Nope, he doesn't have a clue what it is, either.
"It will be all right Hilde. We'll find some enemies somewhere." Min says to Hilde, but she actually looks relieved that the rooms were empty.
Hilde stands, smiling at Min, and wondering if to torch the place down in frustration.
She decides it isn't as fun as kicking people around, shakes her head, and goes to sit at the entrance of the place, waiting for somebody to appear.
Lomrick has to be here somewhere! Kit says in frustration.
As Kit looks into the garden storage room, he notices something--a faint outline in the wall, about the right size for a door...
Well! What do we have here? Kit asks as he tries to open the 'door'.
Hilde hears Kit, stands, and moves towards him.
After fiddling around for a bit, Kit manages to find a hidden catch that, when pulled, slides a piece of the wall to the side, revealing a hidden staircase that descends into the darkness.
Kit steps aside. After you, my dear! Maybe you will find something down there to kill! Kit says with a sweep of his arms to Hilde.
Hilde smiles, nods, and descends the stairs, ax in hand, a prayer in her heart and a murderous intent in her mind.
Dilwyn continues to take the rear. He's surprised and relieved to find that there's more to this manor than first appeared. He would have been very annoyed if their new friend had sent them on a snipe hunt.
"Have fun Hilde. We are going to make so much money in the arena with her."
Hilde reaches the bottom of the stairs and sees something that likely makes her smile--two more klaven pointing guns at her.
A scream of joy precedes Hilde as she charges the closest of the enemies, transforming into her feline form as she does.
Iskender moves down, keeping Hilde forward of himself and attempts to use his whip to disarm the creature that Hilde didn’t engage...
In the unusual position of being within reaching distance of a foe, Dilwyn moves close and swings his shillelagh at the first one still in fighting condition.
Between the two of them, Hilde and Dilwyn take one of the klaven down. The other retreats around the corner.
Kit will pursue the Klaven. Hey! Save one for me!
Hilde half walks and half jumps chasing the escaping one and attacking him as soon as he is in range.
The thing moves too quickly for Dilwyn to have any hope of catching up, so he moves to the corner and fires a tiny bolt of lightning at the fleeing Klaven once he can see it.
Min heads down the stairs to see what's going on. "All the enemies down?" she asks as she turns the corner.
Kit will continue to follow Hilde in case she walks into a trap.
Iskender moves forward. If the klaven goes to retreat through that door, I will drop grease under it, centered behind it, so as to not get Hilde.
DC 14 on grease.
Robbed of its weapon and its back against the door, the klaven slashes at Hilde with its claws.
It hits once, drawing only a small amount of blood from her.
Hilde stops attacking, takes a claw to her wound, takes some of her blood and then licks it from her hand. She smiles.
She looks the Klaven to his eyes.
"You are brave. I respect that."
She stands ready for his next attack.
Hilde will wait for the Klaven's next attack.
Iskender reaches out and heals Hilde...
Min sends a Magic Missile at the Klaven.
Dilwyn moves closer. He feels the tingling in his finger tips, but hesitates. He's not sure why Hilde is just standing there, but doesn't want to ruin whatever moment she's having.
Ah! You waited for me! Kit ssays as he brings his axe to bear.
The klaven continues clawing at Hilde.
Hilde,a wife smile in her face, unleash against the Klaven.
Hilde quite messily annihilates the klaven, leaving a bloody mess that collapses to the floor.
Hilde, in a much better mood and without transforming back into her human form opens the wide double doors behind what remains of the Klaven.
The room beyond is bare save for a 10' by 10' glass enclosure in its center and a small hole to the southeast. The enclosure, however, is not empty: within is some sort of horrible mass of flesh, eyes, and mouths. It recoils slightly as the light falls on it, but soon all its eyes focus on Hilde, and its mouths begin a hideous cacaphony of maniacal laughter.
Dilwyn moves up to the opened doorway and frowns at the thing in the room. "What?" is all he can manage, confused into a loss of all other words.
Hilde spits on the floor and losses concentration, transforming back into her human form, leaning on the wall, as far away from the aberration as possible.
Ye gods! What in tarnation is that? Kit says just as confused as Dilwyn.
Min hurries to the room. "Let me take a look. Iskender what do you think it is?"
