<strong>ROUND 1:</strong><br/><br/>Sorry that I've gotten the round underway, but I figure that we should have a nice fresh start.  For the sake of clarity, please make your actions clear in the OOC portion of your posts.  Here is an image of the map as I imagine it:<br/><br/><div align="center">(https://i.imgur.com/kGbHOvY.png)</div><br/>In the study, FAYBIN, TENI, LORIEN, and ARAMIS.  In the kitchen, TWIN, RAIN, and NATE.<br/><br/>IN the STUDY, We are restating what occurred in the previous round.  It took the combined efforts of Faybin, Teni, and Lorien to open the "sealed" study door, but with their combined strength, the women from abroad were able to enter the study.  Once inside, a startled cat sat up and hissed at them.<br/><br/>In the KITCHEN, RAIN is able to identify that the winged creature speaking to them is a homunculus.<br/><br/><div align="center">(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ef/17/7a/ef177a6743cbe6570ed0b472c2625ba1.png)</div><br/>Another homunculus emerged from a door to the north that adjoined the kitchen.<br/><br/>"Guests, Cumin!" it said, startled.  It flitted forth towards Nate.   "Humans!"<br/><br/>"Yes, I see, Coriander," replied Cumin.<br/><br/>"If you could share with us the means to leave this mansion, that would be most helpful," Nate asked.<br/><br/>"Leave?  Why, you've just gotten here!" Coriander said, exasperated.<br/><br/>"Now now, Coriander, where are your manners?" Cumin asked.   "I am sorry, sir, but I do not know how to leave Mistress Fistandia's mansion.  I only know what I am allowed to know!"
