Freyr nods silently in understanding. "Better to know where everyone was before we make a move. Be ready for them to move first though." He moves toward the center of the main room, his sword still ready for trouble. "Sister, either stay back, or stay close to me. I'll try to take the brunt of the attack again if they send more men after us."
Checking the door to the SE Tayanalla finds that it opens easily.
H14. Sickroom
Four beds, two large chests, and a single table with four chairs and four beds occupy this room. Three windows look out to the east, west, and south, providing a grand view of the snowy gorge outside the lodge. Laying in the are four obviously ill raiders. As the door opens two struggle to their feet.
They attempt to grab weapons but are clearly too ill still, they stand as defiantly as they can and one, throat horse and quite speaks.
"Well... come on then. We won't go down easily."
They shuffle towards the door.
We are in initiative order and the party is up.
The two other sick raiders just lay in their beds struggling to stand up.

Taya steps back and closes the door.
"These poor fools look too sick to harm anyone. Help me brace this door and keep them penned in." she says to the others.
Freyr nods and crosses the room quickly, stopping by the bench for the table just behind them. He grabbed the solid wooden piece of furniture and pushed it forward. "Try this."
Taya braces her foot against the door while the others grab a bench to block it.
Neji takes the time to move inside of the lodge to make sure everything was going alright.
"Someone help me with this."
Frjya followed after Neji as they where starting to move into the lodge proper, Frjya looked around the corner to see what they where up to.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Frjya asked him mentally.
"Trying to stop a group of sick bandits from picking a fight they can't win," Freyr projects back to his sibling.
Even by himself Freyr manages to quickly move the table, very qietly, to block the door.
There is a bit of a muffled thud from behind the door but it quickly stops with a bit of mumbling about fever dreams.
Checking upstairs you are met with another closed door. There is mumbling coming from behind the door. From what you can make it is a male voice about locations on a map.
The door is not locked, nor is the door that has not been opened on the first floor. You also have found another set of stairs, under the first, that leads to a basement and a locked door.
"Upstairs first? Surely they didn't lock the girl in the basement?"
"Dungeons are normally down aren't they?" Frjya asked "I think we should try down first." She told them.
Well, going to need some more input I think.
Kleora considered for a moment and then said, "We know there are people upstairs, I would rather not leave them behind us when we check the basement."
”Yeah, I think upstairs would be, well, not saaafer, but definitely more tactical. We can go down afterwards,” Neji agrees with Kleora.
"I do agree that the basement is a logical place to keep a prisoner," Freyr says. "But I also agree that dealing with our enemies first so the lady is not in danger is a better idea."
Frjya looked a little confused at Kleora and Neji. "But, aren't we already leaving people up stairs if we go down now?" She asked as she pointed at the door Freyr blocked.
"They didn't look like they were in any condition to break down that door." Taya answers Frjya.
Moving up the stairs you still hear the voice talking to it self though the door.
H15. Planning Room
An L-shaped table with many chairs takes up most of the floor space in this loft. A second smaller table sits near the entrance, and several windows look over the snowy grounds of the lodge. In the southwest corner, a large map hangs on the wall, opposite another door in the northeast wall.
Inside the room you find, a suprise... two frost covered skeletons looking at the door as it opens.
You also hear a disimbodied voice from the far side of the room.
"So, you have me trapped. Well someone is trapped. Get them my minions."
The party is in a narrow stairwell at the moment.

"More of the undead!" Tayanalla exclaims.
She points a finger at the one on the left and launches a glob of acid into its chest.
(touch attack)
"Fantastic," Freyr mutters. "Well, that explains where the undead from earlier came from." The warrior steps forward and swings at the skeletal monsters. His blow falls a bit short, only managing to take a chunk out of the floor as it swings through empty air.
Hearing of the threat of undead, Neji knows what she must do and will make her move to set herself up for a channel against them.
Seeing the undead Tayanalla unleashes another glob of acid, over the shoulder of Freyr at the skeletons. The acid hits the red skeleton and its bones sizzle. Freyr swings at the same attacker but cannot connect.

Frjya moved up to peek into the room, seeing both the skeletons and remembering that the power she had left was pretty much gone, she focused her attention to keeping her brother safe.
Hearing the commotion ahead, Maja quaffs her potion of protection from evil and draws the fine short sword she took off the dead bandit earlier in preparation for the fight.
Not able to get up the stairs and help with the fighting Kleora ended up waiting down below and watching their backs in case there were any unaccounted for guards that might come at them from behind until she could get space to head up and help.
With the party stuck on the stairs the skeletons attack with their claws
One of the claws rakes Freyr across the cheek drawing blood but Tayanalla is unscathed by their attacks. The disembodied voice continues to speak.
"Cold and held up by my skeletons. You will be great toys once your dead I guess, yes great toys."

Seeing the skeletons come and attack her new friends, Neji steels herself and raises her hands in the air once more, letting out a burst of positive energy, but this time, not one to heal, but to destroy the undead abominations!
Taya focuses and tries to cast a glob of acid back at the skeleton.
(touch)
Freyr winces as the claw rakes across his chest, but he ignores the pain and adjusts his stance to make another strike at the undead horror.
Neji's power batters the skeletons and one loses its animating force as it crumbles to the ground. The second takes some damgge but is still standing. Tayanalla's acid misses the mark thanks to its lack of flesh but Freyr quickly brings down the remaining skeleton.
The voice groans and then yells.
"Blast it.
The voice came from the other side of the table but you would be guessing if you attack based on sound.
You are not sure if his call for help was heard.

Maja moves up to the door hiding the voice's owner. "You're surrounded!" she shouts, raising her blade to strike a whomever walked through. "If you surrender, we won't have to kill you."
"Are we able to actually agree to that?" Frjya asked. "Well we aren't the law so... it isn't like we'd have to take him in for being a bandit correct?"
There is silence for a moment and then a bitter short laugh.
"Surrender or you kill me? You see what I have made, do I fear death."
Yes, yes he does fear death. Though that is not all he fears you are sure.

Freyr scoffs, not taking his eyes off the opponents in front of them. "Right. I haven't met many people who don't, and almost all of them were a bit off in the head."
"So, is he surrendering or?" Frjya asked a little bit confused. "I mean that would be the intelligent thing to do but few here have been intelligent...."
Kleora heard the man call for help but didn't head up the stairs. She instead stayed where she was and made sure her crossbow was ready to fire if she needed to fend someone off.
"Surrendering? No... no. Just waiting."
With that a gruff female voice is heard from below as well as quick moving steps. It is safe to bet that she will arrive soon.
"Coming boss. Hold them off."
Sadly the first voice is still invisible for a moment but only a moment. The voice turns out to be that of a large man, the leader of the bandits Rohkar Cindren.
He calls on the power of Norgorber as gestures at Freyr.

Taya uses an arcane pool to boost her speed and moves around to engage the spellcaster.
"Ooh! There he is!! Get him guys!" Neji yells out as the invisible man comes into view.
She takes out her light crossbow and fires at the man from the doorway!
Frjya snapped her head to see the man who had belonged to the voice. "Let's see if this will slow him down." She said before she held out her hand and snapped her fingers.
Freyr feels his limbs locking up as the spell caster turns his power against him. He struggles against the magic, attempting to resist the paralyzing spell, but he can't seem to free himself from the bandit chief's grasp.
Tayanalla enhances her speed as as Fryja cast a spell that fails to take hold in a spectacular fashion. Fortunatly Neji's bolt finds home and then some doing substantial damage to, what you know know is, the evil cleric.

Hearing that someone was coming and thinking it would be best to be out of sight and not trapped by them when they arrived Kleora moved so she was under cover and crouched behind a chair hoping it would help conceal her from the woman who was heeding the mage's call.
Kleora slips down the stairs silent as the night. As she finds a good position a half-orc female in her late 20's crosses the room grumbling to herself.
"Blasted guy is going to get my killed. Lets see what is going on, maybe its a good time for a new job."
Rohkar takes a step back from Tanalla and says a short prayer to Norgorber. As he finishes he points his finger Tanalla and a wave of fear washes over the Magus.
