Shoot the naked skeleton with my shotgun.
Name: Old Man Jenkins
Phys. Description: He looks like your generic grumpy old man, he wares a dress shirt with suspenders and long grey pants.

[Fright: 5]
[shotgun rolls its own damn Threat: 4]
[Mikey rolls Menace: 2]
The blast of the shotgun takes the skeleton's head off. It is unclear how much this proves to inconvenience the skeleton.
[Mike the drunkard: Condition: Mangled]
Jump around and unload GRENADES at the approaching skeleton
[Auto 1: 1]
You leap several meters directly upwards and unload your entire bag of grenades directly downwards. How many grenades is that? We may never know, because you didn't post a character sheet. It's a lot.
A moment passes. You hang in the air, surrounded by a cloud of armed stick grenades. You muse the life choices which brought you here.
Then it all falls down and explodes.
[Condition: Gibbed]

Spookiness: 0
Inventory: Broken beer bottle,
You cannot fight the unnamed army man, for the army man (whose name is sadly impossible for us to know) is now a pile of diffuse meat lying amongst a scattering of spent probably-not-beer-bottle stick grenades. The looting, however, you can do!
You manage to scavenge a combat knife, which might be a better melee weapon than a broken bottle.
Hahaha! Activate my trap card; gun parry this fool then sacrifice a point of menace to wreck him with the cannon!
You ready your transformed Reiterpallasch to perform the classic 'gun parry > wreck a fool' true combo.
The Hunter Revenant lurches to life, running full bore towards the Good Hunter, grabbing them and tackling them down into the cellar.
[auto 1: 1]
[auto 1: 1]
The Hunter shambles very slowly towards The Hunter, who stands on the spot, missing several point-blank shots.
[Hunter: -3 Quicksilver bullets]
Eventually, The Hunter reaches The Hunter, and he sort of lazily falls into him in a totally ineffective attack which proves quite effective as The Hunter trips and falls over.
As The Hunters fall, a convenient trap door opens up under them. They both fall quite a ways before impacting the hard stone floor. The surroundings are dark.
[Hunters: Condition: Damaged]

Sadly, the prey seems to have fallen down a convenient trap door. Though... that's not really a problem, you can just chase it down!
[Spookiness: 6]
You leap down the trap door and climb down as quickly as possible. The clatter of bone against wood seems to reverberate throughout the entire house, so everyone can hear you.
You noisilly land on the ground near the fallen prey. You seem to be in a stone dungeon, complete with chains, skeletons, and bloodstains. This is a small room, but an open archway leads out into a larger hallway.

[Spookiness: 4]
After a quick search, it seems that among the rows and rows of books there are absolutely zero vinyl records. Or tapes or CDs.
You do locate The Necronomicon, though! It is bound with human leather, and its cover is a tormented screaming face. Honestly, it wasn't super hard to find.
Name: Thaxabatus the Eternal
Phys. Description: A white plastic bag that looks kinda like a ghost when the wind catches it just right
Backstory: Cooked up in a vat of polyethlene in a plant somewhere, Thaxabatus had a pleasant enough early life carrying groceries for his human overlords. He was less pleased when he was then re-purposed to line their kitchen tidy, a truly loathsome fate for a proud plastic bag.
It was then that he began to nurse a deepset grudge against humankind. Managing to escape an undignified end in landfill thanks to a windy day and a human that was too lazy to tie him shut around his contents, Thaxabatus flew on on the raging winds in search of vengeance. The wind itself seems to have allied itself with him, and taking inspiration from human folklore he has modeled himself after the ghostly apparitions they fear so much.
Type: Imitation ghost and windmancer

The breeze takes you up, up high, and you perch on the highest window of the abandoned mansion. You look totally, cool, surveying the land from on-high. You might also be stuck.
You would be able to see everything from up here, if you had eyes.
