Use only the first attack if I need to make more than a 5ft step to be able to attack the vine
Garret attacks the vine, wanting to free the fairy dragon.

Our Mysterious Benefactor |

Garret strikes the vine hard after moving toward it, and it quivers, but doesn't release the poor dragon! It seems to think a tasty tiny dragon is a delightful meal choice!
Ferabras!

Riddywhipple falls unconscious, dreaming of a happier time in the Sanos forest. A time before his pegasus friends met their grizzly fate.

Zora's hand flickers with a little ghost-pale light and she bends to touch Riddywhipple...
Rebuke Death healing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Mikail, meanwhile, suddenly appears, with a quick stab!
I took the liberty of moving Garret on the map to reflect that he was melee adjacent to attack. He is now flanking with Mikail
Mikail's stab from invisibility, with flank: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 11 + 2 + 2 = 35 Potential crit

Inflicting a -2/-4 on attacks

Our Mysterious Benefactor |

Mikail's very well-placed strike catches the vine in a vital nodule and it collapses, oozing green ichor. Riddywhipple rolls free of the thing just in time to take flight again, looking battered but alive due to Zora's timely intervention!
There's no treasure to be had from these guys, but the way inside is now open! I'll let you do some healing, then we'll move inside!

I think that only Riddy is hurt. Please speak up if you are, I have a LOT of channels and there's no need for anyone to blow their own resources. If only Riddy is hurt:
Empowered CMW, blessed touch: 2d8 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (3, 4) + 8 + 1 = 16 * 1.5 = 24 back to Riddywhipple. I'm happy to top him off with wand charges as needed, Kharnia, just let know how far down he still is.
Zora quickly tends to the small dragon, with a little smile. Mikail wipes his rapier keen of goop. "So, onward and inward?"
Since I was checking what Zora had cast today, just a reminder for Garrett that you have freedom of movement and will for likely the next hour

Riddywhipple comes to, his wounds closing slowly under the power of Pharasma's healing light. He trills excitedly as he jumps into Zora's arms. "Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!!!! I thought I was done and dead. Departed and deceased!"
He is still down 5 hp. I have a wand for that if you want.

Kharnia joins Zora and Riddywhipple and sighs with great relief when she comes to see that the fairy dragon is fine.
"Dragul, you need to use your own powers. I thought I had lost you, you silly lizard."
She chuckles as she looks around to locate, then pick up the dropped wand. "Slithering vines and angry orchards. I did not expect the dream world to be this way. Still, we have a house to explore, Doana Karrington to rescue, and an evil to defeat. Let's hurry, I'm thirsty and do not think they have any cider here."
She approaches the front door, an eye for trickery and traps.
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Fera is pleased to see that all of his companions have survived the encounter with the animated plants relatively unscathed, and concurs with his Varisian friend's assessment, "It is certainly not what I see in my dreams, Karnhia. And yes, let us hurry inside and be about our business." He moves along beside her, ready to protect her again.
Ready to move!

"I had this dream once about a dryad..." Garret starts and then stops "but that was not like this at all! Let's see what horrors await us in the house"

The door swings open, feeling a bit too welcoming for anyone's own good.
The low light of a single lantern reflects off the gleaming wooden floors and dark paneled walls of this foyer. The west wall incorporates an old stone facade that holds tall, stained-glass windows and carved double doors.
For the moment, the House is quiet.

Kharnia points at the foyer and nods to Riddywhipple. Without further ado, the fairy dragon peers on in cautiously.

Garret steps inside, after having checked for traps. He tries to move as silently as possible
Stealth: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25
Perception take 10: 10 + 14 = 24

Though he's not nearly so quiet about it, Ferabras moves into the house as well, heading for the door to the left. Eyes on Garret, Fera tips his head towards the door in silence, clearly saying, 'How about this way?'
He then waits for the sharp-eyed halfling and the clever kitsune to come take a closer look before he opens anything.

Posting for Mikail
Mikail slips nimbly into the room, his clever tongue quiet for the moment. He joins Fera at the left-hand door and gives it a careful look and listen.
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Our Mysterious Benefactor |

From the right most door comes the sound of rthymic clicking, whilethe left door betrays no sound. But before you can choose a door, the stained glass window seems to bulge and a stained glass spider crawls down!
No surprise round for the glass spider since you were all perceptioning!

Riddywhipple emits a startled "Eep" before going completely invisible.
Greater invisibility, AWAY!

Kharnia looks to the creature and give it the Evil Eye, muttering imprecations under her breath, before emitting a low cackle.
Evil Eye targets the creature's saves, DC 19 or it'll last 9 rounds/the rest of its life.

Our Mysterious Benefactor |

Karnhia's evilest of eyes seems to have no effect on the glass spider! Riddywhipple seems to have the better idea, as he disappears!
The glass spider slashes out at Ferabras and Garret!
Slam vs Ferabras: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31 for 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (5, 5) + 5 = 15 and 1d8 Bleed!

Mikail, Ferabras, Garret, Zora are up!

"Ahh!" Fera cries out as the spider's glass leg slices into him. "Another dream I have never had! What is it with this place?" He raises his blade and brings it down on the spider's hard, shiny surfaces, hoping to smash the thing to bits!
Full attack! Not sure if Zora's bless is still up - if it is, add +1 to the attack rolls below.

Mikail moves nimbly into a flank with Garret, calling out, "Stop cutting my buddies!" as he stabs at the massive, multihued glass spider!

Garret takes a deep breath and attempts to trip the spider, followed by ferocious kicks to the construct.
add 1 to attack rolls if bless is still active please

(Belatedly: yes, happy to use your wand on Riddywhipple, Kharnia)
now: (my bless is probably gone, it's just from a wand)
Zora frowns at watching the deep injuries sustained by her friends. Again she traces a spiral in the air, and life-giving energy pours forth.
Channel, excluding spider: 6d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 5, 5, 3, 4, 3) + 1 = 27

Our Mysterious Benefactor |

Ferabras' first swing and Mikail's hit, smash into the spider, knocking a few pieces of glass off it. Garret tries to trip it, but it has too many legs to allow him to easily sweep its legs. Zora channels, healing the bleeding fighters!
Round 2:
Karnhia
Glass Spider
Mikail, Ferabras, Garret, Zora

Riddywhipple, safe and invisible, uses the wand of magic missile to destroy the spider!

Kharnia pauses. This should have worked. With a frown she gives the creature a more thorough look.
What knowledge check is it to identify the bug?

Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19

*Sigh* How damaged does it look? Only thing I've got is a well-timed Haste.
"Another golem" she spits in disgust.
Shoulda prepared for things like that; oh well, if I live, I'll remedy that.

Kharnia's hand shifts from the pouch containing the poisoned bullets to the pouch containing the regular ones in their alchemical cartridges.
Ka-pow! (vs touch): 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 1 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 1 = 10
The gunpowder cracks, and a bullet lodges itself in one of the golem's many eyes.

Our Mysterious Benefactor |

The magic missile hits the spider, and reverses, striking the faerie dragon instead! The bullet shatters its eye!
The spider makes no sign of pain but slashes at Ferabras and Garret!

Garret does not bother with trying to trip the thing and punches it two times, followed by a low kick.

Zora determines that her allies need more help in striking true than in healing just yet, so she calls forth another Generically Godly Blessing...
Bless up on party again from the wand
Mikail grins at Garret from across the monster, and stabs!

Though his wound bleeds badly, Fera slashes and bites at the great spider! The blood running down his arm affects his grip, however, and his strikes are weak and poorly aimed.

The glass spider shatters in places as Garret and MIkail assault it. It looks like a good hit would break it for good!
Ferabras! Finish him!

Our Mysterious Benefactor |

The bite is indeed the stroke that finished the glass spider! It shatters into shards and clatters across the floor! There's a moment of calm, but nothing seems to leap out to break it!
There are doors out of the room on every side!

Kharnia huffs in frustration, but approaches the door to her left. "Let us see if anyone living actually resides here."
Perception vs Bad surprises: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Riddywhipple Perception vs Badder surprises: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36
In her frustration, Kharnia only give the door the most cursory of looks. However, Riddywhipple has his eyes peeled.

Ferabras pulls a sharp sliver of glass from where it is wedged between his teeth, runs a red tongue along his black gums to be sure there aren't more bits in there, then spits a couple of times for good measure. "Ouch, that thing was mean," he says as he looks at the bleeding wound in his shoulder.
He waits a moment to be sure everyone is properly healed, then continues with his sinister plan, joining Karnhia at the door to the left and waiting to see if they spot anything out of the ordinary before opening it.
It looks like at least Fera and Garret are hurt. I can heal myself with the wand, unless Zora wants to do some healing.

Garret's blood drips on the floor from his wound "Can someone heal me with my wand? This is a nasty wound that still hurts"
Bleed: 1d8 ⇒ 1
CLW: 5d8 + 5 ⇒ (7, 7, 3, 3, 2) + 5 = 27

Hang on to those wand charges, guys. Zora does not do much direct battle badassery, but she heals like a mofo. You have no reason to need to spend wand charges after any fight if Zora's in the party... well, probably. Hopefully I didn't jinx us with that.
Channel heal: 6d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 2, 6, 2, 5, 1) + 1 = 20 [ooc]If anyone is still down let me know, that should get Ferabras full if his stat line is accurate and I think Garret was down less than 20.
Zora traces another spiral in the air in a familiar gesture, healing her friends, denying succor to the shattered spider. "Is everyone well enough?"
Mikail bounces on his toes. "Never better!"

Our Mysterious Benefactor |

Despite Riddywhipple's heightened senses, he can hear nothing from the left hand door.
The left hand door opens onto a large parlor room. This richly furnished game room holds a billiard table and three plush chairs. Several instruments, including a curled horn, nine-stringed lute, and a harp, crowd the northwest corner near a door leading west. A large oil painting of a handsome man leaning on a cluttered mantle hangs askew on the south wall.

The portrait doesn't seem to display anyone you'd recognize. It just seems like a portrait. Until it starts talking.
"Have you come to return my book, then?" The man sneers down at you from the painting.

Do we know what book it is talking about? Is it the book we used to get here? Do we have it with us? I'm sorry, I should probably start taking notes for my character's IC knowledge.
