Muirdan takes a mighty swing at the armor, but the suit seems to be fully agile still, sidestepping the blow with impunity.

The woman howls in pain and rage, swinging again for Arkanon as the closest being that draws breath (Attack 1: 17 for 9 necrotic damage.).

The woman howls in pain and rage, swinging again for Arkanon as the closest being that draws breath (Attack 1: 23 for 5 necrotic damage.).

(Deleted post #82 as it double posted the combat update.)

Arkanon sees the hand once more coming for him and uses the flat of his shield to connect with her forearm, swatting the hand away and follows it with an upward diagonal swing seeking to slice across her upper chest and clavicle.

Attack: 17   damage: 8

Growing very frustrated with his lack of success with his spells, Milamber casts Magic missile at the girl. "dodge this!" he cries.

7

(2 more should be added to the result for the 2nd and 3rd darts damage modifiers)

Arkanon catches the woman across her clavicle, causing a brilliant flash of light to erupt from her body, though not quite enough to send her form packing. However, Milamber's unerring magical power slams into her frame, causing her form to dissipate into nothingness with a sigh.

After once again being slashed by this armor, Rosa feels the blood leaving his body from these wounds, and barely stands. He keeps himself up though, and swings at the armor once more.

Attack: 6 Damage: 11

The ranger continues his attack on the armor:

Attack: 16 Damage: 7

Attack: 11 Damage: 5

Rosa, clearly weakened by the fight, can't muster up the strength to make a solid connection with the living armor suit. However, it would seem that Grythek has found his stride with the first blow, lopping the head of the suit clean off. With a clatter, the animating force seems to fade and the suit collapses to the ground, leaving a ringing in the air for a moment before stillness returns to the balcony, now swirling with dust in the air.

Combat Over!

Rosa, bleeding heavily, leans on his sword as he slowly continues down the hallway, still looking for this young child. "Come on guys, we need to find this kid before more of these things show up."

“Ye fight well, pretty boy, but just wait a moment,” Muirdan calls after Rosa.

Muirdan casts Healing Word on Rosa: 6

Sheathing his sword, Arkanon looks back at the others. "I agree with Rosa," he says and nods to him, "do you think the child is up here?"

Rosa, feeling the wounds knit themselves mostly closed, nods at Arkanon. "Those kids on the street with your man said the third floor. So I'm gonna check here first and work my way down until I find them." He turns to Muirdan and nods in thanks for the healing. Then he goes back to heading to the rooms in search of this child.

"Isn't it strange that the upstairs floor that the child is supposed to live in is haunted by undead and suits of armour that come to life, and the place looks like nobody has been here for decades and yet the rest of the house is as clean as could be?  I don't think we can trust those little children."  Tengen looks about at the different doors and decides to investigate the one that the ghostly woman came out of.  She carefully moves to the door and looks in to see whether there are any other nasty surprises lurking inside.

Perception 21

Walking towards the rest of the group, he leaned his back on a wall and ran his hand through his white hair. Although he had a somewhat calm demeanor about him, the fight rattled him. Especially the woman and the armor. He had a feeling there was perhaps going to be some sort of trap. 

Suddenly shaking himself he looked over at Tengen, "our dear friend here is adamant that a babe is in this house,," he said, "I would much rather find out if there was an open tavern so I could bloody drink. Alas," he pushed himself off the wall, "might as well get this done first."

"Where is it then, and wouldn't all this noise have woken it, made it cry?  I think we have been lured in here, I doubt very much there is a baby in this house, what do you think the ghost we fought would have done to it?  Still if you want to keep looking fine, I'm looking in here" Tengen gestures to the room the ghost came out of.

The strangeness of the circumstances was the worst of all. The way they had been woken up only mere minutes before and almost guided to this building. He didn't like it, and now liked it even less. And stranger was how Rosamund had simply gone along with it all, as if it were all part of some plan, kept pushing them forward and here they were.

Perhaps he knew something the rest of them didn't, or perhaps in his efforts to do good he had led them all here, like the blind leading the dumb. But he could not fault him for it, there was honor in the way Rosa acted; were it left up to himself, he'd have left the baby to die or rot. What was one dead baby to the hundreds that died on a daily basis? And what did that say about him? 

"I'll look in the room to the north," he said and slipped through the others, his hand on the hilt of his blade in case another surprise came at them, and poked his head inside. 

Perception: 9

Muirdan shrugs - Tengen had a point, but they were here already, so might as well finish the job.  He follows Rosa off to search the house.

Rosa tells the group, "I know that this is probably a trap, but if there's a chance that a kid is alive in this house? We have to at least try." He looks in one of the remaining rooms.

“So we are here following the pleads of a couple of childs in this, otherwise deserted village, looking for a third and it seems that we had been leading to a trap and we want to continue. Fine “ sarcastically smling Grythek motions his hands to let the rest pass before him. “ You first. At least here there is some sort of life, or unlife... “
