Syl vanishes into the darkness once more, with one attack you hear metal rending and a chunk of the knight's armor flies out of the sphere of darkness, glowing faintly with heat. Silthras would see the metal of the knight's armor quiver for a moment, and then the flaming sphere in the room disappears.
The arcane bolts streak across the room, radiating brighter than before as they seem to be empowered. Silthras sees them strike the creature's helm, blasting away large chunks of it. Beneath you see a charred husk, and eyes that burn fiery red like coals.
The sphere of darkness blinks as Kal's empowered strike tears through the breastplate of this creature, briefly revealing the scene before snapping back into place. His second attack pierces through the torso. The darkness subsumes into the creature's armor as Kal's blade glows with a silvery radiance. He pulls the blade out, and the thing falls to the floor. After a moment there is a horrifying crunch as the armor bucks inward on the chest as tendrils of darkness wrap around it. There is a rapid series of cracks as it seems to implode on itself, crunching smaller and smaller until nothing but a small dark sphere remains that quickly dissipates.
Silence falls over the building again, save for the crackling of the fire...
Kal lets out a sigh, realizing he'd been holding his breath at the end. Returning his sword to its sheath, reaching out to grab onto Syl's shoulder to channel his Lay on Hands into healing her wounds. "I think we need to lay down some ground rules for that invisibility spell," he says with a chuckle. Letting his hand fall, he takes care of his own wounds some with a quick healing spell12. "Well, we're in here now."He says to the others, gesturing towards the hallway and door. "Might as well take a look around."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Silthras watches as the creature collapses in on itself, and raises his eyebrows at the last vestige disappears. His gaze lingers for a moment on the now-empty space, before he turns to Kal and Syl, to see if they have need of healing, but Kal has already done what is necessary.
He nods at Kal's suggestion, "In for a penny in for a pound."
Remembering their past use of illusion, Silthras to Syl and asks "Have you searched here and checked for anything magical, like traps or a another disguised teleporter?"
Silthras moves around the room trying to pierce any such disguise or spot anything of interest.
@DM: He runs his hand over and through things, looking for illusions or anything else that does not seem 'right'. Also, what's in the dark corner and can anything be heard from behind the door?
Sylnora shivers as her remaining wounds close up, unused to the strange sensation. "Thanks,"She says quietly, looking at the floor. This moment was an embarrassing blunder for her. "I'll be more careful next time."
As they begin to discuss looking around, she relays what she's already done. "I put my ears to the doors earlier. There's nothing moving in either room as far as I can tell. I didn't get much of a chance to look around in here though..."Sitting down on the floor, she begins a ritual to cast Detect Magic, which she'll use to take a look around the building.
Usul and Silthras spend a few minutes working their way around the room, running their hands along the floors and walls to check for hidden handles, switches, and the like. After a pretty thorough scouring, their search comes up clean. Like Syl had before, Silthras puts his ears to the doors of the rooms in the southeast corner and north side of the building. Holding his breath still, he hears nothing.
After ten minutes, Sylnora's spell finishes casting and she does a 360 degree spin around the room. Nothing lights up as magical in here, or through the walls besides the items on your persons.
Those are rooms with the doors closed, that's why they're covered.
At the end of their efforts, Silthras nods toward the door in the east, leading to the small room. "Shall we?"
He looks ready to open it himself, but is more than happy for someone else to do so; if someone else does, he stands as far back as he can, north of the door.
"I'll get it," Kal says, feeling better after having a few minutes to rest up. He hefts his shield and walks up to the door, throwing it open and taking a quick scan of the room before moving inside.
Light from the fireplace behind you illuminates part of the room, revealing a simple bedroom. A bed with dirty and ripped bedsheets sits in one corner, and a bare desk opposite. There's a wardrobe in the far corner, but the doors are thrown open and you can see with a simple lookover that it's empty.
Silthras lets his breath out, waiting a moment to make sure nothing reveals itself. "Huh. Expected a trap door." He walks into the room, cocks an eyebrow at Usul and quickly begins searching the room and the desk.
Happy to Help young Usul again, if he's willing...

Frustrated that the kids they were chasing seemingly disappeared into thin air, Usul doubles down into his search of the room, determined to find something, some clue, anything, that would hint where they've gone off too. ((investigation with help 25))

"I think it's some kind of undead thing" says Silthras, wishing that there was more space to move.
Taking a deep breath and looking towards the darkness, Usul pulls out his crossbow and takes a shot at where he thinks the center is.

Lay on Hands was 25 points btw.
