The Courtyard.

You eventually made it to this stair case then went upwards towards the ceiling. The sudden cuff off meant that their had to be some secret lever or something around here. You looked towards your ghouls. They shrugged. Guess the figured how to get in by mistake. Points for that at least.

Hmm... you scouted around the room until you came upon an odd, slightly mismatched torch place. You reached over and pulled on it. The ceiling started to move and you shuffled back, just in case you woke up at the wrong time as you started to remember the location of this particular pathway which was the outside. Sunlight wouldn't destroy you but it would weaken you. Didn't want that, especially around your new ghouls.

You let out a sigh of relief as the night was still on and continued your merry stride up the stair case. Outside was a great bush maze line with flowers of many varieties, mostly roses. Not a bad sight to be greeted to after such a rude awakening. Still, if these two ghouls were in then what else may have come uninvited?

You suddenly froze and swore you heard a small shriek in the distance, within the distance of the family walls. Not a good sign since you didn't cause it.

You could go out to investigate with all three of you but you could make a small psychic connection with them then split up to cover more ground to see what may lurk around here. If it was simply more ghouls or monsters like them then it was more fine to play it solo but if it was something stronger then it would be an option to stay together. You weren't at your peak just yet.
