Etappe 2a: Spooky dreams

In the third night after leaving Malinor the party camps outside again. At midnight Hendrik and Raogda suddenly wake up. They see a girl beckoning to follow her. Both do so independently. Gortof, who is on guard, does not notice the girl, nor does he react to his 2 companions. Hendriks follows the girl into a beautiful mansion, down the stairs, towards a door. The girl goes through the door, when Hendrik does so he bumps against the door. Raogda also follows the girl into the mansion, down the stairs and, like her, through the door. When both PCs enter the cellar they find the body of the girl, dead. Then they wake up on their bedroll.
In the morning, after discovering that both had the same dream (as did Baldur (the NPC dwarf)), the party goes looking for the mansion. They find the ruins of the mansion. Where the door in the cellar should have been there is now a blind wall. With brute force they gain entrance to the room and find the skeleton of the girl. Hendrik and Raogda burry the remains of the girl and wish to stay another night, hoping to dream that the girl has found peace now. The party agrees, but the NPCs dare not sleep in the mansion. Licinius Macer Calvus knows a tale about Laetitia, a girl murdered by her brother after which the brother disappears.
During the day Gortof teaches the young dwarves some weapon drills. Hendriks learns from Calvus. Raogda finds some fresh meat in the woods.

At night both Hendrik and Raogda dream about Laetitia again. This time they can see each other, but there is no sound. She leads them upstairs where they peek through a keyhole. In this master bedroom a man and a woman are having an argument. The man hits the woman and then walks out of the room. He grabs the PC by the arm (both are now Laetitia) and drags her downstairs to the cellar where he locks her in. The PCs awaken abruptly and find Gortof in a fight.
While the others are sleeping Gortof hears unexplainable noises from where once was upstairs. Later he notices a blue light coming from Raogda direction. His feycraft kukri glows blue. An angry looking male ghost appears coming through the remains of the garden wall. With Raogda's blade he engages the ghost. When the others wake up they try to help Gortof, but only Raogda's blade can harm the ghost. After a couple of wel placed hits the ghost vanishes.

Shortly after the fight the mother-ghost appears. She is not hostile and leads the PCs into the garden to a well where Raogda finds a bracelet at the bottom. It becomes clear that the ghost desires the bracelet to be put on her grave which is in an overgrown part of the garden, next to another grave. Both tombstones are to weathered to be read.
Hoping that the souls now found rest, the party continues its journey in the morning.
