Jill
On the other side of the double doors in the Southeast side of the main hall was what appeared to be an art room, there was a sculpture of a woman in the centre of the room holding a vase on her shoulders and paintings on the walls. Straight a head was a hall way on the left side of the far wall that seemed to turn left, and a door to the right of it. Looking at the sculpture, Jill noticed a rolled up piece of paper in the vase. So going to the far walls cabinit that was between the hall and door shed pushed it to the foot of the sculpture and climbed up to see what the paper was. It was a map of the mansions first floor, figuring it would be useful she decided to take it with her.
She then continued down the hall on the far wall. Making a left she saw a shelf with some pictures and ornaments on it and a small knife. Thinking the knife might be useful if she encountered one of those creatures again she decided to take it with her.
She then turned around to head back to the door but almost tripped over herself as she made the corner. There was another one of those creatures shambling towards her, arms outstretched like some horror movie zombie. Backing up her back hit the shelf, the zombie went to grab her and she jammed the knife into the side of its head. Not waiting to see if it's dead she ran past it back to the art room and then proceeded to push the cabinet in front of the entrance to the hall. The zombie came around the corner, with the dagger still sticking out of the side of its head. And proceeded to try to walk through the cabinet, unable to get to her it proceeded to mindlessly try to walk through the cabinet. Jill proceeded to the door to the right. The door was locked and had a sword emblem above the keyhole, unable to lock-pick it she decided to return to the main hall.
11:10pm
Jill proceeded to the painting on the far north wall up the stairs before it branches to the left and right, to door hidden cleverly in the center. The door led outside to some kind of graveyard.
"How ironic," she mutters as a zombie approaches her. So she readies her trusty sidearm as she opens fire. A quick shot to the head seemed to drop it, but not willing to take any chances she decided to put one more bullet in its head for good measure. She progressed deeper into the graveyard where she dispatched another zombie the same way before approaching a large grave stone with an image of a bow on it, strangely there was an indent where the arrow head should be. Curious what would happen if she put an arrow head in it, she was disappointed she didn't have one. Looking around the graves she found a box of 12gauge shotgun rounds but since she didn't have a shotgun, she decided not to weigh herself down. She then went back to the main hall and decided to go east and see how Barry was fairing.
11:15pm
Progressing through the dining rooms northwest door, and into the hall. Jill noticed the bald creature that Barry shot and decided to go left. There she found the body of Kenneth. After checking if he has a pulse, she continued through the western door. This was a room full of mirrors. A zombie was directly in front of her but she put it down with a quick shot shot to the head, going down the northern turn, followed by an immediate left turn she tried the immediate door only to find it locked. Up ahead at a turn to the right there was a zombie staring into the corner, Jill was able to sneak behind it without it noticing her. She progressed forward down the hall. Past more mirrors, up ahead the hall turns left again but she noticed a magazine of 9mm ammo under a mirror. And an arrow with a green arrow head. Hoping the arrow head can come off, she noticed it was screwed to the shaft. With the arrowhead in hand she decided to return to the graveyard to satiate her curiosity.
11:25pm
After putting the arrowhead into the indent on the gravestone, a CLICK sound came from the nearby crypt. And the door to the crypt slid open, cautiously approaching the crypt she noticed stairs going down, the stairs were poorly illuminated by the torches. At the bottom of the stairs was a circular room, with four carved faces in the western wall. A pedestal with a book on it to the eastern, and a coffin suspended by chains above her head. Approaching the pedestal she picked it up, seeing the buckle holding it shut, she turned it over to find a key in bedded in the buckle. Removing the key, she was able to now open the book to read it.
Despite the size of the book it sadly had little written in it.
The Book of Curses
The four masks, a mask that speaks no evil... a mask that smells no evil... a mask that sees no evil...
a mask that cannot speak, smell, or see evil... when all four fall in place, evil will awaken.
Looking at the faces on the western wall she noticed the there's indents on some of there noses, eyes, and mouth.
"I don't like the evil part, but I am curious what would happen if I got these four masks." Jill said to herself. She then put the book back on the pedestal and looked at the key. On the butt of the key was the emblem of a sword.
"Nice I should be able to open some of those doors now,"Jill said. As she decided to go back and explore the eastern ground floor of the mansion.
11:30pm
And so Jill progressed through the art room, passed the zombie in the hall that was still trying to walk through the cabinit. Through the door on the right.

Chris
Somewhere on the way Chris had got separated from the other members of Alpha, honestly it feels he's been running in circles for hours. Right when it seems he has finally lost the dogs, they always seem to appear again from the shadows of the trees. He was tired and short of breath and he already used up all his 9mm ammo for his samurai edge handgun. All he had left to defend himself is a combat not.
He suddenly heard more barking and growling from his right as he was leaning on a tree, so naturally he started to run to his left but his tired legs had finally given out on him as he falls to the ground. He rolled over on time to see one of the dogs jump at him. So he raised his right arm to shield himself from its bite as he reached for his dagger.
"Fuck," he exclaimed at his bad luck when.
BANG!
"Chris this way," says Wesker as he runs up and helps Chris to his feet.
"There's a mansion up ahead," says Wesker as he leads the way. "The others are already inside."
"Joseph?" Chris asks, some hope in his voice.
"Sadly he didn't make it," says Wesker telling Chris what he was already afraid of. There was no way Joseph could survive getting mauled by so many dogs.
11:35pm
There entered the mansion's main hall but when Chris tried to slam the front door shut, one of the dogs managed to jump inside.
Bang! But Wesker made quick work of it with his Lightning Hawk. With the dog dead, they Chris could finally catch his breath.
"Interesting it seems its skin is rotten, I wonder if it's from some kind of disease," murmured Wesker as he was looking down at the dead dog. Chris also looked at the dog and saw it was missing an ear and had wounds all over its body, with the flesh rotten. He could even see some exposed bones here and there. Its eyes were white and leaking a green like pus.
Bang! they turned to look to the west as a gunshot went of in the distance.
"Huh I wonder if that's Jill or Barry," Wesker says. "Chris why don't you see if they need help. I will wait here and secure the main hall."
"Alright," said Chris as he got to his feet, now that he has had a moment to catch his breath he should be able to handle something simple as that he thought.
He then proceed into the western door, with his combat knife at the ready. On the other side of the door was the dining room, a quick look around showed that it was empty so he continued moving to the Northwest door. But as he approached the door a figure burst through. It was a bald figure with white eyes, yes the same creature Barry shot before. Before Chris could react it grabbed him and they both stumbled, while Chris was struggling the creature was trying to bite him with its bloody jaws. And so Chris stabbed it in the side of the head with his combat knife. It mutely opened and closed its mouth one more time, before letting out a short sigh, It then stopped moving. Shoving it off Chris then shakily got to his feet. Checking to see if it was really dead, he then decided to go and report this to Wesker.
11:45pm
Back in the main hall though, there was no sign of Wesker.
"Wesker?" Chris said as he looks around the main Hall. "Where did he go?"
As he was looking around the main hall he notices something black on the floor by the stairs. Picking it up he sees its a magazine for a samurai edge the standard issue handgun of S.T.A.R.S. The magazine was still conveniently full so Chris loaded into his gun.
Looking back to the dining room doors he decided to continue investigating the west side. Continuing through the dining rooms northwest door Chris came to a hallway going east to west. He then progressed east to see what was around the immediate corner. Only to see a body lying on the floor. Approaching it to see who it was he saw it was Kenneth one of the members of Bravo team that Alpha was originally supposed to be looking for. Kenneth's throat seemed to be torn out but it was to bloody and dark to make out by what. Taking the small tape from Kenneth's personally camera Chris was planning to find out what happened to him at a later date. He then got up and proceeded west to the immediate door.
Through the door was a hall that snaked to the right and led to some stairs. At the bottom of the stairs was a cage with a dead raven in it on a small table to his left and a body to his right. Not to far from the body was a green herb in a pot. Green herbs are common in the Arklay Mountains, not only are the used to treat injuries. They can also be used to stave off hunger. Feeling hungry after running from those dogs for an hour, Chris grabs the herb and begins to chew on it as he progresses up the stairs.
Up the stairs was only one door going north so Chris continued on. On the other side of the door was winding halls with mirrors. A corpse lay straight ahead so Chris decided to take a right instead. This lead to a door, and a hall going left before turning right again. At the end of the hall Chris noticed a man staring into the corner, it was just weird seeing him just stand there.
"Um hello, sir," Chris said calling out to him, the man who turned toward him had white eyes, not unlike the creature that attacked him. It then raised its arms and began to walk towards him, moaning every step of the way.
Raising his gun, Chris says "Sir, please stay back or I will shoot."
The man didn't seem to hear Chris as he continued to shamble towards him. Chris decided to send a warning shot past him, put the man was unfazed. So not having any other choice Chris shot him in the leg. The man continued to come forward. Realizing this man might be like that creature. Chris decides to put it down.
