The shaking has stopped. I don't believe your human senses could feel it, but the emanation of dark energy from below the house has also stopped.
The 'earthquake' has triggered a DUAL DECISION/EVENT.
Opposite to the Holy Chapel, the shaking has destroyed a section of FALSE WALL. Those stairs lead to an old chamber I used to use for... experiments.
It appears some enterprising resident of this mansion has been visiting that chamber in secret, using it as a PANTRY. In the entrance hall, CURED MEAT has been meticulously salted, dried, wrapped in greaseproof paper, and placed in parcels. There is at least enough to let everyone eat tonight. I hear animals have to metabolise food to continue living, so I imagine this will please you all...?
The Leader must make a DECISION: Should the group eat this cured meat?
The corridor leading to my old laboratory has PARTIALLY COLLAPSED. For this EVENT, it looks like FOUR PEOPLE will be able to squeeze through and investigate the PANTRY further. Who will Volunteer?
