"We need to get lord Rosewood first"

[b]"our mission is to protect him on this trip"[b]

"Yes, we should reach him."

Alright you make your way to Lord Rosewood's cabin, but you find that the door to the cabin has been locked from the inside

I thought that is where we were.

Oh, I thought you guys were still with the old couple in the other carriage

Alright you guys meet up with Lord Rosewood and take the elderly couple with you, any preparations you wish to make?

Here is where we met up with Lord Rosewood. We were headed back to his cabin but I guess we might have met up with him before we got his cabin.

I believe you did

"So do we hold up here and get ready for a fight, or do we make a break for one of the exit doors?" Bennevy asks. "Either way, it doesn't sound like the train is going to continue moving much longer."

"Information"

"where are we, or where will we stop? Until we learn otherwise we should assume that we are the target of this attack. I don't know much about gargoyles, but if they are still recognisable after colliding with the train, they are probably pretty tough, so we should avoid any open fight. Finding a place to that's easy to defend, till we know how we can escape would be the most sensible plan."

"For sure I don't want to leave the train while it is still moving. And we don't know what is outside. "
Look up.
"Flying creatures ....
I prefer a roof over my head in this situation, even if something capable to do this kind of damage and survive probably can opern the wagon roof as we open a cardboard box."
Sid shiver.

"I have a feeling I know what this is" says Rosewood and he takes out a potion vile out of his coat and downs it in the blink of an eye. Seconds later he disappears

Bennevy's eyes fly open a the old man's use of magic. After a moment, he says, "Don't stray too far from us, Lord Rosewood. We can't protect you if we don't know where you are."

Tomid stays hidden and unmoving, hoping if an enemy shows itself he can get the drop on it.

"I know its hard to see me now, but I want you all to follow my voice, we're going to a different part of the train!" calls out Rosewood

Tomid hesitantly steps out from hiding and begins to follow the voice. I had a good spot too. he laments.

Kiriko nods and follows, keeping a wary eye out for trouble.

"Alright, just keep talking and we'll follow your voice," Bennevy replies.

Sid follow the voice.
After glancing the older couple:
"Maybe it is better if you stay away from us. We are hunting for trouble now. Or maybe trouble will be hunting for us."

Alright, perception checks as you start to travel down the train

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Perception Check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8

Tomid

Bennevy

Kiriko

Timid motions for the group to follow him noting quietly I think that creature either has moved or is gone.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

This is weird, I did made a perception check, it was just after Tomid, and it was even pretty good (a 22), it was there in forum for at least a few hours, now it has disappeared.
Someone know how we can report forum malfunctions?

Sid

Alright following Lord Rosewood you have been taken to the next carriage along, this is a luggage carriage there are no passengers here, just stacks upon stacks of crates, bags and other luggage

"Do we make our stand here? We could use some of the crates and luggage to block the doors," Bennevy suggests.

"I fear it could burrow trough the floor. For now it has gone into hiding, and that isn't a good sign."

slightly more distantly than you'd like, you hear Lord Rosewood say "We need to stock up on supplies, you guys look around for anything useful"

Sid start searching.

Alright, make a perception check

Bennevy nods. We're in survival mode. The train isn't going to keep going much longer. Whatever we find in here might give us an edge.

He begins rummaging through the luggage, crates and bags for anything useful.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Kiriko starts rummaging through the crates looking for anything remotely of use.
Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Another post eaten by the server.

Perception check result: 10.

Mine too seems to be gone??? But I saw it posted??? What happened???

Perception, again: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Kiriko didn't managed to find anything of worth. Sid managed to find a masterwork sword in one of the suit cases. Tomid managed to find a pair of bottles labelled "healing potion" and Bennevy managed to find a crate of acid bottles.

Bennevy tries to make a quick tally of how many bottles are in the crate. "Flasks of acid. Here," he says as he starts handing them out to the group. "We can throw these, or possibly use the acid to burn our way out of a tight corner. Everyone take a couple."

Forgot to say, there are 16 acid bottles

Bennevy takes 4 of the bottles and attaches them to his bandolier.

"Someone know how to use this, it is a high quality sword?" Say Sid showing the sword to the others.

What kind of sword I have found?

Sid take 4 acid bottles while looking them doubiosly.
"I hope I will not accidentally break them, it would be a mess. "

Longsword

"I can," Bennevy replies. "It's a beautiful blade," he says giving the weapon an appraising look.

He doesn't teach for the blade unless it is offered to him.

Lost yet another post. sigh.

Tomid shows what he found before pocketing them, for now. These are a sweet find IF we can trust the labels.

Sid give the sword to Bennevy.
"My skill with this one is limited to Don't grip it by the blade and Use the edge, it isn't a club! "

You get the distinct impression that Sid is citing someone.

Kiriko stores her 4 acid bottles in a belt pouch.
"nothing"

"I found nothing of use for our current situation and everything that might be of use later is too unwieldy to take with us."

Bennevy gives the blade a couple of practice swings.

"Too heavy to use a with the fencing style I'm used to," he remarks. "A sword this size is more for hacking and slashing, than for thrusts and parries. Still, waste not, want not." He quickly straps the sword to his back, making sure he can reach the hilt.

Tomid accepts 4 acid flasks and hangs one on his belt for easy access.

As you finish handing out your new equipment, you hear a loud crash by the door followed by a the piercing of the door by a set of very sharp obsidian looking claws. Everyone roll initiative

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
