"Lawdamimbo! What's weird about it??"

"...." He gestured as if that was his point proven, eyebrow lifting towards his hairline.

Chloë- "Hehehee..."
Santi- "Did something funny just happen?"
Chloë- "I uh.. I don't know, just funny voices I guess."
Cameron- "I'll take that."
There were recesses in the walls of the narrow hall, at first, empty. Soon they saw that some of them were inhabited by dusty skeletons with torn clothes, in various states of disrepair. The only light was August's lamp, and shadows danced wildly through the musty passage.

"Maybe we shoulda gone the other way…" Damn light and it's flittering dancing ways!

"Well...perhaps, as this is an illusion, the worse the path looks, the more likely it is to lead out? Rather like a scare tactic...the road not traveled and all that. Perhaps we should go a bit further?" He still skittered to the side a bit to avoid walking too close to one of the musty skeletons as if it would reach out and snatch at his trouser cuffs.

Ru- "I'm not sure if there's a good way to get out of here. I suppose if we keep walking in one direction, we have to get out, right? Let's just continue on this path for a while longer." Ru traveled close to the others, and avoided wandering off anywhere, peering uselessly into the darkness. Just as mysterious as always...

Santi- "I am afraid your guesses are as good as mine. I do like the idea of just going one direction, as much as that is possible."
Chloë- "If these skeletons are illusional, does that mean they used to be illusional people?"
Cameron- "I imagine they could skip the person stage and go straight to skeleton status, right?"
Some of the skeletons were just jumbled bones tangled with ratty cloth. The passage finally opened into another high domed chamber. To Ru, this one resembled the fake basement rooms of the movie set illusions Ellen had created even more than the previous. Perhaps she drew her inspiration from the genuine construction of the old abbey? If so, that was still no guarantee they had passed into a more real area of this new labyrinth.
As they came out into room, the lamp's light fell over a large mound of wrecked furniture, covered in cobwebs and dust.

Ru- "I don't know what this is... But I like that idea too." He looks around idly for any exits that might present themselves, before going on his way wherever it seems to call him. He wasn't sure if there was any way out, besides that he knew that this wasn't a kind way to treat guests. "So they just generate illusions around themselves wherever you might want them?"

"If this is all an illusion y'all. It don't matter which way we go, we'll still go where he wants us. Ya know?" August brought his lamp to the centre of the room and looked at the furniture pile thoughtfully."What if we start a fire with this here furniture. Might grab his attention, yeah? Or break the illusion?"

Ru- "Last time that definitely wasn't true, so I don't know what's going on here..." Ru wandered on, choosing an appropriate entrance and exit, travelling in the same direction. "Excellent..."

Everything felt real enough. The cloth was rough with some ancient embroidery degraded and coated with slightly moist, sticky dust. His hand felt icky and smelled worse. Cameron- "That sounds about right, Ru."
Santi- "I'm not sure to what extent we can be harmed by illusions so it's probably best not to do anything dangerous, right?"
Chloë- "What's dangerous?"

Ru found an exit that seemed to be on the opposite wall from where they entered the room, so going that way would be continuing as straight as they can - but best to let the lamp bearer go first. That's August. Without their full vampire senses, it was utterly black here outside the reach of that lamp.

Ru- "I don't know about illusions. I don't know about starting a fire either... It might turn into a chicken bone or something.." He seems disheartened and a little bored and frustrated, and stares into the darkness. "Are you really going to try that? Maybe we should just keep going this way August..."
