Eidolon Manor

Welcome to our little heart of darkness. The manor, as you will see, is in the process of being resurrected, but even in its shambling state, all ghosts, ghouls, and darkling spirits will find a place within our walls. 1/12 scale miniatures

We were pleasantly surprised by the gravekeeper today. Apparently this cat refused to stay buried, and after using perfectly good grave dirt as its litter, well… The ghosts were only all too happy to welcome it into the manor. It’s safer here.

[eidolonmanor]

The windows are now uncovered and the cat has come to play with the fish (how either of these two have survived the resurrections thus far is a mystery to us).

[eidolonmanor]

When the ghosts actually want to get work done, they are among the most reliable of spirits.

The library has had a series of fits and starts, with the ghosts bickering about every element of its decoration and build. The Librarian has finally settled to matter, and it appears real construction has begun.

[eidolonmanor]

It seems a chandelier has damaged the floor of the library. What an unfortunate turn of events. How fortunate the water demon from the bedroom wash basin happened upon the scene before the fire got lively. We generally loathe the lively.

[eidolonmanor]

The bedroom is, at last, nearly resurrected, and it would seem that yet another cat has moved into the manor. The grave keeper suspects the cats use grave dirt for litter, but having not witnessed such behaviour, we cannot comment on its veracity. We must admit to having a particular fondness of the Snape portrait. His visage adds a certain foreboding to the room.

[eidolonmanor]

The cats are evidently outside as the funeral mouse came to see the bed the ghouls have assembled for the Lady of Eidolon. The Lady did not seem displeased by the creature's visit, and to be fair, the funeral mouse is a comely fellow with very good manners.

[eidolonmanor]

Ah. The ghouls have begun work on the bedroom after much prodding by the ghosts. It must be said ghouls are very fond of peacocks. We may restrict their contributions to one room of the manor.

With the help of the gravekeeper, Scarecrow Jack has recovered his straw and clothing. We imagine his friends will join him shortly.

[eidolonmanor]

Scarecrow Jack is assembling himself in the graveyard. We can only presume a murder--of crows that is--is on the way.

[eidolonmanor]

Pumpkins have started to appear as Halloween draws near, though we do hope the fellows decide to stay on with us after.

[eidolonmanor]

Mortals are a strange breed. We have never understood their attachment to material items when the immaterial and incorporeal world is so readily available for one's enjoyment. The ghosts, however, are delighted by the Doctor's knickknack collection and have begun haunting the tea set and inhabiting the rubber chicken. We suppose it must be said that ghosts are a strange breed, too.

[eidolonmanor]

While waiting for work on the study to begin, the librarian has been busy setting up the attic for our newest resident. While we adore all the art the librarian selected, Tanya Shatseva's "Blue Valentine" is a life-size favourite we particularly adore. Our newest resident, the doctor, is expected any day now...which means will will have to fetch the coils and other equipment from the ghosts soon. Last we saw them, they were wrapped in the stolen wires, giggling at the high voltage shocks while guzzling unlabelled elixirs.

[eidolonmanor]

Our recently and reluctantly departed guest struggles to escape the confines of his coffin.

[eidolonmanor]

Still, the guest struggles.

[eidolonmanor]

The wallpaper in the tower room is now finished. The flooring is to be installed next. The ghosts have requested something squishy. Of course they have. We believe the room calls for a firmer approach.

[eidolonmanor]

Today the doors are being dug up and installed, along with further developments in the tower room. We think yellow wallpaper is simply dreadful and are quite certain it can drive one mad, but the ghosts insist it's soothing. The tower resident has little to say in the matter.

[eidolonmanor]

The rafters are now installed, and possibly a new resident? Or part of one at least.
