Works for me. Plus it is not like we really have any other place to go unless we want to strike out on our own. Trevor will help get the body from the room they woke up in.
”Well, you folks at least want to tell us what happened here? Place is a mess,” Domeric asked the guards.
You're in Briarstone Asylum near Thrushmoor, thats as much as I'll tell you until you can prove your worth
”How about our best climber goes down and ties a rope off on the body? The rest of us will pull it up and then we can show this lot we aren’t here to hurt them.”
I don't care how you get them, 4 Doppleganger bodies before I let you pass
"I can go." The small man speaks from the back of the group. "The climb was not difficult."
I can climb good plus we got rope(with soap!)
From 30 feet of the men, Chakam tries to detect evil. He limits himself to agree with his companions idea of trying to grab the doppelgänger they previously killed, but yet he’s not fully convinced they’re not in the presence of other monsters.
[i]None of the guards or the guard captain detect as evil. There is a sense of evil coming from the room just above (C9).
What are you doing now?
Trevor helps retrieve the doppleganger body to show to the guards. Here is one!
Atajay waits for the others to return with the body, to gauge the reaction of the other group to seeeing a corpse of one of the doppelgängers.
Akukho huffs and puffs, completely unnecessarily, as they retrieve the body.
"Where now? He asks quietly.
That's one, we want 3 more
There is this door to the west of Akukho, let us go through there.
”We will be back with more bodies. Don’t try to backtrack on your deal once we deal with these doppelgängers.”
Chakam points up.
I don’t feel evil from these men, my friends. - he says - But there’s evil right above us. We should proceed with caution, and Saranrae shall illuminate our path.
The Paladin then takes point, weapon in front of him, ready to proceed with their escape.
Trevor follows behind
Domeric follows behind as well.
Akukho follows as well, glad that someone seems to know what is going on at least.
The door opens into a small room. Mighty iron boilers crowd here, their pipes piercing the walls and ceiling. Shadows and rust fill the narrow gaps between the cold tanks
Trevor looks around to see if there is anymore shapechanging nasties lurking around.
The inquisitor hangs back, not wanting to crowd the others as they begin the inspection of the room. He peeks in as good as he can see.
Perception
Perception:
Chakam seems yet even less observant than the others, despite him trying to pay attention. However, he mutters holy words and concentrates to feel if they're in the presence of evil.
You notice a faint glow coming from beneath one of the boilers. The boilers themselves are all cool. You can also hear a faint squeaking. There is evil coming from beneath the boiler.
Squeaking? Rats!
The squeaking sounds very much like rats
I'm not in the mood for roast rat just yet. This place looks empty.
"Indeed, we should move on," Domeric stated.
Where do you want to go next?
Trevor leads the group to B10
This room appears to have once been a storage room. It appears to have once held spare linens and cleaning supplies on wall mounted racks. It appears though that several of the racks have fallen off the wall and the rest appear to have been looted. What remains reeks of chlorine and are heaped with fallen shelves and broken containers.
To the north then.
Atajay will conduct a quick sweep of the room for anything else of interest.
Perception
Domeric looks around as well, casting Detect Magic.
Perception:
Atajay and Domeric you see beneath one of the racks some mundane items such as manacles and blankets, however there does seem to be something moving beneath them
Atajay points out the movement to the rest of the group, staying back far enough to allow the strong warriors first strike, if it comes to it.
”Looks like we got company,” Domeric muttered, gesturing towards the movement before drawing his weapons.
Trevor pulls out his hammer. Give it a prod? If the consensus is yes, he pokes the blanket.
As you prod the blanket 2 giant centipedes come forth - you all get an attack of opportunity.
Trevor mashes!
Domeric imbues his starknives with arcane power and attacks the nearest centipede.
Attack:
Damage(With arcane strike):
Trevor and Domeric you both miss I'm afraid.
Anyone else?
Atajay pulls his bow. If he can find a clean line, he fires at one of them.
Attack with PBS and Precise Shot
Damage
Chakam moves and tries to attack the closest centipede. He will try to flank if possible.
Atajay you miss.
Chakam you hit the centipede and pulverise it.
Do you want to take a surprise round action Akukho.
Initiative Order
Trevor 25
Atajay 23
Chakam 20
Akukho 15
Giant Centipede 14
Domeric 8
Trevor your action.
Trevor tries to get a better grip on his weapon and smashes!
Trevor pulverises the final centipede into mush.
Among the debris you find a lantern, a hammer, five winter blankets, 10 feet of chain, a set of manacles and a tarnished silver necklace worth 5gp.
