We continue to explore the attic.
We keep seeing creepy illusions.
I cast Detect Arcana on all of us.
Several Manitou at the stairs!
Bunch of partial solitaire games.
Blank book.
EmmaSchneider picks it up and freezes. I knock the book out of her hands.
She sees things.
Then the cards erupt and attack us.
EmmaSchneider tells us about the visions - the man (Wanamaker?) is gambling with spirits, giving people to a haunted deck. I think Wanamaker has the deck.
We see some more Manitou, but they flee.
We continue searching.
We find an entrance to the mines in the kitchen, under some loose floorboards.
We see SilasWanamaker and the Sheriff's men. ShowBoat is there. SilasWanamaker traps her in his magic deck. There is a portal to hell. 5 spirits take on flesh and drop down in front of the portal.
Continued next week
