Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

[frostrune]

OOC: I think Kael has the spell 'featherfall'. I think that was why Friadoc didn't sound too concerned about the potential fall.

Dude, for some reason my brain totally forgot that Feather Fall was an immediate action. Hewligan, is it too late to correct this?

OOC: Too late - Kael is already lying on the floor groaning when he remembers that he could have, SHOULD HAVE, used his feather fall spell. Hey - maybe later I can throw you off a cliff

Danth peers over the jagged edge of the whole in the floor, tyring to spot Kael below lying amidst the dust and debris. "Are you alright?"

 

[Friadoc]

"Just a little banged up," says Kael as he stands up in the debris. "The only thing hurt is my pride, I was so preoccupied that I didn't even cast feather fall."

"But, I'm fine," says Kael as he smirks, more at himself than anything else. "I'll be right there."

Kael will make his way to his friends.

 

[Rhun]

Danth moves to meet Kael as the sorcerer makes his way back up, quickly checking the wounds to make sure they aren't more severe than they first appear.

Damaged Pride

It only takes Kael a minute to make his way back to you. The washroom he ended up in downstairs was just north of the main room, and he soon found his bearings, dusted himself off, wiped a little blood from his lip, and set off back upstairs.

He got a few slaps on the shoulders, and couldn't help but blush a little at his mistake - first to charge into the room with the floor so clearly in a bad state, and secondly forgetting to use his own magic - something that was such an integral part of him.

Mal, upon seeing him return, snuffled up to his hand, pressing a wet nose into the offered palm.

Onwards.

There were only two doors left on the floor, both at the end of the corridor just past the room where you found Iesha.

Jovik does his thing, pressing his ear to the first and after a few moments signaling it was clear. Of course, the incredible noise you all just made, sending a bathtub flying through the floor of the house, is not exactly going to make your attempts at stealth worth much. Still, habits ....

The door opens to reveal a flight of steps that wind up into a dark space.

Do you want to go upstairs, or open the other door on this floor first?

 

[Rhun]

"Let's finish up on this floor, and then we can see what awaits us above," says Danth matter-of-factly.

 

[hewligan]

Jovik once again performs the ritual, and once again signals a clear (or at least silent) room. He opens the door quietly as you assume your now natural positions.

This once-fine chamber has been destroyed. The bed is smashed, mattress torn apart, walls gouged as if by knives, chairs hacked apart, and paintings on the walls torn to pieces—with one exception. A portrait hanging on the northwest wall seems to be untouched, although it hangs backward, its unseen subject facing the wall.

OOC: Room B15

 

[Fenris]

Jovik was still shaken from the last encounter here, with the child. But he had the child with him, and in some ways felt that he was doing a good deed and in some small way felt now protected by the spirit of the child. So Jovik crept foward. He got to the picture and reached out, he drew his hand back instinctively but reached out a second time to flip the portrait over.
