"I don't think you can read them either, right Hippa? We may as well take them and move on. Maybe Arael will be able to have a look later."
May as well take them and move on in the direction the tiefling escaped.
Hippa |
ha! Hippa does, but once per day as per racial trait. She does not have this as a cantrip today so cannot spam it. And i have internet in da boondocks. Whodathunkit? The irony? No cell phone coverage.
Wiping hers hands dry, she handles the scrolls with gentle care. She whispers a few words of gnomish. detect magic A quick scan to confirm which of the scrolls to examine more closely. Pulling these out, she tries to puzzle out which is what. let me see what we can use now and later.
Brannock Galdarg |
While Hippa examines the scrolls, Brannock moves back into the hallway.
"Audi, I am going to keep an eye on the hallway in case the Bastards come back. Why don't you look for anything that we missed or that may be hidden while Hippa examines those papers."
He worried a bit about the next combat. As always, handling himself was never the trouble, it was others he worried about.

MiniGm: I am glad I reread the "Read Magic" spell. Last time I read was back in the AD&D days. It is a bit more robust than in the past.
"Hmmmm, useful scrolls. Of course, why waste the effort on fun spells. Alright, fascinating. I hope we do not end up like the previous adventurers, unable or too late to use them. Three of these scrolls provide healing from the gods. Well actually, one god, goddess actually, Iomedae. And the other is beautifullywritten, likelyfemaleelf withformalcalligraphicschooling from the script. Ohtowritelike this, I'dneverwontforajob. Comelookatthis. The spell fairlyluminesces onthevellum." Drifting off into Gnomish chatter, she is lost as she rereads the scroll, while any who look of over shoulder sees only dancing script and confusing glyphs that change with each blink of the eye.
edit: Can any here understand Gnome? I'll start posting her chatter. :-)

oh Im at 15/23 as far as i can tell, but since it am a magnet for getting stabbed not sure how well that will work, I ought to invest in armor or something, though its doesnt seem very tramtris. *lawls*
Hippa |
Seeing through the facade of aristocrat nonchalant disdain for showing weakness, or was that just males in any species and culture... As often as you like to shield me with your tender flesh, it would behoove me to do more than bring you back from death's door. hippa pulls one the scrolls out, starts to read the eldritch words with careful enunciation. Words thats seem to make sense at the moment yet you have no recollection of which vowels went with the random consonants. CLW 1d8 ⇒ 8 plus anything?
Tramtris Arvanxi |
yes!
Thank you again Hippa, it seems you are healing me often, perhaps I should learn to dodge or block better eh?"
He said in a flippant tone, though he was indeed partially serious.
Shall we finish clearing out the rabble?"
Tramtris Arvanxi |
perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Perhaps it was a healthy desire to not bleed into his clothing further, or perhaps plain luck but the young noble paused and tilted his head to the side as they began to proceed.
Do you all hear that?"
He began gripping the haft of his halberd tightly.
It sounds like a little clicking noise on the ground.
He added half nodding to round the corner.
like undead skeleton wolf talons on the ground clicking?
Hippa |
perception 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
yes... I hear it to. Well quite frankly i am surprised we werent pincushioned with crossbow bolts. So this might be a guardian of sorts or a delaying action to keep us occupied a little longer. We did keep whoever is here waiting a bit. Might already be on a caravan out of town.
Tramtris Arvanxi |
Define Horrific? like alive and mistreated? Zombieish looking? Spikes protruding everywhere?

Uh Stay boy.
He said to their 4 legged companion as he advanced forward quickly using the length of the weapon to try and keep the dogs at bay a bit.
His carefully measured blow stuck the first dog flush.

Her eyes bug out, [b]"I've never seen the likes of these creatures before. Tramtris, be ..." Her expression is more startled as Tramtris's blow becomes a graceful artform culminating with one creature with two parts. She sets her boar spear,Grandpapa killed boars, it should work on these demon dogs. aiming for the slavering mouth since she sees eye to eye with it. There is no mistaken the look and Hippa is tired of considered easy prey.

No Knowledge (planes) from me yet either. I didn't think it was in keeping with Auði's background to date, but he'll definitely be adding it in the future.
"Nothing like them in the tales I've heard either, but I reckon Hippa is right about sending them back to wherever they were birthed." Auði slams his trusty club into the creature.

Thankful to have a spear and be on the short side, no one managed to hit her despite the wild swinging of weapons and a distracted beastie. Can I dodge in there and poke it a little bit?

Hey Tramtris: Hippa healed you up to 23hp. May want to edit your profile Mr.15/23.
Tramtris Arvanxi |
He was just getting ready to break the door down with his halberd but nodded.
Indeed, time enough to explore everything when we are down with these bastards... He said cooly enough, once more leading the group in the direction Audi directed them torwards.
Hippa |
Ears perking up.... More late night escapades? Tantra with Tieflings? Hippa's face is rather flushed...
Hippa was waiting near the base of stairs, holding the dog's makeshift leash, feeling strong waves of disapproval from her cat familiar. Still Hippa spent a bit of time surveying the space below when she finally heard the boys start returning.

The héroes wander through the darkness, in their halo of light, as they round the corner Brannock starts to shout out Look out Just as three bolts fly as well as a magic missile.

Hippa |
Expecting the bolts from the dark, Hippa knew it was a matter of when vs if. She releases the dog's leash with a word of encouragement, freeing her hands. Stepping back 5', Hippa pulls out a scroll, confirms it is the right one and starts to read.
