Morgen Keep IC

[Faeryl_]

Gwain doesn't spy anything too out of place in the room the party fought the Acid Beasts in.

For tracks, the worked stone of the floor renders most attempts to find out of the ordinary moot. A close examination only reveals the faint scratches of the Beasts' claws on the stone, much like you'd see with a pack of wolves or wild dogs.

Fang's nose is mostly filled with the acrid stench of melted stone mixed with blood from where the acid beasts were slain or spat acid at people. Casting about the room, he can smell something different by the southern door, however. Unlike the western entryway, there is still a rotted door hanging on the frame here. He's not really sure what this smell is, but it's different from the Acid Beasts.

"Let's hold off on going west. I'm not too keen on facing more of those spitters again. Get into position."

Ryzia heads to the southern door, and prepares to open outward from the side.

After he and Fang search again, he pulls wolfs ear "I bet if I was looking alone I'd at least find a bone for you, you jinx." Wolf just seems happy that Gwain's skin seems healthy with barely scarring anywhere and excitedly jumps between him and Winter.

Meanwhile, as Ryzia takes the position he raises one finger at her to points he'll need a moment. He grabs an old, now empty, chest from the corner, by one handle and pushes it away from the corner to make more space. Then steps 10 ft North from the door (K-12) and readies the arrow clicking once to call Fang to him just waiting for Joren to decide on a starting position so he can place Fang next to him.

Skills:6+Int modifier per level, quadruple at first level. Class skills are Concentration, Diplomacy, Escape Artist, Handle Animal, Heal, Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Spot, Swim.

Proficiencies: Nymph is proficient with club, dagger, dart, quarterstaff, sickle, short spear, and sling.

Features:

Nature Child: The Nymph loses all other racial bonuses and gains fey traits (basically Low-light vision). She's a fey with a base speed of 30 feet and a swim speed of 20.

The nymph casts spells like a druid of the same Nymph level. Suppose she multiclass's as a druid Nymph levels and druid levels stack for determining her spellcasting ability. She can choose to use her Charisma as a primary stat for her spellcasting, and if she multi-classed with the druid, the Nymph can use Cha instead of Wis for casting.

Ability increase: Nymph gains Cha + 1 at levels 1, 3, 5 and 7, and Dex +1 at levels 2, 4, 6 and 7.

Fey Body: At the second level, the Nymph gains DR/cold iron equal to half her HD.

Wild Empathy: At level 2 Nymph gains Wild Empathy as a druid, with a +6 bonus on check. If you have Wild Empathy from some other source your Nymph levels stack with that class for Wild Empathy (you still get a +6 bonus).

Unearthly Grace: At the third level, a Nymph adds her Charisma modifier as a bonus on all her saving throws.

Stunning Glance: As a standard action, a Nymph can stun a creature within 30 feet with a look. The target creature must succeed on a Fortitude save with DC equal to 10+1/2HD+Cha modifier or be stunned for 2d4 rounds. Nymph can use this ability Hd x Cha modifier times per day.

Unnatural Beauty: The Nymph gains a deflection bonus to AC equal to her Cha modifier.

Dimension Door: Dimension Door 1/day as a SLA for each 2HD she has.

Blinding Beauty: This ability affects all creatures within 10 feet per 2 HD of a nymph. Those who look directly at a nymph must succeed on a Fortitude save with a DC equal to 10+1/2HD+Cha or be blinded permanently as though by the Blindness spell. A Nymph can suppress or resume this ability as a free action, but it can't affect the same target more than once in a single day. This ability can be active for HD+Cha mod rounds per day.

Winter kept to the rear whilst the more martial inclined took the direction and the brunt of any attack, she hoped that no one would get hurt as this mission was quickly becoming very dangerous.

Once everyone is in position, Ryzia nudges the door the rest of the way open. Doing so reveals... an empty room? That doesn't seem right. It's Winter who notices first; the enemy is on the ceiling! A cluster of half a dozen bat-like creatures hang from the ceiling, watching your party. It seems that they won't attack until you set foot into the room (or they get bored).

((If you plan to engage them, please roll for initiative. Otherwise, you may shut the door and leave them be.))

[rorytheromulan]

 Ryzia Redswan

Ryzia slowly shuts the door.

"I don't know about you, but I don't want to risk it all just yet for a few tomes that may crumble at the merest touch, whatever their value."

She walks over to the western door to open it, not taking up a position, assuming the threat on the other side to be the acid beasts they had just dealt with.

OOC: Same again, this time in front of the door, you may take up position again before I commit.

[Faeryl_]

The first door on the western wall opens into a long, narrow hallway that the Acid Beasts came out of. There are several barrels immediately to your left that are in surprisingly good condition for their supposed age. On the opposite wall there is another door leading deeper into the keep. The light from the party's light stone/torches reveals another doorway at the far end of this long hallway.

((I adjusted everyone's position on the map to be next to the nearest closed door. You are otherwise in roughly the same positions as before.))

Gently nudging the door open just enough to see within, Ryzia spies a pair of stone sarcophagi. They appear fully sealed from afar, but you won't know for certain unless you get a closer look. This is also, so far as you can tell, the only way to explore the keep further. You can sense no hostiles in this room.

Ryzia goes to one sarcophagi to try to push the lid off of it to loot the occupant.

Gwain stands at the door looking at the sarcophaguses sceptically "I know two things, only one pertinent to your question. If you can't push the lid by force then yes, there is usually a key. It could be magic, but it doesn't have to. Search the sarcophagus for holes, indentations or pieces of writing. The second thing I know that is not pertinent to your question is that, to me, this room looks more dangerous than the last one."

He glances toward the Joren and Winter "Any of you have "Detect Evil" memorized by any chance? I ask for a friend...that's trying to open ancient sealed sarcophagus...and unleash whatever is inside." He carefully enters the room and looks down at the burial boxes and decorations on them.

[Faeryl_]

Gwain's knowledge of psionics helps him not. He can find no strange holes or markings on the sarcophagi in his cursory examination. (Remember that if you don't mind spending extra time, Take 10 is an option.)

[Grudge]

Count 14 on the Spot then (Always forget about take 10's)

[Faeryl_]

A more thorough examination reveals some markings, but nothing jumps out as odd. Well, except for the fact that all of it is "odd" by way of being a language/dialect you're unfamiliar with. It looks pretty similar to Common, and you suspect with some effort and maybe a few days' work you and the others could puzzle it out, but at the same time it is unlikely to be worth the effort. Magical writing is rarely in Common, after all. It's probably just an inscription telling you who was interred within.
