[LPF] The Curse of the Brown Auroch

[Grayn]

Elisha screams as the last beast falls to the ground from Paskell's attack. She runs to Flerg's side, who is now sitting on the floor below the rack of bottles. She quickly grabs a bottle and pours a drink, offering it to her husband.

Noises can be heard from the upstairs. Scraping and dragging, moans and high pitched chatter, unnatural and guttural emanations make their way down from the floor boards.

"Please! Go help those people! All the rooms were full of travelers. What's happening?" Elisha pleads to the four adventures.

Pirvinia von Lichenstein, Human Female

Pirvinia picks herself off the tavern floor, wincing from the mauling she received.

With a wry groan, she mutters, "Yes, those creatures have some vicious bites and really hurt someone. I will rush on up there."

As much as she wants to help rid the tavern of undead, she has already been badly wounded and has no desire to rush up the stairs in her current state. She immediately casts a spell (Mage Armor) that adds an invisible layer of magical armor to protect her.

Dusting off her clothes from being on the floor, she asks, "Thank you all for saving me. Any of you happen to be capable of healing?"

[Commander_Fallout]

With both beasts dead, Samad shook off the trance, before taking stock of the situation and answering, "Aye, I can."
He produced a wand from where it lay tucked in his silks, held it aloft and murmured a few words. It lit up brilliantly as he pressed it against the wound, which was soon reduced to a mere scratch. He placed it back into his robe and turned to Paskell, "That was well fought, but our work is yet done."
He stepped towards the stairs and beckoned, "Come on, lives are at stake."
[sblock=OOC]Ending his Battle Dance and healing Pirvinia with his wand of CLW
Attempt 1: 1d8+3=6
Attempt 2: 1d8+3=10
Er, wait, Wands don't adjust to caster level, so it should be 4 and 8 HP healed respectively. Whoops.

Anyway, Samad'll take the lead when we go upstairs, unless Paskell wants to.[/sblock]

Pirvinia von Lichenstein, Human Female

Pirvinia smiles at Samad and lays a hand on his arm as he pulls out the wand of healing, "I have my own wand, please use it instead. I cannot use it myself, but it is only right that you not expend charges on your wand."

She pulls out her wand and lends it to Samad. The wand's effects are enough to restore most of her health, leaving only a scratch from the mauling behind. It is good enough for her. She puts away her wand, leaving only the Magic Missile wand in her hand.

She gestures towards the stairs and says, "I will follow you and Paskell. Let us go!"

[sblock=OOC]Since I have my own CLW wand the charges can come from mine instead of yours, Commander_Fallout. Pirvinia just cannot use her wand herself.

She will follow behind both Paskell and Samad.

With no more dangers present and screams still ringing from the second floor, Lightfeather follows as well.

Pirvinia von Lichenstein, Human Female

Going up the stairs, Pirvinia glances at Paskell and Lightfeather, neither have said much of anything at all since she met them.

She asks ruefully, "Are you two always so anti-social?"

[Grayn]

As the party makes their way up the stairs, the noises from the rooms become noticeably and eerily quieter. As you stand at the top of the stairs, the entire building seems unsettling still.

[omnitricks]

The tengu followed behind, only responding when asked "not antisocial. Thinking. Flerg knows something about those...things that appeared when he opened the parchment. We should have asked what" instead of coming up to help the people. "Didn't sign on for this. Not ghosts and definitely not monsters" he continued before keeping silent and to the walls hoping that nothing will catch him since he had no intention of getting dragged into this.
[sblock=OOC]Paskell moves to the wall corner behind cover. Should be H11 if I'm not mistaken.

Pirvinia von Lichenstein, Human Female

Pirvinia gives the tengu a look with an arched eyebrow, and mutters, "No, you only signed on to beat up a troubled half-orc on hearsay."

She stays back from the corner, glancing sidelong at the probably thinking feathered woman who has said even less than the tengu. If that is even possible.

[Gorgon Heap]

The Goti woman returns Pirvinia's curiosity with stony silence which slowly turns to impatience as she nods toward doors that need investigation.
