Chloé Clement High Elf Artificer AC: 12 HP: 17/17 PP: 13 PIv: 15 PIs: 11 Conditions: -- Concentrating: -- Chloé didn't hesitate in acting, swiftly grabbing up the Decanter and strapping it over her shoulder, right next to her satchel of pre-made potions. Even just having it close seems to fill her with an inner will of strength, and a readiness to act. She's quietly glad that her family isn't in attendance, but the knowledge that others she knows and cares about are now in danger doesn't reassure her any. They needed to help, but they needed to be smart about it. There was no sense in getting themselves killed through rushing.

With the Vampire Killer in hand, the familiar weight of its metal chain giving off a faint warmth, Cassandra becomes more focused. She flourishes the whip, getting a sense of its balance and turns to the others. "We are the hunters, not the hunted. Once we've ensured everyone else is safe, it's about time we stepped up to the plate. Holding the line isn't enough. We must push back against the darkness."

She turns to Vidrick, "I'll come with you. There's no sense in any of us going anywhere alone. Strength in numbers and all that."

Sabian Skellegue Half-Orc Barbarian AC: 14 HP: 23/23 PPer: 13 PInv: 10 PIst: 11 Conditions: --

Lost in his thoughts, the heavy thump and shaking floor startles Sabian. A look of confusion passes over his face as Adrian peers around with a, presumably, magic lens.

The half-elf pauses, then his voice goes serious as he stares through the walls at something only he can see. He starts speaking with more focus and energy.

“Ignore what I said. Pick up your ancestors’ tools. You’re not ready to wield them, but you don’t have a choice. There’s a dragon in the courtyard, one wreathed in shadow, and I see a fiendish wizard with him… Yugoloths? They’ve blanketed the courtyard with poisonous clouds.”

He touches his shirt. It shifts its appearance, revealing it to be a black set of leather armor adorned with spiderwebs, and pulls a bow out from one of his vest pockets. “My generation are all about dead now, and they’ll be expecting to find me. The wards on the building may hold them outside for a few minutes, but not more than that, and everyone else who could fight them was probably outside.”

He points at the five youngsters. “You, take these weapons and make sure they don’t fall into the hands of evil, whatever it is. You probably have time to stop and grab some supplies on your way out, but don’t take too long. Stay low, get away, and try to get help. If no help is to be found, get some vengeance instead. Here’s a key to the door in the back hallway on the ground floor, if you don’t want to go out the back windows.” He tosses a key to Sabian.

Sabian catches the key and as Adrian kicks open a window, Sabian calls out Adrian!... Godspeed!

Sabian grabs the shield and can immediately feel the connection to the implement. The others are also grabbing their legacy items. Vidrik, crossbow and stakes in hand, says "I'm going to the armory to get some armor and a sword. Let's meet there. If anyone needs to go somewhere else, do you need me to find you anything in the armory? Don't worry about food. I can keep us fed. We need waterskins though. Hopefully there are some adventuring supplies in the armory, but if you see backpacks and waterskins, grab them."

Sabian responds, I think we need to stick together Vidrik. Let's grab anything here in the library that could be of use. Then I agree, the armory should be our next stop. It doesn't sound like we have much time.

Spoiler: Search the library

Sabian (and others?) will search the library for anything useful.

Mustafa the Vampiralgietch Human Cleric AC: 10 HP: 17/17 PP: 13 PIv: 10 PIs: 13 Conditions: -- Concentrating: --

Mustafa was looking forward to hear more from Master Adrian when he felt the world shake under his feet.
"Fear not, brothers and sisters. Our Order is still strong! Our walls are massive and our courage is unwavering." Mustafa wished he could believe his words. With all they had learned about the current state of the Belmonte Order tonight, and Adrian's permission to take on these legendary treasures, it was clear the situation was dire. He immediately thought about his numerous siblings, probably already fighting and risking their lives out there in the courtyard.

He picked up the Holy Symbol that once had been wielded by his ancestors, a Mithral scepter with a Moon-and-Star on the top, and forced himself to stop admiring it for now. Without wasting any more time, he started searching the Library for other useful treasures, throwing books around without any care. "Do we know what we're looking for? Master Adrian, are there more treasures stored here in the Library?"

[J-H]

As the old man rushes to the window, he calls back "Spell scrolls, books..." then seems to forget what he was answering. "What do I have in here, twenty-five enchanted arrows? That's plenty."

Minutes 1-2: Check the library
Checking the spells and arcana section, Cassandra and Chloe find the following:
Spell scrolls: Cure Wounds, Mass Healing Word, Divine Favor, Grease, Magic Missile, Gentle Repose, Flaming Sphere, Magic Circle
Scroll copying inks and tools worth 525gp.

Looking at other areas, you do find the Monster Encyclopedias of the Order. Each is a collection of books, and is thus heavy and bulky. Do you take them? If so, who will carry and study them?
Encyclopedia of Undead: Auto-pass checks to identify undead immunities and vulnerabilities by type. 10 lbs.
Encyclopedia of Monsters: Auto-pass checks to identify dragon and monstrosity immunities and vulnerabilities by type. 10 lbs.

Minutes 3-4: Move down to the Armory
The hallways are clear as you jog out of the library, down the stairs, and into the armory on the second floor.

Minutes 5-6: Pick up items from the Armory
The armory is a large L-shaped room, lit by yellow mage-lights attached to the ceiling. It includes not just storage for arms and armor, but also a large maintenance and repair area. A suit of full plate is currently disassembled on a table in this area, with the gauntlets pulled completely apart and soaking in a bath of oil.

Storage cabinets along the wall also contain useful equipment for soldiering, including picks, shovels, rope, tents, healer’s kits, equipment packs, and other tools.

The armory contains at least two of every type of mundane armor or weapon that the party could desire aside from full plate.

It also contains:
Healer’s Kits (5) (3lbs each)
Caltrops (15)
Ball Bearings (6)
Hunting traps (4) (25lbs. ea)
Explorer’s Packs (as per PHB)
Tents, torches, tinderboxes, etc.
+1 Shortsword
+1 Spear
400 arrows
200 crossbow bolts
Wyvern Hide Armor (Hide +1, resist poison, no attunement)
Half Plate of Cold Resistance (no attunement)
Shield of Fire Resistance (no attunement)

It takes 1 minute to put on light armor, 5 to put on medium armor, and 10 to put on heavy armor. If everyone puts on light armor, I need to add 1 minute to the timer for that.

Who takes what? Be sure to update your character sheets, and possibly post OOC for future reference.

Vidrik Oakheart Wood Elf Ranger AC: 13 HP: 20/20 PPer: 16 PInv: 11 PIst: 14 Conditions: --

Vidrik waits for everyone to gather what they need from the library and then leads the way to the armory. He grabs a explorer pack, happy to have the rations instead of having to eat goodberries every day. He gathers as many more large crossbow bolts as he can carry. If no one else wants them, he takes the caltrops and ball bearings. Finally, he finds a nice set of dark leather armor with protective studs sown inside it that looks exactly his size. He'll still be able to move quickly in this.

"We should take the time to put on the armor?"

It's statement, but with just a little bit of doubt as he waits for the others' responses. If no one objects, he puts on the armor while the others continue to search the room.

Cassandra Hartdegen High Elf Wizard Bladesinger 2 HP: 12/12, AC: 15 Conditions: None Spells: 1st - 3/3 Bladesongs: 2/2

From the library, Cassandra packs both encyclopedias and all the spell scrolls and materials for copying them into a backpack for study later. It would take far too long for her to peruse any of it right now but all of it will be valuable nonetheless.

When the party reaches the Armoury, Cassandra grabs some studded leather armour for herself and a healing kit but leaves the rest for the others. She can't use any of the more unique armour and with the Vampire Whip in hand she doesn't need another weapon. She then puts on the armour.

She hesitates for a moment while looking at the armour - Wyvern Hide wasn't exactly the style she'd have chosen for herself, but now wasn't exactly the time to be picky. She straps herself into the thick scaly leather, and then quickly moves on to gathering the rest of their gear.

Sabian Skellegue Half-Orc Barbarian AC: 14 HP: 23/23 PPer: 13 PInv: 10 PIst: 11 Conditions: --

Sabian helps Cassandra load the books that she identifies into her pack, and the group makes off to the armory. The hallways are empty, and Sabian hopes to the gods that nona and the others were not in the courtyard, but were elsewhere, and made it out okay.

Once in the armory, the group takes stock of what's available. We should each carry a healing kit. Everyone grab a tent and some packs, no telling when and where we will be able to stop. He moves along, grabbing tools and other items, and finds himself standing before a suit of enchanted half-plate. The reality of their situation, of the plight of the Order, seems to fall on him, having been suspended in the air through the urgency. They will have to fight, one way or another, and there was no telling who from the Order would be able to help them. As if the same thought occurred to him, Vidrik says, "We should take the time to put on the armor?" It's not a question, but a realization, like Sabian's.

Sabian nods, Yes, we have to, he looks to the others, There's no telling what we're going to face out there. He puts the other items down, This will take me a moment to put on, he says, stripping down to his undergarments, maybe you guys can find some other stuff in the guests quarters or officers quarters? While the halls are still clear.

Vidrik Oakheart Wood Elf Ranger AC: 13 HP: 20/20 PPer: 16 PInv: 11 PIst: 14 Conditions: --

Donning his armor quickly, Vidrik doesn't fault Sabian for taking longer. He knows the half-orc needs better protection and will hopefully keep the enemies from getting to a back line. He nods at Sabian's suggestion.

"Yes. We'll go check the officer quarters. Maybe there's something helpful there."

He goes out in the hall to move towards the officer quarters.

[J-H]

Minutes 7-11
While Chloe, Sabian, and Mustafa strap into heavier armors, Vidrik and Cassandra move to check through the officer's quarters (1 minute move/4 minutes to search since only ~ 1/2 the part, so it works out well timing wise). The six individual bedrooms of the Officer’s Quarters are locked, as is the common area. Vidrik carries thieves tools and unlocks several of the doors, but unfortunately it appears that the whatever personal weapons or tools those who lead the order's troops carry are with them. The common area has comfortable chairs and an area that hosts small meetings, games of strategy, and the like, but nothing of use to you.

Around minute 10, there's a thumping and vibrations from below, as though something large has walked into the Great Hall. Both parts of the group emerge into the hall at minute 11, only to come face to face with animated skeletons. Their bones are yellow-grey with age, but the skeletons do bear weapons, and move to attack...

[J-H]

Chloe and Cassandra swing open the doors, and are the first to spot the skeletons. The Order has been invaded! Worse, there's a thumping and thudding sound of clumsy movement in the side hallways. Any of you who have dealt with zombies recognize the eerie groans made by air being forced in and out of inactive lungs by movement.

When the skeletons approach, Cass does not shrink. She holds her ground, unclasps the Vampire Killer and pulls it taut. The humming of the whip intensifies, almost as if it's singing. "Come on Vid, it's time to to see what the forces of darkness are made of. We make for the others."

She then steps out into the hallway and unleashes her whip towards the skeleton ahead.

The Vampiralgietch couldn't see all the battlefronts his brothers and sisters-in-arms were fighting on, but he could hear the loud crack of the Vampire Killer. Even the sound of such weapon inspired courage in his spirit, and he charged at the skeleton right outside the armory.

"We press on!" Mustafa cried out loud, his armor clanking with every step. He had gotten rid of his fine silks - What a waste! - and thrown a thick padded gambeson over his smallclothes, before he donned the chainmail and plates that composed his suit of armor. "For the joy of killing is in our hearts! We slay them! We kill them!"

Cassandra Hartdegen High Elf Wizard Bladesinger 2 HP: 12/12, AC: 18 Conditions: None Spells: 1st - 2/3 Bladesongs: 1/2

Seeing the zombies gathering at either end of the hallway, she says to Vidrick, "We'd best start thinning them out as we regroup."

The Vampire Killer then begins to glow red hot as Cassandra sweeps it towards the cluster of zombies and a wave of flame engulfs them all.

,"This thing is amazing!" she exclaims, before regaining her composure and heading towards the others, keeping an eye on Vidrick to ensure he remains close behind.

Vidrik watches in awe as Cassandra engulfs the zombies in fire. He stows his sword, and retreats alongside her, firing a stake from his crossbow at the nearest one.

"Let's get to the others."

Holding her position behind her fellow scions, she tugs a sickly green vial out and lobs it over their heads towards the back row of enemies - all the better to weaken them before they get close.

Mustafa the Vampiralgietch Human Cleric AC: 17 HP: 17/17 PP: 13 PIv: 10 PIs: 13 Conditions: -- Concentrating: --

As Mustafa burst through the wall, he glimpsed the holy inferno that Cassandra unleashed at the enemies. Inspired by that might, he raised his new holy symbol and cried the ancient words of an incantation that couldn't be translated without butchering the meaning, but roughly meant "Return to hell, creatures of the night."
