Concerned what might be upstairs, Lavanor follows Camil and Runt.

Concerned that Camil will be out of sight and that the group may not be able to hear anything happening with the sound of the river, Lavanor and Scout move as quietly as they can to the beginning of the boardwalk by the stairs going to the lower level.
"I'm not the best at sneaking either with this armor. I could send Scout over to stand guard and let us know if Camil gets into trouble," Lavanor says.
From the bottom of p77: Camil: 38/46, 1 CON dmg
we have some injuries, so let's keep those in mind as we continue on.
Lavanor continues to attack the same creature he did before.
Sorry for not posting. Between some new responsibilities at work and the kids starting school, my schedule has been a mess. I'm catching up again and hoping to post, but I can already hear someone up, so may not get a chance right now. If I can't, I won't be able to until tonight, so bot me.
Lavanor joins the others wandering the market looking for bargins.

I had been waiting for a chance to chime in and wasn't able to get on last night to offer Isabella help. I see we fast forwarded a bit. It looked like we were planning on returning to retrieve the books before burning the place down. Was that still the plan or did things change with the quick onset of the disease?
Hey everyone. I am still alive. My apologies for disappearing. Been overwhelmed by work and home life in general. I've caught up on the posts so it looks like I can join you on the ride back to town.
Lavanor nods at Camil's question about Magnimar. "Yes, I can't say I was planning on returning so soon. We will have to see what the sheriff can do. Does anyone have a small sack they don't need and a way to cauterize a wound? It should help with the mess," he says as he prepares to gather the proof they need for the bounty. Once that is done, he leads the group back to the entrance to the caves, stopping when Camil remembers the rats. He takes the vial from Camil and gets ready to throw it when Zherxikas mentions a fireball. He looks down at the vial and then at the wizard. "A fireball seems more effective. Besides, we were planning on burning the place down anyway."
"Well done Forest,"Lavanor says after the creature collapses. He puts his spear away and picks up his sword, inspecting the blade to make sure it wasn't damaged by dropping it. He moves with the others into the room to help search. "Wow that is a nice sword. We should consider keeping it in case we need it. That material is expensive," he says as he takes his turn inspecting the newly found sword. At the mention of the bounty, Lavanor shrugs his shoulders. "I can't say I've ever collected a bounty on a person but just having some of their items might not be enough. The thought of carrying his head around isn't too appealing but I suppose it's better than carrying his whole body around, especially if we need to take it all the way to Magnimar. We can test the new sword out," he states, looking to the group for confirmation. "I do think we should finish searching the building before we burn it down, though," he adds.
With the large bat upon Forest, Lavanor motions for Scout to move back to open up some space. He then drops his sword, pulls out his longspear, and tries to stab the creature.
Lavanor almost walks into Forest, when the fighter suddenly stops. Peeking over his shoulder into the room, the ranger can see the giant bat. He gets ready to move forward to attack, when Forest seems to ready to defend himself. "Forest, if you choose to fight where you are, the rest of us won't be able to help you much, as we won't be able to engage. I would encourage you to move into the room so more of us can attack," he states, hoping the fighter will move so he can also move up.
In the crowded tunnel, Lavanor draws his sword, expecting to find more undead.
Lavanor watches to make sure the body doesn't move while the others search the room and tend to Camil. "I realize he had information that would have been useful, but I doubt he would have given it to us. Besides, having been paralyzed twice by undead, I felt it was too dangerous to hold back. We did move though the building rather quickly to get here, so I agree a more careful search is warranted. Then I have no qualms about burning it down."
Seeing the others move in to engage, Lavanor draws his sword and joins the attack. He wasn't sure if the creature was truly concerned about "the Hurter" or if the monstrosity was speaking of itself, but he wasn't interested in continuing the conversation. Such a dangerous creature needed to be eliminated as quickly as possible.
Lavanor picks up his sword as he stands back up. He takes a moment to shake out his arms and legs. "Ugh, that is the worst feeling, not being able to move but seeing what is going on around you. Well done finishing them off everyone," he says. "I'm going to search this area over here to make sure there aren't any more so we don't get flanked," he says, pointing to the room to the west (B35). He moves forward with Scout and one of the guards, searching the room before finding himself at the west side of the pool room.
"Camil, get behind me. Forest, move up beside me once Zherxikas moves back, to create our line," Lavanor says, preparing to attack when the ghouls advance.
Lavanor starts to move up towards the new group of undead when the room explodes in a ball of fire. Seeing all of the ghouls dead, he turns to Zherxikas, "Wow, nice job. I was concerned how we were going to fight so many at once," he says with a smile. Turning to see where Camil is looking, his smile quickly fades as he realizes he can't get in front of his companion. "Between these tunnels and this armor, I can't move fast enough. Forrest, can you move to protect Camil?"
Lavanor moves up to assist the raptor and tries to attack the ghoul around the corner but catches the wall instead.
Hearing the dinosaur attacking something, Lavanor tries his best to squeeze through the narrow passage. Not able to move into the next area, Lavanor prepares to defend himself should a ghoul get past the dinasaur.
Lavanor tries to finish off the ghoul that attacked him.
Lavanor looks at Runt with uncertainty. "I was going off of what Camil said about the footsteps and perhaps made an assumption. I hadn't tried to determine what direction they may be going," he says before listening for them himself.
Lavanor finally catches up to the group and hears Camil's information. "With as narrow as those passageways look, I don't think we want to take the fight to them as we couldn't spread out. I think we need to establish our defensive lines here in this room. I'll try to hold the north tunnel. Forest, your armor may help protect you if there are more coming from the middle. Does anyone need healing before our visitors arrive?" he says, drawing his sword as he moves into position to attack whatever is coming at them.
"It's worth a try," Lavanor yells to the group in the room before turning around. "Move out of the hall. We're letting this creature out of here," he yells back to the others still in the hall before moving back towards the rest of the group.
As quickly as he was struck with fear and couldn't move, Lavanor seemed to return to normal. "Curly, open that door to let Scout into the room. This hallway is too congested," he says, motioning to the door on the right and then whistling at Scout. He then runs past the group in the hallway to see if he can help with the creature.
Lavanor was not familiar with what a revenent was, he only knew how much it terrified him. "The horrors of this place are just too much. I must push through this fear. Once we have what we need from here, we can raze the building," he thinks to himself, frozen in fear.
Lavanor follows up the stairs. "Yes, I believe so. Thanks for asking. All of us need to keep an eye on each other while we are searching the building. It seems that any one of us can be affected by these haunts," he says.
Lavanor shakes his head as if waking up. "What happened? I felt as if I wanted to end my life after killing my true love. This family is cursed. I think the whole place should be burned to the ground," he says as he rubs his wrist and looks down at the long piece of wood.
"This place is very disturbing," he says as he follows Runt into the next room and looks around.
Lavanor waits as the group starts heading up the stairs to determine the location of the noise. Not wanting to get too separated, he points at the guard still downstairs. "Let's head upstairs. Keep watch at the top of the stairs with Scout. If you see or hear anything coming from the first floor, let us know," he says as he hands the man his everburning torch before leading the remainder of the group up the stairs.
Lavanor moves into the room, drawing his sword at the sight of the creature. He exhales in relief when he notices it's stuffed. "I'm glad we don't have to fight that thing," he says as he motions for Scout to stand guard at the door. When Runt and Forest begin to move up the stairs, he moves forward to stand guard at the base of the stairs, prepared to attack any threats that come at them from the rest of the building.
Before we move forward to the main building, let's search these remains. I don't want something hiding in there and coming up behind us," Lavanor says drawing his sword and moving up with Scout. He also motions for one of the guards to move up as well.
Lavanor listens to the conversation while looking around the room.
"There sure are a lot of ghouls. Anyone recognize any of them. If we knew who they were we could at least eliminate them as being the lord, " he says looking at Camil and Isabella for any info before starting to search the bodies for anything that could identify them.
Lavanor looks over at Isabella after the group reads the note. "Whoever is doing this certainly has a thing for you, Isabella. Does this note give you any clue who it is?" he asks. While searching the house, Lavanor stops Runt from using the key on the lockbox. "Just because we might have the key doesn't mean it isn't trapped. Camil, you mind checking it first?" he asks.
Lavanor considers Camil's suggestion. "Alright, let's make sure the barn is clear then we can do a more thorough search of the buildings," he says, casting a concerned look to his companion.
With the ghoul inside taken care of by Zherxikas' fireball, Lavanor weaves between his companions to get to the ghoul next to the building and attacks it.
He then signals Scout to move up to pile on the attacks on the leader.
Lavanor's eyes get wide at the sight of the room full of ghouls. "I wasn't expecting that many at once," he thinks as he slashes at the ghoul in the doorway.
He then commands Scout to protect Runt's flank.
Scout moves up and gets ready to attack a ghoul if one moves close enough.
Preparing to move inside, Lavanor also draws his sword and moves next to Forest to follow him in.
"Runt, do you want to see if anything evil is waiting for us ahead?" Lavanor asks before moving forward.
"Hopefully soon, but I agree with Camil. We might not like what we find," Lavanor says as he sheathes his sword and pull out his bow. "Just like last time. Everyone ready to see if these are ghouls also?" he says as he nocks an arrow and takes aim at the southern scarecrow.
Not having a clear shot at the ghoul, Lavanor hopes that Forrest can take care of the creature. He moves up next to Runt, swapping out his bow for his sword, prepared to attack any creatures that come his way.
I forget how to keep my token from snapping to a location. I want to be 1 square to the west of Runt.
"Keep an eye on that third scarecrow on the right to make sure that's not another one," Lavanor says as he moves closer and takes aim at the far ghoul before he fires.
@GM - are we waiting on Isabella?
"Be careful, we don't need those 3 scarecrows jumping down on us if they are ghouls," he says swapping out his sword for his bow. He lines up a shot on the closest scarecrow and lets loose an arrow.
"Alight, then let's go right at the next intersection. Just keep an eye out since that's the general direction that ghoul fled," Lavanor says keeping his sword at the ready.
