    "Motherfu--" Cecie shouts, biting off the profanity at the last second, grabbing at her arm. Her eyes narrow dangerously, and her blood pounds in her ears. It'd been a while since she'd actually been hurt, and that had hurt like hell.

    "Why me?! I didn't even touch your stupid gold!" Cecie shouts, spinning in place. And here, she drops into Sylvan, having a guess as to what was assaulting them - or at least, the vague idea of what sort of creature would do something like that. After all, she came from a place full of pranksters.

    "You really wanna go down this road? There's one of you and four of us, and I'm pretty sure one of us is immune to pretty much every trick up your sleeve. You wanna come out and talk to us, or you wanna get ganked the moment someone clues in on your invisibility? Because I guarantee at least one of us can see invisible creatures, and I got a lot of spells for throwing around sticky dust that'll make you show up. You come out, talk to us, and I promise by the Fae I won't let my companions murder you. You keep up this redcap-level nonsense and you'll be dead by the end of the day. Probably sooner."

    Readied action to cast glitterdust centered on the area of the attacked person (if someone gets attacked next), Will DC 19 to avoid being blinded if it hits the invisible creature (and the unfortunate person who also gets cast on), but no save to avoid getting outlined in shiny dusts.

    Livia glances at Cecie's arm in concern before swiftly flying over. "May I?" she asks, but she doesn't bother waiting for a response and lays two fingers over the wound. Cecie's wound immediately begins to heal, but the cost is immediately clear as an identical wound forms on Livia's arm, though less severe than Cecie's had been.

    "I would take her at her word, oh mysterious assailant. She is rather gleefully prone to fiery violence."

    We may not be in combat yet, but just in case: swift action Health Sense to determine party member's HP values, move to Cecie, a free action transferring her Fast Healing 3 to Cecie for the round Via Collective Healing, a standard action to Transfer Wounds, healing Cecie Healing - (2d6+7)[18]HP, and dealing the value of the rolled dice (but not the extra 7 HP) to Livia.

    [Detect magic you mean, it's not really much use on anything that moves, they leave the cone before you're done pinpointing the location, same issue with detect undead, detect evil and most other spells with detect in the name. Not that I'm much better, I've got glitterdust of course, but that needs me to know where to aim.]

    Cecie has healed to max hp minus 1. For reasons that are not clear, the wound does not quite heal fully, though it should have. Feel free to make a Heal check on Discord to see what Livia can figure out.


    Tense seconds pass with the party still waiting in the hallway, but there is no second attack. At least not yet.

    There is nothing in the hallway. The only things you see are the closed door leading out into the smoke filled garden and the doorless doorways leading into empty rooms along the hallway. There are doors leading further away from the hallway in those rooms, but all the ones you have seen have been closed.

    Cecie stares down at the mark left on her arm from the mostly-healing, eyes narrowing slightly. Okay, that wasn't right.

    [Alright. That wasn't the least bit entertaining. And if this scars I'm going to reach up this guy's anus and tear out his tonsils.] The colorful emotional backdrop to Cecie's telepathy flashes through an array of neon emotions of anger and annoyance. [There's not a lot we can actually do right now to stop this guy.] As she speaks, she flutters her altered wings and flits towards the door, peeking out to keep an eye on the hedge maze. [Soon as the maze is burnt down, though, we're going through. We should focus on punching into the center of the dungeon as fast as possible and outrunning this guy unless he shows himself.]

    Another deep gash appears along Cecie's arm. She takes 19 points of damage.

    Sundrop sees nothing unusual despite the magic's aid, not even a projectile.

    You said we're in a hallway. What does it look like? Just straight down into the mansion? Any doors, windows, any other openings this could come from? If it's just a hallway, I'll fly down one way, and back the other, 50 feet each way, covering both sides.

    Livia's eyes narrow as the second gash appears. [There is an evil to this that is beyond my ability to full heal, at least at the moment, and without more information. Though... if we have yet to identify the cause of the attacks, they may be magical in nature... Let me take a look.

    Also, if we are being attacked in a manner we can't detect, this may be of use. It will hinder things being cast into or within it, but it should help protect us.

    Free action to divert Fast Healing 3 to Cecie. Standard Action spending 2 pp to manifest and augment Detect Psionics with a duration of 18 rounds, and with no contraction required; going to start examining Cecie. Free action to pull up the Protective Aura, granting +4 deflection to AC/+4 resistance vs saves and effects of evil creatures, as well as the Lesser Globe of Invunerability.

    Had to make sure to do those in the right order or the Globe would've prevented the Detect Psionics

    Sundrop sees nothing new and does not run into anything as he zooms up and down the hallway.

    Like the first wound, this one refuses to fully heal. Cecie will cap out at max hp -2. Detect Psionics reveals that there is an ongoing, supernatural effect on Cecie that is not supposed to be there.

    [I've no objection to exploring; I can heal just as well on the move. Especially considering that idly standing around in dungeons has now been proven to be a bad idea. I'd say let's try to keep track of whatever twists and turns we make, but I imagine it would be a simple matter to keep track of unless the dungeon decides to be difficult, in which case keeping track will likely be pointless...]

    Cecie grumbles to herself. Why was she being targeted? Could it be the shard? Well. Maybe. But she doesn't have any better suggestions, either, so she follows along into the room, twitching nervously at the corners of her eyes, expecting another nasty slash at any moment.

    The whole party enters one of the rooms, and... nothing happens. There seems to be nothing sinister or suspicious here. No hidden doors, no poison coating the door handles. When someone opens the next door, for a brief moment Sundrop catches sight of a creature, veiled in invisibility. It is small, about as big as Vhaak, but wrinkled and menacing. A Fey creature, dressed in green with a strange hat. Dried blood permeates one of its sleeves, and it's holding a scythe. When it realizes Sundrop can see it it flashes a brief, bright smile and disappears into thin air.

    Cecie takes 20 points of damage as a third wound appears on her arm.

    "Fffffffffffffff--!" Cecie snarls. She was officially done. "Alright, then, you reprobate! Have some gods-be-damned GLITTER!" And she hurls ground mica out of her pouch and speaks the arcane words that transform the glittering mica in the air into a sudden blanket of glowing dust in the area surrounding her. Potentially blinding herself, she was not playing games with this thing anymore.

    Init of 34 for Cecie.
    Glitterdust centered on Cecie, possibly fast enough to catch the damn thing before it can run from her, 10ft radius, and of course Cecie needs to save against her own spell.
    DC 19 Will save to avoid being blinded, but no save for the glitter.
    Will Save - (1d20+6)[9]


    Covered in glitter, and having just blinded herself Cecie rubs briefly at her eyes. "Agh! Give me coordinates and I'll burn the little bastard into cinders if you see him!" she shouts, her hand already in her component pouch again.

    A plan formulated to glitterdust the little bastard the next time he reveals himself, the party waits for tense seconds. But the creature does not strike. Seconds turn to minutes, and if anyone searches there is no trace of the thing. Maintaining a greater degree of paranoia the party returns to waiting for the hedge maze to burn down completely, and though it takes quite a while, the smoke finally does begin to clear. Where exactly it went is... not clear. Did the dungeon eat it? Though it's not entirely gone, you can now breathe on the other side of the door.

    The maze reduced to ashes, the garden is considerably large than before, albeit not very pleasant to look at. The scorched landscape has lost all colour and there is a layer of soot covering the sky.

    A new path forward has revealed itself, however. Other than the steps leading down into what looks like a cellar under the mansion there is now also a wide hole at what must have been the center of the maze, leading down into darkness. It is about 30 feet wide. There is no natural light below, nor are there any signs of monsters or traps near the top of the hole.

    The hole seems to lead straight down, at least initially. It doesn't look like a particularly hard climb for those who have any experience in that, but it would be quite a long fall for anyone who lost their grip. The hole extends beyond the range of Vhaak's darkvision.
