Any kind of healing on me would be great.

good job rallying around the in danger comrade and putting the danger to rest; Sylas says

after healing where to next?

Checking in! Check the room or move?

The poppet holds the top of his head and pushes against the side briefly. He wobbles his head then nods. "Alright, I feel better now. Thanks Rola!"

Hearing Zola, he walks up to the dwarf, holding a hand briefly. "This should make you feel better Zano," Sparky says, then commences to chant about a sacred fire as his hands wave in the air.

Cast Heal (as three-actions). Heals everybody within 30' emanation.

Healing: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

He looks at the fireplace again and the long wooden table. "Is this a dining room? Or a...parlor? We can get some wood and start a fire to warm up the place. And Rola, are there any family legends about occult dealings?"

occult roll or society to remember things from anyone!

occult: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

society: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Sylas scratches his head about what Sparky says...

occult: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Sparky doesn't have either skill :(

occultism: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Unfortunately nothing directly comes to mind. You do know that this is an old Cheliax manor from the old devil days. Family members die and deeds are pasted. You are not sure how, but you ended up with it.

What next?

Sparky tries to open the door. "Maybe this is an office?" he asks, not expecting an answer.

Token moved on map

Sylas will move up and say be careful my little friend, allow me and Sylas will step into the room.

Zano stands outside office and waits.

Map

The tiled floor of this room is dusty and spotted with patches of mold. To the north sits a large bathing tub, while to the south sits a smaller washtub for linens and clothes. Next to that is a partially collapsed laundry basket with shredded bits of clothing strewn around its base. From under the chair, a larger choker emerges. It was attempting to move silently, but it knocked the chair as it went making a loud sound.

Choker stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Init: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Sparky stays where he. Not wanting to get in the way of the melee in the corner. He thinks about what he might know about this creature, then throws a small ball of flame at the choker.

Sparky moves to the side, no longer standing in the doorway. He throws another ball of flame at the creature.

Welp that didn't last long. Under that MASSIVE assault and a surprising number of crits, the creature drops Zano as it dies. What would you like to do next?

came back too early. Just checking in on everyone.

I can't tell if there's a door next to the right-most window. If it's a door, Sparky will open it.

"Do you want to go upstairs and finish the 'left' side of the mansion, or do the ground floor first?"

"The whole thing seems to be infested with monsters. Let's rest ten minutes, and then clear the floor. Is anyone injured?"

Zano will follow along in the back, waiting to see where others want to go.

Heading as a group you head into the next room. Coat hooks adorn the walls of this otherwise empty room. Not much here, but clothing. What happens next in the room or heading somewhere else?
map

Happy july eveyone! Hope everyone had fun out there! Checking in to see where you all decide to go next?

Sylas looks for which ways they may go now and looks for doors they haven't tried yet on the first level need reminders after the long weekend

You're fine! Here is a map. Uncovered areas are ones you have explored so far. You've got a lot of the first floor left done, but not much right or up the main staircase

Map

Moves over to the door and waits for others. stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29 to creak it open and peer inside. position updated.

Sylas follows stealthy behind Zano keeping to the side as Zano peeks in.

stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Rola stands behind the others with her bow. stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

This large ballroom has a wide, open floor of dust-caked woodwork. A pair of grand brick fireplaces stand to the west and east; low stone benches fitted with rotting cushions flank either side of each fireplace. Several dozen antlers from deer and elk adorn the walls around and over the fireplaces. To the north, three long risers lead up to a stage with two large chairs placed on it. A flight of stairs leads upward to either side of the chairs, and a ratty tapestry of red and black—the colors of House Thrune—hang behind it.

roll me some perception and tell me what you do as you walk into the main ballroom.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 Zano walks in, looks around, then starts dancing.

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 Rola scans the room.

perc: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Sylas steps in with Zano and puts his back to the wall right inside the door looking around.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Thin tendrils of smoke, like from incense, rise from his body as Sparky steps into the ballroom and walks along a stone bench. "If I need moldy stuffing, I know where to find some."

You carefully scan the room and notice that the bones on the wall slightly move. they are big snake things that are not just for decoration, but HUGE bone snakes that are waiting to strike! As you catch them in the corner of your eye, the snap toward you!
