Wrath of the Righteous 2 [3.5]

[Cavir]

"Thank you, that helped perfectly. From where they knocked on the wall I'd say the door to the left next. Shouldn't give them too much time to prepare. I'm ready to go."

[RolandDeschain]

Trawyn

Stepping toward Tellos, the bard repeats the incantation and places his hands on the warrior's shoulders.

Sorry CWater, I hadn't realized that your PC was Ranger 2/Druid 2...I should spend a little more time familiarizing myself with everyone's capabilities. I've got the healing covered, so don't sweat it. Healing Hymn doesn't effect the wand because it only adds to curing spells that have a dice roll. Don't get me wrong, though, keep that wand handy we're bound to need it sooner or later.

Cure Light Wounds on Tellos - (1d8+11)[15]

Apologies for posting in such quick succession, but I agree that we shouldn't tarry here....let's keep moving.

Tellos
Thank you. I could not have taken another solid blow.

Seeing that Trawyn has got the healing covered, Alamryn follows Jemus, though she keeps a bit of distance as as not to disturb him.

Aid Another Perception, if allowed: (1d20+8)[23]

If any of the mutant's is injured, Alamryn will also offer to use the healing wand on them.

[RolandDeschain]

Trawyn

Letting the soft notes of spring fade, the bard grabs his sword and nods to Tellos and Semult, "I'm certain there will be more blood spilled this day....demon blood that is." Motioning to where Jemus has moved forward, "Onward?"

Looking back at the mutants set to watch the doors behind them he motions to his eyes, "Stay vigilant and sound the alarm if they move to surround us."

[Novabomb]

Tellos
Indeed. and he moves into the room whos threshold he was at.

[Cavir]

Semult moves up tot the door and offers to open it for the rest. Once he gets the nod he opens the door and steps back.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

Move to L9 to open the door then step back to L10.

[Kish]

You hear weird giggling noises from the east as you move into the building. The mutants decline Alamryn's offer; none of them are injured.

Jemus determines that the door he and Semult are investigating is locked.

[razorback]

Jemus nods to Semult as he kneels and starts to work on the lock.

Search is indeed part of Perception now.

Jemus finds the lock resists his efforts.

[Cavir]

Semult sees Jemus struggling with the lock. "No huh? You heard that giggling coming from that way? Seems they are coming through that door by Tellos or expecting us to. Break down a different door or break through the wall direct to the gigglers?"

[razorback]

With a disappointed shake of his head Jemus says "No, this lock is a bit beyond my meager skills. If we go through that door, they will probably be waiting. One or two of us can probably get through this door in short order, I suppose."

[RolandDeschain]

Trawyn

Motioning to Jemus and Semult, then moving back to where Tellos waits, "Have you tried the door?"

[razorback]

As the others mill about, Jemus tries the lock again, this go around taking his time.

Spoiler

Show

Taking 20, for 33 on the lock.

[Kish]

Two minutes later, the lock clicks open.

[Cavir]

Semult was anxious as they group waited on Jemus, all the while the enemy had time to prepare or get help. On signal, he pulls the door open so that he'll be behind the door as it opens.

[RolandDeschain]

Trawyn

Growing impatient, the bard moves back to the other room and looks in just as Jemus gets the door unlocked. Turning to Tellos, "Psst! Wyne and the others can secure this room while we investigate over there with the others."

Trawyn waits for Tellos but a moment, then moves in with his sword drawn as Semult opens the door.

Spoiler: OC

Show

Don't want to be Mr. Bossy Pants, just trying to move us along here.

MOVE TO M8

[Kish]

The western door Semult picked the lock of swings open, revealing a staircase leading up. Blood spatters the once-beautiful wallpaper.

Meanwhile, behind the eastern door, the giggling continues; it seems unconcerned with what you're doing, and it's nearly unimaginable that anything behind that door wouldn't have heard the sounds of the recent battle.

[CWater]

"That's really disturbing", Alamryn says, referring to the giggling. "But it doesn't sound like it's a real person, I mean wouldn't they have done something by now?"

She looks to the bloodspattered stairwell. "Should we go up?"

[Novabomb]

Tellos
Yes. Let us hope that are presence has not been transmitted ahead.
(He leads the way)

[Kish]

As Tellos climbs to the top of the stairs, he sees a wide, debris-littered hallway. A door in the southeast wall slams shut.

I've added what you can see of the second floor to the map.

[razorback]

"That's really disturbing", Alamryn says, referring to the giggling. "But it doesn't sound like it's a real person, I mean wouldn't they have done something by now?"

She looks to the bloodspattered stairwell. "Should we go up?"

"Yeeeah... pretty sketchy, to me..." Jemus mutters as Tellos bounds past him.

Tellos
Yes. Let us hope that are presence has not been transmitted ahead.

"Small chance of that now, I suppose. Everyone get ready, we aren't done here." he calls back in a low voice as he stalks up the stairs slowly, swords out.

[RolandDeschain]

Trawyn

The bard follows behind Tellos and Jemus up the stairs.

[CWater]

Alamryn climbs up with the others, she has an arrow nocked ready for when they inevitably meet more demons or cultist.

[Cavir]

Semult stays with the group and climbs the stairs.

[Kish]

Irabeth and the mutants join you at the top of the stairs. There doesn't seem to be any further potential enemy movement here, for the moment.

[RolandDeschain]

Trawyn

Motioning Wyne over, "Put two at the bottom of the stairs.....doesn't feel like it's big secret that we're here, so if anything comes their way have them shout out to us."

Slipping past the others, the bard moves east down the hall, stopping to peer around the corner, before looking back at the others and indicating the two southeast doors.

Spoiler: OC

Show

Move to AD8

Point to the doors at AA10 and AE10, presuming it was one of them that just slammed shut....

[Kish]

Around the corner, Trawyn sees a room where four people in chain shirts, with scythes at their sides, stand around a large hexagonal table, sorting through stacks of scrolls, books, and maps. Their backs are to you and they seem, somehow, too intent on their task to have noticed you yet. The walls are painted with detailed maps of Sarkoris, over which features of the Worldwound have been painted. One of the people in the room yawns.

[RolandDeschain]

Trawyn

Eyes wide, Trawyn ceases his motions to the opposite doors and instead points demonstrably at the doorway he's adjacent to then raises four fingers high in the air and points at his armor and weapon....attempting to silently communicate to the party four armed and armored figures.
