Sesel's Account: The Haunted House

(The account of Sesel by his player Jacob, earning Sesel 100 xp per level)

 After our last expedition into the Hive (https://telalsafina.blogspot.com/2020/11/sesels-account-into-hive.html) my colleague Avin and I found ourselves intrigued. Collecting a new colleague, Persephone and a few hirelings to aid us we set out again, finding ourselves drawn back to the Klakon spire, and the mysterious 6th house.

We made our way into the spire, finding our way upon the sixth house. Wherein we seeked adventure!

We made our way through to our previous investigations on the tower, finding ourselves at a stuck door. We investigated it to some extent but were unable to make our way through.

Turning from that we investigated the remaining door we’ve yet to explore. Here we found a hall with Klakon perches and the book strands we returned with, scattered about the room as though for reading or perhaps weaving. 

From here we explored through further doorways. Passing through a corridor with small side rooms Klakon princesses and ladies could prepare themselves for court. Finding here some long-dead Klakon bodies, with sword wounds pierced through the neck.

The end of which led us to what looked like a small court chamber, with a raised dias and throne. It was here that we spent some time searching and investigating, as there was a door further. However, during our investigations strange not-Klakons approached from our rear.

We, alerted to their presence before their arrival, had formed up and prepared. Seeing this sight they retreated. We gave some chase, making our way down into the depths of the tower. It was here we retrieved the strange sword. Though we found ourselves confronted with more of these non-Klakons than we could reasonably fight. Deciding that we would prefer to keep ourselves intact we made our way back from whence we’d come, up the steps and out, the things either unable or unwilling to give further chase.

Luck was with us, for not a one of us suffered any major wounds. Having returned to Cothon-Under-Star in such a shape I renewed my vigour to train with the free-Klakon warriors so that in the future our survival is less based upon luck, and more upon my skills with the sword.
