Spugnoir checks.

What do you check and in search of what?

"That seems a little... Harsh. Does it say if anyone arrived on the day of the fire?"

Hailiss checks the next door.

It was in response to this. I think it got lost as we moved onto a new page?

This spacious room smells of mildew and rot. A long desk and chair sit to the south, while to the northwest a narrow alcove contains a closed safe. Thick layers of dust cover everything in sight.
Room S4 on the map

Spugnoir checks for balances.

Spugnoir examines the safe.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

This really isn't what I am good at. Let us search the room, maybe the combination was left on a little piece of paper stuck under the desk.

Sorry about the lack of detail. The safe has a lock, you would search for a key.

Spugnoir looks under the desk and chair. Classic spots to leave a key.

Darius gathers up all the notes he can on what prisoners were there and for what to go over at a later time as they may be useful. Then proceeds to follow the rest of the group down the hallway. Sword drawn and ready. Expecting more resistance the deeper they venture.

Assuming that Darius and Grergof got all the notes between the two of them...

Grergof stands near the doorway of the room holding the lantern in on hand and his scimitar in his other. As he does he stands watch as the others search. He is looking for anything odd he sees in the room or hallway, as well as scanning this whole area for evil.

You all search the area, I will stand guard.

There is no key found in the office.

A look in the last door in the corridor reveals a washroom and a privy (S5). There is nothing of interest found there.

Well I could try opening it, not very good at that kind of thing though. Any safecrackers here?

I say go ahead and try, If nobody has opened this after all these years, clearly they have forsaken ownership of the contents. And the contents may have been protected from the fire.

Oh and just so you know: As far as I can tell the safe looks haunt free to me.

Spugnoir pokes and prods and slaps the safe a few times.
People best leave the room just in case.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

The safe is not impressed by Spugnoir's attempt.

You're allowed to take 20 on disable device to open locks. It takes two minutes and bears no risk for you. And you would find out immediately if your skill is sufficient.

Spugnoir takes an extra two minutes.

Maybe I could make some acid out of our stomach acid. Strain off the bile and I could get enough to dissolve a little.

The safe is still not impressed by Spugnoir's skills.

I am afraid this is beyond my abilities. we'll need a professional locksmith.

Let us head east and check the door there. Spugnoir rustles everyone east SE door of S2 that leads to the south part of S15

Several rows of wooden benches, all spotted with mold and sagging with neglect, face a stage walled off from the rest of the room by a wall of iron bars. Over this stage the way leads to a door.

standing at the opened door looking in.

Brother Varsk stands in the doorway and scans the room for evil.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 if needed.

So should we keep going east?

"Picking up anything there Brother Grergof?" Darius says also scanning the room for anything suspicious.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

"I truly do hate places like this, if you see something, say something."

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Something evil learns in most of this room. 'Most likely another haunt on the far side of the room near the bench and the bars.

If we enter we should proceed with caution.

Agreed, Darius seems to be the most effective at dealing with haunts with his blessings.

"There's also the haunt siphons. Do we save them for later?"

We should have one at the ready if there is a haunt.

"Grergof, did you say 'MOST' of this room?! Aw by a goblins hairy sack." With that Darius' left hand shoots forward and up over him as tiny gold lights trail behind his hand and onto his form.
Casts Hide from Undead. Saving Throw DC 15 Will negates. Spell Resistance yes
For a brief second his form shimmers then returns to normal. He then moves into the room with his sword at the ready.
"Lets do this."

As you wish.

Grergof readies his scimitar and lantern and steps into the room next to Aada.

Ready action to intercept anything physical within reach threating Aada or myself.

Darius moves into the room with nothing else happening. As Grergof steps into the room the temperature immediately drops significantly.
(Grergof and Darius -> DC11 Fort Save to avoid 1Str damage)
Negative Energy Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Fort Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
"Is it me or did it get as cold as a frost Giants' armpit in here?" Darius says with a shiver.

Is it another one of those haunts? We best banish it.

Aada draws her sword out and prepares for an attack to come as Darius and Gregof move into the remove.

Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Sarenrae protect us. Sir Redgrave You are right, it is far too cold in here for it to be natural.

It's your turn.

K. Religion: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

"It's cold, right? We could just burn it."

My bombs are fire!

Spugnoir pushes up and lobs a bomb.
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Shivering Brother Varsk says:
Good memory Miss Hailiss, That is a cold spot haunt and is affected by fire. I wish I knew how to permanently get rid of these spirits

Will Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
"This might help as well." Darius steps forward and raises his palm as soft light begins to coalesce in front of his hand before bursting into a flash of light.

Uses up Detact undead to Spontaneously cast Cure Light Wounds into Positive energy to harm the Haunt (I think that's right, right?)

Cure Light Wounds (Harm) Channel Positive Energy: 1d8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 2 = 10 (+2 Dmg cos of Sun Domain), Will save for half. DC16 (I think, DC14 + 2 for Glory Domain) I think I did all that right. Lemme know if I missed anything.

Channel and Spontaneously casting a spell is different. Your domain abilities from Sun/Glory apply only to channeling

Spugnoirs fire and Darius' healing put the haunt out of existance. The cold vanishes and it slowly heats up to room temperature.

For future uses: CLW to harm undead normally needs a touch attack. So please state where you put your hand when using it against a haunt.

Spugnoir starts to carefully examine the room. I think in those mystery novels, they would call this 'walking the grid'. When detectives search an area.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

This part of the room separated by the bars from the rest hides no surprises. Just the wooden platform in the middle and the door at the other end of this part that is more like a corridor.

Let us go through the east door then.

The metal door to this room remains quite sound and in addition, it is locked.

Spugnoir tries to do the lock picky thingie even though he has had little success. Taking 20

The lock is of the same making as the one in the safe. It doesn't open on Spugnoirs attempt.

I'm afraid that we'll either have to break the door down or leave it.
