Simon N. (GM):OOC I'm hoping your new meat shield Jyrdani lasts longer than Lothrin!

Erasmus:Evenin' All

Christian L.:hi tim

Simon N. (GM):Hi Tim!

Kenny - Syrus:Hello Tim! :)

OOC I do feel we prob didn't make full use of Lothrin when he was with us.... :-P

Erasmus:OOC Agreed.

Kenny - Syrus:OOC Hopefully Jelly will be joining us?

Tenho:"I suggest we proceed immediately to the Keep, and explore the upper chambers?"

Erasmus:"A good plan. Let's go."

Kenny - Syrus:@Team "Let's do this - slay that Ghost!"

Percy (Christian):on we go

Kenny - Syrus:"It is in the old tower, right?"

Tenho:"The main Keep or Donjon, I think..."

Kenny - Syrus:@Tenho: "Certainly there are upper levels that we have yet to explore...

Tenho:Dawn casts Light on her staff as you enter the Keep.

Simon N. (GM):sorry was GM saying that :)

Kenny - Syrus:*Syrus pulls out moon sword to shed light for whole party

Erasmus:OOC Good point. I probably can't see and yet I'm rushing off!!

Kenny - Syrus:OOC But Erasmus is super Confident!!

Simon N. (GM):There is some light coming in the narrow windows, it's full daylight outside.

The dead husks lie of the wolf spiders lie where they fell.

(I've PM'd Jelly)

Erasmus:"Shall I lead the way?"

Simon N. (GM):Jyrdani shrugs.

Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"If you like, Monk."

Percy (Christian):i can sneak ahaed if you wish

Kenny - Syrus:@Erasmus "I will follow directly behind you with the sword to light the way"

@Percy "Great idea, friend!"

Percy (Christian):if i see anything i will come back

Erasmus:"OK, You go first Percy, O'll follow behind you."

Percy (Christian):before engaging

Stealth 12

Simon N. (GM):ok :)

Erasmus:To GM - I'd like to follow, but stay far enough behind as to not actually go into the room.

Simon N. (GM):GM: Percy creeps upstairs moderately quietly - the upper floor landing is empty, 3 doors off it. The stairs continue up to the battlements.

(I'll move you all up now)

GM: You all come out onto the landing of the Keep donjon.

(SW part of VTT)

Syrus (Kenny):Did we listen to these doors before?

Erasmus:"Pick a door, Percy"

Simon N. (GM):There is an air of sadness here. The doors show clear signs of battle damage, of having been broken through, smashed locks and splintered wood.

Percy (Christian):can we see through any of the doors (without opening them?

You can see a little through the NW and S doors. Through NW door you see what looks like a table. Through a gap in S door you see a bed and bones lying on it.

Percy (Christian):"i thing we should go through this door" gesturing to the south door

"i want to know what these bones are"

Syrus (Kenny):Syrus makes sure his moon sword is ready on hearing bones on bed

Simon N. (GM):Jelly PM'd me, she got mixed up on dates - MIrabelle is drinking too much to be any use tonight :)

Erasmus:"Do we think it's worth sneaking? There's not much space in any of these rooms, and Syrus has perhaps the only weapon that can actually hurt ghosts..."

Percy (Christian):"you are probably wright because as soon as we start fighting everything else is going to hear us"

Syrus (Kenny):OOC if we are not stealthing, shall we are meat shield, erm Jyrdani to lead the way?

Simon N. (GM):Jyrdani shrugs and boots the door open!

What was once an opulent bedchamber is now a shattered

wreck. Dust lies thickly and scorched, broken furniture is

scattered about. A skeleton lies on the bed and several more

blackened skeletons lie by the door.

The body on the bed wears the remains of a nobles' dress.

Simon N. (GM):Her skull is caved in.

Syrus (Kenny):*Syrus will go in and inspect the other skelts

Simon N. (GM):There are 3 burned skeletons near the door - looks like 2 goblins and a stocky tusked humanoid - an orc?

There is a trapdoor against the east wall.

It was locked, but appears to have been crowbarred open.

Syrus (Kenny):@Team "These are foes probs from the basement - the noble lady may have burnt them?"

Percy (Christian):*percy will attempt to determine how the goblins and "orc " died

Simon N. (GM):Medicine DC 10

Percy (Christian):

Simon N. (GM):Definitely burnt to death, blast from the front?

Erasmus:Stepping gingerly over the skeletons as not to disturb them, Erasmus enters the room

Dawn Wintersmorn:"Oo! Could be a Burning Hands spell - very powerful magic!"

Syrus (Kenny):Syrus would like to go through the noble dress

Erasmus:"Wait"

Dawn Wintersmorn:The skeleton's robes are mouldering and spattered in long dried blood.

Syrus (Kenny):@Dawn (maybe OOC?) is Burning hands a cantrip?"

Erasmus:"Let's not go defiling this corpse - it could be the tether for the ghost we seek."

Dawn Wintersmorn:"A 1st order spell!"

Syrus (Kenny):Syrus eyerolls

Syrus would like to check the bed and under the bad

Tenho:Tenho looks at the trapdoor. "Hmm... wonder where this leads."

Simon N. (GM):Sorry that was GM :)

Syrus (Kenny):"ohhhh!"

Erasmus:To Tenho: "Shall we have a look?"

Tenho:Tenho: "Sure - help me lift it."

Erasmus:Assists Tenho open the trapdoor

Percy (Christian):"possibly the bed was moved to gain assess to the trapdoor after this little scuffle"

Syrus (Kenny):Syrus nods at Percy

Simon N. (GM):Together Erasmus & Tenho lift the heavy trapdoor. You see a dark and narrow spiral stair leading down, steps are only 2' wide, you'll need to squeeze - except Percy.

Percy (Christian):OOC :)

Syrus (Kenny):@Team shall we finish looking at this floor before looking down the trapdoor?"

Tenho:"If you wish."

Percy (Christian):"probably the best idea"

Erasmus:"Okay. Let's close this for now.

Simon N. (GM):You close the trapdoor.

Syrus (Kenny):@Percy "your pick on the next door!"

Jyrdani of Jiyyd:Jyrdani: "This one?"

Percy (Christian):"north west?"

Syrus (Kenny):"Lets go!"

Jyrdani of Jiyyd:KICK

Simon N. (GM):The old door bursts open...

A large table and four chairs stand in this chamber.

Against another wall stands a dusty desk, its drawers pulled out

and smashed on the floor. Mouldering paper surrounds the desk.

Erasmus:I'd like to check the papers

Simon N. (GM):Tenho sees the papers and his eyes light up. "Aha!"

Percy (Christian):"someone has already searched this room"

Syrus (Kenny):Syrus would like to check the large table and chairs

Simon N. (GM):Tenho & Erasmus start going through the papers.

Erasmus:OOC Huh? Who said that?!

Simon N. (GM):Jyrdani kneels down and picks up a pouch from the hole under the desk.

Weighing it.

Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"Hm. Coins."

Percy (Christian):"what about coins?"

Tenho:Tenho is going through the notes. "Aha! So Valentin Ironwolf believed that Hadramkath was in fact Khundrakar! Not an uncommon view... but these schematics show a secret orc tunnel into the Fallen Halls, bypassing the Ogre clan that dwells above!"

"Excellent!" he beams.

Syrus (Kenny):@tenho does all this gibberish mean that you have now a route to that dwarven city you spoke of?"

Tenho:Tenho shows Syrus the notes. Lots of stuff about the Fallen Halls - Khundrakar, the dwarf warlord Durgeddin, his smithing of the legendary Dwarven Weapons of Power...

"Well, sort of Syrus. Yes! This will need much more investigation, but all indications are that Valentin Ironwolf had discovered a potentially unguarded access to the weapons forges of Hadramkath."

Syrus (Kenny):@Percy "I think Tenho means theres a lot of good loot ahead" *winks

Percy (Christian):Percy smiles

Syrus (Kenny):@Tenho "NICE!"

Jyrdani of Jiyyd:Jydani counts out 25gp from the pouch, and a small vial. She sniffs it. "Oil."

Syrus (Kenny):OOC so is Tenho going over the notes that Erasmus is holding?

Jyrdani of Jiyyd:Tenho grins at Syrus. "Indeed!"

Erasmus:OOC I gave the papers to Tenho

Syrus (Kenny):OOC I see! Missed that bit :-P

Erasmus:OOC What was that you were saying about not being very perceptive? lol

Simon N. (GM):Jyrdani hands out 4gp to each of you (can add to PC sheet), taking 5 herself.

Syrus (Kenny):@Erasmus touché!! LOL ;)

Jyrdani: "Handy..." she stoppers the vial.

Syrus (Kenny):@Dawn this will be good to help slay the Ghost! Maybe this one is for you Erasmus?

Percy (Christian):"thanks for the gold"

Dawn Wintersmorn:Jyrdani: "If a ghost needs killing, I'll kill it."

Erasmus:"Thank you Jyrdani. That oil will come in useful. Any of us without a magic weapon would benefit, but it doesn't look like there is enough for more than a single application."

Syrus (Kenny):@Team ...anything else to do in this room, or shall we look at the last room?

Percy (Christian):"i think we should go to the last room"

Jyrdani of Jiyyd:BOOT

Syrus (Kenny):OOC THERE IT IS!

Simon N. (GM):Dust shrouds this obviously looted bedchamber. The small

skeleton of a child lies sprawled among the ruin. Above the

skeleton hovers the translucent figure of a young boy, his

spectral face streaked with tears.

Syrus (Kenny):@Jyrdani - you seem hesitated - whats there?

Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"Ghost!"

Syrus (Kenny):@Ghost: "Young Boy, what is your name?"

Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"Einar sob"

Simon N. (GM):said the ghost :)

"Einar Ironwolf"

Syrus (Kenny):"Einar, How is it that you are not at rest - is that your body here"

"What is keeping you from crossing over"

Simon N. (GM):Gaping, ragged wounds (including a slashed throat) pierce this

spectral child’s bloodstained nightshirt and body. Tears roll

down its cheeks as it regards you with red eyes filled with a

mixture of fear and loathing.

Syrus (Kenny):"We are not here to cause pain, we are investigating - what happened to you?"

Simon N. (GM):Illumination: Windows framed by open shutters allow bright

light into this chamber.

Bed: The moulding sheets and bedspread have obviously

been slashed. A large dried bloodstain covers much of the bed.

Skeleton: The skeleton is of a young human child of about

10‐years‐old. Deep gashes in his

Simon N. (GM):vertebrae that suggest someone sawed at this throat with a

jagged blade.

Simon N. (GM):Einar wipes away a spectral tear, sniffling, and gives Syrus a wan smile. "I want to rest beside mummy and daddy. Bury us together?"

"Daddy died in the Great Hall. Mummy is closer."

Syrus (Kenny):@Erasmus whispering "The lady next door mum be his mum - can you recall where his dad is?"

@Percy Do you remember too?

Simon N. (GM):GM: There were a lot of bones in the Great Hall where you killed the spiders.

Syrus (Kenny):@Ghost "We can certainly try to bury you all together"

Percy (Christian):ye i remember

Simon N. (GM):Einar nods gratefully.

Syrus (Kenny):"Are you able to follow us to show us where your mum and dad are?"

Simon N. (GM):Einar looks thoughtful. "OK." He wafts through the east wall...

Erasmus:"I'm sure the woman in the bed next door would be this boy's mother. We should gather the remains."

Tenho:Tenho coughs and mutters. "The Moonsword?"

Syrus (Kenny):Syrus now feel guilty for going through Einor mum's robes

"Is this your mother?"

Simon N. (GM):Einar: "Kaarina - my mummy."

Syrus (Kenny):@Tenho "shhhhh!"

Simon N. (GM):"She was very brave. Look, she killed three monsters!"

Tenho shrugs and falls silent.

"I'm sure if you bury us, she'd want you to have the Treasure."

Syrus (Kenny):"Will carrying your mum's remain help to move her with you?"

Erasmus:"Syrus, as if we are safe to collect the remains of the three of them."

Syrus (Kenny):OOC balls I have to start my Zoom call now for 30/45mins - can you guys take over?

Simon N. (GM):Einar: "Take my bones too. Bury us under the trees? I always liked the trees."

GM: I fancy a 15 minute break now - resume 7.40 ok?

Syrus (Kenny):*Syrus hands moon sword to Erasumus, in case the party needs it

Erasmus:*Collects the remains of Einar."

Percy (Christian):ok i am fine with a break

Syrus (Kenny):@Percy @Erasmus: Let's try to resolve this without violence

Erasmus:No Worries.

Percy (Christian):"good idea"

Syrus (Kenny):Be right back! :)

Simon N. (GM):With Einar's bones he is able to go downstairs with you and point out his father's remains near the east end of the great hall.

(ok back in 15)

(back)

Erasmus:me too

Simon N. (GM):GM: Are you collecting the three sets of bones and burying them in the woods?

Erasmus:I believe that is the preferred course of action. Unless anyone else has any specific objections?

Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"Sounds good to me."

Dawn Wintersmorn:"It's for the best."

Tenho:"Aretha won't be happy - but do as you think best."

Erasmus:"What is Aretha's connection here?"

Simon N. (GM):It's not too hard to scrape out the loose soil beneath the trees and dig down fairly deep.

Percy (Christian):"i think it is the best path of action"

Erasmus:"Why would she object?"

Tenho:"She wanted the moonsword used to kill the ghost... I think she wanted to harvest the boy's soul for some magic."

"Or to trade, perhaps."

Dawn Wintersmorn:"That's horrible, Tenho!"

Percy (Christian):"souls are valuable because no one wants to give theirs up"

Erasmus:"This child's soul must be allowed to pass on. If Aretha is in need of a soul, let us find one that is not so innocent."

Dawn Wintersmorn:"I agree!"

Percy (Christian):"screw that hag"

Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"I'm inclined to agree, also."

Erasmus:"Mmm... I doubt Syrus would agree to going that far with her..."

Tenho:Tenho looks nervous. "You do understand... Aretha is extremely powerful? Those who cross her tend not to live long and happy lives."

Erasmus:"This child did not live a long and happy life. I cannot, by the light of St Sollars, condone the harvesting of this child's soul."

Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"We all have to die sometime, Tenho. I'm with Erasmus."

Percy (Christian):"we should but the child to rest"

Dawn Wintersmorn:"Me too! St Sollars teaches us to protect the innocent - not give them to a hag!"

Erasmus:"If she wishes to sent us on some other errand, perhaps to assist Mirabelle, we can consider that at that time."

Dawn Wintersmorn:Tenho nods resignedly. "As you will. I suggest we avoid the Jagged Tower for the foreseeable future. Mirabelle can take her back the Moonsword."

Simon N. (GM):sorry was Tenho :)

Erasmus:"That we can do."

Percy (Christian):"i think that will be best"

Simon N. (GM):GM: You get to work, and soon the three skeletons are buried well enough no casual wildlife are likely to dig them up.

Erasmus:In the absence of a cleric, Erasmus says some words as the remains are committed to the ground.

Simon N. (GM):Einar smiles at Erasmus as he fades away...

GM: OK you all get Inspiration!

Erasmus:Erasmus also spills some holy water over the graves to ward off evil.

Percy (Christian):OOC can you get more than one inspiration

Simon N. (GM):It's about 1pm now and you're hot from your work and quite hungry.

ooc no sadly

best to spend it every session

Percy (Christian):OOC ok

Erasmus:"Shall we head back and check that trapdoor?"

Tenho:Tenho munches on some jerky. "Good idea."

Percy (Christian):"i think yes"

Erasmus:OOC have a holy water flask. Would that be a single use thing, or can it be more for sprinkling?

Simon N. (GM):GM: You head back up to the keep's upper floor, Percy's little legs causing him to fall behind. :)

OOC: I'd say 3/5 of a vial for the 3 skeletons.

Erasmus:OOC Ok, ta.

Simon N. (GM):Jyrdani and Erasmus get the trapdoor back open.

The narrow spiral winds down for 20' to ground level, then widens as it descends into the ground...

Erasmus:As Syrus is the only one that can see in the dark, he should lead.

Simon N. (GM):Dawn uses Light

Syrus can too

Erasmus:Or there's that!

Simon N. (GM):10' below ground the stairs end at the west end of a low ceilinged stone corridor.

At the east end of the corridor, stout wooden doors bar

further progress. Above the door, a horrible carving of a demon

leers down at you.

Erasmus:"Percy - any chance you check for traps?"

Simon N. (GM):Ceiing here is only 7'.

Percy (Christian):what skill is trap checking?

Percy (Christian):

Simon N. (GM):depends what you're doing though

The doors are firm shut and have no visible lock. There seems to be a small rock(?) inside the leering demon face's mouth, above the door.

Percy (Christian):can i grab it

Simon N. (GM):It's too high for you to grab.

Percy (Christian):embarrassed i will ask erasmus to grab it

Simon N. (GM):Inspecting it, it looks like a small raised protuberance in the back of the mouth, not loose.

Erasmus:"Not to worry, Percy."

Erasmus:To GM: Would we have any sense of where this door may be in relation to where we got to in the tunnels beneath the keep?

Simon N. (GM):No way to tell if the rock is a trigger.

You were near the east wall of the keep. You should now be under the courtyard.

The caves were much further down.

Erasmus:Deeper?

Or further south?

Percy (Christian):"i geuss so"

Simon N. (GM):The stairs down to the caves went down much further yes.

Erasmus:"Tenho, Jyrdani, what are your thoughts?"

Simon N. (GM):The roofs of the caves would be about 20' below your current position.

Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"I can boot the doors?"

Simon N. (GM):Percy - looks like the doors swing open towards you, so that wouldn't work well.

Percy (Christian):"i wouldn't advise that"

Erasmus:"Hmm... Dawn - do you perhaps have the means to manipulat the stone from a distance?"

Tenho:"This is likely the famous Ironwolf treasure vault."

Dawn Wintersmorn:thinks hard "Yes! I can!"

squints at demon mouth "I can summon an Unseen Servant and have it push the button!"

Erasmus:"Then I think that would be the safest option. let us back up in case of... consequenses."

Percy (Christian) backs up

Simon N. (GM):Looking past Percy, Dawn mutters an incantation.

There's a loud click from the door.

Suddenly the demon mouth's jaws slam shut.

Percy - you think the doors are now slightly ajar.

Hi Kenny!

Erasmus:No other effect?

Simon N. (GM):nothing obvious

Kenny - Syrus:Just finished my call - longer than expected!! Just need the loo quickly!

Tenho:"I think the doors just opened. Jyrdani, be a dear and..."

Erasmus:Is there any light inside?

Tenho:Erasmus goes to the doors. As he steps up they swing open!

Erasmus:"Oh, shit..."

Tenho:This dusty chamber has a low ceiling – barely eight‐feet high and shield.

several niches pierce the walls. Against one wall rests a black

shield and a longsword of obviously fine make. In front of you a

sinuous snake skeleton topped with a fanged human skull rises

gracefully from the floor...

Simon N. (GM):Erasmus I'll do you first, then the monster, then everyone

Erasmus:Tosses the Moon touched sword to Syrus

Kenny - Syrus:OOC Yikes - this looks like a boss battle??!

Simon N. (GM):There are chests in the alcoves, and a shining longsword & shield against the far wall.

Kenny - Syrus:Syrus catches the sword, nods to Erasmus

Simon N. (GM):Are you moving too Erasmus?

Erasmus:OOC I can't get in
