Harlod whips around, crossbow sliding easily into hand. Approching a window of the house he peers in, wondering what has gone amiss.
"Shush you crazy ass.. There could merknerks in here.." Val helps search around once there inside..
Ophelia opts to wait outside until someone gives the all clear. Her perception/recon skills have always been left much to be desired. The elf recalls the one time she thought she lost her spellbook and spent hours searching the city for it, only to find that she had been carrying under her arm the whole time.
Val will cast detect magic before stealthing in..
... only to find that she had been carrying under her arm the whole time.
"Common Anevia, just open the door!"
You hear the silence stretch on for what seems like forever until suddenly a hawk appears right behind Anevia. The creature attempts to slice at her with its talons.
The hawk is able to cut Anevia deeply. She cries out in pain and everyone rushes to react.
AC 14, touch 13, flat-footed 12
The hawk once again tries to tear up Anevia.
It scores one hit on the wounded adventurer.
Halara moves in, trying to protect Anevia by drawing Attacks from the creature. She tries to move through the eagle's square, ending up at the end of the hallway.
Hearing the cry of pain, Harlod shoots out the window, stepping through into the house.

Val steps over a bit and enhances her weapon as a swift and attempts to attack twice using arcane mark..
vs DC 15
Nerevost is going to open the door if it's currently closed and take a shot at the bird.

Despite her initial hesitance to go inside, Ophelia's good nature eventually wins out after the elf hears Anevia scream in pain. Without missing a beat, Ophelia quickly heads in through the door.
Upon seeing the creature trying to hurt the injured woman, Ophelia wastes no time in throwing a blog of acid at it.
The hawk that was there dies from the arrow that Neversot fired. It disappears in a puff of smoke. Anevia breaths a sigh of relief, but before she can do much more than put her bow away and pull out her sword another hawk appears and strikes at her.
The hawk is unfortunately unable to hit Anevia now that she has her sword out.
AC 14, touch 13, flat-footed 12
Hawk 2: 3 damage
Thorst runs into the house when he hears the signs of struggle and the bird. When it disappears in a puff he assumes that someone else is sending these birds to attack them so he runs upstairs.
Val attempts to chop twice at the new threat.. Seeing the other go up in smoke she realizes these are summoned creatures.. "There's a summoner around here somewhere.."
vs DC 15
Neversot's two arrows slay the bird and this one also disappears in a puff of smoke.
Thorst rushes upstairs, but he doesn't see anything there.
Val will move to search the rooms below.. The summoner must have line of sight to place the birds so it must be close.. She'll cast detect magic as well...
Ophelia carefully moves past Anevia and intently listens for any noise coming from upstairs.
"Nothing up here." he calls down before returning downstairs to check the rest of the house.
"Thorst says that upstairs is clear," Ophelia relays to the others.
Harlod moves in and heals the eagle wounds on Anevia.
Since Harlod is healing Anevia, Halara moves outside to protect Avarshinial and Natasha (yes, Horgus is out of her intentions). She keeps watch while the others search the place.
None can seem to hear or see anything out of the ordinary. In fact you all remember that the birds seemed to appear out of nowhere with no sound before their arrival.
We detect Magic on the whole house, given time.
"Anevia, do we miss anything? Do you know what were they after?"
With a handwave, Harlod begins detecting magic as well.
Ophelia will start using Detect Magic as well.
Nerevost is just holding a readied action to shoot at the next hostile target to appear.

Not to be left out, Thorst will start detecting magic as well.
Oh wait...
From Harold and Opelhia I will need to know the direction that you are casting detect magic in.
You cannot detect any magic in this room.
Anevia thanks Harold for his healing and also readies her rapier in case something appears. Avarshinal begins muttering a summoning spell. The room remains quiet for this round.
Round 3
"There must be someone invisible here!"
"Well if all they can do is summon whimpy eagles than they are of no worry to us anyhow.. Anevia were you looking for anything particular here or should we head to the a!%*$%@s place?"
Reasoning that the odds of an invisible entity standing right in front of her are low (one of her companions did just travel upstairs without any problem), Ophelia aims her Detect Magic at the door to her northwest, opening it if possible.
Harlod continues sweeping the house for magic.
You don't detect any magic in your cone's area.
You do detect magic in your cone's area. You cannot ell in which square it is in this round but you will in the next as long as you focus on detecting for magic.
Another bird will appear next to Anevia but several people will lash out at it. One being Anevia herself.
Anevia's attack will not hit the bird.
AC 14, touch 13, flat-footed 12
Harlod ignores the fluttering bird, focusing down on the aura's he detects while raising his crossbow slightly to reload it.
Halara is outside protecting the other two ladies and the elf.
Thorst comes back in to see what the commotion is about and sees another bird trying to attack Anevia. Without even pausing to even bring his weapon up (which is rather too big to comfortably skewer a bird with anyway) he punches it.
The bird remains and begins to attack Anevia again.
The bite connects and draws more blood from Anevia.
AC 14, touch 13, flat-footed 12
You detect conjuration magic coming from the square of the bird, divination magic from Opehila's square, and illusion magic from the square right next to her.
Harlod cries out, Ware Opehila! and gestures with his hand to create water in the square where he detect illusion magicks! I believe I've found our summoner!
As the water pours down, Ophelia quickly hops back with a surprised "Eep!" While a bit fearful of nearly running into the enemy, the elf instinctively falls back on decades of training. She swiftly recalls the best way to fight an invisible foe and throws a burst of Glitterdust in the same direction.
