Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yttermayn" data-source="post: 5707058" data-attributes="member: 31390">With an angry growl, Scrag rushes into the magically darkened area.  He emerges on the other side to find the rug that covered the entrance all but burned away by the trap that hit Rosalia.  She and Grok hunker beside it, bloody crossbow bolt on the ground beside them, and using the archway for cover from Rosalia's unknown attacker.  The room beyond is only dimly lit by the last of the alchemist's fire and burning debris.  Scrag catches a glimpse of movement from behind a bed and piles of crates and barrels.  As another crossbow bolt <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3223012/" target="_blank">launches</a> at him, it is obvious to Scrag that the attacker is using the pile of stuff as an emergency barricade.  The bolt goes wide and knocks a chunk of stone out of the arched entrance next to Scrag's head.  Scrag continues in and scrambles on top of the debris field, ready to cleave the enemy at his next opportunity.  What he finds is a creature that resembles a dwarf, but dark and somehow degenerate.  The thing wields a complicated looking crossbow and carries a number of other useful looking items that Scrag has no time to examine.  On the ground next to the creature are several flasks of yellowish fluid, carefully placed in an open box filled with goose down.OOC: Scrag make an intelligence check.  As far as Scrags attack goes, he didn't have time for an attack.  His 30' move would have taken him to the curtain, so I took the liberty of using his action to move closer to the attacker behind the barricade.  This way he'll at least get an AOO if he tries to use the crossbow again.   I hope Deuce is OK with that.Rosalia can't see the tubule creature forming through the area of the darkness spell, nor can Grok (he moved close to Rose to cast CLW), so she isn't completely aware of it yet.  And just to clarify, what happened to Rose was that she triggered a trap behind the curtain, which was alchemists fire balanced precariously on the end of a stick.  She knocked it over, it fell and broke, burning her.  Also, the mystery attacker in the room behind the curtain shot at her and was using a poisoned crossbow bolt.  In 1 minute she will have to roll another fort save vs poison for it's delayed effect.
