Darksun Killer In Ravenloft PT I

Drinchek peers out and sees the spirit gone, he asks his astral friend to have a look about for any more danger while he himself stays close to Sorren and Dukotti in case of more danger.

Sorren grinned in cold satisfaction behind his crystalline mask. The green light faded from his eyes and he seemed to relax a bit. "Is everyone ok," he asked. His own head still hurt from the spirit's psychic assault. He watched as the creature's ectoplasmic remains faded from this world. Serves it right. It should have known better than to attack me.

Dukotti ducks and covers his face as the spirit's ethereal body explodes in front of him. Feeling nothing, he blinks and looks around.

The elf snorts and begins to clean his blade but realizes it is bloodless. If I live the rest of my days without seeing such an abomination again, I will die happily. He sheathes it then, and looks at Tallask.

"Are you yourself or must I spit you on your own spear?"

Tallask grins ferally. "While that might be amusing, I am in control now. A templar lead me to this place - he seemed under some sort of control as well, but he didn't enter. He called it a 'Burdo House' - does that mean anything to you lot?"

Odten shakes his head at Tallask's question. "No, no, I've never heard of such a thing." He moves closer to the spot where the spirit dissipated. "Mindwalking undead. Dangerous creatures. Did it reveal anything to you while you were under its control?"

Tallask shakes his head. "Only that she was lonely, and that no one came to talk to her any more."

"Would she have a physical body? Something more than just her psychic self, perhaps?"

"Nor will anyone ever now."

"Possibly... we should search the house. I don't think this creature was powerful enough to project its Will over a distance. If it had a physical body, it is probably close and likely died when the spirit was destroyed. Still.... it doesn't hurt to look around."

Sorren, his obsidian staff cradled in both arms, began to systematicly search each room in the house. Perhaps this creature might have had some artifact of the Way.

Well logically if you consider the size and orientation of the house, especially the dating by period of it's architecture and decor, then the obvious place to... Drinchek's mind floods itself with logic to protect itself from the horror of what just happened and he begins a very precise and methodical search of the house in the same manner as Sorren.

Search +17. (15+2 from animal affinity) He'll take 20 if possible to extend the search out long enough to get a grip for a search check of 37.
