Gavril and Ursina drug the undead guard into the small room which was now crowded. The group searched all the bodies and the rest of the room finding nothing else.
"Should we go down to the lower level here?" asked Gavril.
"If something was down there they would have already come up to find out what the noise was we were making," declared Erevel.
"Maybe we should check out the towers before we head down to the lower level," suggested Armania.
"I don't see any activity, on the parapets or from the front doors," said Paullus.
"Should we continue looking in the loops?" queried Ursina while moving further eastward around the fort.
"How many of these arrow loops are there? Erevel asked. "Maybe I could just climb up to the parapets instead."
The stormy skies and rain made it rather dark outside even in the early morning as the group continued peering at the Fort really hoping that their intrusion would be accepted as locals wandering close to the fort.
"We need to find out what those Merrow were eating. Let's head to the street to see if they have cleaned up yet," Armania suggested.
"Surely they were feasting on the humans in town," answered Gavril with a smirk on his face.
"Now, now, let's not assume anything," Ciprian answered. "We just need to go check it out."
The creature was huge, twenty feet tall, no telling how much it weighed. Gavril fired his bow at the creature and then readied to flank the monster as it moved up toward the party.
Paullus moved forward and fired his crossbow, hitting the creature. The attack actually seemed to do damage, which the party appreciated given their last fight against the incorporeal spirit.
Armania was ready as she moved into view and webbed the huge creature.
Erevel again felt the pain of a claw rake her skin. She breathed a sigh of relief as the second claw missed her as she was not sure she could survive another.
Armania, not wishing to lose a spell, cast an acid dart which found its mark on the Revenant. Ursina followed quickly with another disrupt undead.
Erevel again swung her mighty sword hitting squarely home, but not inflicting the damage she wished. After she took a five foot step away to hopefully avoid another claw attack.
Gavril sneaked back to the barricade aware that the canines had probably notice him.
"We should wait here and make them come to us one at a time," he declared.
"You mean we aren't going to go in a fight whatever is in there?" queried Erevel completely confused.
"If we make them fight us one at a time it will be easier," answered Gavril.
"I can get rid of this 'doomsayer'," injected Gavril. "That's my specialty!"
"Maybe he'll go with us on the boat to the cave," added Erevel, "He doesn't have to make it there. It's a large lake."
"Now we really only have to get him to stop spouting this nonsense," Ciprian said in despair. "No one said we had to kill him."
The party was in 'deep' discussion after their meeting with Cesadia. They were heading toward The Stain to get a bite to eat and a drink.
