Firvinianna Laali, Half Drow Elven Sorceress

OOC:

Just got access to the site, posting lite in my short available window before bed.

Firvinianna is last down the ladder.

"Whenever you are ready, I am."

The dark skinned elf remains in the back.

Toddy heads off south down the long dark corridor. (anyone without dark vision will need a light source)

Row upon row of ten-foot-square prison cells line the walls, each separated from the passing hallway by a series of iron bars fitted with a narrow iron doors. Skeletons slump in many of the cells, the bones scattered where they lie and coated with a mixed layer of ancient ash and fresh mold.

"What are we looking for in here anyway?" Toddy asks as he finds the area distasteful.

OOC: Party current location. Where the A is on the map.

Firvinianna Laali, Half Drow Elven Sorceress

Not being able to see in the complete darkness, the sorceress casts a light spell to cause her longbow to illuminate the area around her.

Firvinianna looks around with curiosity and keeps an eye looking back towards the other direction. She answers Toddy, "We are looking for anything unusual. That and ghosts and such."

"So these cells have the remains of prisoners left to die, perhaps?"

"We are looking for what would have solved the Professor's puzzle. We don't know what that is until after we have found it."

"Finding the names of the individual prisoners is probably a good idea. There were a few important ones. Searching the cells is probably in order."

Toddy continues moving south and looks around the corner to the east.

HolyMan · Jul 24, 2012

Turning the corner the eidolon sees an old guard post that must have once served as a comfortable assignment.

This guard area is blocked from the cellblock by an arc of iron bars. Within sits an old wooden table and a few chairs.

The plush chairs are sodden and moth eaten and the bars are nearly rusted through.

"I don't see anything that could tell us about these old prisoners," Toddy says as one of his long ears twitches. "But I hear something strange."

[sblock=Perception DC 15]You notice the faint sound of mournful flute music and the eerie flapping of tiny leathery wings.[/sblock]

OOC: Toddy already made the above check.

Firvinianna Laali, Half Drow Elven Sorceress

Getting closer to Toddy, Firvinianna looks and listens. Then she says quietly, "I hear it too. Some sad music from a flute maybe... and the sound of flapping. Not like birds with feathers, more like bats with wings of leather."

"It would appear that something civilized is here at least."

Loh casts her own Light spell on her weapon as they move into the darkness. "Sheesh, might as well carry a banner than says 'Attack me' on it..." grumbles Kee.

"Not all of us are so visually blessed, O Perceptive One..."

As if in illustration of Loh's jab, Kee's ears pick up on the music as they approach the guard area. "I hear it too." She describes the sounds to Loh, who hasn't caught them yet. The half-elf balks. "A winged, sullen-flute playing resident of a haunted prison is your definition of civilized?" she asks Firvinianna incredulously. "Lady, we're from different schools of thought for sure."

Kee clucks her tongue at Loh's ill manners, but is too focused on being prepared to chide her.

[sblock=Actions]Kee Perception: 1d20+13=18

Kee will follow behind Toddy to get a better look at things. Loh will be close behind, but not yet entering the room.[/sblock]

Firvinianna glances at Loh, an eyebrow raised, and replies, "I did not mean to imply civilized qualities to undead or ghosts. I only meant that the beasts and monsters we have seen so far usually don't play music."

The music seems to be coming from the very walls themselves as everyone cocks an ear to listen. But the disembodied dirge and the ghostly wings are not the only things that they hear.

Perception DC 0:
The sound of chains rattling and bones creaking brings the groups attention to the passage they just came down from. Inside all the cells the dead bones of the inmates have taken on new life as the animate and start to rise and move.

Fortunately most of the cells are still shut and locked, but a few of the doors are open and their occupants now in some twisted way are freer than when they were living.

OOC: Surprise Round over. I will roll the groups INIT please apply your modifier to the roll. Also at the start of each of your turns roll a DC 14 WILL save or become shaken for that round.

INIT: Skeletons 21, Piper 15,

HolyMan · Jul 28, 2012

OOC: Looks like Skeletons are up first.

The undead inmates waste no time in surrounding the group and raking at everyone within reach with their claws.

[sblock=Crunch]
5' step from C-20 to C-19 and full attack on Halál
10' move from D-21 to D-19 (cover provides no AoOs) one claw vs Marshan
charge C-13 to C-17 one claw attack vs Halál
30' move C-11 to D-17 one claw attack vs Firvin

Results:
Halál hit twice for 2d4+4 = 7 pts dmg[/sblock]
