"We'll see what we can find of your daughter," Ashka replies, her mind already turning to the mission ahead. We didn't learn much of note here, though I we'll certainly have to check out that abandoned corridor beneath the school. I wonder if the ghost stories they told there were inspired by visitors from the necropolis below. Maybe I should have spent my gold on holy water instead of fancy clothes.

"yes you can count on us and apologies for having to sit trough that performance..." as they walk away Vires laughs aloud clapping Xasay on the back a few times "ahahah i cannot believe you did that, had a bit to much to drink eh aahaha. ok then lets all get changed and we will meet up at the school" "ah the look on everyone's face when he hit that third note..." Vires thought as he walked off to get ready

As the song plays, Acel quietly stuffs her mouth with some of the tasty biscuits and keeps silent as the Lady shuffles her out of the manor.

She finally manages to gulp down the last biscuit. "Oh, that was tasty. I'm gonna be stuffed for hours. Hope I don't have to swim, or I'll get the cramps." She burps loudly as they leave the manor, as if she released all of the pomp and class she saved up for this evening.

"Well, she gave us a landmark to look into." She nods. "If we can any survivors or mementos it will give closure." For a moment she looks out in the distance, with a pensive look. Then it's all smiles. "So a ring and some ghost stories, got it. See you guys back at the gates, after I get out of this stuffy dress."

Fahd was unbuttoning his collar as he was shepherded out of the room. "Agh, it burns like fire," he bemoans as he digs at his neck where the stiff collar clearly made him uncomfortable. "I'll get my armor and be ready directly."

Xasay looks downcast for the first time in the evening. "Work in progress, work in progress, work in progress...." He keeps saying to himself.


After the somber and somewhat odd dinner party, the party heads out to regroup for the next morning’s explorations.

Beldrin’s Bluff is a rotting ghost town at the edge of a hungry sea. Throughout the derelict landscape, seagulls perched on splintered timbers reflect your passage in their glassy black eyes. Overhead, dark clouds move ashore with the promise of a storm. The Drownyard is on the west side of Beldrin’s Bluff. As you approach the site of the former school, you see a fence of black iron pikes surrounding a block-wide yard. Dead tree branches reach out from the fence like the arms of emaciated prisoners desperate to escape. A man is on the inside, cutting the trees down. Some of the dismembered branches remain, stuck in place by knotty elbows swollen around the iron.

The man looks up from his sawing and watches the group approach. His thinning hair is matted and sweaty. Beyond him, partially collapsed buildings and three whitewashed towers lean in a lake-filled yard.

"Ahoy there," Xasay calls out to the stranger. "Are you certain that needs doing? I rather like it the way it is." He gives the man a wide, friendly, more-than-a-little-frightening smile.

"And why's it got to happen now," Ashka adds, "after all this time?"


The man does not respond to Xasay's greeting. He continues to stare at the group.

Acel burps. "Yeah, we're gonna check out the yard now." She turns away from the man and to the party. "So, who's got the keys? Let's open 'er up!"

Vires walks up to the gate and opens it with a big push he swings both doors wide open "well then let's go" I say as a big tentacle grabs me and I'm gone....


The group is able to open the gate with the key VC Dreng gave them. As soon as the gate is open, the man's demeanor abruptly changes. A big smile crosses his face. As he approaches you, he pulls his gloves off and sticks out his hand to shake.

"Oh, hello there. You must be here to visit with the children. Come in, come in. Sorry I didn't respond before. There have been a lot of curiosity seekers and such who have no business with the school."

"Visit the children? Are the children....up to being visited?"

The children are supposed to be all dead! What is this man's play? Is he mental?

Ashka keeps a straight face as she studies the man, wondering what he could possibly be talking about. She's about to question him when Fahd does so, and she opts to study the man closely. Is he mad? Does he mean to do us harm?

"Well, yeah, that's why we were sent here. We were told to look for an abandoned corridor beneath the school. Maybe we would find survivors there or somethin'."

Acel shrugs. Something's probably lost in this man's mind, but Acel's seen worse. Maybe he has some useful information at hand.

"Oh, many of the children survived the earthquake. I saved many of them myself — teachers and students. Some still call me a hero.”

“I don’t know anything about any sort of abandoned corridor. Mrs. Heracks was down there the longest though. Perhaps she can help. Come on, I’ll introduce you. She’s in Headmistress Kiwu’s old office now.”

Ashka and Acel:
You are not quite sure what to make of this man. He seems pretty authentic, though.

Fahd:
This man truly and deeply believes what he is telling you. You can detect no sign of deception on his part.

Ashka shakes her head in quiet disbelief, then follows along behind the man.


The ruined paths of the Tri-Towers Yard wind their way around black ponds and gray, shattered buildings. The man leads you to the entrance to a small classroom, then turns and waits for the group to catch up.

When you arrive, you see ten students dressed in checkered uniforms sitting stiffly at wooden desks, staring straight ahead. No one moves. At the front of the class, a conservatively dressed woman leans against the wall.

The man pipes up once the group arrives: ”This is Mrs. Heracks. Come, I will introduce you.”

As soon as he turns towards the teacher, the classroom starts in motion. The teacher stands up straight and begins to gesture, as if describing something to the class. The students nod, and a few lean over and whisper to one another. However, the entire scene remains completely silent. After looking closely, you notice that the students and the teacher have a wispy appearance, and you can actually see through them to the brickwork beyond.

"Uhh..." Acel raises her eyebrow. "Why are the kids transparent? It's like no one moved until we got close."

Acel tries to take a careful look as the phenomenon.

Ashka makes a quick hand gesture, as if warding off some evil, then says quietly, "I don't know a thing about ghosts...but I'm pretty sure these kids are ghosts." She pauses a moment, then tips her small head in the direction of their guide and asks, "So why doesn't he know that?"

Pretty sure this is going to be Knowledge (religion).

"Sir, don't you see that whatever this is, it isn't real? They are either ghosts or something strange, but they aren't real."

Xasay gives Fahd a strange, concerned, slightly patronizing look.

"If you do not think ghosts or strange things are real, you have much to learn."


Ashka is right on the knowledge check.

After conferring briefly with Mrs. Heracks (during which you only hear Deris's side of the conversation), he turns to the group and says:"What do you mean the students aren't real? Of course they are. Just look at them. Say, what exactly is it you are here for? I thought you had been invited by Mrs. Heracks, since you have a key. But she doesn't seem to remember why she invited you." A scowl crosses the man's face as he awaits your answer.

Acel merely nods along with his words, then elbows Xasay, hoping he will answer before she does.

Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

"Perhaps we were invited as guest lecturers. Hello, students, Mrs. Heracks," He addresses the ghosts as though nothing at all were out of the ordinary. "I am Ṣ̄ilpin k̄hxng ngeā thī̀ xāṣ̄ạy xyū̀. Would you like to see a story? Since there is all this talk of ghosts, how about the story of the Ghost's Apprentice?"

Xasay then heads to the front of the classroom and puts on a shadow theatre performance about an odd Tian story of a poor vagabond who tricks a formidable specter.

Perform (Acting): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Regrettably, the light is poor for a shadow performance, and Xasay discovers too late that he has picked a story he doesn't actually remember all that well.

Fahd wasn't amused by the whole situation. He holds his tongue, wanting to see how this chicanery plays out. He supposed he was going to have to punch Deris before all this was said and done, so he started mentally focusing on what he was going to have to do.

Ashka shakes her head in frustration, thinking to herself, This was going to be a strange enough job without a whacko and a class full of ghosts. She decides to check out the situation a little more closely, moving as unobtrusively as she can toward the nearest student.

Stealth: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

Not really trying to be unspottable, just trying to be subtle in approaching the ghostly students.

Plain as day walks forward ^_^


The man watches the performance with delight. At the end, he applauds, and followed a beat behind by the students clapping. They don't generate any sound with their clapping, however.

"Oh, how I wish the other students could be here to see this. They haven't all come.... out yet, though." The man's words trail off in a melancholy sort of way.

Ashka is able to approach the students while the rest are distracted by the performance. She sees that a couple of students have real notebooks lying open on their desks.

"If Po was new at being a ghost," Xasay concludes the tale, "he was even newer at being rich; but he liked it." Xasay's puppets bow to their audience.

Ashka steps close to one of the desks and takes a look at the notebook on it, wondering what it might tell her about the place.

She looks over her shoulder and says to the man, "Come out of where? Where are the rest of the children? Oh, and is there any chance you know a girl named Junia?"

"Maybe we could help bring the rest of the children out, if you would show us where they are," Fahd seizes upon the idea, realizing there may be a way that he doesn't have to beat up the man.

yes mayhap we can get them... vires said I don't want to be forced to smash this man's head in...


Ashka is able to page through the notebook during the performance. It appears to be a journal written by your strange new acquaintance. On one page, there is a map of the grounds showing a large black pool of bubbling water. The pool is highlighted on the map.

”No, I don’t know anyone named Junia. At least Cassiel never mentioned her. But, yes, we can definitely show you where they are.”

The man turns and leads the spirit of the teacher, who moves in short, jerking steps, out of the classroom and deeper into the grounds of the school. You eventually arrive at a wide, black pool where an occasional bubble percolates up in the center.

The gently bubbling black water is waist deep. After a few moments studying the pool, you spot a fully-submerged, severed human arm jutting up from the blackened silt near the center of the pool. The man spends a few moments talking silently to Mrs. Heracks and gestures at the bubbles, saying, “She says the entrance is beneath that arm.”

Xasay's eyes become huge at the sight of this uncanny pool. He seems more interested in the water itself than anything in it, and walks carefully up to the edge.

"Fishing, anyone? How about laundry?" He jokes.

I try to detect magic.

"You mean we have to swim to get in there?" Ashka asks, having studied the disembodied arm a moment and then setting it out of her mind. "How deep is it? Are the other students all under water?"

"Can anyone give me some light? I guess I'm probably the best one to swim down here and check it out. If it's really deep, I'll come back up and drink my potion."

Sounds like the pool is waist deep, so no swimming is needed. If I do need to swim, feel free to correct me.

"Haha. No one would ever look under there!" Acel giggles and approaches the arm. She casts detect magic first and wades in, clutching tightly onto her potion of Touch of the Sea.

Assuming it doesn't seem like a trap, she grabs the arm.


Knowledge(nature) would be the right check.

It appears to be normal water, just full of really dark silt and muck. Nothing in the pool detects as magical.

Acel wades out to the arm. As she approaches, you can see that it is tightly gripping a metal handle. It is also covered in giant, bulbous white eggs.

No, my other Magus has K Knowledge!

"Anyone knows what these eggs are? Ah, heck with it." Acel chugs her potion of Touch of the Sea and reaches for the handle. Assuming it isn't bitten off, she pulls it with her now webbed hands.

As Acel moves toward the strange arm, Ashka moves along behind her. Before the magus can touch the door, she takes a quick look at it for any surprises.

She comments to Acel, "I'm not sure if it's trapped or not, might just make sense to roll the dice. I'll be right behind you."

As Acel moves to grab the handle, a giant water bug rears up in a spray of dank water. It lunges at Acel.

Bite@Acel, AC 14: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

The bug catches Acel in its mandibles, taking a big bite out of her side.

Xasay grimaces at Acel's nasty wound, then whips out his trusty stencils. Seemingly from out of nowhere appears a formidable and otherworldly-looking glossy black raptor, which dives into the bug.

Never fear, I'll save you...with puppets!

I generate a shadowy celestial eagle, DC 16 Will save to reduce it to 20% reality. It arrives in flanking position relative to Acel, and smites for smiting's sake in case this thing is Evil and not just hungry. Add +1 to the following damage rolls if this is so.

talon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

talon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1
