In The Tall Dark Pines: A Tale of Braxus

William stands and looks at the corpses of the creatures that had just attacked them. A large force had just attacked and he and his friends had wiped them out in seconds. Maybe Nevermore was right about being a hero.

"Wow. That was amazing. Did you see that? It was just like bam, boom, smash and we wiped them out. And I helped."

Argento moves to recover his chain. He looks somewhat sheepish about the whole thing, and his usually brash manner is somewhat cowed.

Timur Yamaltin Rogue1

Timur steps out of the shadows, and put's his weapons away.

He goes to the nearest Groylkyn and searches it, searching for any signs of their origins. He then peers inside a window into the building.
 

Quazeem, Human Monk 1

Quazeem will trust Timur to search the bodies and moves into the dwelling. Looking for clues as to how long the things have been here and trying to determine the fate of the wise woman.
 

Jackson fighter Level 1

Not being the most observant human being, Jackson deceides to also take a look through the cabin for any sign of the supposed seer...
 

William Fyre, Sorceror 1 and Nevermore, Raven Familiar

William and Nevermore get to work checking out the corpses, both human and groylkin, looking for any identifying objects or valubles. William looks a little green at first but manages to recover after a bit. Nevermore spends as much time plucking out choice morsels as it does looking for shiny objects.

Once they are done with that the join the others in looking over the cottage.

Searching among the numerous bodies around the shack yields the following info & items:

among the personal effects of the 2 largest Groylkyn
160 gps worth of coins, the majority in sp; all in a strange mint that you've never seen until now.

from the various slain groylkyn
6 worn suits of leather armor, smelly & a bit ill-suited for humans
12 worn flint groylkyn blades (count as short swords, just heavier)


All of the Groylkyn are poorly equipped and their ears show serious damage, presumably from fighting. They possess no items that would suggest a tribal association nor anything that might reveal where they came from.

The human bodies lying around are in advance states of decay, though they smell strongly of urine. They appear to be the bodies of villagers since their gear and clothing is very simple. No items of worth are found on their person.

Award yourselves 225eps each for that encounter.

In the shack

A percursory search of the ramsacked shack is difficult (imagine the worst men's room you've ever encountered in your life) for those w/ low constitutions. Other than the fact that the placed has been thoroughly searched by the groylkyn (and perhaps others), you find little, other than the bruised, headless body of a woman. You would guess that in life she might have been in her 40s or 50s, but her body has been ravaged by decay. A strange ragged wound sits high on her chest, near her clavicle. It reminds you in fact of a ruin or glyph.
 

William Fyre, Sorceror 1 and Nevermore, Raven Familiar

William finishes up his search of the bodies. Unfortunately they had come across nothing that could identify the creatures. Still it wasn't a total waste of time, Nevermore had created quite a large pile of strange coins. Even if they weren't a clue they would help fund the expedition.

William joins the others in the cabin. After a search reveals nothing but a corpse with a mark on it William decides to cast detect magic to see if it was magical.

OOC: Adding the coins to the party loot. Not adding the armor or blades since William wouldn't take them. If someone wants to take them let me know and I'll add them in.
 

Nothing inherently magical in the dwelling catches your eyes. However, percursory glance of some of the other items collected reveals a very slight dweomer emitting from the groylkyn blades. It is very faint, but all 6 of them do appear to possess some degree of enchantment.
