Vraxel a static position here at the memorial might be useful, but who knows when this nere do well will strike again. Is there no way for you to find the villain's tracks and lead us back to his lair?

You are correct in your statement. How long do you hide and wait and who hides and waits (hours/days) etc.?
I will wait/hide for 2 days.
What's your take 20 for stealth?
You camp out there the entire two days?
Anyone else going to hide out with him?
Vraxel, I'm afraid I'm not much good for hiding. None the less I will wait with you during the nights if you wish it. I feel during the days we will better served in me helping Randtam researching the last of the five prisoners. What would you like me to do?
I am good at this and can go it alone, the rest of you can make better use of the time.
Take 20 = 34.
I'll wait for Randtam and Uuranx and then advance.
I shall study. I trust Vraxel knows what he is doing. If he felt he needed us I hope he would be "halfling" enough to admit it.
I will look for tracks by Iomadae's blessing.

Although you conduct a thorough and keen search, the tracks are too muddled by the efforts of the sheriff and his deputies to make out anything useful.

As you wish it Vraxel. You know your strengths best. I will remain at the Lorrimar's house and study with Randtam during the day to unlock the secrets of the last prisoner.
Nothing of note happens the evening of the 10th night after the funeral.
Uuranx make a research roll please.
Once I get that I'll move to day 11.
The Lopper (Vance Saetressle): When the Lopper
stalked prey, he would hide in the most unlikely of places,
sometimes for days upon end with only a few supplies to
keep him going while he waited for the exact right moment
to strike. Once his target was alone, the Lopper would
emerge to savagely behead his victim with a handaxe.
Day 12...
Randtam, is there any use we can make of this spirit planchette? I assume the siphons will see use should we encounter any spirits during our travels, but why would the Professor leave us this device?
I pass on the information to the party.
I will remain in place for day 2 of the stakeout.
Day 12
What does everyone else do whilst Vraxel stakes out the monument?
I think about why the Professor wanted us to have this device......
I believe spirits are in the prison and this is one of the reasons we were given this. My Understanding is that we can also use the planchette to communicate with the dead. Perhaps Lorrimar had an intuition that he may be killed, maybe he wants us to communicate with him. Maybe we need to communicate with the Warden's wife? Her name might be the one being spelled out. I shall continue to think on this.
I shall pray to Iomadae for insight and guidance...
I shall extend my stakeout another night.
Maybe we should get the planchette appraised?
I try first
[b]Oops I meant the wooden case. But I still wish to study the symbol on the case. I was hoping my lawful good friends would have known something....?[/bold]
I think we need to come up with a question each day to ask Lorrimar using the spirit planchette.
Question: Was the Whispering Way responsible for your death?
I will follow being stealthy as possible.

You think the case is worth about 50GP.

Yes

DM screen:Vraxel:Neither the deputies nor the figure appear to notice your movements. The figure slinks across a small field and towards a shack near the road that leads to the ruins of Harrowstone. The road also leads back to the Lorrimor's place as well as the home of councilwoman Marta Starlock. As the figure slinks across the field, your view of it is spoiled by a small copse of trees. When you look again, the figure is gone...

Question: Was the Whispering Way responsible for your death?
The planchette slides over to "Yes"
Uuranex and Alamin: while.Vraxel is out, what are some possible yes/no questions I can ask the Professor's spirit to help us gain information to find his killers?
did you know your murderer?
was he a town member?
are town members involved?
that's all I could think of right now...
Keep eyes and ears out for any sign of the figure. If that doesn't work I will try to track.
Return to Kendra's home, being stealthy and watching my back.
Vraxel-You make it back to the Lorrimor's house with no further event.
"Friends I saw a figure near the monument. The figure was probaly scared off by the sheriff's men and it slinked across a small field and towards a shack near the road that leads to the ruins of Harrowstone. The road also leads back to this home as well as the home of councilwoman Marta Starlock. I lost the figure as it slinked across the field, and my view of it is spoiled by a small copse of trees. I looked for the figure as well as tracks but was unable to find any."
When do I ask the next assinine question?
I ask....
You can ask one question per day.
You can ask your next question the following the day (13).
ooh, that was a good one.
Tell me when Day 13 starts. I reread the professor's notes hoping it may grant me insight and help with my questioning.

Maybe tomorrow we can go investigate to see if there are tracks to follow that the sun can reveal?
Does anyone else hear that?

"Alamin, I hear something too, sounds like its coming from the front door."
I draw my blade, move to the front door and open it.
The stench of the grave washes over you as a swarm of skeletons and zombies attempt to storm through the door, led by the zombified corpse of Professor Lorrimor!
