My Horror

The Acolytes in Sexy Tights spend the night in a haunted house only to discover the dark machinations of Dead Amy.

## Major Plot Points

#### Open Court

* Aryan Grande, the newly crowned Queen of the Frogs, held open court for her amphibious public. When Kermit the Hermit asked about keeping youths away from his cave, Aryan ordered knights to patrol his ground and keep the ruffians away from his land. When a resident complained about someone stealing her packages, Aryan ordered an investigation into the robbery and directed her to their complaints department. Barbara Duke gave her bureaucratic hell.
* Danica Drygoods then approached the Lilypad Throne with a daring request. Her grandmother, Delphine Drygoods and owner of the Drygoods business empire, died and left Drygood Manor to Danica. However, Danic must spend the entire night in the home before receiving her inheritance. Danica tried once but was scared away by shadows and creepy sounds. She then hired the Greatest Hunters of Spooky Things to chase out the the evil entities that invaded the home. They disappeared. She asked Aryan and the Acolytes to guard her during the night so she could claim her birthright. If failed to stay in the home three times, the grounds would implode thanks to Delphine's curse.
* Our heroes participated in a royal parade as they journeyed to the haunted house. They spotted their friend Fagittarius, a centaur gladiator, in the crowd and he joined them for their sleepover.

#### Drygoods Manor

* The Acolytes walked up the cobblestone path towards the front door of Drygoods Manor. They noticed several stone statues of elves, pixies, satyrs, and centaurs. One of them appeared to turn their head and watch the party walk by. Fagitarius found the statues had buttons on their pedestals. When he pressed it, Fagitarius felt his body stiffen but he was able to shake off the petrification.
* When Danica opened the front door, they found an old satyr named Squatsworth sleeping in the foyer. He said he was tired because the hauntings kept him up all night. Delphine ordered Squatsworth not to clean or touch anything until Danica earned her inheritance. Fagittarius looked under the foyer's rug only to be smothered by it. Bromo sprung to action and cut him loose.
* In the living room, the party saw a painting depicting a battle in Avernus, the first circle of hell. Dewey Thundersnatch recognized the figure leading a demonic army as Dead Amy. Her forces battled against the devils of Avernus. Squatsworth and Danic confirmed Delphine had forsaken her faith in the Archfey and started worshipping, "The One True Goddess." She was rather cryptic with her new faith. Fagittarius found several bottles of wine hidden behind the same painting.
* Barb successfully picked the lock to the basement. The party found a bloody pentagram on the dirt floor, which was where Delphine's body was found drained of blood. Dewey cast hallow to purge parts of the manor of evil undead. The blood on the dirt then seeped further into the ground and disappeared.
* Inside the dining hall, the party found a bunch of old food rotting on the table. An obsidian dagger was plunged into a meatloaf. The dagger was embedded into the table itself making it hard to remove. Muchomucho M Amor's mage hand slipped the loaf off of the knife and table and it started pouring out a necrotic gas. Dewey was strong enough to remove the dagger and gave it to Dikarus Bottombane.
* While looking in the dining hall's mirror, Fagittarius saw his reflection's skin melt off and then a skeleton version of himself. Dewey found a cold spot in the same corner.
* Mucho divined with Kruphix who gave him this advice: Not every key is meant to be used; not every doorknob should be abused; forget these words and you shall lose; I need a fourth rhyme: don't hate the Drus.
* Barb found a book in the library and it described how a humanoid mosquito creature attacked an adventurer reading a book in a very similar library. A strigoi then attacked Barb from the rafters. The monstrosity drank some of the old tiefling's blood. Mucho threw minute meteors at it. Dewey struck it with a witchbolt. Barb then beat it to death with her hearthrob rod. Dewey then healed his comrades who were injured by the mosquito man and the gas.
* The party then found Delphine's old laboratory where she taxidermied creatures. She had a dragon skeleton hanging from the ceiling. The draconic golem came to life and attacked the party. Bromo slashed at it with his axe. Fagittarius swung at it with his war hammer. Aryan shot a chaos bolt at it. Barb summoned a mystic sword and cut at the golem. Dikarus hit it with his soul blade. Dewey struck it with his trident. The golem let out a petrifying breath that nearly turned Dikarus, Aryan, Mucho, and Fagitarious into stone. Mucho's disintegration ray destroyed the golem. The elven wizard then claimed its ocular emeralds that gave it life. Once the golem was destroyed, the petrified people in the courtyard returned to life. Dewey healed his friends again after the petrifying encounter.
* Much used the lab to make two bottles of a Detect Thoughts Potion. Creatures within 30 ft of the drinker can sense the drinker's emotions and surface level thoughts.
* In the pantry, our heroes heard rattling coming from the shelves. They freed a captured living mushroom named Mycela. She works for Xanthoria was sent to investigate the undead sightings around Upfall. She couldn't say what captured her exactly, and she left quickly after thanking the Acolytes for their help.
* Danica and Squatsworth moved all the beds into a single room so no one would sleep alone. The party saw visions of a shadowy figured being dragged into the fireplace. Scratch marks could be seen in the floor around the fireplace. This was the room the GHOST team was last seen. Fagittarius discovered a secret door in the fireplace that led to a shrine.

#### Dead Amy in the Stone

* In the manor's shrine room, the Acolytes discovered a statue of a demonic Dead Amy. Their old friend possessed the statue and bragged about her victory over Avernus. She said she would soon conquer the other eight circles of hell. Delphine had converted to Dead Amy's cause and willingly turned herself into a blood monster to serve her. She was driven away by Dewey's holy magic. So Dead Amy decided to take care of her old crew herself.
* Aryan fired a chaos bolt at her. The wild magic from earlier boosted her attack and the wild magic from this spell created a potion of false life. Dewey unleashed a destructive wave against the Dead Amy statue. Barb swiped at her with her mystical sword. Fagittarius bashed her with his war hammer. Dead Amy attempted to strike Bromo with a crystalline dart, but missed her "replacement." Bromo swung his axe at her. Dead Amy shot another dart and swung her flaming sword twice against her former friends. Mucho fired a meteor at the statue. Barb's magical sword decapitated the statue and ended Dead Amy's hold over it.
* Danica and the party then slept soundly at the estate. When dawn broke, Danica gifted the Acolytes treasures from Delphine's vault.
