This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As the monster finally falls and the others dispatch the rats, Jairo shoulders her bows and nods in recognition to Lia. She moves to first look at the now rat featured man memorising his face to describe it later before straightening up.
"There was another voice in the other room - sounded like they are the leader... or Pied Piper if you know the nursery tale... making these rats dance to his tune" Jairo chuckles at her own joke. "In any case, we can either keep following and leave Kip here or take Kip back to the old knight but risk the trail going cold."
Jairo pauses a moment shaking her head side to side trying to weigh the options.
"I think I'll have a look around next whilst you guys finish in here. Might be a clue as to how a man turns into rat monster or who's behind all this!"
Jairo will then move into the next room looking for any clues as to what happened and who had been staying there as well as where they went.
Investigation: 17 (OOC: -5 for perception instead)
Prisca makes his way to Kip. "Alright lets get him out of here, so he can get some rest. Callahan could your help me" He then positions kip into a carrying position.
Jairo mutters under her breath in annoyance. "Must have used some weird magic to escape."
Hearing Prisca gathering up Kip, Jairo heads back to the others and glances at the now laden Druid and Fighter.
"I'll take point, in case of any more... surprises"
With that she pulls her bow out again and places an arrow to the string but doesn't draw it yet and heads to exit waiting for the others to indicate they're ready.
Looks like the party is ready to go. The party gathers everything up and heads back to the main house. Seeing the group coming from the wall the guards are waiting. They quickly take kip from you and wisk him inside. A minute later a guard come back out of the house.
Thank you for saving Kip. Sir Richard will see you in the morning. There is food and Ale in the guard house for you as well as a few beds to sleep on.
Is there anything else the party wants to do tonight? If not you'll get a long rest and we will skip to the morning.
Finally! The end of the day! Yes, please, can I have a...no better not,...instead can I have a quiet room with a writing desk, reading lantern, and a separate bean bag chair? I don't actually need a bed, per se...
At the mention of food Jairo stomach rumbles, "yes that sounds delightful and some fresh water if possible, I want to clean these cuts up before sleeping" with that she follows the others to the guardhouse.
The party goes to the guard house where you eat drink and tend to your wounds. There is a nook with a chair where Lia sets up for the night. In the morning when the party wakes Callahan is gone. There is a note on the table.
"Something came up I will rejoin you if/when I can - Callahan "
A guard knocks on the guard house door.
Excuse me, Sir Richard has requested you join him in the garden for breakfast. After giving the party a few minutes to ready themselves he leads the group where Sir Richard is waiting.
<DM: what is the party XP at? Confirm around 250-275? My document crashed.>
Taking only some fruit and nuts Lianwys looks around at the others while they ate...So sorry, Sir Richard. We may have been a little over exuberant. None of the rats survived... in fact, the big rat with the yellow eyes was a human in disguise, but we did not create an opportunity to talk to him, and we beg your forgiveness :(
Prisca digs into his food with gusto. "There was this lair built underground near the shacks. There was another presence in the room we never saw. It twisted this man into some kind of abomination"
A lair you say? Is the body still there? Sir Richard snaps his fingers and 1 of the Guards runs off. It is a shame you had to kill him but I understand battle does not always lend itself to play nice.
This other presence, did he say anything of note? The Duke's master of Spys might be interested.
"Two meals in only a short time, I could get used to this" Jairo thinks to herself as she reaches for a piece of bread and listens to the others recount what happened. At the mention of the spy master Jairo's ears prick up.
"The face of the man who became the abomination looked like this." She then recounts his facial features to Sir Richard. "Does he sound familiar to you?"
That sounds like Luke. His father owned this land before me. Lost it to deptors, was never rhe same again got lost in the drink. Richard sighs. Kill the holy man? Have not been called a holy man in years.
At that moment the guard returns and confirms it was Luke and hands Richard a small book. He flips through it before setting it aside. Mmmm this mentioned a holy man too, I have not been called holy in years and my gifts from Gaia have faded. I mist think on this. You will deliver this book and a letter from me to Boris. Tell him you need to speak to Lily and say the Rose has Thorns. Now If you excuse me I have a matter to look into before you leave. Enjoy the meal.
Richard leaves the garden and the guards come to sit at the table and eat. They ask you to tell them the details from the night wanting to hear about the battle.
Someone give me a persuasion or performance check.

With a 7 you don't find anything interesting. The room has no exits and is simply furnished with a few beds and side tables.

Prisca will wave a wary hand. "Your welcome and I will gladly accept the food and bed."

ooc - Lianwys = 237
(OOC Same XP 237)
Prisca readies himself and takes a moment outside to commune with nature. Afterwards he heads towards Sir Richard.
(Dm thanks updated my sheet)
After the party sits down. Breakfast is served.
Thank you for saving Kip. What did you find out, who has been doing this to my farm?

Prisca looks up from his plate. "The body is still there. The presence spoke of a master and how it wanted a Holy man dead"
