Plot Summary: 
As Willy, Balpetor, and Jade were hanging out at a social gathering, a blue magical humanoid figure meets our adventures with an urgent request. Being a party mostly of paladins, they were mistaken as Sunblades. As the group read it's contents, the blue figure bursts magically into oblivion and our party was instantly teleported to a large study of a large home. They were approached by a man in his early 20's named Huub Van Dyke, the party's benefactor. Huub is a research and scholar part of the Niqamui Scholar Association (NSA) and told our adventurers he is on a mission to renovate this home which has unfortunately been abandoned and haunted by some fiendish curse. 
After our party met with Huub, they were attacked by evil books flying and biting at the four. After a frantic fight, Balpetor stabs the last flying enemy with his rapier and read it's contents from within realizing these books were being controlled by an evil curse. Our party continues to press information with Huub Van Dyke in the study about the house's history on how it use to be a hideout of an evil crime family ran by Don Ravioli. As they continued to question Huub more about the house's history, shadowy tentacles pop from a door leading to a hallway and snatched a now screaming Huub. The party in shock desperately rescues Huub again, but at the risk of nearly killing him in the process due to the nature of the tentacles. 
With a new sense of urgency, the party begins to walk through the hall following the trail of where the shadows came from in search of clues such as a corpse, since many curses deal with dead body parts. Willy finds a corpse hand he believes may be a key hint on where this fiendish monster may be. As they entered the end of the hall, a door stands in their way. Huub shows the party that this house is magical by opening the door revealing a kitchen. He closes it and proceeds to open again revealing staircases. This continues a few times until curious Balpetor wanted to try. Balpetor begins opening and closing the door a rapid pace revealing a multiple rooms from within the home such as a bedroom and chambers. Willy decided to add to the fun by stepping into what appears to be a master bedroom preparing silly faces as Balpetor swings and close the door. 
However, as Balpetor began opening and closing the door again, Willy never appeared. The door also magically locks itself from opening again and both Jade and Balpetor began to worry as they try to use their muscular might to rescue their friend by slamming into the door. Unable to break the door open, the two hear a haunting scream from above that sounded like Willy. 
Now separated from the party, Willy is surprised attacked by a bedsheet now strangling his undead-like body. Luckily, Willy as a sea had doesn't need to breath. Willy summons his sword from his chest, freed himself from the grips of the bedsheet and sliced away the soft material. Finishing off the sheet, Willy performs a King's Cry blowing the sheet into oblivion. The door opens behind him now as the rest of the party bursts through the master bedroom seeing if Willy was alright. 
After being informed about the haunted bedsheets, Willy sees a wooden face appearing on the large door smiling at him where Willy appropriately smiled back. Calling Balpetor to investigate with him, Balpetor misses seeing the face with Willy. Jade sees a smaller door in the master bedroom. She gave a great idea to open the small door and the large bedroom door at the same time to see if any new rooms would appear. Jade took hold of the small door as Balpetor closed the large door and readied to open again on the count of 3. 
From Balpetor's door, he sees the hallway again, but Jade see's a humanoid figure that resembles Balpetor and Willy. The party fights this mysterious hostile creature and defeats it. Disintegrated, the figure leaves behind dust particles with magical properties that increases the level of spells for one cast. The small door that contained the enemy leads to a restroom where Huub desperately uses. As Huub begins to relieve himself, the party investigates the room that contains a fireplace. They find a loose brick that contained a scarab beetle. Knowing that scarab beetles are used in some cultures to ward of curses, the team decides to kill it hoping it would allow the evil fiend in the house to emerge. 
As the party smashed the beetle, smoke bellows from a nearby fireplace as another figure appeared. A cubic figure that makes a face floats with tentacles hypnotizing Balpetor. Willy realized the corpse hand he found earlier responds to this cubic figure, the figure disappears as the room is purged from the effects of the hand. However, there was still a small stench of evil from beneath them. 
After a short rest and further investigation back at the study, the party realizes a possibility that the crime family may have stolen a cursed artifact that now haunts this home. They head back into the hallway to open the magical door and find to their shock, a torture dungeon with a floating skull with a crown in the middle of the room. With the dexterity of Balpetor and Jade, they both enter unleashing attacks and spells. Unfortunately, it was a trap and the evil skull flew pass both Balpetor and Jade slamming the door behind as the two were now trapped in the torture chamber. 
Willy all alone again now faces the skull back in the study where Huub hides. After an epic edgy battle and curses, Willy finally slays the cursed skull as the rest of the party emerges from a mysterious trap door of bookshelves. Realizing Willy is okay again, the house is now curse-free. The party is given their pay in illegal cut gems as well as a wooden carved plaque that displays the names and deeds of our heroes who purged the evils from this now remodeled research center as the mistaken Sunblades members Willy, Balpetor, and Jade.
