Nathan was thankful the old house had a porch, giving them an opportunity to get out the stakes and coat them in consecrated soil without the rain washing it away. Sasha ran around to the back to plant a stake in the ground outside the back door. With the front they would just have to leave a stake lying there and hope it would be enough should the nach slip past them. They left the ice cream pail on the porch.
Once they were set, Solrin took point and pushed on the doors, which opened easily despite the ‘Condemned Building’ sign.
