Ellesar falls in behind Charlotte, an arrow knocked in his bow and ready to fire, with Varosh at his side.
As you follow Hakka's tracking, his muttering about Deacons and Horsemen leaving its own trail of sound, you come up to the front door of the main house.
Hakka has stopped at the door and indicated that the trail seems to continue inside.
Pausing outside the door, Charlotte chants a brief invocation while tossing a handful of catnip in the air.

Hakka looks at the door...and smiles. "Always happy when I get to do this." Hakka grins...and then kicks in the door, shouting "Come out daemon! I know your in here!"

The door kicks in with relative ease to Hakka's booted foot. The door jamb bursts in and the door swings open, rattling against the wall. As you look in, you see the same servant from the first time you entered curled up on the ground directly to the left of entrance and whimpering in pain.
Seeing the servant in the hallway, Cilyanka moves to take a defensive position near her.
Thomas, Ylera; check her out.
Let me take a look at you.
Thomas turns the woman over and sees many cuts on her, almost as if she was slashed by a bunch of tiny...things. Realization dawns on him as he tends to the wounds that this looks like the wounds caused by the flies the Leukodaemon spewed forth at the group.
He manages to staunch the bleeding from the woman.
An overwhelming voice sounds inside your heads, Please, leave the useless girl. She is of no concern to my plans. Join me upstairs, won't you?
I think what we're looking for is upstairs.
Hakka nods at the others. "Indeed." Hakka looks up the stairs...and decides maybe another spell might be in order to quicken his movement speed and better see hiding creatures. Afterword, he still slowly makes his way up the stairs, looking for a possible trap or ambush.
Ylera pauses for a moment to lay a Healing Hex on the woman
Ylera's healing has immediate effect, the woman opens her eyes which are wide with fear. Her lip trembles and a tear squeezes from the corner of her eyes. She crawls for a moment before getting her feet and runs out the opened door.
Meanwhile Hakka mutters a pair of spells and starts to ascend the stairs towards the lord of the house's study. The door is open and an imperceptible shadow falls out from the room.
Thank you to the Paizo team for moving this thread over to the PbP boards.
Do you all wish to continue on to the last battle?
I don't see why not.
It's why we're here....
Fun! Hopefully Hakka, Ellesar, and Charlotte see this post still..I'll wait a day and them PM them.
I am ready
But an even better day to kick some demonic tail!
OK I haven't heard back from Ellesar, so someone please feel free to volunteer to use his character.
Perhaps Thomas or Ylera would be the best choice.
I'm willing to do it until Ellesar shows up
Awesome! Thanks Ylera!
There's no traps or ambush that Hakka sees as he goes up the stairs. The door to the study is slightly ajar, but not far enough to see into from the stairs.
Walking through the door behind Hakka, Charlotte briefly surveys the room.
Hakka keeps his scimitar out even as he scans the room, looking for something that might be trying to hide from him. He starts to look through the room even as his eyes shift to a dark black.
Tom follows behind, cautiously.
Charlotte, you detect horrible, monstrous, necromantic magic in the room beyond the door.
Hakka, you see, as you open the door inward, a terrifying tableau. A corpse is staked to the chair behind the desk, its head is missing and various fluids still trickle down the neck hole. Behind the chair stands another creature, like the one you fought upstairs that flew away, only this one exudes a power far greater than that thing. In place of the rotting horse skull, a fresh human skull sits, with bits of hair and flesh still attached to it. The clothing, although stained with blood and excrement, is unmistakably that of your employer's.
The glow of some magical sign, like the one in the Summoner's head, emits from the skull.
A voice booms in your head, causing your knees to buckle ever so slightly, He outlived his usefulness. This pitiful creature could never have empowered me enough to overthrow my master. Now you creatures...you have potential in my plot.
Dammit! Just once I would like to actually get paid for this #@!^
Buzzard boy, If you know what's healthy you'll run before I take my contract fees out of your rotting hide.
The creature swivels the sickening skull to face Charlotte. You, pretty thing, are especially interesting. Come, join me, and you may yet receive payment.
Hakka's knees start to buckle, but he straightens as he looks at the foul creature before him. "Abomination under Seranrae's Light, you will regret interfering in this realm."
The creature merely cocks the skull to 1 side and rolls an especially wicked looking scythe in it's grip.
The scythe you see has the construction properties similar to other weapons of legend that are famous for beheading.
You detect a strong aura of necromancy and transmutation schools of magic from the blade of the scythe.

You detect a moderate aura of the evocation school of magic from the blade of the scythe.
