Message: <blockquote data-quote="kinem" data-source="post: 4688693" data-attributes="member: 24234">The door crashes open in front of Aram and Girgal.Waiting outside is a swarthy man in a chain shirt with a hard, crazed look in his eyes.  He carries a large steel shield but no obvious weapon, and he is surrounded by four bhuts.  The clawed monsters have prepared for battle - they now wear chain shirts and carry longspears.  A couple of the monsters (the ones in the back row) clearly still bear wounds from the last battle with the party. It is not clear how the door was busted open.The strange man stares straight into Aram's eyes.  "Don't attack, I come to talk.  Invite me in!" he orders Aram.The bhuts wait to see what will happen.[sblock=Rhun]As the stranger stares into Aram's eyes, he seems to crush the warrior's will.  Aram has been affected as if by a dominate person spell.  He must obey the stranger's orders.Note: Subjects resist this control, and any subject forced to take actions against its nature receives a new saving throw with a +2 bonus.  I will intrepret this to include an order to attack a fellow party member, but not inviting in the stranger.[/sblock][sblock=map][code]1 sq = 5'.......XXXXXXXXXXX.......d..$...X..X.......XXXXXX.X..X.......X#.X......X.....bbX=.X...XXXX.....V..AG.......X.....bbXXX.X.XXXXX......XX...X..X.....dXXXXXXXXXb = bhutV = strange manA = AramG = Girgal + Ripclaw#= = stairs up; trapdoor is under #D = main guesthouse door, d = other door$ = secret door (known to Father Fuller)[ B = Bevin, upstairs, not shown ][ F = Father Fuller, upstairs, not shown ][/code][/sblock]ooc: Aram, Girgal to actUpstairs, Bevin and Fr.
