[QUOTE="Jeremy, post: 4200198, member: 4036"] In Maquent’s journal—she was one of the mistresses of the House—we were able to confirm that one of the pieces of the key to move the statue of the obese man was with a creature called the Cobbled Man. The other part it would seem is up in Radanna’s chambers which are hidden above a secret trap door in the ceiling of a room we haven’t found as yet. In another room we came across an orc tied to a bed in women’s undergarments. No, really. He was gagged and everything. Pavlechenko it would appear his name is. He was understandably motivated to get some revenge on the various creatures infesting the House for his humiliation. He didn’t have to look far for a fight as we very quickly came across an armored contingent of dead prostitutes and an armored battle axe toting ghoul of some kind that invited us to join them in death. We beat their asses down something fierce. We had a much harder time with the goat headed demon we came across later. I imagine the fight must have looked fantastic as it raged back and forth across battlements and parapets with gouts of hellfire from devilish hounds lighting up the night until the flash of steel silenced them. I can’t wait to tell of all these engagements to the bard at the Ghostly Minstrel. We eventually caught up with Meagan who we hadn’t seen since we left Rayth and Riley to watch over the unconscious Gloria. She didn’t react well to Taunell’s possession of her and was unable to aid us for the duration of our exploration. In any case Meagan had apparently tracked down and came back with Radanna’s half of the spiral signet all by herself. She told us there was nothing else of consequence in the tower she searched which only left one tower for the Cobbled Man or his remains to be in. We found the monster and tried to reason with him, but he was more interested in tearing our heads off, Imriel, Pavlechencko, and Beth all fell to the monster’s onslaught. Geery was able to save Imriel though it exhausted him and everyone was treated to the sight of his disgusting true form as in his fatigue he was unable to hold his disguise and exploded in a mass of tentacles and mouths that devoured the corpse of the Cobbled Man. Pavlenchenko and Beth both decided to try healing themselves with wands they weren’t trained to use and in the worst luck ever managed to each blow up their wands and kill themselves. How many corpses is that in this House now? With the spiral signet reassembled as a disk we were able to activate and move the statue of the obese man which would hopefully finally lead us to the all key which had brought us here and perhaps some sign of what the Crimson Coil and their fellow chaos cults were up to. The sub basement of Pythoness House was a mess of water and ice and entombed creatures which came to life intent on taking ours. A pair of minotaur crowed something about how the Night of Dissolution had already arrived, but I think they were out of their minds. The repeated blunt force trauma we applied to their craniums likely did not help. **** [/QUOTE]
