Day One

Gnashdar hires Prue and Kaithlin (and others) to go to Castle Black aka Castle Erewhon in Erewhon and sort out problems before the wedding of Turf (the theoretical/possible Baron of Erewhon]] and Ithilmor (the theoretical well behaved bride to be aka Bridzilla) as some are expected, while others will just happen.

We travel via sea between Seagate and Gullet Hollow arriving one week later. We travel by horse up to the castle and are given quarters before meeting with the Seneschal.

Meeting with Argent the dwarf. He is harried and flustered. He wants to employ us to investigate two problems,

• ghosts in the kitchen
• and oddly a tall bear with arms in the woods.

Argent seems keen to keep any loot we find after some haggling it settle is on "Turf can keep reasonable loot". I am unimpressed but the others seem unconcerned.

Things are looking up when Argent calls for the dishy Lt Message to show us around. Sadly it is a short walk to the secondary kitchens to meet with Francis.

Into the haunted corridor

Francis seems like a smart no nonsense type, she tells us her story over a glass of good port.

Some of her people had been running from the kitchen in panic attacks. At first Francis had written it off as youthful silliness, then it happened to her. None of the kitchen staff will return to the kitchens.

We set ourselves up in the Kitchen, hoping to meet with the ghosts.

After some hours of boredom and poor food choices by the orc, everyone is feeling sleepy when Kaithlin spots a skeletal rat. It's easily dispatched. Everyone is now on high alert Gnashdar notices not only a rat but a rat hole.

Venturing outside, Racka the Sargent on duty shows us into a storeroom behind the kitchen, No Rats!

Scrying through the hole we see a corridor with a door into the kitchens. No thought for our safety into the haunted corridor we go.

We come to a round room with a large box in the centre. The rats are inserting small bones into a slit in the box. It is making a sickly grinding crepitous rasp. Lifting the cover off the box it is discovered to be a bone box.

Biff bam crash. !

Gnash deals the box a mighty blow
