Candlekeep Mysteries Group 2

Combat has ended!

Barbär wipes the sweat from his brow with the back of his gauntleted hand and looks at the moisture, which is mostly blood. He takes a seat, sitting on his helm on the flat planes given by dwarven design.

That one. Worse than the last. He lets out a sigh as he starts tending to his wounds.

I need a moment. Lets rest here a moment, everyone check your wounds. Ill be able to give you a hand after i take a breather

Hino slumps down in the corner and literally starts crying when she sees how dented and scuffed up her carapace is.  Between heaves and gasps for air..."No...one...is...gonna.....want....me.........now!"

Hino: 18/40

Seeing that 'Levar part II' is finally down for the count, Isa jumps down from her perch.  "Yes, let's takes some time and make sure we are well rested... Barbär, Hino is going to need some help after you get a rest." she asks as she moves over towards her to check on her.  In an attempt to comfort Hino, Isa places a hand on her back "It's really not as bad as you think... give Barbär a moment and he will be over to help you out...." In an attempt to lighten the mood a bit, Isa smiles at her and gives a short chuckle as she says  "You really are a badass in a fight!"

Mav prods the books laying around with his sword to make sure they aren't moving - then searches the corpse.

Hearing Hinos despair reignites the forge in Barbär, as he casts healing word at second level on her

Youll be fine soon, dear.

Anyone else need a small heal?

Emporious drops his spell with a gasp. The room darkening a bit now that the electrical arc connecting him to the monstrosity has dissipated.

"Well done everyone! Excellent work!" congratulates Emporious. "So we now have an L. Lets see if there is anything else to be had in this room." He also begins searching the room as well as the creature. He makes some notes in his book as he nudges the corpse with his toe. "These things amaze me. I so want to know what they are. I really must research these creatures more." Emporious putters about mumbling things under his breath and jotting notes in his spell book until the others are ready to go.

Perception: 13

There are rare tomes on the sciences, arcana, and alchemy, as well as books about planar lore and the summoning of fantastic creatures. All the books are firmly affixed to the shelves by chains, now unmoving, and can’t be freed without being broken in some way.

Orvok takes some time to recite a Prayer of Healing, returning 13hp to anyone carrying injuries...

’Don’t break anything...’ he warns before starting ‘We don’t understand enough of how this mansion is stabilised...’

Barbär feels the cooling touch of a healing spell to his core as he is pulling out his smiths tools, and walks over to one of the book-chains

Smith tools: 17 (plus 2 more)

The chain breaks. It's a book on science.

The library will want this one. Its about the sciences. Anyone want to look over it before i put it away? 

Perception for any fancy books, or those that have been well looked over, perception:5

You find a book titled "The Rise And Fall Of Mordecai The Cat".

Weird.. I have one of these at home..

The scuffs and dents in Hino's carapace magically pop back out, as good as new!  Astonished, she continues to cry...but this time, happy tears.

After a few minutes to calm down and collect herself, she manages to pull Barbär and Orvok into a group hug, and whispers to them both "THANK YOU!  I'll return the favor when we get outta here!" followed by a not-so-subtle wink.

Back to her normal, sultry self, she'll meander over to the 'dead' books on the floor and kick them with spite.  "THAT'S for denting my perfect 10 ass, you no-good-for-nothing waste of space."

Turning to the group, "So, you book worms got all the letters you need to get us outta this joint yet?"

"One more should narrow it down enough to find the right one. We're at a little over a hundred and fifty possibilities now, or at least by my rough estimate. Shall we move on then?" Offers Emporious as he heads to the only door in the room. If no one stops him or offers another option he opens it and moves into the next room.

Yes. Lets go. This place holds its weight in troubles. I dont know about all of you, but im dreading taking any kind of rest longer than what we have, and im getting close to being spent on magic. Not the worst thing in the world. I have another fight in me, at least.

Barbär says as he follows up behind Emporious

OOC: Room M12 then, I guess?

Orvok rolls his eyes loud enough for people to hear, and then ushers the rest of the group into the next room. ‘Stay together, Stay together.. Why do I even bother!’ he grumbles to himself in what amounts to a stage whisper...

"Orvok, have you ever considered being a school teacher?  You've got quite the knack for herding cats it seems." and Mav will move on with the rest of the party.
