End Round One, Begin Round 2 ...

R2T16: Using his sword, Alexandru attempts to slash the last remaining stirge off of himself, cutting it for 7 and making it drop off of him.

The party is sure to kill the things with great prejudice.

Combat Ends!

[BuckGodot]

Alexandru sags and drops to one knee… ”Ango?” he mutters weakly…

[SwordChucks]

Hargrimm starts to inspect the wounded to gauge the damage.

"Dealt with these things once before. Interrupted a nice night out." he says to no one in particular as he works.

He pulls out the wand from his pack and begins casting.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

Using the Wand of lesser restoration an appropriate number of times until the Con damage is healed.

[Ason]

Marius wipes his dagger against the dead stirge to remove the gore before sheathing the blade and hobbling over to retrieve his dropped polearm.

Marius clutches his side as he leans against the tall weapon and says to Hargrimm, "So these were the monsters you and Othello mentioned that night? Ghastly things. My thanks for helping me just now, and for the restoration. Can I offer you an embiggening elixir as well, by way of thanks?"

Spoiler: OoC

Show

If Hargrimm says yes, Marius will spend 1 minute to mix the extract and give it over to him, with the same warnings as he gave Alexandru regarding its duration and 1-day shelf life.

[Moriar]

Alexandru sags and drops to one knee… ”Ango?” he mutters weakly…

"How are you feeling brother?" Angelo asks. "I can at least clean you up a bit"

Angelo utters some arcane words and patching up his clothing and cleaning the grime up as it magically disappears.

"Would someone be able to help Lexi restore some of his lost blood? My healing tends to only help obvious injuries"

Spoiler: Spit shin

Show

Will use mending to repair any damages in Lexi's clothing and use prestidigitation to clean up any dirt/etc.

[lostsole31]

It takes Hargrimm three uses of the wand to fully restore Angelo, but only one use to restore Marius.

Angelo takes care of cosmetics.

Now what?

[Tippnick]

Zauberei will scan the room with detect magic. He will move to the Northern most spot in the room and rotate clockwise, pausing long enough to get a good enough reading to determine location, number and type of magic.

[Moriar]

"Thank you for fixing up 'ol Lexi," Angelo says to Hargrimm.

"Looks like Zauberi has the magic angle covered, Tippy and I can check with other means."

The hedgehog tattoo once again animates and then helps Angelo search the room for anything of interest.

Spoiler: TP - Angelo >>> Alexandru

Show

"Feeling better brother? If you need other healing let me know. This is a bit more dangerous then we had thought, this adventuring, eh?"

Spoiler: Searching

Show

Tippy and Angelo will use their senses and skills to search the room while the detect magic scan is going on. Will report whatever they find.

Once done searching, Tippy will once again become a tattoo.

[BuckGodot]

Alexandru nods to Hargrimm with a grateful thanks and looks to his brother.

Spoiler: TP: Alexandru>>>Angelo

"I'm fine. Not a scratch, actually... Let's get on with this."

He moves back to Wrens' side for the next section of exploration.

[lostsole31]

Zauberei senses no magic in the mess hall (besides what the PCs have). Marius retrieves his lucerne hammer.

The party does a standard (not deep) search of the entire mess hall, which reveals some more passageways with plenty of doors to the south as well. Still, there is nothing of interest in the mess hall itself.

[Ason]

Breathing in and out deeply to steel himself, Marius says, "Right: onward and upward? If everyone is ready to proceed, let's check out the open space to the south." Gesturing at the rows of doors to the west, he clarifies, "I'd prefer to search this main area to ensure we leave no surprises behind us before we start poking into those smaller rooms over there, I mean to say."

[SwordChucks]

Once he's sure everyone is up to the task, Hargrimm nods his assent to Marius's plan.
"Maybe we should keep the Piper's flute at the ready in case there are anymore of these beasts." he says as he gives a passing kick to a dead stirge. "He was in command of some right?"

[Moriar]

"Lexi, did you hear that?" Angelo asks. "It sounds like with this flute we might be able to keep some of those things as pets! Wouldn't you like that?"

Angelo proceeds to the south following Marius and Hargrimm, keeping a watchful eye out despite missing the likely eye-rolling from his brother.

[BuckGodot]

No eye-rolling. None at all. It's a flat-out glare... Before Alexandru turns and heads back to his position with Wren.

[lostsole31]

The first place explored is what seems to be an old privy.

[BuckGodot]

”Well ****…” says Alexandru with a wry smile and a rare display of his humour.

[lostsole31]

What door is next? The next northern door to the west? The door immediately to the south?

[Moriar]

After wiping away tears from laughing Angelo says, "I knew you should have been a jokester bard brother!:)

"Anyone need to use the facilities? If not, then perhaps the immediate door to the south?"

[BuckGodot]

Alexandru nods his assent for south and walks to the door waiting for Wren.

[SwordChucks]

"Thank the Hearthmother we didn't run into a haunt here." Hargrimm says as he follows the others to the southern door.

[Ason]

Gulping at Hargrimm's unpleasant hypothetical, Marius nods hesitantly and says, "We can check the southern door next, yes, of course. But I do still suggest we clear the southern portion of the main area after, before we delve too far into these smaller rooms, just so we know our backs are safe as we proceed."

[lostsole31]

The southern door is checked and wrenched off of its hinges. In this small room, there is a sound-looking wood-and-iron ladder leading up to a trap door.

What do you do?

[BuckGodot]

Alexandru looks at Wren and back at the trap door... "This is your specialty, I believe?"

[lostsole31]

Wren safety checks the ladder and then climbs up to do the same to the trap door before coming back down. "Unless there's an unseen cupola or the like, since this is the last floor, this is a roof access. You can even feel the cold more against the hinges."

[BuckGodot]

Alexandru says, "Wait... Cold? Are you certain? Don't some undead or shades have an effect on the ambient temperature? Often causing it to drop?"

[Tippnick]

"The ambient temperature was very cold on the way here. I prepared spells for enduring the elements. But we are up here and should look at least", Zauberei comments.

[SwordChucks]

"Shouldn't we put off opening an exterior door? We'll lose what little heat we have in here." Hargrimm says as he subconsciously readjusts his furs.

[lostsole31]

"Remarkably," replies Wren glibly to Lexi, "so does cloud cover on a winter day. No, I'm for continuing the rest of this level."
