The shantak attacks Creeden
Eleric cast a blinding burst of light through his staff (Ref 21 roll twice take the lower).
With a shriek of surprise the shantak is blinded by Eleric's spell and falls to the ground with a thud, quite, quite dead.
Loot: Vestments worth 600gp
"Who knows how that summoned that creature." Creeden gathers the vestments and looks around.
”Where to next,” Tess whispers to the group.
"I believe Ortensia had a vision of a basement. I think that should be next. Is it possible to tackle that after a little rest. My magic does not quite have the endurance of your attacks."
I think we will rest if no one has an object the had below the mannor from 10 on the main floor.
After resting you head down into the basement area. The crude stone stair opens into a wide cavern. An alcove to the north holds a tall glass tank in which stands the perfectly preserved corpse of a man. A single, large discoloured bronze bell inscribed with strange runes hands from one wall.
”Can anyone read this language?”
Creeden will go and examine it.
Eleric casts detect magic before he approaches.
Eleric you can tell that the bell is the focus for an alarm spell.
"That bell is going to make our presence known really quickly. We should avoid it. Let's check out the left passage next."Eleric says from the back fo the group.
Several shallow pools have collected on the floor of this chamber among a number of natural stone columns. Great smears of dried black ichor stain one wall above the corpses of two fishlike humanoids, obviously the victims of great violence. Inside the room are 7 fish like creatures that you recognise as skum.
Tess realizes her Prayer spell would be the best option versus the large number of enemies.
Creeden rushes into the room and attacks the first skum.
