Midnight Update

The soulful tones of the clock again stir the house, breaking through the unwelcome din of construction and striking the midnight hour.

The monsters that had once been spread to all corners of the house now concentrate themselves to rooms. Most will not follow you out of the areas stated.

In all the Hallways, the Chestmouths and Wallcrawlers wait to snatch an unwary house guest; it makes it difficult to move from location to location and anyone leaving a room should be prepared to run. The Wallcrawlers seem particularly interested in the window to the Study, at least one wallcrawler is stuck to the window at all times. It seems to be watching anyone inside it and waiting for them to step into the hall.

In the Parlor and the Dawn Room, the Chestmouths congregate in large numbers, the only way to avoid them without triggering them all is to hug the walls and hope one of the wall crawlers doesn’t use your caution to grab you.

The Shadows and the Echoes can be found anywhere a lack of light allows them to linger. Though the shadows seem to have taken particular interest in the coat closet, anyone opening the closet will find themselves quickly consumed by the living darkness.

In the kitchen, the Unnatural Servants finish their work. Though they seem to have another task in mind for themselves now, as a corpse has appeared, face peeled away, making it impossible to identify. The poor creature has been stripped almost completely naked and is in the process of being disemboweled, though it still seems, somehow, to be breathing. Two of the servants will remain in the kitchen to deal with their kill, and the others spread once more into the house. They are now armed and hostile, and any house guest coming within reach will be quickly killed. There are only two sets, and they should be easy to avoid so long as you are cautious.

In the Doll Bathroom, the Faceless Mirror Man would like your attention; even someone avoiding looking at the mirror will find it hard to not pay attention, as he seems to be tapping, soundlessly on the
inside. Once you turn to look at him, it becomes harder to look away.
