Allansia Wildlands Campaign.

Quote from Stormbringer4729 >>

Tannin, raises a scaly eyebrow "Show us the mistresses living quarters, so we can make it, more to her, liking." 

" Certainly.", the Red Robed man bows again and moves to the door in the wall behind the throne and presses his hand to it, the door glows with a slight reddish hue for a moment and then opens....

A number of doors led off to various bedrooms, baths and steam-rooms and spas.

A dozen or so figures dressed in silk robes stood around the room staring blankly ahead....

Are the figures in silk robes that are staring blankly ahead moving at all, talking? Or are they 'zombie-like' as if they were mind controlled and now they're not any longer?

"What's happened to all these people? Why are they just standing there?"

( They appear to be alive, just staring into space and not moving.....they appear to be an assortment of humanoids of various genders, young adults.)

Tzedaka walks in very carefully. This place has been a residence of evil for a long time.

She will look to see if this is an illusion, using all of her other senses, especially alert for a demonic presence. IF she detects nothing, she will use medicine to assess the humanoid conditions.

(12 Perception with guidance, 13 medicine)

Tannin picks a young female and mentally speaks "Anyone there?"

The room appears otherwise unoccupied.  Examining the people they are breathing, occasionally their eyes blink very slowly....they appear somewhat malnourished and very tired....

Tannin picks a young female and mentally speaks "Anyone there?"

"Someone check the magical aura around that red futon," he points "There is some kind of cordial, controlling their minds, under it, I want to make sure there is not some kind of magical trap!" He then thinks to the girl 

Enwynn murmurs "I have no means of determining that at the moment." regretfully to Tannin, then in a louder tone asks "Master Red Robes, do you know of any arcane security measures that the former chief resident of this chamber had in place? Any knowledge you may have of ahem, the after-effects of such enchantments at work would also aid in our understanding."

OOC: Enwynn covertly studies Master Red Robes and their reactions to her query and gets 22 on her Perception.

Her reaction to the dull-eyed people all about the room that have been left here like so many undusted ornaments is one of pity as she asks patiently "And where did all these people come from? Have they just been standing here waiting for someone to return?" as she wonders how best to find a better life for them.

"We're here to help you, how is this cordial used, any words? Is it trapped? "

The man declined his head, " Security? In here? There is none. We would not allow a threat to penetrate this far.......um, previous to today a threat was not allowed to penetrate this far...........well, there was one previous occurrence.  But it is not.....common..."

" I believe they are abductees from surrounding settlements that were deemed unsuitable for transplants yet not so unfit for purpose as to be disposed of.  I believe with his.....physical limitations....Former Master Zagor mostly just used them for decoration rather than any....recreational purpose."

He appears to being fully open and honest in his answers.

"I will begin a ritual that will take about 10 minutes and I'll determine if there is any magic present."

Banzo moves to stand near the red futon and begin his ritual.

"If anyone has anything else they would like to know is magical or not please get it ready."

(ooc: Banzo doesn't have the spell prepared so has to cast it by ritual casting.)

Little flashback: Herman nods when asked about the turtle man items belonging to Zagor

Tzedaka looks at the others, "They are alright physically, but very tired." The priestess does not like this room at all....it is ....wrong.

She studies very carefully Master Red Robes, chanting a quick prayer of guidance (Investigation: 7) "I vill also use dis time to study." she says, obtusely.

She then steps out into the prior area to get some fresh air, keeping an eye on the proceedings, subtly pulling Enwynn out with her. She studies very carefully Master Red Robes, chanting a quick prayer of guidance (Investigation:7)

Several of Zagors servants have been demons, and powerful agents: Shade, the Librarian, and of course the Inquisitor.

Then she pulls out her scale of justice and places objects on both sides. She whispers to Enwynn, "I do not trust at all. Any who associate with Zagor are evil and beyond forgiveness." She will ask Libra if Master Red Robes means them harm. Augury

"Oh a cordial," Tannin face palms, then looks under the futon. (Had to look the word up, lol)

Libra does not answer directly but Tzedaka gets a feeling of honesty from the Red Robed individual....honest but not honourable....

Tannin retrieves a thick stoppered crystal decanter containing a purple liquid that smells vaguely of cherries....there are also a number of strange wooden and ivory ' sculptures' that seem to have been under here collecting dust for a very long time, and an emerald earring ( 90 gp).

Tzedaka looks to the group, I will return in a moment,

She will then quickly retrace their steps to the old mine works tunnel, looking for the broken container with the water sigil on it. Perhaps there is a way to repair it, and she could use the "air" to clear her head.She will also look for the small goblin.

Tannin look on with concern, as Tzedaka leaves  "Someone 'should' go with her. You don't think she was cursed By Zagor?" he unstoppers the bottle and drips some, on the girl he was talking too, togue. He'll go to the next and so on, if it works.

After a few moments the people begin to rouse then they all sink to the floor too exhausted to stand under their own power....

"Should we get a night's rest to recover from the fight with Zagor?"

Banzo will take out the crystal ball and hold it close peering inside wondering what secrets it holds.

"Or just take an hour to recuperate?"

"It, looks like we stay, these people are not in shape enough to travel." He starts taking the Ivory sculptures (statuettes?) out from under the futon and laying them on top, then looks at the emerald earring "Interesting"

( Tannin may wish to wash his hands after handling the 'sculptures' though none appear to of been touched in at least a few years judging by the amount of dust everywhere.)
