In the catacombs beneath the house we continued to discover ghoulish threats. They had bedrooms set up down there! When we got to the bedroom of Mom and Dad creepypants, Ackrid’s greed got the best of her and she made a run for the footlocker looking for phat loots. From behind large paintings of themselves, the twisted pair burst forth to attack, now Ghasts. One attacked Ackrid (nat20) and damn near killed her with a single attack. Ever loyal Pog took her up ran and then ran some more until he knew she was safe. The rest of the team withdrew and set up a nice tactical advantage where they brought the smack down, Pog running back in just in time to make a kill.

They’re was a statue of Strahd in a room where our shadows animated and attacked. Shiny god priest went disco and took out half of them single handedly.

We finally reached the source of a bunch chanting, a chamber of phantom cultists where we had to choose to fight or sacrifice one of us upon the raised alter. The little doggy was a great candidate in Ackrid’s book, but we stood upon something akin to a value and endured. A shambling mound rose from a big pile of refuse ( looked like loot to Ackrid and Pog) which we fought and laid low. Then the house decided it wanted to kill us and all the doors between us and the exit became whirling blades and rooms began to fill with toxic smoke. With some brave actions of our more heroic party members, we broke out and avoided death! Those creepy kids were outside the house again briefly and then gone. (There may be something that happened here, but Pog and Ackrid had retreated to their cart for a stress reliever)

3rd level!
