They locate the [[Diary of Gunter Weiss]] in a desk after being pricked by a poisoned needle. * They see a picture of [[Gunter Weiss]] with [[The Old Baron]]. * Four ghasts are eating something in the dining room. They quickly and silently close the door. * A grandfather clock keeps ticking in the music room. [[Drakus Thunderheart]] tries to stop the pendulum, but it returns to work. [[Joppyr]] tries the harpsichord and learns it is horribly out of tune. * [[Joppyr]] walks to the greenhouse. Wind noise comes from the broken windows. [[Joppyr]] tries to find a place to tie a rope in case they want to escape through the windows. A [[shambling mount]] awakens. In the heat of combat, the ghasts from the dining room hear the noise. [[Itxaro]] tries to keep them back in the dining room. Eventually they defeat the mound and the ghasts. * [[Drakus Thunderheart]] breaks the grandfather clock. It continues ticking. * [[Damrakas]] scouts upstairs. He sees a man in armor and pink cloak floating within a circle of salt. * [[Itxaro]] uses his gust of wind to knock the salt. They touch the man and he wakes up. * This is [[Sir Klaus Weiss]], brother of Gunter and [[Paladin of Saint Malcolm]]. He came to help [[Lady Erika Weiss]] after she contacted about some wrongdoings of his brother. * [[Drakus Thunderheart]] enters the dark study room and walks towards the black leather-bound book on the desk, but finds himself surrounded by shadows and wraiths. * The grandfather clock rings. [[Gunter Weiss]] shows up to taunt them and thank them for putting his brother in his reach. * [[Drakus Thunderheart|Drakus]] runs upstairs as the incorporeal undead start heading towards [[Sir Klaus Weiss]]. * They are able to defeat the shadows. * They spend an hour to take a short rest before continuing exploring the upper floor. Two ghast servants taunt them and attack them. * As they are about to enter [[Lady Erika Weiss]]'s room, [[Gunter Weiss]] shows up to antagonize them. A swarm of crawling claws erupts from the floor. They managed to clear it and enter the room. * [[Drakus Thunderheart|Drakus]] looks into the mirror of the dresser and feels a warm presence reaching out to him. He lets it take over. * As he "combs his hair", he speaks in the voice of [[Lady Erika Weiss]]. >[!recite] Lady Erika through Drakus: >They say Gunter's dead, but I don't believe it! I can feel him. He is still with us. I must confess a terrible thing. I stole the silver heart from the hands of his corpse which lay in the crypt. I know not what it was for, only that it was vital to his dark plan. I hope cousin Klaus arrives soon to deal with Gunter. Oh no!
