Bjorn stares at the gelatinous cube incredulously. "I wouldn't mind trying whatever this Mordenkainen character was smoking when he came up with this."
" If someone holds it still I can try eating it.", Frangipani ventured.
“How does s Frangipani eat a gelatinous cube?…. One Bite at a time” Sparhawks attempt at half orc humor.
You open the door and there is a short hallway with racks of mops, brooms and other cleaning supplies and at the end you can see it opens into a larger room
“Hold!” Sparhawk immediately tosses a javelin at the brooms/ mops. Aiming the their bases. “Never know what you can trust in this place. “
Attack. Attack: 17 Damage: 7
Bjorn blankly looks up from the tome. "If we get killed by a mop, we deserve to die."
Vars snorts, giving an almost half laugh at Bjorn's remark. He is still grinning when they walk into the room.
Vars makes his way through the room and into the larger one, looking around for any sort of evidence:
Perception: 6
[I'm holding back posting because 1) I'm concerned something is about to happen and 2) I don't wanna do too much before everybody's had time to chime in, lol.]
[Random shout-out to Dwar for running a fun game so far! There's no natural time to say it, so I'm just gonna interject it here!]
sparhawks javelin embeds into the wall, chipping the paint and breaking the racks that hold the mops and brooms. All the cleaning tools fall to the ground with a crash
As Vars enters the full room he can see a smaller table with two chairs, two more doors and in the corner a scarecrow like construction of butler clothing stuffed with linen or other clothing. It bears an uncanny resemblance to Butterman. There is a large target painted on its torso and roughly 8 multi color darts sticking into it at various points inside the circle. There is another on embedded in the wall next to it. This room is sparsely furnished a few bits and ends of someone’s life. This seems like a servants living area.
as Vars looks about the place, he hears the crashing of the mops and brooms and a few moments later hears what sounds like shushing coming from below the floor boards
“Well, you never know in this house!” Sparhawk gathers his javelin and enters the room. Thankful he has not been killed by the cleaning supplies.
“It would seem Butterman was not well liked. Maybe he was working against our missing wizard friend.”
"Yes," Vars nods. "According to Abernath's journal, it seems he suspected our good gnome friend of murder as the other servants disappeared. This however." He gestures around the room. "Looks like one of the other servant's quarters. I wonder if one of Abernath's other servants caught onto Butterman faster than their master did. Perhaps he or she witnessed the gnome kill one of the other servants and set this up to either practice their marksmanship or to imagine taking revenge...or both." He gives the Butterman dummy a small shove, chuckling a little. "Looks like our dart thrower wasn't to bad of a shot."
Making his way around the room, he searches for any pieces of writing or other clues that could have been left around. He'll lift up the mattress or bedroll if there is one, and check under whatever is used as a pillow.
Investigation: 15
Sorsha nods at Vars' words and smiles, following him into the room, helping him to search the room for any more clues, which they already had found in abundance it seemed, opening first the left door of the two available, expecting to find a goblin-sized bed in there.
Perception: 6
As an edit…Hearing the shushing, Vars acts like he is oblivious to the sounds below, (and still makes the remarks from my last post). While he searches the bed, he also searches the floor for hidden compartments, motioning to Sorsha and the others that he heard something by pointing to his ear and then to the floor before putting a finger to his lips to signal quiet.
Investigation: 10
Sparhawk back out of the room to effectively “block” the door from a quick escape. He looks for a lose board that he can rip up and or carpet covering the floor.
[Are these toy darts, or weapon darts? Also, time frame check -- Bjorn's still reading, I would imagine?]
"Ah, well, people are often jealous of success, I find. It seems Butterman was the favorite."
Frangipani looked around, " Want me to do something?"
Sorsha finds the bedroom of the goblin female you found in laundry vat. A few personal items, a small painted portrait of what must be her mother and some clothing hanging from a simply constructed rack. There is a small mirror on the wall a hairbrush that is surprisingly lavish, floating just under the mirror by magical enchantment of some type. Her bed is neatly made and beneath the pillow, you just notice an edge of a piece of parchment.
