Torald Othric of Griffonstone |
Torald tries again to attack the poltergeist with his Scalpel.
Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 3 Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Lyla |
Sorry, thought I had gone already, Lyla's last action was moving to Lord Bramwell and handing him the scalpel. Though she can't do much against the ghost, so I'm leaving it to Bramwell... :P
Lord Bramwell |
I'm assuming it's a new round?
Holding the small scalpel, Lord Bramwell keeps trying to hit the ghost, following Torald's lead.
Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 - 2 = 11 for: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 55
Cerana Whisperwood |
Since no-one seems to mention the ghost she can't see Cerana instead takes aim to where Torald seems to be swinging.
Ready an action to cast magic missile at the target Torald swings at.
Damage of MM, ignores miss chance: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Torald Othric of Griffonstone |
Sorry, I thought we were still in the round of my last post
Torald tries again to attack the poltergeist with his Scalpel.
Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18 Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 12 Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Torald Othric of Griffonstone |
Torald helps Cerana. Although he knows that things are used to hide from his glance.
Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (20) - 1 = 19

While searching the room you don't find any other undead lurking around and a quick check with Detect Undead also only reveals the rapidly dwindling residue aura of the poltergeist, but even when you wait some time that never completely vanishes.
You also find a few more useful, still unbroken items:
2 healer kits
2 vials of antitoxin
2 vials of antiplague
3 doses of bloodblock
3 doses of smelling salts
2 vials of soothe syrup
3 potions of cure light wounds
1 potion of cure moderate wounds
a box with 10 vials of strong hypnotics (mechanically Drow poison)
Cerana Whisperwood |
Cerana will gather up 1 of each of the items in her pack except the potion of cure moderate wounds and the box of poison.
"I suggest Kalina should carry a set of these too, so that we can spread the supplies in case we get separated. Either Torald or possibly Bramwell should carry the cure moderate wound potion. Lyla, does Bramwell heal the same way that we do?"
Cerana then cautiously listens at each of the 3 rooms to the west.
perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Cerana Whisperwood |
"Is everyone alright to continue, none of you wounded that much?"
Cerana looks about ready to open the door but is slightly paranoid that something might jump out again.
Maybe for safety's sake...
Cerana casts detect magic towards the door, remaining to focus for a few rounds if she notices something.
Torald Othric of Griffonstone |
Ok, I don't need the potions. Now, that I can harm these ghost, I can heal myself.
Torald follows to S19 having his detect undead active.
Cerana Whisperwood |
I was just waiting until everyone said they were ready before opening the door and/or the detects find something. Was waiting on Lyla.
Cerana opens the door cautiously and peers inside.
Stealth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Finkmilkana |
I wrote that mainly because it sounded as if Torald wanted to enter.
Before you opens one of the more ruined rooms of Harrowstone, the entire east wall collapsed in an ancient fire. Where the walls once stood strong water of the lake beyond now flows freely, submerging parts of the room. Out of this murky pond looms a giant stone furnance, an old copper plaque over its entrance reading: "Old Ember Maw".
Those with detect undead can sense that the negative energy radiating around it is higher than in the rest of Harrowstone.
Cerana Whisperwood |
"Hrm, apparently this might be used as an execution device. There is many a disgruntled ghost in this place. Do you think there might be more unrest coming from near this thing?" Cerana asks warily.
Finkmilkana |
As Torald gets near it, the entrance of the furnance seems to anymate into a skull of twisting metal and stone. The long dead fire in it's belly roawring once again as a ray of fire lashes out like a tongue. It strikes at strike Torald, who just in time brings up his shield.
Touch Attack1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Damage4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 1, 3) = 15
Cerana Whisperwood |
"Torald! Are you okay? What are you trying to do?"
Cerana looks at the other two with her searching for something or someone that might help.
"Those that can see undead, is it just coming from the furnace or something?"
Torald Othric of Griffonstone |
I'm ok. Yes, the undead aura comes from the furnace. Maybe you are right and there were some prisoners executed in this furnace.
Torald returns to the hallway.
