Hello-hello! Following up on the House of Manouk event —

RECAP: There are three necromancers exiled in the secret dimension, stuck on different levels of the House: Manouk on the terrace, Lisanther in the Grounds and young Deckarius, jailed in the dungeons. They seem hostile towards each other. Lisanther at once point interacted with the visiting Dawn's Reach Trade Company, trading for scrolls to break his chains and exit the House. At some point, the Dawn's Reach Trade Company decided to cruelly honour its commitment to Lisanther by ripping apart the chain-breaking scrolls and hiding them.

What we know or has been shared so far:

■ Literature found in the House speaks of a necromancer of Taravast, who was found guilty after killing hundreds in a bid to gain immortality for his master.

■ Wrath confirmed the viciousness of Taravast's necromancers.

■ Stephen Strange suspects Manouk, Lisanther and Deckarius might be the same person at different points in time.

■ Licyn shares Deckarius plans to kill the other necromancers.

■ Lisanther was trading on rather perverse terms with the Dawn's Reach Trade Company...

■ ...who found out something bad enough about the House of Manouk that even it cut tiees.

A couple more clues were doles out — please share them, ideally in your own posts, or in the posts already made ♥

The event is set to draw to a close by 12 August, but in practice you have until around 17 August to wrap up before — courtesy of the waypoint tokens that have been found! — the party is transported back to Akhuras.

■ Characters who have obtained a chain-breaking scroll piece can have a final check-in if they want to give their parchment pieces to Lisanther and free him. (Decision deadline: 23:59 BST, 11 August)

■ Lockwood would industriously like to set fire to the necromancers on the way out, to avenge the spirits stuck in the House of Manouk. Chip in help or thoughts (Decision deadline: 23:59 BST, 11 August)

He's not sure it's the right call, but Nacho will be the (lone?) hesitant voice against burning the house down. He can definitely see why people would want to burn it all down - like, he can see the appeal! - but he can't shake the little voice saying, "Don't do this."

Also like, the last time he burned down a psycho's house and split, it ended badly for him. Learn from his mistakes, guys.

He is aware, though, that he doesn't really know a whole lot about magic or necromancy or bringing back the dead or really any of that, and he can def be swayed by people who are more aware of that kind of thing, if they tell him why they should, and they seem like they're acting out of practicality and not emotion.

Tbh he does expect to get outvoted anyway but he's also used to being outvoted by people who want to do violence so. At least he might as well say something.

When Team Murder doubtless ends up burning everything down anyway, he'll help anyone who needs it get to safety! Yeah, including people who helped start the fire.
