🐏 What Happened?

🍀 The party was hired by a merchant dwarf named Kael who recently bought a house for a cheap price, however this house is supposedly haunted according to the townspeople, therefore the party's goal is to go to this house, clean it and supposedly cleanse it to get rid of any ghost if there are any. With John and Mary Jane, they went into the house and not long afterwards, a child's voice was heard, telling the party to find them.
🍀 After nearly fighting a mimic, who nearly ate John's arm off, the group met up with Pax and Drav and continued with the exploration with Bonnibelle occasionally cleaning the cobwebs off. Upstairs they found a child who immediately went down the roof using a makeshift rope using the bedsheets to which Bonnibelle immediately followed after, however upon feeling a chilly wind in the room where the child have gone, Bonnibelle immediately made her way back upstairs to regroup and ask for assistance.

🍀 Upstairs they found the first boy Austin, then back at the room, Bonnibelle found James and Drav found Clint, all while the others managed to uncover the house's, formerly an orphanage, dark secret. After much convincing, the children finally agreed to leave the house, however another voice was heard and that voice, which was confirmed to be Louis. Soon the party search upstairs for more clue and a music book was found where the piece for "London bridge" was marked.

🍀 Going back downstairs where the piano was, Bonnibelle scanned the piece and began playing, pressing the keys on the old and out-of-tune piano, it opened the door to reveal the corpse of Louis, which was then followed by the appearance of his ghost, seemingly joyful that he was found, Louis played with the other boys one last time before moving on to the afterlife.
🍀 Meeting up with Kael, the party got their payment and Bonnibelle adopted the trio as her own. She would also like to help in burying Louis by collecting the flowers for the grave that will be made.

💨Mary Jane's Smoky Sentiment💨

I was hanging out at the tavern, having a delicious meal when I saw the ad by a merchant named Kael looking to get rid of ghosts in his new mansion. It sounds fun because what if the ghosts are friendly, am I right?

I was happy to find that John and Bonnie were also joining me on this quest, man! We met up with Kael at the Northern Village where his new mansion was. He didn't seem like a friendly person but at least he was paying us. Whatevs, I guess.

We arrived at the mansion and investigated the place. There were quite a few mimics hidden as chests there and we did end up having to fight a couple of them. John was unfortunately very injured in those fights, sigh... Drav and Pax also happened to join us. They seemed nice although a bit intimidating, but later I found that they are very genuine people. Drav is a guard of Dawnport and I've seen Pax in the tavern before.

Together, the 5 of us investigated the place only to find that there were real children hiding there the whole time! They were orphans and this mansion used to be an orphanaged ran by a very horrible and abusive headmaster. Oh my god, those poor things! We totally rescued them, of course, but after that there really was a ghost too.

We investigated further to find that there was a poor child named Louis who had died and we found his body in a hidden room behind the grand piano. It was so sad. Bonnie was really shaken by it but that also pushed her to adopt the other 3 children, Austin, James and Clint. So, that's really sweet and I'm glad the children have a home now.

Kael appears later and pays us our wages for "getting rid" of the ghost but I also made sure he gave each of those kids some money since they were being evicted from their home. He was hesitant but I'm glad he chose to do the right thing.

Pax also happened to find a Ruby of the War Mage and gave it to me. He seems tough, intimadating and more focused on his goals, but I think deep down, he is a very nice person.

After everything was over, all I can feel was sadness for the children as they had suffered for such a long time, especially Louis who unfortunately died all alone in the dark room by himself. It is heartbreaking what some people will do and I hope that the headmaster gets caught one day and pay for his crimes!

With a heavy heart and a lot on my mind, I need some time to myself to heal both emotionally and spiritually. I think I will avoid going into town for a bit.

Peace out ✌🏻☮️

What actually happened?

• John, Bonnie and Mary Jane saw the ad by Kael and decided to take up the job. We met up with Kael at the village just North of Dawnport.
• Kael needed help with getting rid of the ghosts haunting his newly bought house and also cleaning it.
• John, Bonnie and Mary Jane enter the house and was locked inside. John opens a chest in the corner and it turned out to be a mimic. We had to fight really hard just to kill it.
• At the same time, Drav and Pax appeared. They couldn't get into the locked house until the battle against the mimic was over.
• Together, the 5 of us explored the house, looking for clues and investigating the place. We separated for a bit and John got caught by another mimic which Pax and Mary Jane had to help get him out.
• After that, the party went upstairs where Mary Jane spotted a child out on the roof. With more investigation, the party found clues that there are real kids living there. The party caught one of the kids who lead them to the barn where the other kids were hiding.
• However, after finding all 3 kids, Austin, James and Clint, the haunted voice still came out and even the kids were surprised by the voice.
• With more investigation into the headmaster's room, we found that there is another child unaccounted for. Meanwhile, Pax managed to find a Ruby of the War Mage magic item too, which he later gave to Mary Jane.
• By playing the tune of London Bridge on the grand piano downstairs, a secret door opened up and we found the dead body of Louis. His spirit appears and said goodbye to his friends.
• John brought the body away to be properly buried in town while the other kids were brought to the village nearby and settled in a home and adopted by Bonnie. With some convincing, Kael also gave each child 50 gold pieces as pocket money. He also tried to hire them as child labour but everyone stopped it of course.

Drav's Adventure Note

📍 Where we went:

• The outskirts of Dawnport, beyond the walls where farmers’ houses are patrolled.
• A large abandoned two-storey manor house, suspected haunted, where the party investigated reports of fighting.
• Explored the west wing (dining area, kitchen), north wing (mimic encounter), first floor (bedroom with blood, study room), and the stable at the back of the house.
• The east wing on the first floor, where the Headmaster’s quarters were located and a hidden compartment behind a piano was discovered.

👥 Who we met:

• Pax, Bonnibelle Meadows, John Le Foque, and Mary Jane (the adventuring party).
• Austin, James, and Clint: Three orphaned children hiding in the manor.
• Louis: A ghostly child, revealed to be the most abused orphan under the Headmaster, whose rotting corpse was found behind the piano.
• Kael: The DM/session host who arrived at the end to confirm the situation.
• Nyxara (mentioned): Received the Ruby of the War Mage found in the Headmaster’s quarters.

⚔️ What happened:

Drav, patrolling the outskirts of Dawnport, heard fighting coming from an abandoned manor and joined Pax, Bonnibelle, John, and Mary Jane, who were there to clear the house of ghosts. Drav, initially skeptical of ghosts, helped lead the investigation. The group split up, with Drav and Bonnibelle finding footprints leading upstairs and evidence of recently eaten meals in the kitchen, suggesting children were playing pranks. They regrouped after Pax, Mary, and John fought a mimic on the ground floor, then explored the first floor where they found a blood-stained bed and spotted a child laughing from a window.

Drav jumped from the roof to capture a child, identified as Austin, who refused to name the others. Deductions from the three plates in the kitchen led the party to search for three children total. In the stable, they found James being convinced by Pax, Mary, and Bonnie, and Clint hiding in a hay bale. When Drav opened a chest, an illusionary girl appeared, followed by the ghostly figure of Louis, the most abused orphan under the Headmaster. The children revealed the Headmaster’s quarters were in the east wing, where Pax found a Ruby of the War Mage (given to Mary Jane).

Behind a piano in the east wing, the party discovered a hidden compartment containing the rotting body of Louis, confirming he had died and become a ghost. Kael arrived and was informed there was only one corpse and the ghost was gone. Drav explained his role as a Dawn Guard helping during patrol. The session ended with Bonnibelle, moved by the children’s plight, deciding to adopt them.
