Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

"Very good," says Kael as he cleans off the wand. "Danth is right, we need to make sure the house is clear before we raze it to the ground. It and all its evil."

OOC: okay, so it looks like you want to scour the rest of the house. In the caverns you have the large pit (it falls away to the dark below, with the sound of waves evident, so possibly just a natural drip cavern to the sea). There was also one corridor to the left near the beginning of the caverns that you didn't explore. Upstairs there were lots of rooms still to explore.
 

Seeing that everyone is uneasy with the nasty batch of fungus on the wall, (and Jokad liking to destroy things) Jokad draws Whitefire and wills it to ignite.

"You want this mess lit up, eh Jovik?" he says retorically before moving toward the mass and thrusting his blazing brand into it. He covers his mouth against the foul greasy smoke as the growth slowly burns.

He calls over his shoulder to Danth, "What of Aldern's wronged wife, Iesha? She may have been twisted by the evil of this place but should we take her outside and give her a proper burial?"

"And does anyone have some clean water? I'd like to wash Aldern's vile filth from my wounds."


OOC: Jokad is not terribly concerned with the fungus and while he is careful to touch it only with his sword, he is not paying a lot of attention; talking over his shoulder and the like.

He remains down 20 hps (28/48).
 

As the group finishes their investigation of Aldern's chamber and prepares to leave to explore the rest of the area, Danth again draws and ignitre Crimson Dawn. He approaches Aldern's corpse and uses the scimitar to set it aflame. "While he ended his existence in shadow and darkness, let the light of these fires guide his soul to find blissful rest in your bosom, blessed Sarenae."

When the corpse is engulfed, the young cleric turns his attention back to his companions. "Let us finish exploring these caves, and then we can return to the manor above. With luck, Aldern's passing has ended the haunt that has been dwelling here."
 

Ha, Frostrune and I posted within seconds of one another...

Noticing Jokad's wounds, Danth moves to tend the warrior. He whispers a quick prayer to Sarenae and lays his hand upon the Shoanti's injuries, sending the warm healing power of his goddess flowing into the man.

As Jokad talks absently, Jovik's jaw starts to drop. The broken box he is holding starts to rattle and vibrate in his hand. He looks up, seeing the burning flame of Whitefire eating into the moldy stain on the wall. The mold almost seems to move away from the flame, as if flinching. Jovik lets go of the wooden box, realising that it is suddenly hot in his hand. As it falls to the floor there is a sudden crack, like a whip or rope snapping. Jokad is thrown across the room, whitefire falling from his hand, his right arm numb as if a shock has stunned all of his muscles.

The shoanti crumples against the table, causing it to tilt. Jovik steadies the thing, and then helps the barbarian to his feet. Danth too moves over quickly, offering a hand to the barbarian. The cleric had been at the door setting fire to the corpse of Aldern.

Jokad stands, brushing off the assistance. His face is a mask of displeasure.

The patch on the wall smoulders a little, but is still largely untouched.

Danth can sense it. There is something unholy there.

Outside the door the corpse of Aldern starts to pick up the flame. The stench is stunning! Someone is going to have to kick him into that pit before you all vomit! Trust me, burning ghast is not a tasty odor!
 


Jokad looks to Kael then Danth, "What in the Nine Hells was that?"

He eyes the stain more intently now as he feels Saerenae's healing warmth wash over him. He flexes his right arm working feeling into his numbed fingers before carefully reaching for his sword.

He's got that determined look on his face and you are afraid he may and try and burn it again unless diverted...

"GAH!!! The smell..."


OOC: Thanks for the healing. Now 41/48 hps.

"I have no idea," says Danth, approaching the patch of mold upon the wall. "Jokad, would you mind kicking Aldern's body into the pit while I investigate this?"

The cleric sheathes his blade as he approaches the mold, and grabs hold of his holy symbol. He focuses upon the mold, channel Sarenae's power through his body, and toward the corruption.


Turn Undead attempt on the evil mold.
 

"I have no idea," says Danth, approaching the patch of mold upon the wall. "Jokad, would you mind kicking Aldern's body into the pit while I investigate this?"

"Ugh..... Gladly", Jokad blurts through gasps for air.


OOC: He will kick Aldern's burning corpse out of the room and into the pit.
