[QUOTE="Uriel, post: 1166314, member: 8222"] OoC: High on pain killers for my broken knee...trying to tie this one up, so as to move forward with the next story, should any wish to adventure in it.

IC: As the storm rages outside, the Companions usher the woman and her young son down into the Vault past the secret door. As you travel, she speaks quietly [COLOR=yellow]' There is a second secret entrance to this vault at the back of a false keg (really large storage kegs kept below) that also leads in. It is barred from inside and I doubt that even those brutes have the muscle to have forced inside, even if they had the wit to find it.'[/COLOR] The secret door that you pass through has a large bar, and Orson sets it as you head down.At the bottom of the thin staircase leading down, you end in a room perhaps 25 by 25 feet. A desk as well as many crates and barrels line the walls, along with several simple pallets for sleeping. A door (barred from inside) sits against one wall, still intact. Orson holds his crossbow grimly and says that he will lead you about the Mansion, as he knows it like the back of his hand. With the mother and son safely tucked away, you all head back out to secure the mansion. Perhaps two hours of careful searching yeilds three facts. One, there are no Orcs (alive) yet in the mansion. Two, the orcs seem to have looted much and gone on for the most part. Those left in the mansion must have been stragglers. three, there are no bodies of any of the humans that once called the ingarius Vinyards home. Orson says that there were perhaps 20 people in total at this time of year, perhaps double that lived here during the growing Season. Heading outside, you see that the horses are all still teathered, though they roll their eyes wildly at the thunder and lightning. orson says that the Foyer would be large enough for them (once you remove the Orcish bodies), and you bring them inside. Troi (with Thurgan keeping eyes peeled with his Darkvision and Zoe using her Hyrag-Given ability to [I] Detect Evil[/I]) moves around to where the Shapechanger leaped out of the window. Two holes where he landed are visable (though full of rainwater at this point). After about ten yards the tracks clearly go from a two-legged set to a four-legged set...heading West/South-West into the low hills surrounding the estate. The storm becomes more fierce, and you all decide to retire inside, though Troi is frustrated and reluctant to give up the chase. Once all doors are locked and barred, the horses calmed and the place reasonably secure, you return to the Vault where Mrs. Vingarius waits with little Daryn. Sharing your tale over tea and cake (Orson having shown all hwere these things could be found), you tell the survivors of taking the job from Fenton, her husband's dearest friend. Tears of joy spring to her eyes at this, she smiling at how quickly Fenton acted.
