Swords Resting Place

A large beetle skitters from the left eye socket and stops in the skeletons mouth. The unfortunate critter is bursts as the undead butler speaks.

{You feel a little bit nauseated but recover quickly}

“Certainly, oh, sorry about that. You really have no idea how often that happens.”

Where is Ms. Jane?

What does Green do exactly?

Who owns this property?

Why is the cemetery off limits?

I’m ready to head to the manor now, thanks.

The skeletal butler is silent for a long while before answering. It was hard to tell if he had heard you before that. Their bones are perfectly still. It is more apparent now that they usually have a rhythmic shaking to them.

“There was an incident. Worry not, it shouldn’t affect your visit. As long as you do not enter the cemetery and the crypts beyond that. Not only for your safety but for the safety of the staff as well. We are all responsible for this land. some are more defensive than others of meddlers. Anyways, enough morbidity. I won’t bore you to death with minor details. Shall I escort you to the manor? Since you made your way this far in it would be disrespectful to not let you stay the night so you may head back in the morning.”

Thank you, please show me the way.

Let me ask you something else.

Thanks but no thanks, I’m going to head home. [Leave]

You can see Bonesworth straighten their spine slightly at the mention of her name. It is most likely a Pavlovian response.

“She would be up the road a ways. The mansion requires constant tending. A warning should you find yourself that way. She will not tolerate foolishness with in the mansion walls. If one of her many thralls discover misdeeds of any sort, you will be ejected from the grounds immediately. Unless she has other plans. I would simply advise you to respect things that do not belong to you.”

Bonesworth adjusts his uniform and straightens a wrinkle with spindly fingers.

“Why we all do. Long before any of us remember, the land here has been taken care of and owned by each of its staff. In return it takes care of us. There really is nothing more to it.”

What does Green do exactly?

The timid butler tilts his head slowly and the bones in the neck crack softly.

“Green is our Groundskeeper. He keeps the grounds. A watchful eye on the gardens surrounding the east wing of the mansion and the Forest of Lost Though stretching impossibly far to the west. Beyond the backyard amphitheater however, the crypts and cemetery are off limits to everyone. Including myself.”
