Strahd's "RttToEE" CLOSED

Miltiades leans wearily on his spear. "Remind me again, Lenuran, do you speak gnoll? My magical resources save for some healing are almost exhausted for the day."

Inspecting the sandstone door Korbryn has no idea how to disable the door from opening, it's a "push kind" of door and when in place it's pretty well camouflaged.

I'm not familiar with the canines tongue Miltiades.
Lenuran replies.
But I know a magical chant that enables me to understand the spoken words of their kind but alas, I can't speak it.

Examine the body of the gnoll, the human priestess and the stuff on the blanket, Thandis finds 8 gold coins in the gnoll's boot and 8 usable arrows. The female cleric possessions are Ochre robes, 3 potions, masterwork Morningstar, splint armor, large steel shield, light crossbow, 10 bolts, 12 gold coins, 20 silver coins and holy symbol.
Laid our carefully on the white blanket are the following items: An iron torch and three black cones, A black scepter with violet gems, a small black sphere and a black metal tube.

OOC: I updated the equipment on the Loot, write to me in the OOC thread if you keep something from that list and I'll update it.
 

"Hmm... lots of junk. Looks like it's time to see if any of this stuff has a bit of the the old 'hocus pocus' in it." Ithiken walks over to the pile and begins incanting. Soon his eyes glow and he inspects all the items layed out before him. (Cast Detect Magic).
 

Korbryn moves across the dungeon area, to investigate the two doors to the west of where they originally descended.
 

[sblock=Ithiken's Detect Magic]
The iron torch radiates a magical aura, as well as the 3 black cones next to it.
The small black sphere aura is Moderate evocation.
On the Priestess you sense the auras of the 3 potions, one is Conjuration, the second is Enchantment and the third is Abjuration.

Opening the tube, Lenuran fins a worm ridden scroll covered with unfamiliar writings, he shows it to the wizards then the historian stash it for later investigation, the black scepter is non magical but even for the untrained eye looks worthy enough.

Still glancing to the long corridor and the stairs, Thandis hears a sound of moving chains for several seconds, it sounds like someone lowered a gate or something.

Moving to the main hall, where the stairs are, Korbryn leaves the others to investigate the artifact's room to cancel any threat that might come from the unexplored rooms.
Checking the left reavels a room filled with clutter, having been thoroughly ransacked. Broken barrels, splintered wood and scarps of leather lies everywhere.
Moving to the next one, you see the remains of broken and splintered wood and a few torn black rags litter the small room, water drips from the ceiling and collects in puddles among the uneven stones on the floor.
I'm armed and dangerous!! Make way!
You see a human, of Oeridian origin, emerges from behind a barrel, pointing his finger at you, he is wearing dirty gray robes, and he is tall gray haired with blue eyes and rounded nose

Korbryn faces the man, his greatsword held in a way that leaves no doubt to the dwarf's skill with the blade. "Who are ye grey hair? And why do ye lurk in this foul place. I warn ye freely: I am not alone, nor am I afraid to use force to defend myself."


OOC: Intimidate +2 to keep the man from attacking (?) Otherwise, ready action to attack at the first sign of danger.

Miltiades steps foward next to Korbryn. "Peace stranger. We have dispatched the undead, humanoids, and cultist who were down here. I am a priest of the church of Rao. We are looking for a missing father from Hommlet. What is your name?"

ooc diplomacy. Does he match the description of the missing wizard?
 

Spugnoir

Intimidated by the massive sword Korbryn hold and the grumpy brave attitude.
The battered human back away to the far wall but keeps his finger pointed.

He turns his look over your shoulder to see the "others" the dwarf mention.

A thankful expression rises on the human's face.
Oh... thank you, I thought I was doomed in this place, never to see my daughter again … forgive me.
He says and wipes a happy tear.
My name is Spugnoir, a local herbalist and potion seller from Hommlet and I have a feeling you just found the missing father, I was caught in this middle, between the anvil and the hammer. The Gnolls in the hall over there, although they didn’t know I was hiding here, were too much for a wounded wizard as my self, and the blue wyrm up stairs was a … wait a minute, what with the blue wyrm??
 

Korbryn shrugs at the man's words, and lowers his blade. Lifting the visor of his helm, the scarred dwarf winks (not a pretty sight) at the man, and gives a short laugh. "Ha! We vanquished that cowardly wyrm. It flew off with its tail between its legs!"
