We are all fine, which is good. It’s just hard to carve out the time. I think my job will be back closer to normal in June, which would put me back in my routine.

I’m still interested, but my personal situation makes it hard to post with any regularity. I would understand if you wanted to sideline me.
Trunt follows Camil onto the platform and fires his crossbow at the sinspawn still standing.
She’s feeling much better as well! That probably would have been more useful middle of last week, we were both feeling pretty rough.
I'm still here, feeling much better as well. Its going to take me a while to get back in the swing of things but I hope to post tonight or tomorrow.
Well, looks like the wife and I both have coronavirus. I’m currently using most of my energy to do stuff with the kids. Not sure when I will get back to posting regularly. Nothing serious right now, just worn out.
Trunt pulls his other dagger and lays into the demon.
The wriggling demon still manages to dodge Trunts daggers, set upon as it is.
Trunt moves into the water to flank with Runt, dropping his crossbow and pulling a dagger to plunge at the wriggling demon.
The dagger finally finds its mark and Trunt seriously wounds the quasit.
Twang goes Trunt’s crossbow, the bolt finally finding home in the quasit’s small form.
At least this room has doors so we can close this thing in with us. This combat is ridiculous. It doesn’t help that with its AC we need a 15-18 to hit it. Were we supposed to even kill it or is it supposed to get away?
Trunt lets fly with another crossbow bolt at the creature, but it goes wide.
"Can someone pin this thing down? I cant hit it worth diddly-squat."
After running toward the double doors, Trunt sees the Quasit reappear, loads his crossbow and fires again at the nimble creatures.
Trunt looks around the room, glancing at the others and shrugs saying, "Well, I don't have any idea how to find that thing, do you all?" and heads toward the doors.
Trunt fires his Crossbow, reloads and then fires again at the Quasit, seeing the nimble creature scaring off his companions but it dodges out of they way and Trunt curses the creature and his crossbow.
A smaller fiendish canine appears near lavanor and attacks. It misses. Then a cold rush of power runs through everyone but Trunt (oddly, he is outside the radius whereas Runt is caught in it) and the quasit becomes visible.
Trunt's crossbow twangs as he fires at the suddenly visible quasit.
Trunt, startled by the sudden appearance whirls toward the Quasit but the bolt goes wide narrowly missing Runt.
Trunt can't figure out where it is so he runs up to the alter, loads his crossbow and readies an attack for something to appear.
Not able to spot the location of the creature himself, Trunt takes his waterskin and tries to fling water in the direction that Isabella motions in an attempt to splash the quasit and make it more visible.
Trunt drops his crossbow, draws a dagger, and stands by the door waiting for Camil to come in so that he can close the door. "Quick, get in so I can trap this thing in here with us!"
Trunt pulls out his crossbow and fires at the quasit.
Trunt then moves up behind Lavanor and Zandril. [ooc]Away from computer, can someone move me 20 ft up behind the others?
Trunt follows Runt’s lead farther in, while still staying at the back of the group to watch their rear.
Trunt looks the Ranseur over, feels the weight, and craftsmanship.
Trunt eyes the Ranseur. He approaches it and gazes at it longingly and begins to reach for it. He puts his hand on the haft and begins to lift it up.
Last into the room, Trunt takes a moment to take in the statue, its materials and imagery. When Camil requests he take a look, Trunt nods and moves up and takes a closer look.
Trunt waits for the others to follow Camil and watches their backs, wary of the unexplored passage.
Trunt stands at the junction in the hall and listens to see if he can still hear any screaming.
Trunt watches for a moment as Lavanor burns the foul creature and then follows Camil farther into the tunnel, daggers at the ready.
Trunt closes in with the strange creature and makes to attacks with his daggers.
Trunt's wild stabs cant make contact with what ever it is.
Trunt kicks himself when Lavanor mentions the light, but he proceeds with Camil, unwilling to send him in by himself.
As they get closer, Trunt whispers, ”Would you like me to look ahead? We might be able to get surprise on what ever things are down there.”
Trunt gazes at the body of Tsuto in disgust then glances at the goblin, but dismisses him. "I doubt we will get much more out of him that we already have. Lets get back to Lavanor and decide what to do from there." Trunt heads off back to the glassworks with out even talking to the Goblin.
Trunt turns back to the others and says, "OK guys, looks like this is about what we can get from him. Doesn't seem to want to give up any details on this Mistress. Someone get that Journal out and bring it with us. We should probably get back to the Glassworks to see how things are going there."
"Of course Tsuto, I wouldn't want you to break your word. Perhaps you could just describe her for me so that if I meet her, I can talk with her and explain your situation. Of course, your father was involved, did you have him killed? Such a nasty business, but sometimes these things happen.
Trunt walks up to Tsuto and gives him a nudge, a slap if necessary, to wake him. ”You’re in some bit trouble Tsuto. All those dead at the glassworks. The goblins in town the other day. And your mistress plans more I’m sure. Work with me and I’m sure I can make things easier for you. I want to help you.”
"Who are you working for?"
Trunt finds Tsuto's jail cell and takes a look at him. He focuses his innate magic at the man to Charm him.
"Also, what did he want from you?"
All the information I could find on Ameiko's family:
DM:
Wasn't Val or Angus' house near the Glassworks?
Trunt looks at Isabella and nods, "Yeah, there's no point in calling up the militia just yet. Lets question Tsuto, the goblin, and Ameiko first. Lets start with Ameiko, it doesn't seem like she was knowing of the situation before hand, so she might be the most honest with us. Maybe a couple of us should go back and guard that tunnel?"
Trunt pipes up, ”Don’t forget the sheriff is still out after the goblins in the area. We just have those 4 or so guards in the area. Should still be able to stick em in the jail, we’ll just have to do it ourselves.”
Once he and Camil get a ways down the tunnel and there is no end in sight, he sighs and says, ”Well, I would have lost that 10 gold if anyone had taken me up on it I guess. Let’s get back there and join back up with the others.” When they get back, Trunt says, ”Well, it was a bit longer than I thought it would be. What do you guys think we should do with these ones? I’m fine with whatever. That note that brought us here was from Tsuto to Ameiko right? Didn’t seem like she was in on what ever is going on here but I don’t know any of them. Maybe we aught to try to wake her up first.”
When the fight finally resolves, Trunt slumps against the tunnel wall for a moment, looks at his slight gash, and says, "Well, that could have gone better, but at least we all made it through. 10 gold says that tunnel just goes to that building just to the east of here. Let me check it out really quick and then come back." Trunt pulls himself up, and helps collect the gold and silver as well as the fullest bottle of wine he can find. When the thieves tools are found, Trunt says, "Perhaps I might be able to put those to use...I have some small skill with locks and things."
I'm thinking Trunt might be headed for some Sorcerer levels with a possible entry into arcane trickster. Not decided on that, but I just took another level of rogue this time.
Still here, I haven’t leveled up yet but I’ll try to get that done soon. I’m still on vacation until this Thursday so I might be a bit spotty until then.
I'm going to be away from computers for the next week and a half so I won't have access to Roll20, just FYI.
