A: uh, vito? And catapults a book: (a little rewinding time, glitchy before launching) hit! V: panicks and the panic triggers some shift, teeth get longer, face gets little sharper, runs in between gift and the thing she’s scared of, his natural impulse in of sound mind is not to be a scared animal but to protect who he cares about, 1 hit on scarecrow

Round 2: carrionnette misses, thrown off by vito running by; gift is paralyzed; scarecrow 1 hit 1 miss v; carrionnette hits G; A sapping sting, carrionnette prone; V 2 hit on cnette

Round 3: cnette miss G; G uses healing dice, and the ki-rin horn appears, then sacred flame; scarecrow glares at her and is paralyzed, then moves away as V crit miss; cnette hit G; A witchbolts the scarecrow, doing lots of damage; V recklessly hits cnette, dead, 1 hit other;

Round 4: g paralyzed; scarecrow tries to frighten gift, fails; cnette misses; A maintains damage; V reckless, 1 hit cnette dead, 1 crit scarecrow dead; rips its throat out, tears through the toothpicks, head hanging from its teeth;
A is having a great time. V: “I guess I did transform last night. I think I get it now.” A: You probably saved G’s life. G, are you alright? G: I’ll be… I’ll be okay. A gives G their potion of healing.

Nothing but thunder and mist. A looks pale, they don’t like this. G: the house is pissed. (the ki-rin is THRILLED gift was protecting the kids)
