Wisdom check:7


((come on big numbers... it worked last time))

Even with a 7, I'll say this. Io, given that it's a muffled voice coming from the other side, you don't think this person is a threat. 

"maybe they aren't that bad now that i think about it, but aahh how are we opening this?" Io said while hiding her shame
"also can we forget i just threatened that person?" she said in a lower voice

Then Merrick looks through the keyhole, trying to see what's in the room and who's there (Also - can he see a window inside?).

If needed - perception 16

There's no window, but as you look through, you see an elvish looking woman dressed in bright clothes, tied to a chair. She looks about the same height at Ricther, but has longer hair. It takes you a moment, but you recognize this is Crista. 

Merrick turns back to his teammates. "There is someone inside. If I'm not mistaken, this seems to be Crista and we ought to help her, but... how do we get inside?" He thinks for some more time, looking around and frowning with a thoughtful expression. "Well, whoever lives here definitely has the key. Maybe we can try hiding somewhere around here and ambushing them when they come back?"

Lintran waits for Merrick to finish inspecting the door before replying "let me try to break the door once again, if I can't get it we'll wait outside for whe kidnapper to come back."

The minotaur steps away from the door, lowers his head and aims his horns at the lock. He charges at the door and smashes at it head first.
Attack: 21 Damage: 5

Goring Rush (minotaur ability)
If you take the Dash action on your turn and move at least 20 ft., you can immediately make one melee attack with your horns as a bonus action.

Lintran you gore that door and it shatters. As the dust clears, you see Crista, tied to a chair and gagged. Her eyes widen for a moment before she seems relieved to see you. 

Lintran brushes some splinters off his head and looks around, checking if there is someone else in this room. He turns to Crista "miss Sylvia asked us to go looking for you. We were lucky to find your trail" he takes her gag out and unsheathes his dagger "don't worry, we'll take you out in no time and you can tell us what happened as we put some distance from this place."

"That leprechaun is a jerk!" is the first thing Crista shouts as she leaves the room and joins everyone." Thank you for freeing me by the way." 

“…Or guess we can try a simpler way” Merrick says as he watches Lintran breaking the door, probably wishing he could also be that strong and do something cool.

“Are you alright? Do you need healing?” He asks Crista. Well, finding her was not that hard, the question is, what they are going to do next. As they proceeded further, a feeling of something ominous slowly began to creep up. Who summoned those zombies they saw earlier, and why was there blood near the house? Maybe they should get out of here faster. Or maybe Merrick is just getting paranoid.

“Who is that leprechaun? We’re probably supposed to do something about him, at least reporting this to Sylvia or authorities in town. And there’s one more thing… In the woods, we were attacked by two zombies, one of them had a brooch I believe to be yours. Do you know where these creatures could have come from?”

"Yes, the brooch!" Lintran exclaims as he quickly takes it out of his satchel and presents it to Crista "a couple of zombies that attacked us had it, do you remember where you lost it?"

Crista nods. "The zombies were likely summoned by the leprechaun. He summoned a skeleton before and was wooting about it. I destroyed it. Glad you're okay after surviving the zombies." 

She turns to Merrick. "No, I'm all fine, but thank you." 

"First zombies now aaahh.... leprechaun? This is getting a bit out of hand! What's after? Living geometrical figures? I had a dream about that... well that doesn't matter! Ms. Crista have you seen where that leprechaun went or do you have any tips on it? We might need all the information we can get"
Io decided to inspect the room to see if she could find anything of importance


Rolls if necessary
Investigation:9
Perception:20

The Investigation doesn't yield anything new, but the Perception allows you to notice some things in the house. 

There's several pairs of shoes, along with some casks of ale, and a black book. There's also a letter on the table. 

Crista nods. "He'll likely be back soon. He said he had to meet someone. We could wait for him or we could see my aunt." 

Io decides to grab the letter and hold it for someone to pick it up and read it shaking it, meanwhile she goes for the black book and opens it
"What secrets does it hold? Time to find out! Also aahh yeah we should totally do that wait for him or something, now back to the book"

Lintran takes the letter Io is waving "let's see if it says anything useful, but first let's get out of this house. We can read in the forest and keep an eye on the door should the leprechaun come back."

He turns to Crista and adds "how long have you know this leprechaun?"

Crista shakes her head. "I thought I knew him. But he was disguised as my partner for a few days."

If everyone is sneaking out, roll some stealth checks. 

"That seems reasonable, let's go outside then." Merrick heads back from the house, glancing at the letter on the way, curious to know what's inside and what motives did this leprechaun person have for doing all of this. Just in case he's trying to walk quietly, without making much unwanted noise.

Stealth check - 18

Lintran's stealth check: 19
