Valanar takes teo potions a flask of holy water and one of the haunt siphons. "I'm beginning to feel like an alchemist." he kids as Bella and Kendra finish identifying some of Piedra's arrows. They both have trouble and when done neither knows what those last arrows can do.

"We have a few things left," the paladin says pointing to the flasks on the table. "Best to divide them up should we get seperated. Piedra, Elthos why don't each of you take one of the last haunt siphons. Maybe not to use but to carry. Same for the holywater. Triessa, Szare, and Bella each take one of these best not to put all are eggs in one basket."

The group leaves The Lorrimor House as prepared as they can be. With weapons in hand and spells focused in their heads they travel south to the burnt out shell that was once prison for five special prisoners that they need to find out more about.

Harrowstone sits on a large hill about a mile south form Ravengro. From the hilltop everyone can see the homes and chimney smoke of the quiet little town. The large central two story structure with it's sagging roof and mostly destroyed eastern wing can be seen through a large gap in the wall near a stagnate pool of calm water.

An overgrown path leads to a set of gates flanked by walls covered in creeping brown ivy.

A sagging wood and metal gate set between a pair of stone guard towers once barred entrance into Harrowstone, but the gates now hang negligently open, creaking softly in what wind touches the ruined bars.
The party stands before the old gates but other options are available to enter the grounds of Harrowstone.

"Looks quaint," Bella blurts out, as she views the prison. She looks past the walls to the water, stagnant and still.

"Anyone care to go through the front door? I would rather check out the area around the prison, make sure we know where we are headed."


Waiting for the others to decide, she checks to see if Ven can sense any movement nearby.
 

Ven shakes his body to indicate nothing is about. The empathic link shared by the witch and the scorpion indicates Ven is rather excited to be exploring the unknown.
 

Triessa chews her bottom lip nervously and glances at Szare. The large 'man' has no advice though as he gazes serenely at the prison from under his cowl. Finally she nods at Bella.

"Nothing to be lost by circling 'round and seeing if there's a hole in the wall or somesuch," she agrees. "Nothing but time, and we've plenty of that for now. Though I'm not sure I want to be here when the sun goes down."
 

"I agree. If we know where other entrances are, they can be easily converted to exits. Let us be careful then." Elthos advises, getting his sword at the ready. The holy water hung close enough to grab with his other hand, ready to be flung if needed.
 

"Right if everyone is ready, I'll check for tracks as we circle round. Let's see if we can find where the professor went in." says Piedra. He then slowly walks clockwise around the prison carefully examining the floor for tracks.

[sblock=action]Follow or identify tracks +9. Take 10 for 19.[/sblock]
 

Bella walks with Piedra, Ven close at her side. "Make sure you let us know if you sense anything, Ven."

Ven snaps twice, showing that he understands and will relay any unknown people by repeating this action for the others to take note of. "He says that if you see him snap twice, then be aware there is something out there."

She then looks at Piedra, adding, "Hold still, this won't hurt..."

Removing a few of the centipede legs, she chooses four of them, and rubs them in her fingers. When they become almost an ashen consistency, she moves to Piedra, draws a symbol onto her the armor, and comments, "There, good as new. That should help..."

[sblock=Hex]+2 Deflection AC, +2 on saves until hit or fail a save.
Ven has tremorsense, will alert everyone with 2 snaps of claws as well as Bella.[/sblock]
 

Piedra finds a lot of tracks leading in and out of the front gate. But the newest ones are at least twenty or more days old. That corresponds to the time Professor Lorrimor said he was going to come to Harrowstone and see what The Whispering Way cultist were up to.

All the tracks in and around Harrowstone are that old or older. Besides climbing the walls there are two ways to get unto the grounds.

The front gate which has a path leading to a dilapidated home and the prisons front doors. Or through the calm waters of the pond to the eastern rear corner of the prison that stands open.
