"We're agreed. Castle and Ameiko first. Thank you Azatra. I hope ridding this area of its malaise allows it to flourish again."

Kagyu turns, nods at his companions and heads off back toward the castle. U8/U9

The little farie sees you off, flitting about, but since you are not injured cannot offer much other help.

Retracing your steps is a straight forward thing and little has changed except you note that the guards are no longer on the palisades. You are unchallenged back to the dinning area you had found earlier.

Once back you check the door to the north west (U9) and find that it is simply a bathroom. Two other rooms to the direction are also unoccupied.

U10. Servants’ Quarters
The door to this room is stuck shut. It hasn’t been opened in years, bu Gortrek manages to pull it open.

Filaments of white, fibrous mold grow all along the walls and across the bunk beds in this room, giving the room a foul, musty stink. Here and there, thicker mounds of fungus grow in nauseating colors. the mold is harmless

Within the mould you can see two mummified skeletons, most likely of former servants. Their head and limbs have been severed from the bodies.

U11. Servants’ Quarters
Several bunk beds lean precariously against the walls in this
cramped chamber.

Where too next?

I have labeled the doors with color for easier communication.

Kagyu kneels down and inspects the mummies, and their wrappings trying to discover anything.

Was this a religious act? Or are they food for the spiders we encountered earlier...?

Heal check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

The bodies are mostly bone. You can tell they were human and had been dismembered. Beyond that you can gain little other information.

Losjien turns to the group on seeing the dismembered skeletons.
"Poor souls"

Losjien kneels and sweeps some of the strange colored fungus into a pouch he keeps in his bag and keeps moving with the group.

"The door at the end of the hall may be discreet Red."

LLosjien kneels and sweeps some of the strange colored fungus into a pouch he keeps in his bag and keeps moving with the group.

"The door at the end of the hall may be discreet."

"Good a start as any." Miyagi says in agreement, following his sorcerer companion.

U15. Despoiled Shrine (pg. 47)
Dozens of paintings of a towering humanoid figure with four wings, a bird’s head, and a scorpion’s tail decorate the walls of this room, seemingly painted in blood. Old pews sit in a line facing the eastern wall, where a hideously defaced statue of a winged woman stands.

In the room stand three corbies. Two appear much as the others you have battled. The third is a black female dire corbie dressed in filthy red robes caked with blood and filth. Her feathers are also matted in the same way.

She screeches at you as the door opens.

"Soooo you did not leave! Nooo matter now we get to play. Shooould have left."

As soon as she stops speaking she whistles and the sound moves and bursts in a cachophoney of noise in the center of the main group.

A clap of thunder causes pain to ring through Tahata's head but he shakes it off and leaps forward into the fray, calling "Maitoh, hücum!" as he thrusts his spear at the nearest corby.

Tahata - Free Action to 5ft step east, Standard Action to attack blue.

Durian pushes through the wave of evil energy coming off of the cleric corby [i]Who knew they had clerics?[/] Durian wonders to himself.

He is unable to get through the press of allies around the cleric so he focuses on trying to take down the last of the normal corbies.

Maitoh Fort save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

The wave of energy wracks Tahata with pain but Maitoh shakes off the worst of it. Tahata recovers enough to try to dodge the corby's blows, slipping round behind it to attack with Maitoh from both sides, keeping the creature off balance as the pair bite and stab.

Tahata - Move Action to move 10ft at half speed attempting an Acrobatics check to avoid AoOs (Acrobatics vs CMD: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9), Standard Action to attack blue.

Both Tahata and Losjein take the full power of the negative energy blast. Losjien drinks a postion to get some of his energy back while Tahata and Maitoh finish off the blue corbie.

Seeing the damage the entier party is taken Kagyu concentrates and unleashes healing energy for his party.

The wave of negative energy cause pain to reverberate through the monk's whole body for a bit. He kept it together and shook most of it off however. It also helped when Kagyu refreshed him with his own clerical powers. "You will not live to regret that, corby!" The monk said before letting his fists fly at the evil creature.

As though summoned by her voice two additional corbies appear behind the group having come from some small rooms behind and to the west.

Tahata flicks corby blood from his spear and turns to confront the robed corby. With little space available near the surrounded creature Tahata points towards Losjien and calls "Maitoh, qorumaq!" The wolf rushes to obey, standing guard near Losjien while Tahata jabs his spear at his opponent.

Durian cannot connect with his spear on the new arrival. Both Gortrek and Tahata strike at Nevakali, both landing their attacks and opening big wounds. The creature screams and looks as though it will stay in the fight but quickly its eyes cloud as it falls forward to the floor.

Still reeling from the energy blast Losjien is angry. "MAIM THEM" he yells through clinched teeth.

After landing some decisive blows, the cleric falls before his eyes. "Told him he not live to regret it." He stated.

"Thank you Kagyu! Do you think Nevakali is dead?" he yells to the group.

"Deader than Soggy River Monster!" the monk yelled back as he rushed over to give aid to the duo.

Move 20 ft and Power Attack Pink

Unarmed Strike-PA: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

After Losjien tosses some acid indiscriminately onto the floor, no where near the corbie, Miysgi-san drops Pink with a well placed kick to the hold bean bags.

The heroes, focused on one target, quickly bring down the final corbie and the area is quiet.

With a moment to look you can see that Nevakali did an excellent job of despoiling what was once a temple Desna. The room is covered with blood and other filth. On her body you find the following items.

Nevakali's Body [/b]

The rest of this level is clear, there are two rooms of note. The first is a library in a tower.

U17. Tower Library
The walls of this semicircular room are lined with bookshelves, although the majority of the books lie in disorganized piles on the floor. A large, filthy nest of grass, branches, and strips of cloth is tucked in the northeastern corner of the room, while a wooden door sits in the wall to the northwest and a flight of stairs leads down to the south.

The books are all aged and beyond saving.

The 2nd place of interest is an old storeroom.

U12: Storeroom
Although this storeroom may have once been well organized, the fallen crates and broken barrels that fill the room now present a tangle of debris.

With time to search you find a skeleton of a child pinned to the floor beneath a stack of old firewood and a heavy iron brazier. There are childlike, but good, charcoal drawings beside the body depicting what look like ninjas with throwing stars fighting bird headed men and lumbering magical ogers wielding axes. This is probably another window into what happened here.

Where to next? There were the stairs down.

This drawing is certainly interesting. I suppose it's safe to say the ninjas lost the fight! I hope we don't run into these magical ogres with axes!

Durian is ready to move onward once everyone has gathered what they want. He has no use for any of the magical items, but is happy to have them in the party.

We've cleared out enough to cover our rear, now we should go see what evil lies in the basement....

"Miyagi agree. Only place left to look for source of Ameiko's illness. Put it off long enough"

"Agreed Durian and Miyagi...BUT this drawing is very interesting. Ninja's, Ogres and Axes. There is clearly a clue here"

Losjien kneels down and makes a copy of the drawing as best he can using the Ink he had found previously.

"We will want to share this with the caravan when we are back, Koya or Shalelu may have insight." He pauses.

"Before we go below I want to trace the picture of the castle hanging on the floor below us as well."

As Gortrek looked back in the direction of the stairs, it was taking every ounce of his discipline to not rush on ahead without the others.

"Before we go below I want to trace the picture of the castle hanging on the floor below us as well."

This proved to be the final straw.

"Excuse me, but you want to hold off on helping our companion so you can draw a picture? Ameiko lies sickened by forces beyond our understanding, and rather than search the final location it may be, you want to sketch a castle?"

Gortrek placed his hand on his sheathed blade. "I will not force you to act with honor if you do not wish it. But I refuse to wait any longer while danger hovers over our friends head. If you wish to stay behind, so beit, but those who wish to do honor to the Kaijitsu name, follow me!"

Regardless of whether or not anyone listened, he began to make his way towards the stairs down.

"What are ninjas?" Tahata asks, unfamiliar with the term, but before an answer is forthcoming Gortrek explodes in anger. It's clear that the half-orc cares deeply about his unwell friend, and that the anger comes from love.

He follows Gortrek towards the stairs with Maitoh trotting along beside him. Catching up to the half-orc he says "I have no doubt that Losjien cares deeply for Ameiko, but he has a curious spirit. We will help Ameiko first, and explore later."

Durian just raises an eyebrow at the sudden outburst, not terribly surprised to see uncontrolled emotion coming from an orc (even a half-orc).

He shrugs and follows after Tahata.

Ninjas are assassins. quiet and deadly. Kind of like Miyagi if he didn't make so much noise" Durian says with a wink

"What are ninjas?"

Ninjas are assassins. quiet and deadly. Kind of like Miyagi if he didn't make so much noise" Durian says with a wink

The monk chuckled heartily at the dwarf's joshing. not taking any of it personally. "Critical blow, Durian-san. Hope you saved some for our foes." He joked back while patting the dwarf on the shoulder before addressing Tahata's question while following Gortrek to the basement. "Ninja just fancy Tian term for 'Rouge with Ki', Tahata-san. Inflated stories make you think ninja wear all black, sneak around at dead of night, and slit target's throat. Truth is ninja look like anything they want and go where they please by any means. Ninja can be humble farmer, faithful butler, angry drunkard, anything to achieve goal. Still, better scout and sneak assassin than combatant."

Their are two places you can head down I chose this one as it is the first one you would come to moving downstairs.

After some, lets say... discussion, the party moves back to the first floor to the stairs leading below that they had found earlier. As you start down the stairs the air quickly grows damp and a small of old rot fills the air.

Those leading the party down stop when they see light coming from a room at the bottom of the stairs. Everyone can hear the sound of movement and hissing.

V1. Mess Hall (Pg. 53)

Long benches in various states of disrepair and several battered and filthy wooden tables stand between stone pillars in this room. The air here stinks of reptiles. Inside the room are five grey scaled humanoid creatures with long tails and ridges on their backs and heads. Two seem to be fighting over food and the others are watching. None of them have seen the party so you have the drop on them.

Losjien whips his tracing away from Gortrek. "Do you know what Amieko's sickness is? Do any of us? We do not. Koya believe the answers are within this keep and anything we do not understand should take utmost scrutiny."

Losjien looks dramtically around at what was once a place of worship to Desna, his own diety. He looks back to Gortrek with a heavy brow.

"Those of us who have traveled far still do not have answers. So seek knowledge before answeres...Now run along and dive headfirst into another giant spider web"

Losjien intends on sketching the castle hanging prior to entering the basement regardless of the party.

GM: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Losjien, you will arrive at the current combat on turn 3.

Tahata sees, and smells, the grey-scaled creatures in the room beyond. Hoping to catch them unawares, and fearful of being caught in the narrow passageway should they not, he quietly signals Maitoh forwards. Moving quickly, man and wolf rush the nearest creature, hoping to bring it down.

As the group descended down the stairs and encountered the scally creatures, the monk found himself at the back of the group. This was no problem for him however since he was also the fastest. Squeezing past the others in the rush to join the fight, he joined Tahata in attacking the creatures.

He stabs at one of the creatures (blue)

Tahata and his companion rush into the room and while the cannot connect Tahata drives his spear deep into the creature staggering it. Miyagi-san moes to the side and finishes off the creature Tahata had stabbed.

Trying to match Tahata Durian moves in and strikes with his spear but the blow is deflected by hard scales.

Kagyu follows the others in in time to see the red creature fall.

The sounds of battle where around him. But at this point, it was the beating of his heart in his ears that drowned things out.

He took a deep breath. He had to remain calm. To lose control was to lose everything. Channel your anger. Let it be your blade.

He rushed in, drawing his blade, and swung.

Attack on Blue: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Damage?: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Centering himself Gortrek moves in and slices the blue creature drawing thick black blood.

Lashing back at Gortrek the blue creature lashes out with his claws and teeth.

Claw 1 @G: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Claw 2 @G: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Bite @G: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

The creature in pink rags also moves forward aiming for the half-orc.

Claw 1 @G: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Claw 2 @G: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Bite @G: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Finally the one in yellow rags advances at Durian looking for blood.

Claw 1 @D: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Claw 2 @D: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Bite @D: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Somehow all six attacks from the two creatures miss Gortrek. Durian is not so lucky as two of the attacks land and draw blood.
