The scream from the bat almost drops Tylur to his knees. Shaking his head he does his best to get a bearing on his surroundings.

Looking in the direction of the well he heads over with Réne. Looking about the ground he looks for anything out of the sort.
"The well's purpose might have been water once upon a time but it also means there might be some caves below where the water was being drawn from. These creatures shun light of any sort and down there is absolute darkness." "Skarn you have the best eyes and catch anything hidden in the stone. I suggest we lower you first to make certain. I have no rope so we would only have Réne's."
Tylur nods and indicates for Cordwin to lead the way. "I will say that if Master Foxglove has not seen anything out of the ordinary we should be wary."
"Perhaps the disease that wiped out the clan was actually the very thing that is now making these ghouls? We should head to the main building. No living thing would occupy that building in the state it is in."
Watching the creature's necrotic power freeze his companion he shouts back to Cordwin and René, "If either of you have some trick that you have yet to use this would be the time." He swings his blade again.
Tylur turns his focus to the ghast his attention on the key that Cordwin immediately points out. Before moving in he takes a deep breath and makes his way for the ghast. As soon as he nears the ghast the smell is enough to drop him to his knees...
but Tylur fights through it and thrusts the bastard blade right at the chest of the ghast.
Skarn takes the lead as Tylur attention ponders on what curse has afflicted the people of this land that would cause them to become ghouls. Hearing René describe the corpse Tylur draws the bastard blade. "The last time we encountered a creature marked with that star we almost died. Let us be ready this time."
As the ghoul rises Tylur whips his spiked chain at the abomination's head.
Tylur watches another of the abominations fall to his Scorpian's Tail he felt guided here and he wondered if the Dawnflower had turned her gaze toward him even briefly. The pack of ghouls had been reduced to only a pair now and he wanted none of these foul perversions the opportunity to run. Taking a step closer he whipped Scorpian's Tail at the furthest ghoul as Skarn's pick embedded itself into the closer ghoul, leaving Tylur with little doubt that would end its existence.
Using the chain to fend off the ghoul Tylur whips the spike forward at the ghoul's upper torso.
Tylur is too busy to defending himself to comment on the cheers from René but he had been with this man long enough to know that he had way to change the fortunes found on the battlefield. As if on queue Tylur turns just in time to see the ghoul attacking him stumble on the outstretched claw of the'dead' ghoul Tylur had just took took down. "Whatever you do René. Keep at it!"
Watching the ghouls attack en masse Tylur hears Cordwin gasp as the ghoul's necrotic effect causes the Cordwin's muscles to lock up leaving the dwarf open to an attack. Tylur turns his attention to the wounded ghoul and tries to stab it again.
Ripping the spike from the felled ghoul's head Tylur brings up the chain just in time to catch another ghoul's claw as it tries to scratch at his torso. Tylur brings the spike below and attempts to spike this newest opponent through its decomposing jaw.
The smell of death immediately pours out of the barn as soon as Skarn opens the large doors. "May these souls will find the rest they deserve." Tylur rushes towards the barn door removing Scorpian's Tail from his belt. Spinning the spiked chain he waits for the first of the carrion eaters to attack. Ready Attack. First enemy to get in melee range:
Tylur draws the enchanted bastard sword and rushes the closest scarecrow sweeping the blade at the creature'legs.
Putting aside the comments from his companions he can't but help feel there is some truth to what they are saying. "Let's just get about to finding if the problem is originating from this farm. I don't think it is but there might be some answers here as well."
Got around to leveling up next level I plan on taking a lvl in paladin I'm hoping that something will happen in the story that justifies Tylur being called upon this path. How are hp determined? 1/2HD + 1? summary: +1 BAB
Weapon Training 1 (Flails) +1 to following skills: Climb, Intimidate, Survival and Swim
As Cordwin mentions that they are passing the Hambley Place you can see Tylur grabbing his symbol of Sarenrae closing his eyes. Opening them he suggests, "If we are already passing this place we should investigate it. Travelling through the night it is probably best to approach Fox Manor by day if the undead presence is strong there."
Tylur would be against it defending the man if necessary and then bringing him to the sheriff for proper sentencing. Also Tylur would want to help the man with the fever but understands that the threat in the Foxglove Manor area seem to be getting greater so time is of the essence. will update lvl later
Tylur continues to attack the zombie closest to him .
Watching as these creatures now aim to stop him and his companions Tylur draws the bastard sword acquired from the demoness in two hands and swings it at the creature to his left.
Bye Aurora! See you around!
Tylur grabs the spiked chain attached to his belt swinging it several revolutions he tosses it at the feet of Grayst but the chain skitters off the floor as it misses Grayst.
"Aldern Foxglove? The man could be of no harm. Do you think he is the cause for Sabina's abrupt leaving?"
Taking the note he shakes the Sheriff Hemlock's hand and nods, "We have no desire to cause the town to erupt in chaos. Many are still getting over the incident with the goblins. We will head to the Sanatorium and see if any more clues can be discovered."
"This is very important information, Sheriff Hemlock. We will ensure to look into this right away. Tell us when did the man suffer this insanity? Has he always showed signs or is this recent?" Tylur's tone unlike some of the others is calm and compassionate.
Foul as the smell might be Tylur does his best not to be affected by it and breathes through his mouth. "A ghast? Should we be worried?"
Tylur looks down at the body somewhat troubled with the way the bodies have been left. When he sees the man's mutilated body Tylur moves closer to the corpse. Speaking out loud Tylur directs his question to Cordwin "In Cheliax it is not unheard of to have someone speak with the spirit of those that have died suspiciously. Do you think the Father would have this ability?" Tylur looks at the tracks left in the sawdust. "Let's see how many came in here."
Tylur nods, "Agreed. The place of the last attack seems to be a good place to find clues."
Tylur nods at Cordwin's suggestion and he turns to say something to Aurora but then chooses to keep quiet. "Hopefully the sawmill will give us some clues as to who this is. Thank you for bringing this to our attention Sheriff."
Tylur waits for René to read back the note wondering the same thing as everyone else, 'Why would anyone target them? Did we not just save this place?'
GM I'll donate the 1000 to Skarn.
Alright. I'll provide Skarn from my share whatever is needed to get his pick enchanted.
Sorry I had them on my sheet. Was the banded mail there too? I'd claim the banded mail +1 and the bastard sword +1.
Ready here once we find out what to do with money.
I have a short sword +1 and the bastard sword +1. Can we sell the short sword +1 and add the funds to the pool. I'd opt to divide the sum evenly. I can also donate some of my funds to make up for the difference to get Skarn's pick enchanted
will roll I like to live dangerously...
Sorry will need a couple more days before I am ready.
I'm fine with waiting until the end of May as my schedule is crazy these days too. Thanks for helping us finish this book GM Fuzz!
"Let's not wait to find out. Maybe when we return to the surface we can ask the priest he might know something of their nature. I believe there is another passage for us to check."
"Skarn whatever those things are get out and close the door!"
Tylur indicates to go through the double doors.
As she reaches to pick up her blade Tylur stabs with his spiked chain hoping to mercifully end this abomination's life.
"With the blade in her hand she will slaughter us all!" Tylur whips his spiked chain at the Nualia looking to rip the blade from her hand again.
Tylur in a blur strikes with surety at the yeth feeling a strange amount of confidence settle upon him. 'I feel your presence Dawnflower! Blessings upon you.'
Tylur strikes at the yeth hound cautiously from the ground more so to distract it enough so he can get back to his feet.
Tylur stares in the direction of the woman with no remorse. She had gone far beyond disfiguring herself she had completely perverted her soul. Not even the Dawnflower could repent her for this. He watched as the often reliable Skarn missed. Her skill is undeniable. Dawnflower guide us all. With that Tylur began to spin his spiked chain already clear in what he must doProtect us Mother and none will champion your cause more than I.
Before she could reset herself to attack again Tylur threw his chain at the blade in Nualia's hand with the hopes of disarming her.
"Right René. Cordwin you open the door I will go in first. Skarn to follow. René and Aurora move off to the side away from the door just in case. Aurora your touch seems to put me in a more focused state almost as if something were guiding my actions ever slightly. Are you able to do that before we open the door?"
