"Let us explore more of this level first."

Raziel will stand near to Setomi, ready if either healing or combat is needed.
"Let's check out the smaller doors first."
"Then we go back up? And take the stairs upward to the upper floors, or choose another path on the ground?"
"Any prisoners would be below, that is true. Lead on Setomi."
Raizel cautiously steps forward into the room.
"Yes, a faint whisper...'blessed be the liberators'?"
Just touching base, to say I'm still here and still want to play.
Standing by as you work and finish your thesis.
"Which way shall we proceed? Through the portal that the 'oni'was trying to flee, or another path?"
"I could, but it would take time," Raziel replies. "Ameiko is still missing, and we do not what other creatures still lie in wait for us."
Happy New Year to everyone!
Raziel will use his Detect Magic to see if any of the items are magical.
Raziel steps over to see the shapechanger, and releases another bolt of Sarenrae's fire.
Raziel moves to keep the red faced man in sight, and fires another bolt of fire at him.
I should have learned my lesson from the goblins, but Raziel still wants to hope for the best.
"Sarenrae offers mercy to those who repent," Raziel replies, "But those who spurn or betray her offer are destroyed without remorse."
Raziel moves towards the red-faced man, and raises his hand. "Feel the wrath of Sarenrae," he intones, loosing a bolt of fire at the foe.
Raziel blinks the glitter from his eyes, and stands ready to strike at any foe that comes near.
Raziel fails to save, and steps backward.
Raziel steps forward to the next foe, and attacks.
Raziel casts Bull Strength on Sorin, as he requested.
"Best to confront the evil while we are at our strongest," Raziel comments. "Sorin, I have a spell that will increase your strength for a brief time, if you want. We can cast it before we enter the fight."
Raziel casts Light, and steps forward to illuminate the passage.
"Remain with us, Setomi. We do not want to get seperated here, where we could not come to each other's aid." "Where is this secret door which you spoke of?"
Sorry for missing my turn. I've started work at a new place, and I'm trying to get in sync.
"I hear something from around the corner of the castle, to the northwest. Gather round, and we can meet it here on our terms."
"That sounds like a reasonable path to take currently. Shall we go?"
"Best to unbar the outer doors too, Sorin, in case we have to make a hasty exit."
Raziel will follow Sorin down the rope, taking care not to fall.
"They seem to be expecting us at the gate. Mayhaps we can get further in by following along the wall, which these creatures do not have seemed to think of yet. And it would be difficult to bring our numbers to bear on them if we went in through the trapdoor." Raziel gestures down the wall lengths on either side. "Do you have a perference as to which way to proceed?"
Raziel declines to look through the trap door, instead moving to the edge of the outbilding and looking across the walls and ramparts.
If there is something up there, Setomi, you will need extra blessings to avoid its attacks, either to hold while we climb, or to retreat back to us. This should aid you either way." Raziel casts Shield of Faith on Setomi. "This will only last for a few minutes, so do not delay."
Raziel will also follow Sorin towards the castle. "The others are being watched by Spivey, and if they remain quiet should remain safe. Ameiko is more than likely a captive of whatever controls Brinewall Castle now, and so we are going to deal with the heart of the matter. Please, come with us Setomi."
On a slightly different note, I have noticed that we have traveled for a few weeks before ending up at B rinewall, and yet the magic items that the elves had given us remain unidentified for the most part. They might be helpful on the adventure now.
"I thank you Spivey," Raziel replies. "Also consider this, Sorin, should those following us notice us at the castle, they will be drawn there, and not to here. But we should go now, lest Ameiko suffer some fate while we argue here."
"No, Sorin. I feel that they would be in danger if we took them into Brinewall under the spell's influence. We four should go alone."
"This mist, which as dogged our steps, the spell cast here, and our companion Ameiko taken; I fear we are being manipulated," Raziel says.
"Who is with me?"
"They seem to be under some sort of spell, Setomi" Raziel says. "Calm yourself, anger here will not do us any good."
"Many thanks for the information, Spivey," Raziel says with a polite bow. "May the blessings of Desna and Sarenrae be upon you." Looking frpm the castle to the forest to determine how much time they have, Raziel notices the creature.
"I suppose it would be my place to speak of it, since I have been told that I am the one cursed. Truthfully, I do not know much at all about the curse, or that I was even cursed until a short time ago."
"We mean no harm intruding here. We are merely travelers, chased to this ruined village seeking refuge from men who pursue us."
"This looks to be carefully tended. Best not to disturb things here. but I wonder who does the tending? Mayhaps there is still someone local around?"
"There is something odd about the cemetery over there. Can we stop by it to take a look?"
