HM's Carrion Crown AP - IC

[Maidhc O Casain]

Halál stands with his axes at his side, breathing deeply and considering the fallen skeletons and the problem of the piper. After a moment he shakes the bone dust from his blades and slides his throwing axe through a loop on his belt, then bends to retrieve his bow, slinging it across his back. Finally, he touches his hand to the center of his chest, closes his eyes and says a prayer . . . the wounds on his face and shoulder close, leaving him still somewhat the worse for wear but feeling better. He looks to the others and nods his readiness to continue, though it's plain from the expression on his face that the normally stoic dwarf is still haunted by the piping.

"We've gotta be more careful . . . another fight like that one will be the end of me."

Firvinianna Laali, Half Drow Elven Sorceress

Firvinianna doesn't see anything and holds her haunt siphon ready.

"I never saw the music maker, where was it last, Toddy? I can open up the haunt siphon to try and deal with it. Presuming it will work, but I am not sure if I actually need to see the invisible thing."

She casts a minor cantrip to assist her and others in helping to resist the dirge music. Not sure if it will help, she looks around with her mage sight, trying to see magical auras.

[Satin Knights]

"The ghost was right there. He was playing for some ghostly stirges. The music was pretty."

 

[HolyMan]

"Let's search quickly and get out of here before the ghost bard comes back," Loh says moving along the corridor. (heading east)

The dirge continues to play, but it is more subdued almost quiet, as the group moves towards the guard post with it's set of iron bars. (area G)

To the north two more hallways mostly with barred cell doors lead back to the lighted area and the tables. A set of double wooden doors stand alone but otherwise the area looks like an ordinary prison.

To the south the guard post seems to protect some room as a pair of wooden doors are set into the south wall.

To the east the prison continues off into the darkness.

[sblock=OOC]
The dirge no longer requires Will saves to avoid being shaken. It still floats about mornfully but has no in game effect.

On the map I marked wooden doors with a brown dot. All other doors are barred prison cell doors.

Just need to know where you wish to go next.[/sblock]

Firvinianna Laali, Half Drow Elven Sorceress

Firvinianna keeps her haunt siphon ready and continues to look around for magical auras while they search.

"Good idea, Loh. Let's stick together and continue to make sure nothing is lurking in the open areas and hallways before we start opening doors."

Not a scout herself, she stays in the middle of the group and expects the others to lead the way as they continue searching and exploring.

"Sounds good. Around to the East, then, clearing open areas, then we'll go back and start peeking behind doors. Toddy, you still leading the way or shall I break the trail now?"

"Oh, Okay. Was waiting. I will go now. No doors. Okay." Toddy heads east, then north to see what else may be wandering around in here. Marshan follows close behind him.

The group spends the next twenty minutes exploring the hallways of the prisons second level. They discovery that the floor is made up mainly of cells and the remains of the dead convicts. Gladly none come back to unlife as they explore.

When the group is done their cautious search, they know there are six areas sealed off by wooden doors. Now they only need to decide where to start opening those doors.

Firvinianna Laali, Half Drow Elven Sorceress

As they walked around, Firvinianna keeps her haunt siphon just in case that piper shows up again. She continues to cast her Resistance cantrip as it wears off. With only doors remaining to be opened, she suggests, "Maybe we should try the doors that lead to what looks like the obviously small room."

She gestures to the doors she is referring to in order that she suggests they open them.

The dwarf nods decisively and approaches the indicated door, first scanning it visually as he comes closer, then running his thick fingers over the frame and panels with surprising delicacy.
