Horus waves his dagger menacingly at the bugbear, slashing wildly, hoping to disract the bugbear.
Wren who had jumped back, draws her short bow and lands an arrow in the bugbear's heart.
Andolin also draws back his bow and sends an arrow whizzing past Terrance's nose to land in the creature's knee.
Darwin takes a mighty swing, the creature is only saved by being cut in half, by flailing arm which sends it into the creature's thigh, sending it to its knees.
As the creature comes down on it's knees Terrance delivers the coup de grace, and it falls chest first to the floor.
As you catch your breath, you notice a dagger sticking from its back, exactly like before.
Seemingly from the corner of your eye, you see the blog moving out of the room and into the hallway through the wall.
It seems to have shrunk a bit and taken on a more round appearance.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Terrances does not waste time enjoying the victory of the kill. Seeing the blob he quickly dashes out of the room and sends a sacred flame in the direction Terrance thinks it should be. 5 radiant damage if it hits.
"We should pursue this darkness quickly!" He yells to the others as he runs after it.
"This place is a nightmare. We should get out," Wren says, starting to look nervous again. "We've killed it twice and it seems to still live. How many times before it gets one of us."

"Well I think it's safe to assume this is someone messing with us with Magic... How else do you guys explain the fact that no one else is here. Where are the tavern owners? Where are the merchants and the old man with his daughter and the priest? they all stayed the night here but there's no sign of them." she said and bent down to examine the dead body of the Bugbear to see if she could find anything of interest.

@Terrance, Calling forth your power you send forth divine essence just as the blob but it passes through without effect, as it passes through the wall into room 2.
@Horus, You feel a tingle of power as your hand pulls out the dagger from the rapidly decaying corpse, you exit the hall just in time to see the blob disappear into room 2.
@Cellica, Myths of places that are portals to other worlds and planes abound where strange occurrences abound. People falling asleep near a column in a glade and waking somewhere else, ships passing through storms and never returning, even people exiting a room only to find they have entered another reality. But no specific tales of a strange tavern with lights.
Bursting through the door to room two Terrance enters shield drawn. Nodding to Horus following closely behind. Looking around the room after entering. Investigation: 7
-------------------
If nothing is found Terrance looks over at Horusand says "Lets go downstairs and end this if we can. I'm getting tired chasing empty shadows around."
As Terrance and Horus chase the slightly smaller orb down the hall again, Andolin says “We should look downstairs if we can’t find anything more up here.” He heads down the stairs.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Cellica followed Andolin downstairs after deciding that there was nothing of interest to be found on the dead Bugbear, her staff still giving off light, which she was grateful for as she would have fallen of the stairs without a doubt. "This might all be an illusion or a portal to another reality... I remember some myths and legends about those but I never heard a story about a tavern with weird lights and creatures that keep coming back from the dead." she said to Andolin while walking down the stairs.

<<I’m guessing Andolin would probably know of the existence of other planes, including the Feywild and the Shadowfell, but hasn’t studied them or traveled there.>>
Andolin nods as they move down the stairs. “This is strange indeed. Perhaps we have traveled to one of these planes? Or perhaps an illusion as you say. Let’s see what we find here.”
Andolin will take a quick look around the main room of the tavern downstairs. Assuming nothing catches his eye, he will look to see what lies in the rooms behind the bar.

Terrance & Horus
OOC: You moved first and fast, so I will give you "turn" ahead.
This 20’ by 20’ room features a fireplace on the south side of the room, no doubt connected to the fireplace on the first floor. There is a small table to the west of the fireplace with two scrolls resting in the center. To the east of the fireplace there sits a rocking chair. Sitting in the rocking chair, smoking a pipe, is a skeleton in the tattered remains of a wizard's robes.
There are two single beds located on the east side of the room, a skeleton, lies in the bed closest to the fireplace with a nightcap on its head and a dagger clutched in its hand.
They have both begun to rise as you open the door, and walk toward's you.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As soon as the skeletons start moving Terrance springs into action with Horus Initiative: 18 He releases a Sacred Flame for 7 radiant damage (Dex Save 12). He will then run up to them mace drawn so they wouldn't be able to pass and attack Horus without first incurring an attack of opportunity from him.
Mace: 227 (crit roll so damage would be 10 if they try to pass me and incur an attack of opportunity)
Terrance calls back towards Horus "If we slay them fast enough we can probably push through the foul curse sitting on this place." ------------------------------------------------------------- If he's able when Darwin makes his way down the stairs Terrance will yell out to him, "Darwin my great friend, it's clear that this place is possessed with a great evil. Gather your strength and let's smite it back down to the hell from which it came together."
((On my turn))
Terrance runs up to the bugbear and gets behind it flanking it. Then raising his mace he brings it down and tries to smash it.

Wren will take a shot at the bugbear.
