The Study
A layer of ashen dust settles over everything within this small parlor room, and silky strands of spidery webbing rest in all four corners. There are various sheets of paper are strewn about. You spot a stack of files atop an old hickory work desk. It looks like it hasn't been used in quite some time, but you know better. You move in closer. Your curiosity can no longer be contained. You lift up the first file, and blow a cloud of dust from it. "Researcher's Log", it reads. A shadowy black object darts across your fingers. 'It's a spider!!' your mind screams, and you drop the file, spilling it's contents on the floor. "Creapy old place." you murmur. The tiny spider crawls into one of the desk's many crevices, and out of your sight. Then, you spot a stack of papers sitting next to a fresh jar of India ink. 'He must've only recently finished writing that.' you think. I wonder what it's about.What will you do?
Pick up the Researcher's Log, and read it.
Peek at the owner of this estate's private research journals.
Nevermind, there's nothing in this room of interest.
