Of Ash and Dark Places...

> You get the Chair leg and grab the remaining flammable objects... how are going to do this? you can't set i on fire and trow it in, you'd have to go in the room to set on fire from there... Fuck it lets go! You run into the room with bundles of fire starting equipment and throw it at the ghouls, you manage to get one on fire before out of the TV there was a deafening screech! The device switches on to show a screen of static- within that there is a horrible face, bleeding and screaming in agony!

--------------------------------------------FIGHT!---------------------------------------------------------

You swing at the TV landing a CRITICAL HIT! you deal a devastating 16 damage attack! Pearl bounds for a nearby Sentry. Pearl slams the Sentry hitting and dealing 10 damage. The TV sputters out a disgusting curse upon you! The curse will last for two rounds- you will miss more and take damage every round until the effect is cleared, you take 3 damage. A Sentry spits acid at Pearl dealing 6 damage, another Sentry does the same dealing another 3 damage. The two ghouls in the back do nothing.

>Retreat!
>Tactical retreat!

You run like hell, the TV mocks you shouting "CoWARD- FOOl-You CANt Wn" as you flee.The basement is now blockaded with a sandstone-like dust Pearl is nursing it's wounds waiting for you, there is an essence orb laying next to him.

As soon as you touch the orb the essence is absorbed into your skin granting you 10 more- you have 35 ES now. Although you didn't "Wn" you escaped so you can count that as a victory... right? Who the hell are you kidding? you got your ass kicked, you and Pearl are dying, the only reason you escaped was that Grenade that appeared in your hand. Well you think that isn't the last time you will meet that thing- next time it will die, and that will feel so FUCKING GOOD.

You go to the room you woke up in... you try to rest off your wounds. You wake up an unknown amount of time later and have healed 3 hit points, Pearl has healed 2 hit points. you have 4/10 HP, Pearl has 3/10 HP. You are well rested and cannot sleep. You are also getting kinda hungry and need something to drink.

You... You don't know where the bathroom is. You get up and look around. There are two locations you have not visited: The upstairs and there is a door across the hall from the stairwell.

>Have you check the room beyond that door?
>If not, proceed upstairs.

You have not, so you go upstairs! The stairs creak as you ascend. The second floor is much dark somehow than the upper level so you ignite your lantern. This floor is coated in dust as well but this stuff is grey and hardened.
