Tammy and I continued where we left off, with Heather (Tammy) and Tesro Haldane (my character) continuing to explore a bit in the entryway to the manor/manse that we were at. I advanced on the door to what turned out to be a cloakroom, that was slightly ajar, and ended up fighting three opossums. I used the torch and cooked two of them (thus giving us some food, animals (and humans, for that matter) having Nutrition Value), but the third one skittered between my legs and fled into the main house. Heather (Tammy) had found some footprints, and was able to identify some of them as recent, but it was the arrival of one of our allies, Tam the hunter/guide (an NPC), who confirmed this, and that the prints of the men (most likely) who preceeded us were recent, made within the day or so, and led into the main house. We decided to camp with the others in our party, and explore the manse more by daylight.
I won't go into too much detail, but Heather and I teamed up the next morning, and found a couple of wooden tables in excellent condition that I could salvage, and she managed to lower one of the chandeliers in the ballroom and acquire some 35 candles from the chandelier. The two of us were attacked by a pair of wolverines, and while she disposed of hers easily enough with a staff, it took me a bit longer to kill the other one (with lots of blood in the area!) with my hand axe.
After that, it was close to 5:00 pm, and
When it comes right down to it, I can't say that
That said, I hope that he decides to run again in the near future, as I really liked having the gaming break for the month of July.
