Exploring the dusty 3rd floor, we found a disturbing letter talking about a sacrificial ritual from Mommy Durst. The parents are up to nothing good, this letter and those necromantic books, we’re gonna have to put them in the ground, if they still exist.
In the nursery we were greeted by a ghost nanny named Margaret, who we later learned was up to some hanky-panky with Daddy Durst. After telling her we’re friends of the family and here to help out, she reluctantly told us the directions to the basement.
Sekmet snuck over to the baby’s crib and saw it was empty with just blankets. As soon as Sekmet told us it was empty, Elthra flipped the baby’s crib with magic. He’s gonna burn us one day with this impulsive magic of his.
On our way to the basement, we found both the corpses and the ghosts of Rose & Thorn. The parents were doing something nasty in the basement. So nasty they locked their own kids in a room to hide it. Those poor kids waited until they starved! We found out why in a chest nearby: Margaret had been stabbed to death and shoved inside. She usually let them out, but was unable to this final time.
We finally made it into the basement, it felt far more like a crypt than a normal basement. There were stones engraved with the family member’s names blocking off various rooms with coffins in them. Except, all the coffins were empty. Rich people are so weird and wasteful, what’s wrong with burning corpses or putting them in the ground?!
