[PQ] this is the house that Jack built

“Hmmmm.” The Wraith frowns and turns, beckoning Rex to follow her back down the stairs. It seems the first floor demands a closer inspection. Again, she goes to the first room and even when she steps fully inside, finds no sign of Evie and nothing amiss. It isn’t until she turns around that the patter of footsteps can be heard and a very dirty, but impishly grinning Evie who insists that they follow her. Like Wessex wouldn’t! Looking very intrigued, the Queen dutifully follow, slipping in behind Evie and very thankful that all three of them were in tip-top shape. Her eyes adjust easily to the dark, and assigning the map a mental picture in her head, she thinks that it traces the outside of the house, following the kitchen and the room on the other side of the entrance hall. Sure enough, there’s a door at the end of the passageway, which, when Wessex indicates Evie should proceed, dump the three women (assuming Rex comes too) out into a slightly larger room. There’s a proper hole in the wall at eye height some ways down (for spying!), a small shelf with two old, dusty books, a dried up ink pot, some small rodent skeletons, tarnished dishware, and a small trumpet-looking thing, and a pair of shoes. -------------------------------------- Good job team!
