[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8465104, member: 59816"] The scream had sounded like a woman in peril, but there was a strange, almost metallic echo underlying the voice. Ethian waited for the owl familiar to pass over his head, and then continued up the stairs. Archemedes flew, as directed, toward the room in the south-west corner, but when he arrived at the upper landing, the door was shut. As were the doors to three other rooms. However, a wide archway led to a library to the south (over the entryway downstairs, where the others were gathered). Archemedes began a fly-around scout. As he flew under the archway, he reported by telepathic link to Ruznami, a strange humanoid figure crouched in the shadows next to a bookcase. It was wearing tatters that appeared to have once been fine clothes. Before Archemedes could make out any features, the shadows pulled tight around the creature and it was suddenly behind the owl. Archemedes tried to beat his little wings to get away, but it reached out with some sort of claw-like appendage and Ruznami felt a sudden pain, and then nothing. Archemedes was gone; crushed in a vice-grip. This had all happened so fast that Ethian had only just reached the top of the stairs. The elf saw the creature through the shadows of the library as it crossed the floor, moving out of sight. As it did, it turned once toward him, and its human-like head held large round bug-like multi-faceted eyes. A wave of sorrow and regret washed over Ethian, but it wasn't the elf's own emotions - it came from the creature. [ooc]Normally, I'd set up a whole combat-starter, but I'm not sure what will happen here. Everyone can post like for round one, though. [Spoiler="Rolls"] "The Creature"[URL='http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=256273']Stealth Check: 1D20+6 = [1]+6 = 7[/URL] Nope. Archemedes saw it.
