Curiosity Killed The Cat

* The group is standing in a large cavern, the symbols carved on the walls are incredibly weathered. There are spots on the walls for torches.
	+ Alec quickly notices the symbols are the same ones they saw in the tomb they left in the mill.
* William looks and notices Signe and Cyrus looking stressed and perturbed.
	+ He offers Signe a drink from his flask.
* The symbols and pentagram are etches/carvings and Cyrus tries to deface one of the symbols with Alec’s hunting knife.
* Realizing there’s not much here we can do, as this place doesn’t look like it’s seen any activity in a very long time, we decide to return to Grindstone ASAP.
	+ By the time we get back to the surface it’s already dusk!
	+ We need to hurry, by the time we get back to town it’ll be full dark.
* We discuss splitting up
	+ Alec firmly believes they’re more than capable of navigating back with William and Martha on their own, so Signe and Cyrus run ahead.
* The town is empty!
* We skirt the woodline around the church to the back of the building.
	+ Cyrus notices a small posse forming in the center of town. They are talking about something we can’t hear.
	+ They start walking towards the mill and the Chamberlain house.
* Signe and Cyrus get to the back of the church and start breaking down the back wall where the hidden area is. We don’t have any light, and it’s completely dark inside. We have to wait for the others to arrive to investigate further.
	+ We hear the sound of something entering the church.
* When the others arrive, Alec is absolutely done with this shit and is annoyed we haven’t investigated the area and found the bones yet.
	+ We can see the hole leads to the church basement, dusty, cobwebs, an old barrel, a lectern.
	+ We search around for a place where bones could be buried.
	+ Cyrus keeps watch from the ground level.
* Signe sees bones embedded in the stone of the ceiling!
* Suddenly the church bells start ringing!
	+ Cyrus sees it’s Mary ringing them!
* With haste we start chipping away at the rock. As we’re working we hear a distant scream!
* Cyrus runs to see and discovers the Grim attacking the Keegan house.
	+ Scared for the safety of his friend Dorothy and Wila, he runs in to assist them.
	+ Dorothy has been killed, violently :(
	+ Cyrus manages to get Wila out, she is in shock and terrified.
* He returns to the church with Wila, and Martha joins them to help calm Wila.
* The posse is moving back from the mill.
* Signe, Alec, and William are still trying to expose the bones in the rock.
	+ We are exhausted, and injured, but finally get the last piece.
	+ William lights it on fire!
	+ We hear a screech unlike anything we’ve heard before.
	+ THE GRIM IS DESTROYED!
* We are quiet and don’t talk much after this. This has been a very intense experience. We reconvene on the surface behind the church and decide to return to the mill to take the ancient book, dagger, and robe away from this place.
	+ We avoid the villagers, but can discern they are half horrified and half angered by what’s happened.
	+ They have Mary in their custody, they are blaming her for all of this
	+ They are going to take matters into their own hands. . .
* No one is looking for Wila, we believe they’re assuming she’s also been killed.
	+ We take Wila with us, gather our stuff from the Chamberlain house, and leave Grindstone quickly and quietly. . .
