Heroes move on into the Nine-Eaves.
Looming over the road like a wizened old man, this ancient manor of dark, splintery wood rises three stories tall. Several windows and small balconies jut from the manor irregularly, each under a sweeping eave of the building’s sharply pitched roof. A wide doorway stands in the front of the manor, with a greenhouse of grimy glass set against its side. The building exudes an air of gloom and age.
You are all in the first room
The weak light thrown by two dim lamps barely illuminates a vestibule with several coatracks, benches, and an iron umbrella stand. The wallpaper is stained with age and decorated with repeating patterns of snails. A heavy, dark wooden door exits to the south, while a sliding double door leads to the north.
Siiska opens the door and enters.
Siisak open the door to the first room described above and puts on a force of armor on herself. You all look around, no hidden items or enemies. The benches, coatracks and everything else is in very good condition.
Moving west towards the red couches.
[ooc]is this the son's place? Sorry I was too busy for shopping. Rali should probably buy *something*. Are we doing Automatic Bonus Progression?
Akku moves towards the red couches and they look fine to sit on.
the shoki psychopomp Kishokish is in trouble here, can't say any more cause of spoilers.
Ivan opens the door and looks upstairs, he hears something coming from around the corner up the stairs, the fluttering of wings and buzzing.
The sounds of flapping and buzzing are getting closer
Down comes 2 imps and 4 mosquito like creatures
enemies
Rali
Ivan
Akku
Justus
[ooc]Oh, I guess I am up first, I figured the odds would be so little of 4 of you losing to my enemies.
The tiny stirges will land on Ivan, they are tiny, so they actually fit in one square +7 to hit each
the imps will delay. All heroes are up
Ivan has two stirges attached to him and they will start to deal con damage at the end of the round.
All heroes are up
Ivan has two stirges attached to him, they will suck blood from him at the end of the round.
Akku attacks the stirges attached to Ivan!
Siiska follows her brother and attacks the other one!
Heroes make quick way of the stirges. Justus is up
Rali moves in and swings at an imp with his chained Kama.
alright, so we will say Justus goes after an imp with his axe
killing one, the other retailates at Justus
success
Rali then hits one good putting a few good cuts into its wings.
All heroes are up
Akku attacks!
Siiska too!
And Akku kills the imp. You search the area, but no treasure here.
After heroes defeat the stirges, the portrait comes to life and speaks.
“Well, well. Things aren’t as hopeless as I’d feared, then! Welcome to Nine-Eaves. The master of the manor, Kishokish, has been betrayed and captured. While I bear his appearance, I am little more than a host for his little parties and puzzles. Sahkils, wicked creatures that prey upon torment and fear, have invaded Nine-Eaves. Will you help?”
Good first clear out the place, then I'll help you solve the puzzles.
You don't up the stairs, in fact you go left
D3 Parlor
This large parlor has several padded chairs and an enormous sofa with upholstery so dark that it is barely visible in the dim room. A delicate wooden table with a distinct inlaid pattern bears a full decanter. Sliding doors lead out to the west, north, and east.
D4 Greenhouse
Grimy glass comprises the walls and ceiling of this large greenhouse, barely admitting the dim moonlight. Benches filled with live potted plants line the sides of the room; bags of soil and gardening equipment are stashed underneath. Some of the bags are open, spilling dirt across the greenhouse floor. Strange tracks, as if left by a large earthworm, crisscross the dirt. A sturdy iron-framed glass door leads out of this room to the west, while a sliding double door leads out to the east.
You encounter a canine stout with an Earthworm body
creature outsider
Siiska
Akku
Rali
Ivan
Justus New map is up, Akku and Ivan are up
Akku attacks!
Siiska and her brother work together into a flank!
However, Siiska, Akku and Ivan kill it. Actually Ivan doesn't kill it with that sonic resistance, he just barely ids it as Esipil Sahkil, but the rest of the pathfinders finish it off.
Actually it would have gone before Ivan finishes it off vs Siiska miss.
The heroes advance to the music room
Strains of harp music fill this room, emanating from a large harp placed on a six-foot diameter dais in the room’s southwest corner. Other musical instruments are mounted on the walls here, from large woodwinds to tiny fiddles. A few padded stools are scattered throughout the room.
Justus slowly walsk to the large harp to inspect it!
The instruments are beautiful and worth a lot Ivan plays beautifully.
Treasure one of the instruments is a "goblin fire drum" and plenty of instruments to be gold. Ivan does not get a mark up value though.
You all hear a dog barking from the other room.
Ivan plays wonderfully and he knows the dog is on the other side of the door, so happy to hear the music. Open the door if you dare.
Justus boldly opens the door, ready to face the monstrosity beyond.
The dog wags its tail and licks Ivan as he plays
He starts biting himself and yelps.
Readied attack:
Readied attack:
Akku knows abyssal and tells Ivan the rest of the crew. 6 giant fleas come out of the dogs fur. Siiska and Akku kill one each
The rest of you hit bringing down 2 and a half more of them.
flea and with the fleas being last in init, the rest of you defeat the rest.
Heroes go through the rest of the rooms.
Pantry: This small pantry has three doors, including one sturdy wooden door that leads outside the manor to the east. Sliding doors to the west and south have yellowed paper notices tacked to them. The shelves here contain a few bags and boxes. You loot the wine bootles for gold, added at the end.
Kitchen: A large cast-iron sink stands next to a potbelly stove, and counters around the room contain racks of knives, stacks of mismatched dishes, and piles of pots. A large pile of firewood near the stove has been tipped over, spilling old, worm-ridden wood across the floor. Doors lead out of this room to the north and south.
A boat like creature infested with worms attacks.
All heroes are up Slide 5 on the map, you may have to scroll down a little to see.
Siiska phase lurches through the couch and building wall and emerge on the other side of the creature, readying a flanking attack with Akku.
Akku approaches the creature and strikes!
Justus quickly calls upon his smite ability and attacks.
Justus hits the creature and it yelps in pain as he takes a good chunk out of it.
Akku slashes the creature but he doesn't penetrate it as well as he would like
Siiska hits the creature but doesn't penetrate it at all.
The creature lost a lot of the worms as they fall to the floor, but it is still living. Rest of the heroes are up
Ivan will swing his masterwork heavy mace but misses.
It will use a fear affect ability against you all Will save 15, or be forced to run away and be flat footed, last up to 1 minute
all heroes are up
Justus hits the thing well, but it is just barely standing.
Akku strikes!
Akku and Siiska though being neutral take the thing down.
They take a tablecloth in the room worth lots of gold
They approach the upstairs and thing talks to you again Well done. The library has a wasp swarm in it, and the study has a giant bug in it. I've noticed you going clockwise. I recommend you going counterclockwise so you can disable the trip up here first and into the dressing room. That way you can buff up and jump from combat to combat and save spell slots. Up to you really, but these hard combats well need buffs.
