"It is sad never the less. In this world the strong  rule the week. The strong wl always crush the week. So if you do not what to be a foot path to others greatness then you have to be the strong useing others to your strength, but their is variety on the kinds  of strength  us mortals have, friend and family  are often seen as a weekness, but not always. Alass you at least  know your parents  i do not know mine the f ass milly that took care of me tortured me till i was a broken  mess.  It was my sister that helped me gain my sanity and it was my greatest  strength, but also my weekness. But now she is save more or less in her litchness. Just dont kill her she is good still."

Well, Necros, I'm not sure what a "f ass milly" is,  but the torture part sounds horrible. Did you also just say your sister is a lich? Like, a real lich? I'm pretty sure just the act of becoming a lich is evil, even if you weren't before. You don't have to worry about me killing her, though, liches are powerful. You won't catch me messing with them if I can help it.

I just want to hunt pirates. The seas are vast and undermanned. If I ever save enough money, I'll buy a boat and hire a crew and go pirate hunting. I've got some karma to dish out. This whole "curse" business the Vistani got us wrapped up in is quite the distraction. Well, unless we get a lot of money for it, I guess.

(If you want to, this conversation can take place as you walk up the road towards the village.)

After a bit of walking, you return once more to the village and once again hear the almost familiar wailing.

(perfect. If anyone wants to continue the conversation, go ahead, when the conversation is over, Zander will say this:)

If there are no objections, I guess I'll knock?

OOC: Do you guys wanna take a short rest? I’m down to 4 HP, false life wears off after an hour.

OOC: Oh, right. I don't mind if we rest before we get started. Unless someone has a heal spell they can use on you instead? Are you the only one hurt?

"I could also use a short  rest to get back my spells"

Embir jolts. "I can't believe I forgot! Just a sec, " She moves closer to Lae and her hand hovers over his shoulder. "I can heal you, if it's okay? The spell requires me to have contact with the person I'm healing so. . ."

“Please... if you would Embir.”

Ha, ha. Never seen anyone turn down a heal, Embir! (Are we still going to short rest if Lae is all healed up?)

Embir smiles, "Right." She puts a hand on Lae's shoulder as the pendant on her neck glows slightly.

(okay, so that means she heals. . . 10 points. Nice.)

“Ah, much better. Thank you Embir. We can continue on unless Necros still wants to rest.”

(Short rest is up to y'all.)

Either way, I'm ready for a little Mayhem. 

"I think we can head in.." Lae says as he rams a shoulder into the door with renewed vigor. 

Zander perks up. Oh! Here we go then! He draws his bow and enters the entry order behind Lae.

There is no reply to Zander's knock. There is not even, in fact, a break in the moaning sobbing you hear.

(Lae, give me an athletics check on breaking down the door please.)

athletics 18

You break the door in and enter, Zander following behind you with bow drawn. As you look, you notice a couple of broken boards and a broken small wooden shelving unit that seem to have been protecting the door.

The entry area has a small kitchen to the left and a small living area to the right. They both seem a bit dusty and unattended and dirty dishes are piled in the kitchen and a couple of places settings with moldering food still on them are on the dining table. In front of you is a staircase and the sobbing seems to be coming from upstairs.

Zander whispers to the group, We should check the whole house, who knows what's going on here. Then starts calling out while searching the bottom floor for anything interesting. Hello? Mary?
