"Something simple enough. Just change the matresses in block B." He said showing her a map of the building. "You can find the replacement mattresses in the storage room over here." He said pointing. "Be warned. They put up one Hell of a Fight."

Helena blinked. "The... mattresses put up one hell of a fight?" she asked, confused.
As the pinkette witch-turned-maid joined walked up to them. "Reporting for duty.♥"

"Good. You'll be teaching Helena how to replace the mattresses in this area." he said showing the details to Dorothy.
What Dorothy knew by this point was that the mattresses were cursed in a sense... after a certain amount of time in the storage room they sprouted insectoid legs and a gaping toothy mouth, and needed to be "beaten" back into inanimate form before they could be used to replace the worn out mattresses.

"Understood. Leave it to use", the pinkette said, at this point a bit more familiar with the mansion and its... oddities. "Come along then", she said, leading the way.
"So... what's that about mattresses fighting?" Helena asked.
"Well, it's something like this..." the witch began, explaining the situation to her newfound companion.
"A-And... we SLEEP on those things?!"
"To be fair, they don't do that outside of storage", Dorothy said in their defense. "Plus they're very comfortable once they're dealt with." Dorothy's gonna put 3 in Intelligence to lead the way to the storage room in question.

You open the door to the storage room, and see the Mattresses.
about two dozen of them crawling around on four insectoid legs. Their fronts a gaping maw filled with pointy teeth! They have not noticed either of you yet.

"This is completely insane", Helena said as she began blastin' them with magic, designed to defeat them without damaging the mattresses themselves.
"Tell me about it. Though arguably not the weirdest I've seen around here", Dorothy noted, as she used the Broom of Zephyrus to blast the mattresses with violent gusts of wind. Helena
22 (Ef) in Mastery of Magic +3 from Targeting, into a 20 stones Area Attack blast of magic; 2 in control to neither damage the mattresses physically too much, and preferably not damage the surroundings too bad either.
9 (Ef) in Close Combat in defense. (Total ph.defense: 13, 15 VS Blunt/Grappling) Dorothy
14 (Ef) in the Broom's Mastery of Air/Wind (Force Blast) plus 3 from Targeting, into a 15 stones Area Effect blast against them as well; 2 in control for the same reason as Helena.
7 (Ef) in Close Combat in defense. (Total ph.defense: 14, 16 VS Blunt/Grappling)

Your attacks manage to overwhealm them and catch them by surprise within seconds they all *Poof* back into being regular mattresses.

"That... has to be the weirdest fight I've ever been in", Helena noted.
"Not for me, but yes, my weirdest also occurred since I became a maid here", Dorothy said, chuckling. "Come on, let's get those mattresses cleaned up for proper use."
"Right", she said simply as they both got to work. Both will put 5 in Strenght and 5 in Agility to bring the mattresses to wherever they can be washed and prepared for use.

The matresses required no cleaning as you went about putting them on various beds around the mansion.

"Aaaand done", Helena said, smiling as they were done with the last one.
"Yep. So normally we would either already have a list of jobs to take care of, or we could report to one of the higher ups to get more tasks to do, but this time, since Travis-sama asked us to do this personally, we call him back to make sure whether or not he has more work for us", Dorothy explained, as she walked up to the intercom.
"Right. Got it", she said, nodding.
Dorothy contacted Travis through the com: "We're done with the mattresses, master. Anything else we could do for you?"

"Uhhh... Yeah, both of you report to the basement catacombs. We have a rat problem." He said.
Ie. Another Skaven attack.

"Hadn't we dealt with those pests?" Dorothy pondered. "We'll be right there, master!"
They proceeded to rush over to said catacombs to report as ordered. 2 in Speed to get there, for both of them.

You arrive and find dozens of dead ratmen lining the halls as Travis and two sets of maids man a pair of hand-cranked gatling guns.

"We're here", the pinkette said warmly, while Helena simply examined the dead ratmen.
"...Woah. THAT's what you call a rat problem?" she asked.

"Yes. The Skaven are no mere rats." He said. "They're vermin at their absolute worst." He explained. "We're low on ammo, and that was likely just the cannon fodder. We'll have to go deeper inside and take them out before they strike." He said. "Dorothy, you've done this before. Take point. Helena, you're with me." He said. "The rest of you, switch to machine guns, resupply ammo, and wait here on guard." He ordered before producing a torch and leading you down the tunnels.
