The Crooked House
Type Manor / Base of Operations Region Boneshield, Yahar’gul (Neptune) Map Ref V24 (the hill northwest of town) Owner Alistair Frey Occupants Boneshield Misfits, Mr. Buttons Status Cleared (Session 5)
The askew manor on the hill - the old Lockwood Estate, ancestral home of the Frey family - where the Freys were murdered and Vessla Browntooth brewed souls in her cauldron. Cleared by the Boneshield Misfits in Session 5, it is now their base of operations.
When Isra struck Vessla down, the house’s ‘crooked geometry settled true, the conservatory storm stopped, the teeth underfoot blew to dust, and the portraits un-twisted. The freed Frey dead went quiet for good. It is no longer haunted — but it remembers being crooked.
Base of the Misfits
Traumatized, Alistair Frey kept ownership but lives in Boneshield, giving the Misfits the run of the manor.
The rooms have sorted to their tenants: the Conservatory to Riqirith (her thriving bergamot tree and creatures), the Library to Aurelia (her curse-tome), the Calliope Alcove to Isra, the Trophy Room to Monty. Mr. Buttons, the sentient teddy bear, declined to leave and remains its quiet sentinel.
