You still rushed it.

Meh.

Great.

Bad writing. (Sorry, English as second language.)

It's... beautiful! T_T

I am GM\ I voted for this because I'm a smartass.

 Since I forgot mentioning torches, torches will work for 5 turns, but won't illuminate dungeons. I will add them to the first post.

 Turn 2: First scares.

Spoiler: Wallace Johnson (Taricus) (click to show/hide)

 -Going up the stairs you hear the iron door in the hallway creak as it opens. (10 : 2 = 5) You feel a slight shiver run down your spine, but you ignore it (-5 Sanity). You find yourself in a room with a fireplace, a couch and a table with an unlit candle. There is a carpet which appears to be stained with some kind of liquid. ((11 - 1) : 2 = 5) On closer inspection, it turns out to be ordinary mud. However you can't help but wonder how it got here (-5 sanity). You also notice a painting on one of the walls, but it's far away from the fireplace and hard to see. There are also two doors in the room. One is a completely ordinary wooden door. The other door is barricaded with planks and chains from your side and has some writings in unknown languages on it. The sight is disturbing ((11 - 1) : 2 = 5), but you remain relatively calm (-5 sanity).

 -You notice the chandelier is too high for you to reach. You then decide to close the door. Suddenly all the windows completely shatter, as if an invisible wave of force went through the room. (3 : 2 = ~2) The sight makes you jump and you feel your body shiver ( -25 sanity). However you notice that the force knocked a candle out of the chandelier. You take the candle and look out of the window again. You examine the castle more closely. It is huge and has a lot of towers, some other buildings connected to it such as a church and stable. You notice something move on the castle walls. You focus try to take a closer look, but it suddenly disappears. ((9 - 1) : 2 = 4) You start nervously walking in circles and find it hard to think (- 20 sanity).

Status: Scared (-1 to all rolls, has to take unnecessary rolls)
Sanity: 55/100
Inventory: Candle 3/3.

Spoiler: Owain Jones (quip, I hate you so much for posting like that) (click to show/hide)

 -You walk through the doors. You are in a dark corridor (-5 sanity from darkness). The door in front of you has a lock on it and something written on it. There is also a door on the side of the corridor. Suddenly you hear something that sounds like... a womans laughter? The sound appears to come from the church. ((6 - 1) : 2 = 3) You jump and turn towards the church ( - 15 sanity). You see that there is now a strange mist coming from the church. You feel somehow tempted to go there. For a moment you feel incredibly relaxed and peaceful. ((8-1) : 2 = ~4) Suddenly you notice you were walking towards the mist. You were very close to the mist. You could possibly reach it with your hand from here. "What the hell is going on here?" , you wonder ((7-1) : 2 = 3) ( - 25 sanity).

 -You take a torch from the wall cautiously climb the stairs. You find yourself in a small room with two exits - an open door that leads to some kind of storage room and a closed door under which you can see a wet trail. You turn towards the tunnel. The end of it is pitch black. You hear the water splashing in the distance, as if something was quickly moving towards you. (9 : 2 = ~5) You do the best to stay calm, however the idea of something chasing you is still horrifying (-20 sanity). You still have the willpower to do something. You know you need to run or hide somewhere right now.

Status:Stressed (-1 to all rolls)
Sanity: 80/100
Inventory: Torch 5/5.

Spoiler: Bob Smith (Krath) (click to show/hide)

 -You grab the candle and light it. You check your backpack. It's completely empty. You go through the doorway. You end up in a small chamber with a few crates and chests. You can't see much in such a dark room. Suddenly the door behind you closes. You try to open it, but it's barred from the other side. (2 :2 = 1) You feel your heart beating fast and you start frantically looking around (-30 sanity). After some time you regain hope. Maybe there is still a way to leave.

 Hmm... It appears I'm killing you off slightly faster than expected. And writing like this takes a lot of time. Glad I only took 5 players.

 @quip : Write in a less smug and non-TVtropes way, or else karma will get you after 1-2 turns.

"If this is a dream, it is not my own..." Amelius repeats that has he walks in circles, he stops suddenly. To hell with this, he was alive. The voices had told him nothing. He would not sit here like an old man scared of the shadows!

Go to the attic, if it's dark light the candle. Look around for instruments of iron or steel, or any water than an enterprising soul decided to stash up here. Hell, look for anything that won't kill you horribly.

[Taricus]

Light the fireplace

[tomas1297]

Light the fireplace

It's already lit.

Edit: Also, new rule. I would prefer everyone to speak about their characters' actions in third person.

[Taricus]

Light the candle, and just rest for a bit.

[tomas1297]

Light the candle

Lighting candles is a free action. I recommend doing more things. Also, I would prefer if you edited your posts instead of making new ones.

[Draignean]

Also out of curiosity what ground rules are these spooks following?

Can they be hurt/destroyed/stopped by running water?

Other then the normal effect what does Silver/Cold Iron/Sanctified object do to them?

Can they be warded against without specific spells?

You know, the basics.

You know, the basics.

Incorporeal creatures can move in water, but most are capable of floating, so it's not like it matters. Corporeal creatures are pretty much like animals/humans...very twisted animals/humans. Some can swim, some can't.
 Incorporeal creatures aren't effected by any type of matter at all. Corporeal creatures were all normal before they became corrupted, so sanctified objects and materials do nothing against them.
 Incorporeal creatures can only be defeated by spells or avoided. Corporeal creatures are immune to banish/ward/protect from evil and etc. spells, but can be hurt and killed physically, therefore by combat or rare material spells.

[quip]

Quickly run towards the side door! (of-
Oh, wait, I don't want to go insane too fast...
Make sure to shut the door behind me.

[Krath]

Bloody commies have sprung an AMBUSH! Grumble about the lack of cigars and begin relaxing against a nearby crate to get mah sanity back.

[warhammer651]

Head into the storage room, close and barricade the door with whatever's at hand. Search the storage room for anything of use

 Sorry, it appears I will only be able to post an update tomorrow.

Turn 3:Losing is fun

Spoiler: The RNG hates Amelius Blackthorn (Draignean). (click to show/hide)

 -You go down the stairs ((2-1) : 2 = ~1) and fall down, breaking your leg (-5 sanity). You manage to go to the attic. It is dark, so you try lighting your candle ((3-1) : 2), but slightly burn your finger before succeeding (-5). The attic has no exits except the one which you came in through. There are some crates and chests in the room, a small writing table with some kind of book on it ,a chair and a bed.

Status: Scared (-1 to all rolls, has to take unnecessary rolls), broken leg (-1 to movement rolls, has to take movement rolls when sane), burned finger (-1 to actions that require some dexterity).
Sanity: 45/100
Inventory: Candle 2/3.

Spoiler: Wallace Johnson (Taricus) isn't genre savvy. (click to show/hide)

 -You think about lighting the candle, but it is unnecessary. You decide to relax a little (+10 sanity). You hear heavy footsteps from the hallway you came from. ((6-1) :2 = ~3) You feel a little scared (-20 sanity). Perhaps you shouldn't stay here for long.

Status:Stressed (-1 to all rolls)
Sanity: 75/100
Inventory: Empty.

Spoiler: Owain Jones (quip) is screwed. (click to show/hide)

 - (-5 sanity because of darkness) You run to the side door ((6 - 1) :2 = ~3) and manage to get there without any accidents. You close the door behind you. You see a wooden pole on the floor and try to barricade the door with it ((4 - 1) : 2 = ~2), but drop it out of stress. You quickly look around the room. You can see a locked wooden door. It looks old enough to break. You hastily search for anything of use ((11 - 1) : 2) and find a lantern and some lantern oil. The mist is getting closer now and it is almost in the storage room. ((10-1) : 2 = ~5) You react quite calmly to the situation (-10 sanity).

Status: Scared (-1 to all rolls, has to take unnecessary rolls)
Sanity: 40/100

 -You head into the storage room (it is dark -5 sanity) and ((5 - 1) : 2 = 2) barricade the door with a chest. However the chest is a light one and could be broken down quite quickly. You search the chests ((4-1) :2 = ~2), but find nothing of use. You can hear the steps closer to you and suddenly something begins hitting the door. The barricade will not last long. ((10-1) : 2 = ~5) You remain quite calm (-10 sanity). There is another door in the storage room. Perhaps you can still escape.
