Stone will wait till we head out to grab the monkey head.
Please do finish that rat. And let's go up.


Brandark can take actions against the Rat. Then which way? There are two routes upstairs, 2 or 3.

Brandark attempts to smack the rat back into silence.

attack: 1d20 + 5 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 4 + 1 = 15
damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Thinking we wander up using the curved staircase.


Brandark ends the Rats misery.

The party is now into, "More Floors", going up the curved stairs. Where to next? There are a lot of doors.


Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21 listen
Perception (trap): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16
Disable Device: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34 if needed

"Well, there is a door here. Let me check it out."(J8)


Kelvin will not find either a trap or a lock on the door.

When Brandark opens the door, he will find the other way back down stairs.

Next!


Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 listen
Perception (trap): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
Disable Device: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23 if needed

"Onward we go" and moves to the next door and checks it out.(K11)


Again, Kelvin will not find a trap or a lock on the door.

This bedroom features a child-sized bed, a chair next to a toy box, and a looming stone fireplace big enough for a child to get lost in.

DC 20 Perception:
You hear the sound of a child sobbing.

@Elektra:
Elektra suddenly becomes convinced that your parents are trying to kill each other, and that whichever of them survives will be coming to kill you next; you have a vision of your mother, wielding a torch, and your father, festering with tumors and wielding a long knife, both struggling to kill each other. The vision then passes as fast as it occurs. Elektra must make a DC 14 Will save to avoid taking 1d4 points of Wisdom damage from the mind-numbing terror of the sight. If you fail the save go ahead and roll the 1d4 Wisdom damage.


Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

"Do you hear a child sobbing?" Kelvin says to no one in particular.

You are hearing things, I do not hear a thing. Must be this helm

Brandark pulls his helmet off, and listens.
Nope, still nothing. He then puts it back on.

What is going on, are you all right ?

Brandark rushes over to check on Elektra

He is starting to look a little haggard.

"Thanks Brandark, I am fine again. Remind me, if I meet the owner of his house to put my wand of shocking grasp into his mouth and empty it. OR maybe another opening of his body."
With a more or less graceful motion Elektra stands up and shakes her head to clear it of the memories.


Where to next?


Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27 listen
Perception (trap): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

Kelvin helps Elektra stand up. "Will you be alright to continue?"

Assuming she says yes

Kelvin moves to the next door(GH10) and checks it out.

Chuckling Brandark continues on.

Aye, I will be holding him down for you so that you can Elektra


These double doors were locked, but Kelvin easily picks them.

When Brandark opens the door he sees a large room featured with two padded chairs and a long couch facing a wide alcove lined with stained-glass windows. These windows depict a diverse array of animals and plants—from north to south are a large pale and ghostly scorpion, a gaunt man holding out his arms as a dozen bats hang from him, a moth with a strange skull-like pattern on its wings, a tangle of dull green plants with bell-shaped fowers, and a young maiden sitting astride a well in a forest while a spindly spider the size of a dog descends along a string of webbing above her.

DC 20 Knowledge (arcana):
You identify all five of the subjects in the windows as classic spell components for necromancy magic (scorpion venom, vampire’s breath, the tongues of deathwing moths, belladonna, and the heart of a maiden slain by poison)

DC 30 Knowledge (arcana):
You recognize that these components are materials needed for several known lich apotheosis formulae.

Next?

Conferring with her familiar Elektra tries to get an idea and suddenly she starts making the most dreaded sound of all .."OH...OH."
Karc: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 14 + 2 = 31
"This is not good, not good at all. Someone wanted to transform himself into an lich! The undead spellcaster hard to kill, full of VERY ugly spells and evil to the very core!"

I don't like UH...OH.

Brandark grips his axe, and looks around for what is causing the distress as Elektra explains.

So I guess we have to stop it then. Any ideas on how? Other than killing it now

Again Elektra and her familiar stick their heads together to have a little talk
KRel: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 = 18
How to kill a lich?
"Well, I have to buy a decent book about that topic, but I guess smash it to pieces, positiv energy and mighty magic. As always!"


Elektra will not have that knowledge in her pretty little head. :)

Edit:There is a trick that is often overlooked to make sure one stays dead.

"How to kill anything that is or was human. Remove its head from its shoulders." Garrath bristles, idly running fingers over a bone necklace. "I do not like this place. We should finish what we need to do here...quickly" He looks about eyes a little wild, the rise and fall of his broad chest visible as he takes deep breaths.

You are not the only one that does not like this place. I agree, let us finish up here as fast as we can.

Hearing Elektra mention lich, Kelvin shudders a bit and goes to the double door(GH9) opposite the one he checked, and checks this one out.


Kelvin doesn't hear anything, even the sobbing coming from upstairs. ;)

He likewise doesn't find a trap. The door is not locked.

When Brandark opens the door, he sees a stone fireplace in the northwestern portion of this chamber. Paintings hang on the walls to the north (3) and south (5), each covered over with a thick sheet of dusty cobwebs that obscures its subject from view.

Ugg, more art. I wonder what twisted things are under these.

Brandark walks over and uncovers the one on the south (5)


Brandark reveals a portrait with a small bronze plaque that reads Traver Foxglove. He is tall and thin, with a very narrow face and a thin mustache. There are four more on the South wall.


"Are you really interested in this 'art'?" asks Kelvin, as Brandark uncovers a painting.

That must be one of the people that lived here. They may give us a clue to what's going on. Stone will uncover the next one.


The next one along the South wall has a plaque that reads Cyralie Foxglove. She is a young woman with long red hair and an impish smile.

Not what I was expecting after the last room. I guess they were people that lived here.

Brandark will uncover one on the north wall.


The first painting on the North wall has a plaque that reads Vorel Foxglove. He appears to be a tall, middle-aged man with long dark hair, a clean-shaven face, and dark blue noble’s clothes. He too has a narrow face, but not as narrow as Traver's.

Garrath studies the woman in the painting for a moment. "This is not the woman that was choked to death here."


The woman that was choked by Aldern was a dark haired woman. Cyralie has red hair. There are five more paintings that have not been uncovered.

Stone will uncover the rest of the paintings.


Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

As Stone moves to uncover the rest of the paintings in the room, Kelvin grips the dogslicer and stares intently at each painting he uncovers, ready for what happens next.


The paintings and bronze plaques remaining are the following:

North

Kasanda Foxglove - Kasanda is a stern-faced brunette woman with wisps of gray in her short hair and a flowing blue dress.  Kelvin will recognize this woman as her fearful spirit briefly inhabited him.

Lorey Foxglove - Lorey is a pretty little girl with dark curly hair and a frilly blue dress. Kelvin heard her name called out in his vision.

South

A young Aldern.

And finally, Sendeli and Zeeva Foxglove, both pictures of young dark haired girls.

As Stone uncovers the paintings, Kelvin will not notice anything out of the ordinary.

As the last picture is uncovered, Perception 15:
You notice the room getting colder.

Then everyone notices the room temperature dropping dramatically. Breath frosts in the air and fingers of rime slither across the walls. The figures depicted in the portraits suddenly shift from paintings of living people to those of dead folk. Kasanda and Lorey slump into misshapen, tumor-ridden corpses. Traver grows pale as a long cut opens in his throat and blood washes down over his chest. Cyralie blackens and chars, and her arms, legs, and back twist as if broken in dozens of places. Aldern’s flesh darkens with rot, his hair falls out, and he deforms into a ghoul-like monster. Both Sendeli’s and Zeeva’s portraits frost over but otherwise remain unchanged. Vorel’s entire portrait, frame and all, erupts into a sudden explosion of fungus and tumorous growth. This wave of fungus and disease washes over the entire room in seconds before the room suddenly reverts to normal.

Everyone sees this and must make this save.

DC 15 Fort if Save:
You notice nothing different on yourself or others.

DC 15 Fort if Fail:
You notice tiny splotches of mold and tender red bumps on your fesh.

Garrath will not recognize any of the portraits as being the one he danced with.

Stone does not diagnose any Disease on Kelvin....for now.

Where to next?

FWIW - Heal Checks will help you improve someone's save versus a Disease. You need a Diagnose Disease spell to detect a disease in someone who appears to have no symptoms of a disease.
