Glorious Golden Katheer

Ciprian started examining the body of the Hooded Harbinger that lay upon the decking.  The whole face was covered by a filthy hood and the reek was incredible.  The hands of the creature were a dark mottled skin but each hand held five digits.

Pulling the hood off revealed another layer of stinking, rotten wrappings, he cut the next layer off and beneath was another layer.  At this point he decided to stop trying to figure out what lay beneath and Erevel swung her mighty sword to cut off the head of the monster.

The body exploded in a massive flash of light and concussive force that completely obliterated all evidence of it.

Harbinger of Doom

"I can get some of us out with dimension door," Ciprian began.

"And I can get other out with a teleport, but not everyone," Armania chimed in.

"We don't really want to split the party," interjected Gavril.

"Can't we just pop back in behind the inn?" Erevel queried.

"Not really the dimension door has a limited range," Ciprian answered.

Journey to the Center of the Earth

Erevel grabbed some healing from Ciprian and Ursina as Gavril checked the only door to the north.  No traps or locks were found so Erevel opened the door which led to a ten foot hallway.

Gavril again headed to check for traps.  The party was in a hurry to continue the battle before some of their spells wore off.  Erevel then opened the next door and found a the dark cavern.  The floor was awash in fetid water.  The catwalk was ten feet overhead.  A ladder led to the catwalk on the open side of the catwalk.

Derro hanging from the chains fired crossbow bolts at Erevel and reloaded by bringing the crossbow to their off hand.  They were repeating crossbows.

Derro Overload

Gavril headed to the eastern window as Armania was asking if the angels head could be turned or rotated.

"The windows are just glass, the only way to turn them is to open the whole window," Gavril responded.

Gavril then opened the window revealing a niche containing a candlestick like object holding a depleted sunrod.  Gavril then moved to the western window and again opened it.  Again a niche was revealed but inside was a tunnel lined with heavy paving stones. Occasional iron spikes had been thrust into the seams of the stones to serve as a kind of ladder.

Erevel looked down the tunnel and it finally disappeared into darkness.  Gavril suggested looking at the northern window before exploring the tunnel.  The niche in the north contained a depleted sunrod like the eastern.  Gavril took the sunrod out and tried to move the rod holder but it did not move, he also tried the same on the eastern alcove with the same effect.

Infirmary Deeds

The Hellwasp Swarms flew in through the open cupola windows and attacked Armania and her summoned Bralani.

Armania decided on self preservation, floating down through the trap door which she shut and landed on the floor to enter the fight with the Hollow One.  Ciprian began his Bardic Performance while Erevel, Gavril and Agna each continued their attacks.

As the Hollow One fought back he began sobbing and mumbling "Kill Me! Please end this nightmare.  Kill Me!"

The Creature in the Attic

As the battle raged Gavril moved to flank the three armed Derro, but found that his flanking did no good, neither did his sneak attack.  But he managed to hit the Derro, but took damage from the thorns.

Then the Derro cast a spell and disappeared.  Her ally also cast a spell and disappeared.

"Where did they go?" Paullus bemoaned.

"I'll find them, if they are still in the room," Armania declared as she cast Invisibility Purge revealing the two Derro in the northwest and southwest areas of the room.  Ciprian also appeared next to Gavril.

"They are in the corners behind the skins," Armania stated pointing in those two directions.

The Place of Skin

"Where are we?" Paullus asked in a hushed tone.

"What do you mean?" responded Ciprian

"Last I recall we were on the Sellen Starling getting ready to dock in Cassomir!"

"We are in Cassomir.  Don't you recall the ambush at the docks?" Gavril interjected.

"No.  And what are these ribbons doing in my beard?" Paullus continued confusedly.
