The nursery was suitably creepy, and Blotto wanted to poke around in the toy chest. The rest of the party watched nervously as he did so, but thankfully none of the toys came to life.

They chatted with a demonic voice through the door that warned them not to break the skull, and then went silent. There was an empty hall on the other side of the door.

In the attic they fight half a dozen demonic raccoons. One is turned, Blotto uses his fishing rod to hook and entangle one, while the rest of the party simply beats on the demons until they stop moving.

In a recent addition to the attic, a relatively newly walled off section contains another shrine. Unlike the one on the ground floor, this one is predictably demonic. Within the shrine is a crystal skull that glows with a faint red light. The red mist demon bargains with the party to not destroy the skull. He promises to depart and not bother them at all, as long as they leave the skull intact. Morgana makes no promises, but takes the skull.

Leaving the manor, they head straight for Boris’ newly built temple fortress. Blotto stops along the way at a promising fishing hole.

While safely within the fortress, after a donation to help facilitate the warding necessary for demonic artifacts like the skull and the book, Morgana gets to studying with Boris’ help. With some lucky rolls, Morgana realizes that both the book and the skull are traps, and that to use them to attempt to control the demon Morax is to invite death and damnation. However she is able to devise a means to banish the demon back to hell, and with another donation, this time of the magical cross acquired from the Frog God’s cloister, She and Boris complete the ritual to send the demon back to hell. She then destroys the book.
