Pular moves forward as well, gratefully sinking into the shadows of the place. She also looks around for any signs of life, but not just human. She looks for signs of rats, mice or any other rodent whom she may speak with and gain information.

Arian gives Viridi a nod, then falls easily into position just a little behind and to the left of Nasir, with her blade out and in a guarded position.
Fulk looks around quietly, but doesn’t see anything more than Pular.
Viridi takes a look around, her expression quite somber as she takes in the monastery.
"I wonder what this place was like when it was intact..."

Everyone is basically outside the church then? The smallest windows are about 5 feet wide, but so dirty as to be basically unusable.
Inching his way to the northern most entrance, Nasir peeks in from behind the north pillar to see if he can see anything inside the monastery.
As you move into the church, you can see North into the main Chapel. A short set of wide ceremonial steps leads down to a cavernous chapel in which the congregants would gather for sermons in happier times. The vibrant orange and red starburst of Sarenrae still stands behind a film of rusted rainwater and dirt along the north wall overlooking the collapsed altar. Between the stairs and the altar stand dozens of old marble benches, many overturned and even more broken into two or more pieces.
A wide walkway bisects the pews, leading directly to the raised altar. Here and there a few clumps of the original red carpet along this thoroughfare hang on against rot and neglect.
Above the center of the chapel, dangling about ten feet from the floor, hangs a cluster of gnoll skulls in various stages of decay. Strung together like a ghoulish candelabra of twine and bone, the boulder-sized ornament hangs from the wooden rafters about twenty feet above the ground.
Arian points briefly at the skulls with her polearm, wordlessly, and cocks her head to one side as if to indicate surprise that someone else has been hunting gnolls. Then she points to the west and raises a cupped hand, like a question mark, once Nasir looks her way.
Viridi takes a look around, then shrugs and starts walking to the west, where Arian pointed.
Nasir whispers to Shiiru behind him, ”Something that can kill gnolls, either a friend or an enemy, but has to be dangerous. Be on guard. I’ll draw whatever it is out.
”Should we all move in together? If we do I will certainly attract the attention of whatever is in their.
Upon seeing Viridi walk straight in to the monastery Nasir will walk in as well. Knowing that he is useless at sneaking, Nasir pauses a moment to allow everyone else to hide themselves before walking in to middle of the monastery.
Nasir will heft his greataxe in both hands ready to fight whatever comes out.
Pular continues to hide in the shadows. She quietly draws her dagger as she moves further into the building.
Init:
As you enter this area of the church the feeling of dread some of you felt whilst Pugwampi hunting falls over you again. [ooc]The dread aura is in effect, all D20 rolls are now "roll twice, take the lowest".
Shiiru looks up and sees the patter of feet above him. He aims and begins to speak, clear and concise, "Vausee srentsa dzaalhve." A blue ray shoots from his hand into the cloth above.

Pular keeps to the shadows and looks around, trying to pinpoint where the feeling of dread is coming from.

”Where is it Shiiru?!” Nasir shouts as he watches Shiiru fire a ray toward what he assumes is a Pugwampis based on the feeling.
Arian likewise glances about, checking to see if the abominable little creature is hiding behind an altar, a pew, in a rafter or some other nook.
Fulk sees the patter of tiny feet despite the rising dread, and attempts to deal with the creature.
His arrow, unfortunately, goes wide.
Shiiru's ray elicits a squeal of cold from above the netting.
Viridi notices what Shiiru and Fulk are firing at, and braces herself for trouble.
[/dice]
Half a dozen small arrows fly down from the rafters to the sound of gleeful giggling. Aimed at Shiiru and Faulk, most miss, and the ones that are on target fail to do any damage.
Shiiru takes aim again, firing up into the rafters.
Shiiru manages again to aim true despite the difficulty seeing the target. A small creature drops from the rafters to thund onto the floor.
Pular sees the small creature fall from the rafters and looks for a way to climb up to where the enemy is hiding.
