Ptolus: The Legend of Longcoat

[Trench]

Jarem stands his ground, but turns his head to look at Ada. "Did you do anything in here?"

Ada hisses in annoyance. "Yeah. I walked in. Started when I went looking for that smell."

Vanden turns at Garn's shout, and after a moment's shock at seeing the skeleton rise, moves to assist. As he nears the half-orc, the skeleton shatters under the mighty blow of the morningstar. Vanden shields his face from the debris.

He freezes, looking around the room for any further signs of trouble. "Is everyone all right?" he calls out.

Moving into the room last, Maugra casts a cure spell for Garn.

"What the hell is happening up there?" Jossen hisses as he stands in the hallway watching their backs.

"What the hell is happening up there?" Jossen hisses as he stands in the hallway watching their backs.

"We're good... I think..." Garnet appears a little shaken from seeing the undead.

 

[Erekose13]

"Garn is alright. Is this Longcoat? or at least the one from 100 years ago?" says Maugra taking a look around the creepy death room.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Looking around the room, the group sees no further immediate threats in the laboratory, although after a moment, they realize the human skull on the shelf between the bottles and parchments has only one eye socket.

 

[Erekose13]

Maugra will check the odd skull to see if she can tell what kind of creature it once belonged to. She'll also have a look over the parchments and bottles.

 

[Cthulhudrew]

Vanden shakes his head in acknowledgement of Maugra's question. "My best guess would be that this is Henry Crofter's skeleton, but I don't know if there is yet enough evidence to determine whether he was the Longcoat murderer or not. If so, and this is his body, then we are dealing with a copycat killer."
