Tales from Talaveroth

Paren doesn't draw a weapon but begins to creep forward in to the house, looking around for signs of magic or a struggle. 

Stealth: 10

Perception: 18

Twitch follows, hand ready on one of her daggers. She's paying particular attention to the ceiling and the corners, before slowly making her way up the stairs.

Perception: 7

Si'Juul takes a scan of the surrounding area for signs of intrusion, footprints and the like.

(Not sure which is applicable.)

Survival roll: Nat 20

Investigation roll: 23)

There are cracks in the window, but for the most part, this room seems undisturbed, and as if it's been uninhabited for a week or more.

Si'Juul holsters his pepperbox and lands near the group.

"Whoever was here cleared out days ago.....place hasn't been touched.......why are we here then?", saying as just thinking out loud rather than to anyone in particular.

Since it is a wizards house, Elhanna is a bit worried and curious about what they will find. But she didn’t predict that it would be empty. 

Ooc: does it look like there have been a struggle here or does it look like he just up and left? 

Elhanna will cast detect magic. 

Twitch heads up the stairs and peeks ahead. This is a gloomy, empty area, the stairs spiraling around and around the outer wall toward a hatch in the ceiling. On the bottom floor, there are a few crates and barrels on the floor under the stairs, as if this is used for storage.  Only occasional small slits of windows let light into the tower, all broken,and the breeze whistles through them eerily.

Elhannah thinks she may see a slight glow from under the rug...

No sign of a struggle.

"I'll head up top.....see what's what...."

Si'Juul begins flying to the top of the tower and taking a look around.

(Just in case, investigation roll: 14)

Paren heads up with Twitch.

 Outside

Elhanna curiously lift the mat, wondering what is underneath. 

Under the rug, Elhanna finds a small wooden trap door. Opening it reveals a small compartment containing four healing potions, an empty bag, and a small sack of coins--60 gold.

Si'Juul flies up the tower, passing a long, tapered cylinder of a building with thin slit-like windows.  The windows have been broken and you see what look like scratch marks around them.  The tower widens then, and you come to a rounded area that seems like it was once surrounded by stained glass windows, mostly shattered, now framed by metal struts with jagged edges of glass still attached.  Inside, you see a jumble of broken furniture, torn books and yes, colored pieces of broken glass everywhere. Above the windows, there's a metal overhang.  When you try to fly past it, the full glare of the glowing orb above the lighthouse hits you in the eyes.  Roll a Con save, DC 15.

Twitch and Paren head up the long, circular staircase.  Your shoes clatter on the ironwork steps.  It disturbs the sleep of the new tenants of this room.  Small, hideous batlike ceratures fly at you angrily!  Roll for initiative.

Initiative: 8

Con save: nat 1

Ouch. Si'Juul is Blinded by the light...revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night. What do you do?

Stirges initiative: 5

Yelling out loud more in anger than distress, then Si'Juul flies down the tower, feeling around for the wall and slowly flying back down to the ground. 

Screaming to the winds,

"I hate magiiiiiiic!"

Elhanna pick up the bag she found, and inspect it.

investigation: 13

when she hear Si’Juul yell, she grab the healing potions and the bag of gold and run outside to see what happened to him, fearing he might be hurt! 

((Well, no initiative from Twitch yet, but the stirges are through waiting...)

Four horrible little buzzbombs fly at at Paren and Twitch, two attacking each.

Stirges attacking Paren:

Stirge 1 Attack: 25 Damage: 10

Stirge 2 Attack: 9 Damage: 5

Sirges attacking Twitch:

Stirge 3 Attack: 11 Damage: 7

Stirge 4 Attack: 23 Damage: 5

The long, thin snouts of the ones who hit pierce into your flesh, and the little monster stays attached to you!

Paren yowles as the creatures strike home and attach. He then a flurry of swinging arms to try and get them off again.

Attack: 18 Damage: 7

Attack 2: 20 Damage: 5

Flurry of Blows:

Attack 3: 11 Damage: 6

Attack 4: 11 Damage: 6

((Concentrating on Stirge 1, then Stirge 2. If any hits carry over they'll go to Stirge 3))
