Aerian also approaches the corpse cautiously, his hands up in a guarded stance as he skims the room for surprises.
Perception:
|
Nalaleil and Wilhelm are outside, the blood and the corpse are old (though the corps hasn't really decayed), the corpse isn't an undead
ok searching the room you guys don't find anything, but one of the books is a diary of the tower's owner. its full of strange and mad passages that are impossible to understand but you do learn that the owner was called Themon and that he was a powerful wizard that used to bind demons and devils in his basement.
Lets check out the top floor guys...do we really have to go to the basement?
"Hmmm, wonder what's in here. Let me take this chest with me, shouldn't be harmful. We can always break the chest later."
Philip leads the way to the basement.

no traps going down the basement, but there is light comming from there
as you reach the basement you see two glass cells, on the right side sits a succubus, on the left an erinyes. each cell has 1 bottle like the ones you found, though these are open, another bottle, filled with water, a plate and a spoon, nothing else. they both look at you as you enter the room, but otherwise do nothing
Philip stops for a moment, stunned by the presence of the evil outsiders. After a few seconds, he walks over to the first cell, on his left, and asks, Are you ok? what is your name?", hoping for a nonviolent response.
Philip will examine the glass cell closer, is it enclosing the outsider completely? If so. is there a way to open it?
Philip realizes the cages hold air, most likely keeping the outsiders alive.
He takes out one of the bottles he found upstairs, then he puts his hand around his skeletal throat, then points at the bottle. Watching to see how the 2 outsiders react.
"Just what are we suppose to do with these two? If we open the door, they'll die from lack of air..."
"Actually, I bet these bottles we found are air bottles."
"I see a problem here, how are we going to fill this place with air? Would the bottles fill up the place all the way?"
"Also, should we let these fiends out? I mean, they were imprisoned for a reason, right?"
"How about...we vote which girl is hotter and let the winner out?" Suggests Aerian with a smile.
"Seriously though, can we take on one of these ladies if we make the basement breathable and let them out one at a time? We might be able to learn valuable information from them about the tower and its users, as well as those skeletons and killed everyone in the village."
"You're right, they may know what is happening, and would be helpful. I vote we let thenm both out at the same time, as if they kill us, then they can never get out of here, and if they kill each other, then no harm done."
Philip will start examining the glass cages, and the doors leading inside them, for how to open them properly.
"Ok, the way i see it, we first need to seal the basement doors. then we open one, or maybe more of the air bottles, then, once the place fills with air, we open the doors at the same time, right? Does this sound like a plan?"
"I say let them out one at a time. They hate each other and will probably attack on sight. We need them alive to get info. So first the demon, then the devil. Be ready for action, I don't think the ladies will take kindly to us forcing them back in..."
Philip will seal the basement door, then crack one of the air bottles. Once the basement fills with air, then let the demon out of her cell first.
"Ummm, can you tell us who imprisoned you, and why?"
Philip remembers when a beautiful woman would have provoked a response. Being dead certainly had its advantages, he he.
"And we should trust you because..."
"Exactly, so we do not trust you. If you want us to deal with her, then you need to convince us it is worth our while. Or we could let her out..."
"Define, 'deal.'"
"Sorry, no deal. If you want to kill her, then do so yourself."
"Do you hate her on the grounds that she is a devil? Or is there some other reason...?"
"I don't think we are getting anywhere with this one, let's talk to the other one."
Aerian attempts to escort the succubus back into her cage.
If she resists, Aerian will threaten to open the basement door.
Assuming everything goes smoothly, we'll let the erynes out next.
"So, do you have a name?"
