@DEFCON: Congrats on becoming a father. I speak from my own experiences when I say that a child is a most wondrous thing. Our daughter is almost two months old and I treasure every moment I spend with her.

Ashlyn looks carefully at both of the skeletons in the alcoves before she follows Jarrith through the double doors. Seeing the single throne, standing slightly off center at the far end of the room, Ashlyn looks over her shoulder, back down the hallway towards the two thrones on the balcony...

"In this place I fear we will need all the power and abilities that we have and move. It may be that the aura of this place will hamper any attempts to use positive energy to thwart the undead, but we will not know until we try, and perhaps the power that this Icon possesses will be sufficient...

With the boy contained, ... hopefully ..., Scout keys her communicator and somewhat belatedly replies to Archiville, "Scout here, boy is secured at Tokio Super headquarters. What is the status on the two creatures? Have you dealt with them or do you require additional assistance?"

Ashlyn turns to look directly at Marot and in a level voice she says, "I believe I was speaking to Jarrith and Tessa." She then stares at him for a long moment before she asks, with a hint of concern on her voice, "Mentioning the blatantly obvious is not like you ... are you okay? "

I believe Ashlyn already directed her words towards Jarrith and Tessa:

According to the info stonegod posted earlier (in the "Cannons of the Knittes of the Ravven"), the Icon of Ravenloft affects ones ability to turn undead. Assuming that it only helps on turn undead attempts and not on other abilities that use turn undead, then I figure Tessa would be more likely...

Ashlyn nods, "I don't sense any undead on the other side ... we should be good to proceed." Ashlyn then turns to speak to Jarrith and Tessa, "The Icon of Ravenloft , the silver statue from the alter, is said to be a powerful weapon of the Knight of the Raven for turning back undead. Since it...

@stonegod: Just a quick question ... the stone walls of the castle, are they at least 1ft thick? I'm assuming they are, but figured it's best to check (with regards to whether Ashlyn's detect undead will penetrate the walls ... I figure it should penetrate the doors as I seriously doubt that...

Ashlyn looks around cautiously from the balcony as she moves over towards the double doors. She then concentrates briefly as if she were looking through them, as she uses her abilities to check for the presence of undead. [Detect undead (in the direction of double doors) 60ft range; penetrates...

Yep, the stairs going up from the Chapel.

Scout continues to watch the kid warily as she takes the bracelets from Kitsune and attaches them to the kids hands. [Note: If Kitsune wants to put the bracelets on the kid then Scout will assist instead]

If I consider the NPC's who would be mostly likely to join the fun, then I would get:Sir Khensu Feral - I rather like Jarrith RP'ing him and would prefer that to remain the case even if we get another player. Ladreth Dorkunan Sir Urik Adalstan d'Cannith - I prefer him to remain in town as a...

Group gear updated with the mace, the full plate, and the amulet that the Karrnathi Zombie was wearing. Also updated with the icon of Ravenkind. I have also added a section for group gear that is in use by someone (not counting expendible items).

Ok ... I guess that might change her reaction a little .... she's still going to be unhappy if the tome does contain info on how to create undead - but perhaps she won't be quite so verbal then ;)

Ashlyn points towards the balcony upstairs, "I would guess that the library would be found upstairs somewhere. Perhaps the stairs there lead up to the balcony. At least it would be a good place to begin our search." Ashlyn then collects her stuff and then turns to look at the equipment of the...

@stonegod: I'm not sure if you missed it earlier, but Ashlyn destroyed the body of the Karrnathi zombie using an alchemical flare stake a while ago, although she left it's equipment on the floor at the time (see here).

I vote for going upstairs (stairs to the north) to try and find the Tome. Although the library could be anywhere in the castle, I would guess that it is on the upper floor (or on one of them if there are more than one). Just a heads up for the future - I was just thinking about things, and...

I'll also be sorry to see you go James as I've enjoyed the challenge Janis has presented and the writing that has described her viewpoint on proceedings. Good luck, and best wishes for your writing in the future :D

Okay, I finally figured out Ashlyn's response ... She is using all her abilities and skill to convince people to stay together and fight undead. I'm not necessarily expecting this to work (thats entirely up to you guys), but it's the only thing thats really in keeping with what Ashlyn would do...
