During the water elemental dicuss Aaron states, "Let's not forget the lessons we learned in the Knot. Those elementals have been stuck here as long if not longer then the creatures who were in the Knot and while I have no idea if an elemental can lose it's mind I'd prefer to be very careful if we do release them. And I actually agree with Kragar I just don't want it to be our deaths instead of theirs." The putrid water elementals vortex attack still very fresh in his mind.
In the Council Chamber Aaron studies the mural of the night sky to see if it's accurate.
Aya turns to the group, "This chamber looks a little too unassuming. Someone want to check for traps before we start walking around?"

The mural does seem to mimic the night sky, but the orientation is not current for the time of year.
Actually instead of asking david i ask Karza if she sees any magic or anything else out of the ordinary... i am of course more then happy to have david check as well.

When you address her she snaps out of her mubbling haze, "Nothing...I see unusual here. The council chamber was always so peaceful..."
Aya tells the group, "Thinks appear to be safe for now. This room appears to be just a room. Shall we explore a little?"
Aya enters and walks up to the table staring at the lantern.
Perception: 3d6+12
It is a fairly nice lantern. The flames glow about as brightly as you would expect. As you get closer you realize they don't give off any heat.
I sit in one of the chairs and look around... perception
If nothing catches my eye i will look around from upstairs...

Nothing stands out really. You climb the sweeping staircase to an upper level balcony that looks down into the chamber. On this floor is another set of double doors heading back north. The balcony allows you to walk most of the perimeter of the room and look down into the council chambers.
I will open the door that heads north on the second floor.

The double doors open onto an outdoor balcony. 30 feet from the door is a old rope bridge suspended over the inner courtyard. The balcony narrows to 10 feet wide and continues east and west. There are six normal doors along this narrower walk.
"There are more doors up here we should explore them!" I shout down to Aya and the group.
I will ask Karza if she sees anything odd of magical and will slow rotate so she can see all the doors. Once everyone comes up i will open the closest door.

Aya goes upstairs to see what Alcibades is checking out.
PERCEIVE! - 3d6+12
You are on a covered outdoor balcony. A rope bridge leads north over the enclosed courtyard. There are six doors along the balcony walk. 3 on the east end 3 on the west.
Alcibades in the first door you find a bedroom like those on the second floor of the northern building, It has a bed, a desk and a chair. An unlocked chest lies empty on its side on the floor. A single piece small of wood lies on the floor.
"Alcibades, I'll check the bedrooms on the other side," Aya says as she continues to the set of 3 on the other side.
Perception Bedroom 1 - 3d6+12
In the final room you find the furniture (which is all carved in a plant motif) and a pumpkin.
I'll do a quick search of the rooms on my side.

I intend to take the marionette. First i closesly inspect it... i am prepared encase it is alive. If nothing seems strange i will take it and go back to the group and report what i saw.
OOC: I am sorta confused on layout. Are there any places on the 1st floor that we clearly haven't gone?

No. Unless there are some sort of secret rooms you havn't found.
LayoutwiseThere are two buildings. You entered the large northern building and have been slowly moving south. The second building is basically one big room on the lower floor which is mostly open to an indoor balcony level. The door on the second floor leads to an outdoor balcony that runs allong these 6 rooms you have just explored. It also has the bridge connecting the 2nd level of the two buildings.

Ok provided there are no secret doors are we done exploring the second floor as well?
Also, I don't know if this works but i have been through most of the 1st and 2nd floor and have seen a lot of the building from the outside. I would like to try to guage if there is an area that we haven't covered (meaning does it seems like there should be another room that we haven't been to base on the interior v exterior dimensions).

It would seem you are done with exploration of the second floor. Based on the exterior and what you ahve seen of the interior there do not seem to be any areas of the building you have not gotten into.
Alright everyone i think it is time for the basement. We should keep an eye out for those dang toys!
Is there anything anyone needs to do to get ready?
I feel that the hard part is coming. If anyone needs rest or needs to buy something or ready there weapons now is the time.
Kragar crushes the marionette, just to be safe, after encountering enough sentient toys for one lifetime.

Aya eyes the pumpkin suspiciously and leaves to rejoin the group. She reports back of the cracked crystal and pumpkin findings. If the group is ready to proceed, Aya agrees but warns that we may want to take some precautionary measures such as readying holy water or wearing our garlic (if it's not already on us). Also casting buffs would be a good plan.
I begin (hopefully with the rest of the grou) to head to the basement entrance that we attempted to seal off. I will keep an eye out for the 'Toys'.
Perception:
I assume the first circle of protection Aya cast is still working (it is 10 min/level).
"Aya, before we go down I suggest you cast a circle of protection evil on yourself or david. That way the people that are in melee range can stay close to krug and the back ranks can stay near you or david. Then we should get moving encase there is a vampire."

Yes I would assume it has at least another 20-30 minutes given the pace at which the party has been exploring and investigating. I assume Kreagar is Garlic'ed up. We can assume you make your way to the door which leads down. Nothing leaps out at you or tries to kill you as you proceed there.
Alcibades, there is no sign of the toys, but you do notice one of the privies is opened. you distinctly remember Aaron closing it.
Kragar stuffs his wand, potion of animal growth, and potion of enlarge person in his belt, and gets ready to smash something.
I start clearing the crap away from the cellar door. Once that is done i will proceed down. Once i get near the bottom i will look, listen, and then detect gollems.

Aaron collects up pieces of broken furniture and makes six wooden stakes. He also briefly checks for tracks from the toys starting at the door.

The trail is hard to follow but yes it was the dolls. They appear to have climbed down the privies.

You enter the basement with the rest of the party at your back. The stairs leading down are 10 feet wide. The basement is pitch black . Do we have any light-sources already or do you need to light some up?
Aaron actives the Light spell on his sash, and looks around.

The 10' wide staircase leads down 60 feet. The 10 foot wide hall continues forward into the darkness. Near the edge of the light (30 feet from the bottom of the stairs) you can see there is a 4 way intersection. 5 feet from the bottom of the stairs on the north wall is a single door.
At the bottom of the stairs i detect golems. I also get out one of the continual light gems.

I catiously make my way towards the intersection and look both ways. I guess at this point it makes sense to ensure Aya is near the front in order to make use of her low light vision.

You look down the north hall. It opens into a room about 25 feet from the intersection. You can make out a long wooden table or desk of some kind.
The southern hallway ends after 25 feet and you can see a door on the west wall of this hallway.
Kragar moves up and searches the doors.

You walk through the intersection past Alcibades and head over to the double doors. They seem safe, and unlocked. You glance around for a moment an realize the hallway opens up into a chamber. To the north on an upraised stage, gold, green and magenta mosaic tiles form an intricate glyph on the floor of this half circle chamber of a road vanishing onoto the horizon. The battered and blasted remains of a stone statue that may have once depicted a human adventurer lie scattered throughout the lower souther half of the room.
The room is about 20 feet wide and goes to the north for about 25 feet. The back of the room is semicircular. 15 feet into the chamber there are two 5 by 5 alcoves. one east and one west.

Kragar motions the others forward, steering clear of any of the glyphs for now. "Is this statue the same guy we were looking for before?"
Kragar ponders smashing up the glyphs, and is wary of any tricks at this point.
