Azrin casts Communal Protection from Evil and draws his crossbow.
"So fellas, what did I miss? You might want to firebomb that cellar before we go on." "I'll do the next best thing." Azrin casts Consecrate on the area around the hole.
"Bulldozer, you're first, buddy."
"I can't make sense of these. But let's hold on to them, and I'll try something tomorrow." Azrin closes the box and carefully puts it in his backpack. Then he looks down the hole.
Azrin examines D1.
"That's what I like to hear!"
Azrin relays this to his allies. "I can hold back the disease and paralysis, but only so many times. And I can't do anything to help if I get paralyzed." "Bulldozer, you're immune to paralysis, right? I'm going to need you to keep me safe, or else none of us are walking out of there."
"Alright. That was a joke, by the way." "It sounds like it might have been some kind of illusion magic, but I guess there's only one way to find out..." On the way to the Sanctuary, Azrin takes a moment to recall the special abilities and weaknesses of ghouls.
Why can't any of these places be infested with kittens or something? @Beast: "I don't suppose there's another large, muscular creature in the area, that someone might mistake for you? Called 'The Other Beast', maybe?"
"Thanks for your help, and for the tea." Guilt washes over Azrin's face as he looks at the disfigured man. It would be too costly for us to restore his eyesight. Besides, I couldn't in good conscience leave him with that Pharasman priestess... He shivers as he recalls last night's "treatment". No. Lady as my witness, I'll come back and cure his blindness myself some day. Once they leave, Azrin puts a hand on Bulldozer's shoulder. "I appreciate you trying to be friendly to the witnesses. But next time, don't mention that you kill for a living. People get a little uncomfortable when someone brings that up." "Anyway, let's hear what the Beast has to say for himself."
"You'll have to excuse my friend, he has a peculiar sense of humor!" Azrin says while glaring daggers at Bulldozer. "In any case, we're investigating the Karb Isle Sanctuary fire. Would you mind giving us your account of what happened? And understand that you are NOT under any threat of violence."
"Good idea! Thanks for the advice, Kaple." Azrin Gathers Info about this last case on the way to wherever Karl is.
"I hope we've made it clear by now that there are more dangerous things than the Beast running amok."
More than the lot of you combined. "We had no choice. The Wraith that killed these children left no physical evidence. And I have already arranged for all of the children to be given a proper burial."
"There was something else the witnesses forgot to mention: When we visited them yesterday, they told us that Karin was found dead in her bed, without a mark on her, and no sign of forced entry, two days after the Beast was run off." "But you don't have to take my word for it. We have brought Karrin's body with us. With the court's permission, I would like to cast Speak with Dead on it." Once he has permission, he does so. "How were you killed?"
On the way back to the inn , Azrin seeks out a funeral service and hires them to collect the children's bodies. "There are some Wraiths in the area, but if you go when the sun is out, you'll have nothing to fear from them."
"Er, yes...thank you, sister." Once they are out of the temple, Azrin rubs his eyelids, mumbling something about how many weirdos there are amongst Pharasma's followers.
Azrin casts Cure Light Wounds to heal himself and Bulldozer.
"Oh, that reminds me...when we've got the time we should try to find someone who can cast Restoration and restore Bulldozer's and my drained life force. That spell is beyond my current ability, I'm afraid."
"Works for me. Let's take Karrin's body and get out of here." He looks at the children's skeletons one last time before leaving. "I...we should come back in daylight and give them a proper burial. Or at least arrange for someone else to do it. It's not right, leaving them to rot like that."
"What did the black spooky thing look like?"
"I couldn't do much more against them anyway." Azrin sighs, dejectedly sheathing his mace. Azrin casts Speak with Dead on Elsa's corpse.
"How were you killed?" he asks the corpse.
"Now that's just cheating!" Azrin casts Cure Serious Wounds on Elsa
Azrin swings his mace at Swarm as he sinks into the ground.
Azrin casts Cure Serious Wounds on Swarm and takes a step away from him (trying to lure him toward the more resilient melee fighters).
Azrin tries to recall the weaknesses of Wraiths.
Azrin Quick Channels and attempts to Turn the wraith and his minion
Azrin casts Light on his holy Pharasma symbol. "You guys can see in the dark, right? Let me know if you see any semi-transparent kids up past their bedtime."
Azrin starts looking for other wraiths.
Azrin casts Bless and Communal Protection from Evil on the party. "There'll be more...try not to get touched." -Karrin's corpse is now a valid target for Speak With Dead if you want to use that as evidence in the Trial. Note that if you use it now, you can hear the story before the Trial, but can't present it in court since Speak With Dead only works once a week on a corpse. So it'll be less solid evidence, but you'd know what it was before she tells it to everyone. He relays this to his allies while casting Gentle Repose on Karrin's corpse. "I think we should find another spawn. We can ask one here, and bring the second one to the trial." He shivers. "Not that I'm looking forward to having my life force drained more, mind you..."
Azrin takes a step away from the Spawn and casts Ghostbane Dirge on it. The snarky retort he had prepared is lost in a fit of shivers from its chilling touch.
"I think you're up past your bedtime." Azrin channels at the spawn.
Azrin casts Light on his dagger, then looks for a safe path toward the screaming.
