No, no spells momorized either.
Andrea how much healing and how much lesser restoration healing are you providing to John.
The more that you think about it Duncan, you think that the devil went back to its own plane when it died.
Andrea touches John again with the wand.
Ok, how is everyone? Let us check out those tracks.
Andrea your spellcraft would reveal the same information that was mentioned to Duncan, that the devil went back to its own plane at death.
"Do ya think we got someone following us around summoning nasty things to go after us?"
Lucrezia goes over to investigate the footprints and the wall they lead too.
You all will be able to find the secret door once you begin to hunt for it.
I think the devil was summoned by the trap and it has now gone back tot he hells after we killed it.So we are now 'safe' at least from that thing.[b]
Andrea motions for the others to back up as Lucrezia checks the door.[b]Duncan or Orsin should cast detect magic to see if there is anything else on the door.
Duncan looks at the door, then at the girls who were looking haggard....
He motions with his head to move back out.
Keeping his eye on the door, he backs away.
In the next room, Let's go. We could all use a rest afta that one. Dunno how we are gonna explain Tweaker though...
We can say that Tweaker needed to leave for home after he woke in the morning. Since our next meal is at noon, we should have time for rest and I can pray for spells that can heal our blood(CON)loss. I also suggest we pool our gold and perhaps send Lucrezia into town for extra potions and scrolls to replace what we have used. Andrea describes where Alisatr's temple of Calistria is. We can also check the magic shops for any needed potions.
Andrea stands near the steps going down. Also drop by to tell Janivan what has happened and if they think we should continue.
Andrea will head back down if everyone is in agreement and go to sleep to heal her CON loss and pray for new spells.
Duncan moves out with the group, closing the top door behind him and goimg down, stopping just before the bottom of the stairs.
He keeps his voice low, We got one more problem. What if who ever is up there tells the guards or the mayor what happened while we are gone. They saw everything. Can we afford to risk that? We may be wakin' up in chains. If we wanna go back an kick in that secret door, I can invis Andrea and one other if yer hurt Lucrezia. If ye wanna keep using that wand me, John and Orsin might be able to overcome whatever it is. Unless it's more powerful than the devil.
Lucrezia also keeps her voice low as she talks. "As much as I'd love to take a little trip to town for some supplies, how would my running out for a bit look? We don't want to risk raising any suspicion if we can help it. I may not be feeling my best right now, but I'm still ready and willing to continue on with our fun."
Smaller I have a few low level(1st) healing spells remaining and the wand, I also have two scrolls that can heal our blood loss. If we go up there now and there is something greater than the devil we are dead, but those might be old footprints, maybe they are the mayor's after he visited the Knot. Andrea is getting that familiar pissed look.
As for Lucrezia's concerns I can turn you invisible at dawn so you can slip out, but until I get a chance to rest and pray I cannot heal any further damage like the blood loss.
Frankly I am getting fed up with everything we have had to go through. Areal sends us out to bleed and die while he gets his martyrs for his revolution and no doubt has a nice speech planned when he elects himself the new mayor
Lucrezia also keeps her voice low as she talks. "As much as I'd love to take a little trip to town for some supplies, how would my running out for a bit look? We don't want to risk raising any suspicion if we can help it. I may not be feeling my best right now, but I'm still ready and willing to continue on with our fun."
[smaller] Lucrezia, at dawn you could say you have a family emergency to take care of. I will need an hour to pray in any event and our 'breakfast' isn't till noon so we have a few hours. We also need to get Tweaker's things together so it looks like he left.
Andrea holds up her two scrolls of Lesser Restoration if any one needs their CON healed.
Lucrezia raises her hand as Andrea holds up the scrolls. "I could use a hit of one of those if you don't mind. Still feeling kinda weak here. And if I do run any errands, it also means that I won't be getting any sleep. I may end up nodding off during dinner."
I got 500 gold. Let's use the scrolls and get ourselves ready to fight, so long as there ain't no other exit, me and john can pin it in the doorway. If it goes bad you too will be invisible and can run. Jus keep tapping me an john with that wand. Lucrezia can buy some All night if she doesn't get to sleep.
I have 215 gold for the potion fund.
Andrea uses a scroll on Lucrezia.
How is everyone else doing?
Orsin, John. How are you? I have one last scroll. The rest we will need to sleep off(1 point) or wait while I pray.
Duncan. Very well, we can take a look at what is behind the door if Lucrezia is up for checking it.
"The wine has hit me like a hammer to the head , but I should be able to sleep the worst of it off."
How much blood did you lose? How are your wounds?
Edit: If anyone has significant CON loss, Andrea will use the remaining scroll on them
"After the potion and your divine energy wave, I'm fully restored. Would that Lucrezia here were as lucky. Do we turn in for the night then?"
Duncan has suggested we at least attempt the secret door since he thinks there might be someone behind it due to the footprints. Lucrezia can open it up while invisible and then we take a look to see if anything lurks there.
So, if everyone is up for that, let us do it. If there is another Blood reaver behind the door, we will be better off risking the nightbeasts and running out of the manor.
"That sounds like a good idea. Leaving any loose ends could come back to bite us."
Let's go then. To the top of the stair and I'll cast invisibility on Lucrezia and Andrea. You'll have 4 minutes. Lead us in by hand and check for traps on the door and unlock it if possible. If not I kick it in and go first incase it's a damn witch or somethin. John behind and Andrea with the wand. Orsin, a poeme o victory or sommat would be good. Ever body ready? Keep her eyes peeled.
Andrea is ready and accepts the spell, leading the others in and towards the door.
Lucrezia also accepts the spell.
Lucrezia looks over the door for any traps and for the way to open it.
The panel is easy to open and a small room is revealed. The only feature
of this bare room is what appears to be a pair of double doors made of flat gray metal in the northern wall. The surface of the doors seems moist and reflections in the doors look more like vague shadows and smears of light.
So, shall we take a look at these? Andrea will cast Guidance(+1 roll) on Lucrezia if she examines it.
Let us look at these doors, but if by some happenstance they lead to where we want, we should turn back and rest before braving them.
Those reflections appear to be moving on their own!
"Ladies and gentleman, we may have just found our winner...!" Orsin whispers.
Andrea looks less than pleased though and looks back at the room that has the large blood pool.
If these doors lead to the Knot than Tweaker died for nothing. Andrea gives a mirthless laugh. We were right in this room and backed right out.
Then why place the trap with the bloody devil in the other room? Is there something in there, or was it a decoy? Duncan continues to look about, searching for the owner of the prints.
I wouldn't be surprised if that whole room was a decoy. Devil designs all around, all the mirrors we could want, and great big bloody traps for the suckers.
Duncan the shadows on the door look like they are dancing.
Them shadows ain't just movin' they be dancin. Let's just got outta here then. We found enough freaky stuff.
Right.
Andrea backs out with the others. So what will we do then? We still have no idea where the Knot is. We can either attempt these doors, go back to the mirror room or check out the other part of the attic, but we should do it only AFTER we rest.
Your awesome perception roll reveals a magical trap that has been unlocked which was warding the flat metal grey doors. The shadows look like they are dancing. You are fairly certain that you are looking a the access to knot.
"Uhm, guys, I think that we are looking at the room the knot is in and it looks like someone has already unlocked the magical trap that was warding these doors. Perhaps the owner of those footprints we saw?"
Lucrezia cautiously puts her hand on one of the doors to see if it is mundanely locked.
Lucrezia is speaking to the party and then her voice trails off. She is no longer standing there.
DAMNIT!
