#ALL THAT REMAINS PART 1 OVERRIDE FREE#

Any character that is nearby hears the sounds of the armor fidgeting, then breaking free from its stand. When the ghosts first make their appearance, a fading ghost that is marked by Gabrien moves to the suit of armor and inhabits it. The door that connects the hallway to area 18, the ‘ Main Study’, can be unlocked with the trifold MacHale key, causing the doorway to instead open into area 23, ‘Vincent’s Hidden Study’ (see the ‘Enchanted entrances’ section of area 23, ‘Vincent’s Hidden Study’).ĭevelopments.

A character that compares it to any of the individual key pieces can also recognize the similarity. The crest is the same as that of the complete trifold MacHale key, indicating their possible connection. The doors to the other rooms are all closed or only slightly ajar, except for the door to area 15, the ‘ Master Bedroom‘, which is wide open.Ī character that succeeds on a DC 13 Wisdom (Perception) check of the north-eastern wall notices a spot where a painting was once hanging.ĭoor to the secret study. A character that looks closely at the doorknob of the door connecting to area 18, the ‘ Main Study‘, or that succeeds on a DC 13 Wisdom (Perception) check of the door itself, notices that the knob is decorated with a family crest: a lance-wielding knight atop a rearing stag, with a warhound beside them. An open door connects to another smaller, un-decorated hallway that leads to areas 16, 17, and 18. There is little else to find, as any valuable contents of the dresser have been removed and the suit of armor is decorative and unfit for practical use. A long landscape painting hangs on the western wall opposite the landing and depicts a port city. The second-floor hallway serves simply to connect the many other rooms. Refer back to the previous entry and the adventure’s index to learn more about what brought the characters here…

But what they do with their discoveries may prove even more important than uncovering them, as this adventure’s conclusion looms ever closer. Each of the group’s interactions, investigations, and the information they gather leads them towards exposing and confronting Gabrien and finally reaching the house’s treasure. The second floor has many more rooms to discover and explore, bringing the party even closer to the estate’s secrets. The characters have already seen the house’s gardens, first floor, and basement, but much remains to be found upstairs. They will bide their time until the party has no chance to escape.

There is nothing to be seen, of course, as the many spectral eyes that watch the group do so from beyond the Material. They watch for signs of danger or any horrors waiting to strike, ever wary of what might still inhabit the manor. The group of nervous adventurers continues through the dilapidated rooms. But the sound dissipates without any violent retaliation. The creak of the stairs echoes across the house’s second floor, shocking the movement in the opposite room to silence.
