HM's Carrion Crown AP - IC

[HolyMan]

The rush of wind suddenly fills the corridors of the old prison's second floor. The breeze intensives and suddenly everyone can hear nothing over the strong gale that buffets them.

"What's happ..ening?" Loh asks as he grabs a cell door for dear life.

"How would I know?" Kee responds digging her claws into the floor.

As Marshan, Toddy, and Halál fight to keep their footing Firvin stands with the haunt siphon clasped in a white knuckled grip as the wind seems to rush into the small glass bottle.

Everyone hears the pipes pitch in an eerie wail, as if to cry out no for the voiceless haunt. All the music seems to be following the wind into the heart of the siphon.

And then suddenly the wind is gone, sucked into the siphon like a bucket gulping up all the water of a puddle. Firvin replaces the cap and looks at the vortex of light swirling in the center. Where once it was purest white, it now glows with a dull sickly green color.

Marshan scans the area with the remaining time left from his spell an finds no sign of the Piper. Before he can say anything Loh pipes up.

"Hey look! All the bugs got blown away," she says with a large grin.

Sure enough only a few of the critters scamper about here and there, but the massive swarm is nowhere to be seen.

XP: CR 4 1,200

Firvinianna Laali, Half Drow Elven Sorceress

Firvinianna looks at the used haunt siphon with an arched eyebrow, her expression stoic.

"Well, that was impressive, no?"

She tucks the item back into her backpack, not sure what else to do with it for now.

The dark skinned elf looks around at her companions curiously.

"Well there are to two doors left," Kee says putting her hammer over a shoulder. "Or do you think all our luck is used up for the day?"

"I vote - out of luck," Loh says with a serious tone.

OOC: What next?

Firvinianna Laali, Half Drow Elven Sorceress

Firvinianna shrugs as she really gets no answer to her quip and suggests, "Why not look to see if there was anything interesting where the bugs came from? We did not get a very good look before running away."

"Then, we might as well check the other two doors. Either one is fine by me."

She draws her bow to prepare.

"Hopefully that bottled wind got all the bugs. Let's see." Marshan makes his way back over to the kitchen to explore its nooks and crannies.

[Maidhc O Casain]

Halál looks around in wonder at the cleared space, listening for the haunt and for the rustle of roaches to start again. "Yeah, that was impressive. Good job, Firvin. OK, let's look around."

Suiting action to words, the Dwarf moves to the kitchen (the room the roaches came from) and begins to search.

[HolyMan]

The group moves back to the kitchen to explore the pantry.

They find the small room a disgusting mess as well anthing that has been home to thousands of cockroaches should be. Small animal remains (rat, squirrel, bird) litter the floor and counter, evidence of how the bugs have stayed alive for so long in the deserted dungeon.

A small window high on the eastern wall let's in a little light, through it's broken glass. But after searching there is nothing of value or interest to be found.

OOC: Next move?

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

"Well, looks like there's nothing in here. Let's just clear this last door - probably just a pantry - and then we can knock out those two doors to the south before heading downstairs."

Halál squishes through the sticky mess on the floor to the door at the back of the room and trying the handle.

Firvinianna Laali, Half Drow Elven Sorceress

Firvinianna stays outside the kitchen, did not feel the need to go in there the first time and dead bugs has made it even less attractive.

Once they are done, she says, "Of the last doors, we can probably start right to left."

[sblock=Mini Stats & OOC]OOC: Facing them, that would be opening Rm5 then Rm6. Can we have the description of area G again, please?
