Carrion Crown AP (The Deadwatchers) - IC

Piedra moves to check the mold, the walls, and floor. He notices nothing out of the ordinary and the mold is not dangerous. So he is shocked when he hears Valanar ask...

"Did it suddenly get cold in here?"

Triessa and Szare who are near the bars along with the paladin can confirm that the temperature did indeed drop.

Just then Bella looks their way and gets a small magical pull from the cantrip. It comes from beyond the bars.

Triessa's eyes widen, and she suddenly scrabbles at her belt pouch...only to realize she didn't take one of the haunt siphons!

"It's one of them!" she blurts, scared. "A haunt!"

She steps backwards and bumps into Szare, looking wildly around to see what horror will rise up and strike!

"No, it seems to be magical. I can sense it, faintly, from beyond the bars..." Bella answers, wondering just what was in store for them.

"Don't use the haunts unless we are SURE it's needed."

She concentrates on the bars, trying to get a feel for just where the magical aura is coming from.
 


Bellas eyes widen, as she calls out, "STAY AWAY FROM THE BARS! They are radiating the magic."

Their magic can be felt, as she concentrates on them, trying to figure out just what they had in store. If this was a prison, and those bars were meant to keep something in or out, then it's defensive. At least, that's what she thinks...
 

OOC: Haunts can't be detected through detect magic (my mistake) so this is not a haunt (need detect undead to locate them). Will play this as a magical trap you can by-pass if you wish.

"Let's get out of this room, quickly. Elthos those doors can you check them." the paladin says sword drawn as he watches the bars.
 

"The...bars?" Triessa asks numbly, but Szare just grabs her shoulder and literally drags her back away from the stage a few steps before she comes to her senses and yanks herself free to trot away on her own.

"Some kind of...security maybe," she panted breathlessly as she got close to the door Valanar was indicating. "Keep people from getting too close."
 


The door is unlocked and Elthos gives it a quick check for traps. He looks to Valaran and nods. The paladin quickly steps through sword and shield at the ready.

The northeast wall of this room has partially fallen, revealing the dark, murky waters of the pond outside. Moldering training dummies and other similar equipment hint that this room may have once been a training area for the guards. In the northeast part of the room, the floor around a dark, jagged hole is surrounded by black scorch marks.

Taking a spot near the corner he motions the others into the room. "Looks clear."
