Amala manages to grab the edge of the floor yet struggles to pull herself up to join Hallidan......who scans the area for ther unseen foe. While he does not see anyone he does notice the roof of the Castle Gate’s tower provides a nearly unobstructed view of all of Longacre. Aside from the view, a simple chair sits beneath a faded periwinkle canopy. Octavonius prepares for the worse as Fellzir's healing washes over the group and Aurelius adds his own form of support to the cause.
Amala suddenly feels her mind becoming clouded as she tries to pull herself up... Hallidan knows a spell is being cast but cannot see where the spell is coming from!

Fellzir casts "Detect Magic," hoping it will work through the floorboards of the room above.
Amala can shake off the spell and pulls herself up.
She takes her bow and just shoots an arrow at a random into the air.
“Show yourself!!“
"Something invisible must be preying upon us!" Octavonius warns. "Steel yourselves!"
Seeing Fellzir's casting, he goes for a Detect Magic as well, trying to hit any areas that Fellzir's spell cannot.
He casts detect magic and joins in the find the magician fest.
Hallidan pulls back the canopy and stabs down into the chair. "Where are you, you cowardly little..."

While the rest of you examine the area for a possible invisible opponent, Amala pulls herself up to her feet as Hallidan strides forth and thrusts at the back of the chair...whick draws a startled yelp! As Hallidan's blade draws contact with their opponent he sees this is...some sort of fey creature, barely a foot tall, and covered in sleek black fur, with vaguely feline features crouching behind the chair! The creature glares at the tiefling and steps forward to slash at Hallidan...

...but Hallidan leaps away from the vicious claws!

Amala draws another cold iron arrow and shoots again!!
Approach!
Aurelius has a most cunning and failproof plan, that may deliver the foe straight into his manly arms!
With no easy way for the old wizard to join the fray, Octavonius simply shouts words of encouragement up Hallidan and Amala. When Ohd joins him in the shouting, he remembers his familiar can do more than just squawk on his shoulder.
"Get up there and see what it is and report back so that I can identify the blasted thing!"
"Yes, Master!" the raven says.
Having no idea what the creature is, Hallidan can only swing his sword. "Hah! Gotcha!"
Fellzir continues scanning for a second round.
|
|
Amala's shot flies wide, while Hallidan again strikes a glancing blow at the diminutive fey creature. Fellzir loses sight of the battle as Hallidan moves out of sight. Aurelius calls upon his dark power to compel the creature to approach even as Ohd wonders what sort of fey this could be...
...but it easily shakes off the compulsion and moves to strike at Hallidan again...

Amala draws another cold iron arrow and shoots again!!
“At least you provide me with a target for my blood lust!!“ she screams.
"Hal, bring him to the trapdoor!" Fellzir says helpfully and hopefully.
Round 3 of Detect Magic. He will focus on the small bag if nothing else appeared in his vision.
Through preservance I endure, through dedication I overcome!
APPROACH
Trying the same thing again as I dont have a good way to get up there.
Hearing the demands of his fellows, Octavonius sets his sights on the trap door and readies an Acid Splash to strike this mystery creature should it come into view.
"You think I'm grabbing this thing?" Hallidan calls down. "No thanks!" He steps to get a different angle and swipes again with his sword.
|
|
Amala's rage get's the better of her as her shot flies wide, but Hallidan strikes a solid blow against the fey. Fellzir detects no additional auras other than those of the other party members, along with the bag. Octavonius peers upwards hoping to get a lucky spell off and Aurelius tries to command the fey again....
...but it once again shakes off the compulsion and moves to strike at Hallidan again...

...but Hallidan is struck by the sharp claws! Immediately he feels a chill travel all over his body!

Ill guess ill get over then!
With a mighty hew of his armored form he pulls himself up!
Haha villain, I am on to thee now!
Amala draws another cold iron arrow and shoots again!!
“Just die!!“ she screams.
With nearly everyone else making their way up Octavonius looks from the trap door to Fellzir. "There's little chance I can join them but these old bones may be able to assist you if you require it."
"You think I'm grabbing this thing?" Hallidan calls down. "No thanks!"
"Very well. Fall back to where I can see you if you need anything. That might help Amala's aim if she's not shooting around you, as well."
Fellzir declines the boost and readies a channel.

Aurelius manages to grab the edge of the floor with a prodigious show of strength! Fellzir waves off Octavonius ' offer of assistance, instead preparing to heal his comrades even as Amala struggles to hit her elusive target.
Hallidan feels strange...as if he can longer trust his own abilities here. It seems as if a malaise has infested his soul here!
Fall back. Good idea. Hal strikes and then backs up a step
|
|
Hallidan thinks he has struck a solid blow against the fey creature, but as he shifts his body forward he stumbles slightly, causing his blow to go askew! Hallidan knows he is usually more sure-footed than THAT!
The fey turns its attention to Amala now, moving forward to strike...
;
...and Amala takes a scratch here, but she also feels a strange coldness travel through her body as well!

Aurelius rises up, ready to smack the "villain" with a massive 2 handed blow.
I strike thee!
"Arghh!" she shouts after being scratched.
Fellzir won't channel unless he can see Hal and the Fey. He delays pending Aurelius's result.
What the bloomin' plagues is going on? Hal steps back further. "He-- he did something to me!" Hal says accusingly. "I can't move right!" Drawing a dagger with his free hand, he lets it fly at the small fey.
"Sounds like a proper mad house up there," Octavonius mutters to himself as he continues to ready his spell.

Amala manages to shake off the aura of unluck, while Octavonius and Hallidan prepare for the action to shift downstairs. Hallidan again feels his aim thrown off, but Aurelius strides forward and manages to connect solidly with the fey! The fey creature stares wide eyed in shock as it bleeds...before it abruptly turns to flee... scampering to the back of the tower and shimmying down the outside!

Aurelius rushes at the window, leaving enough place of Amala, and tries his rick for a third time
APPROACH DC 15 will save
Fellzir loads his crossbow and steps outside.
Amala moves, draws another cold iron arrow and shoots again!!
“Just die now!!“ she screams.
"Over here!" (if that roll is good enough.)
"Good riddance I say, ain't about to break my neck chasing down some stupid trickster-thing that gets all into..." Hal trails off as he jumps back down to the lower floor.

The rest of you hurry to catch sight of the elusive fey but sadly you lose sight of the tiny creature. Even Ohd is amazed at the ability of the thing to hide from his keen avian senses.

"What in the devils has happened here?" Octavonius muses once they all reconvene. "First a were-beast and now a flighty fey creature. Is our town being encroached upon?"

After scouring the area you find no traces of the mysterious fey but are reasonable convinced the fey has indeed vacated the area. Octavonius determines the fey left its marks on the area...The ropes to the pulley mechanism controlling the gate have been cut, making the mechanism useless. The mage also determines the ropes appear to have been gnawed through by tiny teeth. Finally he notices a crack in the wall just wide enough for a Tiny creature to squeeze through...which is how it made its escape.
Repairs, definitely. I already have Mending prepared.
But first I want to know what the magic item is in the bag, and I want to see if there are any curses, hexes, or effects on Hal.
Amala is really angry.
[b]"Damn fey!! I will kill it! This is outrageous!!" she fumes.
Let me assist in mending the damage Sir Fellzir, together it will go much quicker
Aurelius casts mending and begins preparing as well.

Fellzir, with Aureluis's help, manages to repair the Gate without too much difficulty and you are able to re-secure the Gate as the ArchBaron instructed. However the cleric has less luck in determining what curse Hallidan has been struck with... all he can determine is that it is indeed a fey curse of unluck, of some kind.
Inside the shattered remains of the chest that was shoved down upon you is a masterwork light crossbow and a bag of holding (smallest size) containing six flasks of alchemist’s fire and a thunderstone.
