"We could just close . . ." Novia starts to suggest as Doorfin charges in. "I guess not". She readies her holy symbol just in case the corpse is more than just a corpse.

Doorfin

It's an easy matter to behead the corpse hanging from the ceiling as its half-mummified anyway. Your axe parts bone and flesh alike, and the body crashes to the floor in a tangle of limbs.

You look up from the body to see the ghost of the madman whose corpse you just decapitated standing inches away from you. The ghost is wide-eyed and gaunt, its face scratched bloody.

You stagger backward in surprise, and the ghost begins to scream.

Everyone

You all see the ghost appear, fading into the room only a split second after its body falls to the floor. Before any of you can act, it begins to scream.

The scream is supernaturally loud and carries all the pain of whatever torment the madman had suffered before taking his own life.

You hold your ears against the noise, but the sound cuts through your hands as easily as Doorfin's axe cut through the flesh of the corpse.

 

** OOC - Everyone needs to make TWO DC 12 Fort Saves, each against a different effect.

Shaun

Shaun isn't aware of the ghost before the terrifying scream cuts through the hallway he's in. His hands offer no help against the sound and he grimaces as his body contorts in agony.

Flickwit was on high alert, keeping an eye out for any movement on either side of the hall. When the ghostly scream tears through the hall and rips through his concentration, he nearly falls to his knees in pain and terror.

All of you crouch down, holding your ears and trying not to let the sound of that scream pierce your mind. Some of you come away with bloody fingers. Others can't hear anything but a loud ringing in their ears.

But after several moments, the screaming stops, and the ghost vanishes.

Anyone left in the inn must have heard that scream.

What do you do?

Seeing Doorfin take the worst of the bloody shriek, Novia moves over to the dwarf and touches her holy symbol to him and says a quick prayer.

Not realizing that some of the crew is unable to hear, she suggests "We should head straight to Ms. Alice's room and search it before something horrible comes to investigate. "

Doorfin is fully healed of the sonic damage.

Shaun

Shaun staggers, shaking his head as he comes to realize the world sounds like he was swaddled in cotton - except for the damn ringing.

"WHAT WAS THAT? PETULANT POULTRY, BUT I CAN'T HEAR A GODS DAMN THING!"

He's not shouting, but he's not being exactly quiet either.

The shrieking pierced through the Dwarf's core and blood easily ran from under his helmet down along his chest and shoulders. He stood there, stunned for a moment as sound was reduced to a ringing--and all too familiar sensation for some.

Doørfin was startled as Novia healed him, confusion swirling on his face as he shrank behind his shield. The pain went away but the ringing remained. He could see the woman mouthing words, then Shaun trying to say something.

"WOT!! AH CANNAE HEAR YA!!" Doørfin shouted, thinking it would someone allow him to hear better.

With as much wherewithal as the Dwarf could muster, he quickly searched the rest of the room. He was in no mood to be careful anymore and would hack things open if necessary to get at their contents. He hadn't more than a moment before to see if there was even anything to rifle through.

Novia groans at the group's misfortune. She gives the hand gesture while slow saying and clearly stating "Follow Me". Then she points to the Ms. Alice's door. Then she pantomimes opening the door. Using her hands, she acts like she is moving things around. "Search the room." she slowly states just in case anyone can read lips.

Then she waits to see if Doorfin or Shaun understands.

Flickwit shakes his head and moves his jaw, trying to pop his ears and stop the ringing, but nothing seems to work. He begins to help the others, helping any fallen companions to their feet, when a horrible thought strikes, and his body feels as if it were dipped in a frozen stream of terror. That screech was loud; incredibly loud. And it probably attracted the attention of other monstrosities. He signals to the others that he is going to sneak off for a second and check their rear to see if anything is coming to investigate the noise, and slips away down the hall.

Shaun

Shaun acknowledges Flickwit's pantomiming and watches the man slip away, then follows Novia's lead to Malice's door. He watches her gesturing intently, repeating her instructions after her.

"Open door."

"Eh.. room? Search room. Understood."

He gives Novia and everyone else still present a thumbs up.
