Round 5 - End of Battle

The Kid, noticing that he is exposed, growls to himself as he makes a beeline for the covering wall. As he moves behind the cover, he peeks out to toss yet another dagger at the relentless foe. Unfortunately, his aim is off, and the dagger bounces harmlessly off of part of the battlements.
Miltiades directs the spiritual mace to keep up its assault on the dragon and begins to chant another summoning, a holy wisdom owl this time.
Korbryn quickly knocks arrow and leans around the doorway, using the wall to provide as much cover to himself as possible. He takes aim on the dragon, and sends the missile streaking through the air toward the beast. As the arrow leaves the bow, he shouts at his companions. "RUN! Find cover!", Unfortunately he send the arrow high, the arrow flies over the battlements and the wall to the mercy of the bog.
"I will return to hunt you!" the dragon stutter in the common tongue, launch to the sky and flies to the west, soon to be vanish from sight.
Now, that all is over, you look around again, a brown smear spreads across the middle of the courtyard, up the stairs and into the open door way where Korbryn stands, it looks like a sun dried blood, the kid collects his dagger and picks up a curved dagger with ivory hilt just where the smear begins.
Inside the great hall, the stench of death is strong, shafts of daylight peek through the rotten and partially ruined ceiling timbers. In the center of the room lies the corpse of a man, it appears to be partially eaten. This man wore ochre-colored robes it seems, now shredded and smeared in dried blood. A heavy mace has been set atop his body. In the north west corner lies the corpse of a woman wearing black studded leather armor, with a sword and a bow.

"Craven wyrm!" shouts Korbryn as the blue dragon retreats. "If ye come back, I'll be wearing yer hide as a cloak!"

As the dragon fades from sight, Korbryn stows his bow, and draws his greatsword. Always wary, he pokes at the corpses with the blade.
 

Miltiades slumps slightly as the tension releases from him. "One more enemy." he says as he pulls out his holy symbol, ready if the bodies prove to more than lifeless. He comes next to the dwarf to use his prepared healing magic to cure Korbryn.
 

Ithiken wipes the sweat from his brow, lets out his long blond hair from it's ponytail, and fans himself with his hand. "Oy. That was not fun. Everyone all right?" he asks, as he walks up the stairs and enters the small building.

The long brown stain catches his eye and he follows it inside and it leads up to the dead body. Ithiken's eyes widen a bit and he slowly begins making his way over to it. "Anyone konw who this man is? Anyone? These robes of his are quite distinct too. Not to mention very, very ugly. I mean, who wears mustard-colored clothing nowdays anyway? I wonder who he is?"

He walks over to Kobryn and Miltiades, both standing over the body. The elf looks at them with raised eyebrows. "Look familiar to either of you two? Must have really angered the dragon and wasn't able to take it on by himself. Hmm. Is he a priest? Maybe a mage? I can't get over how ugly those robes are!"
 

The Kid hides his daggers back upon his person, and then carefully examines the new found blade. Walking besides the others, he listens to them distractedly. "Hmm? I'm fine. And that there is one of those cultists we're after, isn't it? Guess we should have a look around, see what they were doing before the dragon came on the scene."

Turning to the mage, he holds up his new acquisition. "This look magic to you? Found it out in the courtyard."
 

Ithiken looks at the item in The Kid's hand and furrows a brow. "Not sure. Give me a second." He begins making motions with his fingers and mumbles a few words in draconic, then suddenly his eyes fog over. He takes a few seconds to look at the item, and then begins sweeping his vision about the room. "Hmm... let me see... magical... magical..."

OOC: Cast Detect Magic and look at item plus all other items/locations/corpses inside room.

Spells Now Remaining: 5/1/3
 

The Great Hall

It seems the souls of the two are in rest, no vile undead are awaken when you approach to examine the unlucky humans, the woman's corpse wears dyed black studded leather armor made of fine quality to the trained eye (MW) and bears a long sword. Beside her body you spot a short bow, 12 scattered arrows, and a torn leather pouch with 12 gold coins and 3 jades.
Around her neck dangles a black iron triangle with an upside-down yellow Y inscribed within.
The Dead garbed man in the middle of the room wears chain mail beneath the ochre robes, his heavy mace rest atop his body, beside him you find his bag, from inside you recover a scroll, 24 gold coins and a lilac-colored stone mask. He also wears around his neck the same symbol as the woman.

[sblock= Ithiken's Detect magic]
The kid's chain shirt and dagger glows with faint aura, Miltiades's Plate armor and sack are magical and Korbryn's armor and impressive greatsword bears magic.
The ivory hilt dagger the kid gave you is non magical but worthy enough in the local market, the short bow, heavy mace and scroll of the dragon's victims are magical. The scroll is touched with divinity.

If you want to spllit the treasure you find you can do it IC or OOC.
 

The Kid tests the dagger with a few practice throws, then pockets it in the folds of his clothes with the others.

Kneeling by the corpses, the young man eyes the amulets. "These familiar to anyone?" The Kid then methodically searches throughout the inner chamber, looking for any other evidence left by the two.

OOC: Is the dagger masterwork? Does a Knowledge (local) check tell me anything on the amulet? And, the Kid will take 20 on a search of the room. Is there any other intact rooms besides this one?
 

"We should toss anything of value in a sack, and continue on," says Korbryn. "Leave these cultists to feed the bog critters."
