"I don't think you'll need me here,and i'm not going to stay any closer to that mess.I'll be at the Town Hall if you need me"

Kendra leaves.


"These birds were killed by a knife. Who killed them?" The dog?!!
:P

Jaylen resheathes her blade and looks around at her surroundings, looking for anyone who may be taking more of an interest in the scene than is appropriate.
Show me this fence. she demands.

"I'm going to leave this in your capable hands Miss Jaylen." Aemrealara says as she follows Kendra to the town hall.


While everyone is trying to figure what happened or asking questions to the locals,the dog manages to break the hold of the man and pounces on the dead chikens.

Surprisingly enough,he doesn't start to eat them,rather the animal sniffs at the birds then runs toward the direction kendra and her guests came from.
It runs for few seconds then stops and turns looking at the men he was with.

X Marzio. Il cane riesce a scrollarsi di dosso l'uomo che lo tiene,salta sui polli ma invece di magnarseli li annusa,poi parte spedito verso dove siete venuti voi.Ma si ferma poco dopo e si volta a guardarvi.

Italian translation for Marzio

I'd like to take the Professor's Journal and the Book "with the Scarab on top", to read through in down times. The last three, I will refuse to touch.

Hearing a disturbance, I'll try to quickly make my way to the middle, hoping to get in the way of any bloodshed and stop anger from becoming violence. Good people, what is the matter here?, very loudly, hoping to shock them a moment, but enough to break what might become a mob. Looking att he dead chicken(s), Perception:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 / Heal:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Let us come together, and not give hatred a place to nest in our hearts. Let's not jump to any conclusi. . . as the dog bounds off. Diplomacy:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

We should follow it, and see where the beast leads us. It seems to ave caught some sort of scent. Perhaps it shall lead us to whatever did this.


Yep i know it may look a bit of a rushed turn of events,but it is really hard to make stuff happens only because the modules says it <must> happen

While the farmers again shouts at the dog "Old River, boy, stop there,where are you going?" the animal seeing that someone is following him again turns along the path leading to Kendra home and runs.

It passes over Lorrimor's place and heads toward the crossroad leading to the prison's ruins.

xMarzio:quando cominciate a seguirlo,il cane corre verso casa di Kendra,la sorpassa e si dirige all'incrocio che sale verso le rovine della prigione.

Aemrelara:Kendra isn't going to come with you,but you noticed the event of the dog running away after taking on a scent.If you want to be in the next scene you can still say you change your mind and follow the others.

Seeing the dog running around so excitedly Aemrelara gets curious but continues on.....turns around at the dog again....turns to Kendra and says "I'm quite sorry but I'm going to have to meet up with you later it would appear I'm needed elsewhere." With that she darts after the group and the dog.

"Wait up, I'm coming too!"


@Aemrelara:please check your status,you should have recovered the rounds of performance and what gear are you wearing.

Same for anyone else,gear and encumbrance (i don't want to know till the last pound,just check if you are in light or medium.)


I don't believe this, the dog's doing my job for me.

Looks like it's not in my capable hands, erm, Aemrelara. the girl says, shrugging.

Jaylen sighs then starts to follow the dog. As she passes by Kendra's, she wonders if she should get the rest of her gear. We can come back for it, I suppose.

Relishing the chance to stretch her legs, she breaks into a sprint, to catch the dog up.

While the farmers go back to their houses and remove the dead birds,Old River the dog runs across the path over Kendra's home and toward the Vistear River.
The animal turns left just before the bridge and keeps on the banks of the river,it seems to be going to the Harrowstone Memorial.

Your position

Raven:didn't noticed your question about books sorry.To do researches it is assumed the char stays hours reading a lot of books,you'll need to take along the whole library.If you mean just the books found in the professor's chest they are no use reading,they just need to be delivered.


The dog stops just before a 25 foot tall statue depicting a muscular man wielding a truncheon and wearing a leather armor.The structure is moss covered and from where you are you can see it has a base full of engravings;you are too far to read them,but you know this is the Harrowstone Memorial.
One thing though you notice much before arriving really close to the monument:much of its side looking the river is splattered with blood.

The dog has almost reached the feet of the statue's base when it stops in place and yelps crouching down.

As everyone of the people following the dog comes closer to the animal they all see a weird red shadow materializing out of air,coming from the monument.It hovers near the statue and releases a blood-freezing shriek
saying You won't stop me,she shall die and i will be free


The dog runs away,and the apparition vanishes into thin air,leaving the humans and the elf just arrived shocked and puzzled.

Some other weird noises draw their attention back to reality,to face animated dead humans coming out of the river and the brushes.

Aemrelara moves to G13 and starts to Inspire courage in the party by telling the story of Eric the Crusader.


What the...? This place gets more messed up by the day.

Yanking both her axe and her dagger out of their respective sheathes, the young girl positions herself to the side of - and slightly behind - the cleric. She crouches low, waiting for her enemy to make its move.

Can these things be hit with normal weapons? she growls at Raven.

Moves to G12 and adopts Full Defense


Knowledge Religion as free action 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
"Think so miss Jaylen"

Certainly, sorry, I'm not trying to "hog them" as much as I am trying to take them for RP reasons, something to do on my off time.


Male Aasimar Paladin 1

I use "smite evil" on zombie, maybe a little excessive for a single zombie, but one of us is unconscious, better end soon as possible.
PS:
I don't know how many squares can I move in one round. If I cannot attack the enemy, i didn't use "smite evil".

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
if i hit: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6


Sorry marzio,you can only move 4 squares,you don't reach the zombie,i moved you as close as possible

Round 2:
Raven Knight
Aemrelara
Sajan
Jaylen
Zombie
Marzio

Raven Knight is unconscious,Sajan was readying a spell from round 1, so i'll allow him to cast that spell before taking his round 2 actions

Aemrelara turn

round 2 map

Grand Lodge

Female Elf Bard 1

Aemrelara will continue her performance, 5ft step to F12, then cast cure light wounds on the Raven Knight. 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Just a reminder, cure light wounds gives a +1 to damage, attack, and fear rolls.

Grand Lodge

Female Elf Bard 1

just a reminder, I'm a dumbass. Inspire courage gives the +1 bonus, not cure light wounds...../sigh.


Sajan,turn.You have a spell readied from round 1 if you still want to cast it

I was so wondering where I can get one of those Cure Light Wounds spells. . . and many thanks. I was about to say I'll be back in a few days. . . as I know the Pali had no healing yet.


Male Aasimar Paladin 1

I go in E11 and attack
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21 (with Inspire courage)
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10(with Inspire courage)

Sorry for the delay, pretty hectic at work last few days

@Rd1. Seeing the rotting corpse bring down his new companion, Sajan mutters some quick arcane words while throwing a small piece of butter that transforms in a much larger version of itself that cover a 10' square area in front of Raven. (Ref DC15 or fall for the Zombie, ).

@Rd2. Having left his crossbow at the house and seeing the damage that the undead did to Raven, Sajan unleashes a magical bolt that streaks towards his target and hits true (Magic Missile)
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 (+1 from intense spells)


zombie reflex save 1d20 ⇒ 16 saved
Jaylen moves to G11 and attacks with her handaxe 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 and hits the zombie for 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 slashing damage
(forgot the bonus from the bard,but Jaylen did well all the same)

zombie attacks Jaylen 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 miss


Sajan's force bolts,Jaylen's handaxe and Marzio's sword tear the rotting human body to pieces,and the zombie falls to the ground in convulsions for a few seconds,than stops moving. It is likely dead again.

The party is on the river bank with one of them unconscious,and a statue with one side splattered in blood.

If the Raven Knight is still down, Aemrelara will stop her performance and use cure light wounds on him again.
Cure Light Wounds:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Here sir Knight, let Aemrelara make it all better."


Male Aasimar Paladin 1

I help the Raven Knight, but still i can not heal, so I can do very little.

I imagine then that the group analyze the statue. what do we can see?

We also control the undead. Perhaps there are clues

You are as beautiful and benevolent as a goddess, Lady-elf. as he stands up.


No-one go near the statue Jaylen cautions, hoping that she can stop any tracks that may be there from being disturbed by the rest of the group. ...and search the area, make sure no more of those things are going to come at us.

She gives the corpse a swift kick and then bends, to examine the ground around the monolith and then the stonework itself. As she searches, she pulls a rag from her belt pouch and thoroughly cleans the blade of her weapon.

If I can, I'll take 20 on both my perception and track skills.

Apart from the blood splattered all around the statue basament and around it on the ground, there are no real tracks to follow.
Your general feeling is the lacking of info on this place and his history.

likely you lack the knowledge to recognize useful info,if any


Knowledge history or local DC15:

Harrowstone was built in 4594,with Ravengro immediatly after as support and food producer for the prison employees.The fire that killed all of the prisoners and most of the guards destroyed a large portion of the prison underground eastern wing,but left most of the stone structure above relatively intact.Ther prison warden perished in the fire,along wih his wife,although no one knows why she was in the prison when the fire occured. This statue commemorates the warden and the guards who lost their lives and was built in the months after the tragedy.

can take 10 but cannot retry by only rolling.Can be tried once a day by researching.


How fresh is the blood? What is the dog doing now? How close are we to the prison? Is the path we're on well-used? Where did the undead come from - the river, nearby bushes, etc?

Grand Lodge

Female Elf Bard 1

knowledge history: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Aemrelara relays this information to the party.


For the blood it would be required a Heal check,but for this time i'll give it away for free.The blood is several hours dried,the dog fled,you cannot see it anywhere.The undead came out of nearby brushes and river alike.The prison is very close,on top of a hill just south of you;it is maybe a 10 minutes walk.

I'll copy here what Aemrelara remembered on the prison for ease of reference

Some farmers from nearby houses begins to approach,intrigued by the rumors and shouts.
Seeing the corpses on ground,they start making questions.
"What happened here?"
"whose bodies are those?"
"why all of that blood splattered around the monument?"
and so on.


forgot to put these question too
The locals also ask whether they have to call for father Grimburrow,but the party that destroyed the undeads doesn't feel hostility form the few Ravengrians arrived.

Sajan turns towards the farmers.

"How long ago were the chickens killed?"

Without skipping a beat he turns towards Jaylen.

"Can you see a pattern in how the blood is splattered?"

Scratches his brain to try and remember all of the things about necromancy that he can remember, and if any relations between blood rituals and places of great pain and death.

Knowledge(Arcane): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30


Sajan:
You are sure this isn't a necromancy ritual.You can't be sure about the time the chickens died,but you walked along the same path yesterday when you arrived for the burial,and there were no dead chickens
