WW121: The Haunting of Lupine Manor—Chapter 5

April 30, XXXXX—10:00am—The weather mirrors the day they first arrived, the sun shining, the light winds fair

Two weeks in Lupine Manor have flown by quickly. You stare at your packed bags, feeling lost. Despite everythingthe fear, the monsters, the deathsyou still feel the manor’s pull.

It is with great reluctance that you take your bags and head down the staircase, meeting everyone else at the landing. Far fewer of you will leave the manor than have entered, and looking around, you realize your number is further diminished by one.

The 80s Guy (Gramps) is dead. He was Dr. Montague (Doctor).

Your sleep was unbroken last night. It’s as if the manor quietly took care someone it knew was a threat to itself.


Olivia stands in front of the remaining guests.

“I want to thank you all for coming to Lupine Manor at, it is obvious now, great risk to your lives.” Her face is somber. “But we have learned so much about this house, and I believe that it’s safe to conclude that there is indeed something unnatural inhabiting it.

“I will be staying at the manor to observe it further, but you are all free to leave. If you’re curious about my findings, I will send you a copy of my study once it’s complete.”

You glance at each other uncertainly. All of your luggage is at your feet; the entrance to the manor is only a few feet away. So many of you have died. You should be eager to take the opportunity to leave. And yet…

Before anyone could say anything, the loud creak of a door breaks the silence. It sounds like it’s coming from deep in the manor.

In silent agreement, all of you leave your bags behind and head towards the direction of the sound, walking deeper and deeper into the house until you stand in front of a red door.

You dimly remember walking past it several times during your stay, but you don’t recall ever stopping to investigate it. You find that strange, because looking at it now, it stands out from the rest of the manor. And it is now slightly open, a faint light streaming out of the sliver between the door and the frame.

The Red Room

You hesitate for a moment before stepping forward, hand reaching out to pull the door fully open.
