[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 59590, member: 23"] Greetings The next entry, with more coments from the bard Minn that was accompanying us. [b]Wake of the Slayer[/b] Session 6 26 Patchwall, 580 CY, Delcouth Morning dawned, as it usually did, and we headed into town. Our first priority was to check the stage. It was completely whole, and untouched, as though our work yesterday had not happened. We spent a large part of the morning crushing corpses, and decided we would check on the Chapterhouse after lunch. [COLOR=silver]1[/COLOR] Before we headed that way, Cedric attempted to exorcise the presence afflicting the stage. "Oh mighty St. Cuthbert, dispel this fell Miasma" Nothing happened. We shrugged and continued on. On arrival at the Chapterhouse, we found the door barred from the inside. Climbing to the next level revealed that the window we'd opened before was also blocked from the inside. Darcius climbed his way up and hammered on the window until it opened. Inside the room, we found all the furniture had been used to barricade the window. And lo and behold, the rooms door was also barricaded. This trend continued all through the building. The only room not barricaded was the main hallway, but we were blocked on the way out by a pile behind the front door. We thought it best to have a quick escape route, so half of us set to work clearing a pathway out the front door, and the other half started bashing their way through into the kitchen. It seemed that whatever had done this wanted to keep us out of the kitchen. Being adventurers we immediately set to work going there. [COLOR=silver]2[/COLOR] While exploring the building, we found a small armory. We followed the advice of Cedric and armed ourselves with maces. Isaac also took a chirt of chain mail and put it on. Our escapades went on until the way out was open and the kitchen was waiting for us to explore. We went in and eventually turned to the root cellar which had been explored by Oliver on our previous visit. Flipping open the door to the cellar we were assailed by a charnel stench. After listening carefully, we heard a shuffling in the darkness below, as though a creature were waiting. Minn pointed out that some of the undead could be active in daylight if underground or close to the grave. We discussed our options and decided on a frontal assault. Cedric could use the powers granted to him by his god to protect us and Galen began singing a song of bravery. [COLOR=silver]3[/COLOR] Immediately upon dropping into the cellar, Isaac and Darcius were assaulted by about a dozen skeletons. They found themselves hindered by the low ceeling, and took several nasty gashes from the skeletons' claws. They managed to push the undeads back with a few telling blow from the newly aquired maces.
