The Head Housekeeper’s Room
Description:
A simple, modest living room with a desk and a bed. If a fight starts in here, the room will
expand to twice its size.
Status: The
door is closed. There is a sign on it
identifying it as the Head Housekeeper’s Room and “Please Knock first.” The door will only open if the characters
knock and are invited in by Causewell, “Yes, come in.”
Inhabitants:
Head Housekeeper Causewell is
inside. Here we have a Ghoul in a proper
servant’s dress. She has the key to the
Residence Area on a ring at her waist.
(Use your best shrill Englishwoman’s voice.)
Objective:
Causewell’s key is needed to get into the Residence Area. The characters can fight her for it or make a
deal for it. Award 2 XP for killing her.
She’s a very proper Ghoul
as she stands to greet the characters.
Causewell asks if they’ve found the accommodations to their liking and
if there’s anything she can help them with, for example she could let them into
the Residence Area (meaningfully jingles key).
Of course, Causewell wants a favor in return for letting them have her
key: she wants Solomon “taught a lesson about manners” or the Gillmen “put in
their place.” (Depending on if Solomon
is alive or not.)
The characters could go
ahead and attack her and get the key and/or complete their deal with Solomon/the
Gillmen. Or, they could go back out and
attack Causewell’s enemies. (Solomon
will come looking for them. Causewell
will say that the Gillmen should be in the bathroom.)
