Sheriff Benjan Caeller |
The Sheriff wakes up from all this noise and half asleep he shouts "Shut up Gibs!" But as Gibs continues unimpressed and the Sheriff gets a closer look at him he gets scared. He wishes he had his deputies with him. He moves his desk opposite to the cell and topples it over to use the surface as cover. He leans his sword at the table for easy access. He loads his crossbow and aims at Gibs.
GM Foxy |
Stam is quick asleep in a cozy bed in the Outward Inn.
Looking through it you see in the moon lit night a small village below the hill with smoke above the chimneys and a light in the window here and there. As you turn around you see your name appear on the wall S - T - A - M written in blood.
Kendra Lorrimor __ |
Kendra wakes up at dawn dresses up and leaves the house. She buys a dozen eggs from a nearby farmer, fresh bread at the baker and some sausages at the butcher.
As she comes back from her shopping trip she prepares breakfast for all and the smell of eggs, bacon and sausages wafts through the house while she sings a happy song.
"Wake up it's a beautiful morning
Feel the sun shining for your eyes
Wake up it's so beautiful
For what could be the very last time"
She lays the table for five and puts the food on the table.
Jominda Fallenbridge __ |
Jominda simply ignores it as Kendra wakes up and leaves the room. She tugs herself in for another hour of sleep. But as the tasty smell of breakfast reaches her nose she gets outof 'bed' dresses up and walks down to the dining room. "Good morning." she greets Kendra. "And a god morning it is with this delicious breakfast you prepared."
Darius Redgrave |
Darius wakes a little early and goes through his Diefic Obedience to Iomedae for an hour in the morning before dressing and equipping himself for todays battle.
"Morning everyone. How did you sleep? That food smells delicious. I good start to the day."
Stam Truthfinder |
Stam will look around again at the room that he knows that he did not go to sleep in. "Must just be a bad dream, they did say something about the book and your name written in blood. They called him a splatman man? No like blood hitting the ground, splatting man? Splatterman, yes that was it. He must have been quite the mage."
Stam will lay back down on the wooden plank bed, "Splatterman I am coming to have a chat with you." Closing his eyes Stam will go back to sleep.
In the morning he will study his spell book, eat and then head to the jail house to ask the sheriff somet questions.
"Excuse me Sheriff, can you tell me anything about this splatterman?"
Stam Truthfinder |
Stam will bow to the Sheriff, "My name is Stam Truthfinder, I am a mage in the employ of the God Nethys and I was passing through your town yesterday when I met some interesting people. Long story short I am going to help them with a place the Harrow Stone. I can see that you had a rough night?"
Brother Grergof Varsk |
Grergof is up before dawn and is in the middle of the dawn prayers to the Dawnbringer when Kendra leaves. When she returns he is up and ready recording all of yesterday's events in his journal.
He greets each person who comes down with a quiet good morning, and eats his breakfast mechanically with his mind focused on the events ahead.
Darius Redgrave |
Having breakfast Darius speaks. "So, big morning ahead. The Splatterman won't know what hit him. We'll need the whole team. Speaking of, Spugnoir has been asleep for a week! I'll get him."
Darius excuses himself and heads over to Spugnoirs room. With a slight knock on the door he promps Spugnoir. "Spugs my friend. Time to rouse. The Harrowstone won't won't be kept waiting." he chuckles.
Kendra Lorrimor __ |
Kendra answers the door. "Oh hello Mr. - sorry I didn't catch your name yesterday." She looks startled at the ox.
I looked through the posts and you didn't introduce yourself to Kendra and your name wasn't mentioned even once.
Spugnoir2 |
Spugnoir rises at the knocking. Yes, yes! I will be right down! Spugnoir gets out of bed and does his morning routine before heading down for breakfast. Good morning! I feel so refreshed and ready to take on Harrowstone.
He then settles in for eggs and bacon.[/n]
Darius Redgrave |
After Spugnoir heads down to the table and everyone finishes their breakfast, Darius goes back up to his room and retrieves the book. Grim determination on his face to get this done today.
GM Foxy |
Once all are out of bed and had breakfast and Ned is placed behind the house the group marches back to the Harrowstone to settle this once and for all. They go in on their special route through the window. Into the basement they come down the ladder.
Stam get's a short introduction to what they know on the way but it boils down to: everything will be all right once the Splatterman is put to rest. And he is told when you are going, walk nicely and quietly and do not run off the path or you might run into the big bad wolf a nasty haunt.
Finally the group stands in the center room to set up the order for the fight.
Foxy Quickpaw |
You know, most of this stuff is first level anyway which you could copy from a scroll you buy at 25 gold. Or you rip out summon monster 4 for four pages and keep all the rest as you can't cast it anyway for three more levels. Also you cold invest some RP time in befriending another wizard that is around and exchange spells. No need to be so focused on that cursed book.
Darius Redgrave |
Before we go in, Darius gathers everyone and crosses his arms before him and then opens them up in a reverse hug and a subtle light reaches out and touches everyone. Casts Communal protection from Evil on everyone.
Then steps aside and faces the way to the ghost and tracers a triangular shape before him which shimmers slightly in the air even after he lowers his hand. Casts Shield of Faith.
Stam Truthfinder |
FIne fine, I want at least Dispel Magic, the other rip out at your leisure.
Stam will pull out a little suit of armor, casting a spell burning a reservoir point a breast plate of force encases him. He will follow in behind Darius. "I have 2 spells that I think will help to slow him down."
GM Foxy |
As both, Grergof and Spugnoir don't cast I assume you go in together.If Spugnoir wants to down a mutagen he can write that in later.
The group goes in to face the final opponent.

Darius Redgrave |
Darius SO downs The flask of liquid that Spugboir gave to him before entering. And readies himself for the first sign of the ghostly Mage. Ready Action. Will cast a spell as soon as that pain in the incorporeal butt shows his face.
GM Foxy |
Stam, in case you haven't noticed your action was to shoot your letter as you failed your will save. Everyone can from this round on make their own will saves as long as the haunt isn't destroyed (DC16). If you make the will save you may act as you wish. If not you're attacking the wall.

Oh now it's on!

As the magic missles are absorbed Grergof gives a grim smile.
Sirs your magic is a blessing beyond all expectation. I am in your debt!
Will Save + Protection from Evil: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
As the ghost appears Grergof focus on him and calls out:
Spirit your reign of terror is at an end. You will fall before the Dawnbringer might!
Smite Evil on ghost
Then he pulls out his new bow, draws forth a ghost touch arrow and fires it at the ghost:
Longbow + Smite Evil + Magic Arrow: 1d20 + 4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 3 + 1 = 14
Damage + Smite Evil + Magic Arrow (ghost Touch): 1d8 + 4 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 6 + 1 = 16
