Hold! Do not move that dress. It if fragile and the slightest move will destroy it. We can either take the chest back or if one of you spellslingers can fix it....

let's check everything?

Ok let's go hit those other small buildings then.

Muna casts mending on the dress. "It's so pretty!"

Muna's cantrip preserves the ancient dress well enough for transport.

Which courtyard do you want to check first? East or west?

Which courtyard do you want to check first? East or west?

Weast?

Let's go this way... west

Kaleless checks the western courtyard.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

The western side of the estate forms an L-shaped yard mostly given to sand, sun-dried earth, and the ancient husks of dead trees. Stone benches line the walls of the yard, and a large tiled pool sits in the southwest corner, dried and partially filled with sand. A short flight of steps leads between a pair of pillars to a set of stone doors in the west side of the house. At the north end of the yard stands a squat stone building with columns at every corner.

From the dust of the dried-up pool, rises a truly immense centipede. It wastes no time and moves to attack.

Kaleless tries to tumble past the creature's bite.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Rathh growls and lumbers toward the massive insect, panting as he moves.

The centipede hisses and lashes out at Kaleless and Patros.

thanks, I missed that

Like a lumbering bull, Rathh charges toward the centipede and lets his mace fall heavily toward it.

MW Heavy Mace (Silver, charge): 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 2 = 211d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Muna stares at the centipede, hoping to give it the willies.

Evil Eye, -2 AC. Guessing it's dead already anyway.

They party's combined assault overwhelms the centipede, and it collapses back into the dried-up pool.

----Combat Over----

Kaleless sheaths his kukri and looks around anything of value.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Patros scans the room with Kaleless.

perc: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Rathh also looks around after he catches his breath.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

If there is nothing else of interest in the courtyard, Muna approaches the building at the far end.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Laureglyn looks around, not expecting to see anything the others missed.

perc: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Searching the courtyard yields nothing but sand and centipede goo.

A rectangular stone building sits in the northwest corner of the estate. At each corner stand columns carved to resemble men and women with their arms crossed over their chests. A set of stone doors stands in the southern face of the building, carved with bas-relief faces of two men. Hieroglyphs are carved into the doors just beneath the faces.

Xanac tries to puzzle out the heiroglyphs.

Linguistics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

"Shall we investigate this out-building?" Rathh asks as he wanders over to the double doors.

Muna looks at the columns and tries to imitate the pose of one of the depicted women. She wonders who they might have been.

knowledge (history): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Neither Xanac nor Muna can glean anything from the buildings exterior. The door however seems to be unlocked, albeit heavy.

Kaleless, you sure this is safe to open? If the rhief gives his nessi g, Patros will open the door.

"I'll check"

Kaleless searches the door for dangers.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

On top of being unlocked, Kaleless finds no traps either.

Good work, Kaless. Patros opens the door, blade ready for any trouble. He enters the room carefully.

Muna follows Patros in and has a look around.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

"Thanks.." Kaleless replies dryly and looks into the room too.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Laureglyn waits til the door is clear , then also moves in and looks around...

perc: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

He notices one of his boots is scuffed and takes a moment to bend down and buff it out with his fingers.

Xanac follows Kaleless in his search.

aid Kaleless's Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Someone give Kaleless one more aid, and there won't be much that escapes our notice.

aidperc: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

After a few false starts, you manage to force the heavy stone doors open and find a stair leading down into darkness.

A few light spells later...

An earthy scent fills this large chamber at the foot of the stairs. The ceiling and walls are tiled with stone, but the ground is bare earth. Stone benches are set against the east and west walls, and torch holders are mounted in the corners and on either side of a wide doorway to the west. The beginnings of several shallow, rough passages have been started along the eastern wall and in the southwest corner, but the excavations are incomplete, ending in earth and rubble after only a few feet. At the north end of the room, a flight of steps descends further into darkness.

Your vigilance pays off, and you manage to foil an ambush in the unfinished crypt. A pallid humanoid creature wrapped in wispy strips of skin, with bits of detritus and a sour stink clinging to it awaits your entry into the room.

"Look out!" Rathh exclaims, for once acting first.

With nothing else he can do, Rathh casts bless on the group.

Its ambush failed, the rag-covered creature takes a swing at Patros from around the corner before retreating into the room.

Xanac tries his crossbow.

I forgot to mention reloading after the last fight, but I think it's reasonable to assume I did.

With few spells prepared that could affect this creature, Rathh casts guidance on Patros, then moves forward cautiously.
