"I think it's a cursed, cursed place." Ridcully whispers back, "The little girl makes me sad, but that thing that comes to the door is yucky. I think we should attack right after the girl fades away, and try to leave her alone."

Quote from: CavScout;290377Stralor mutters, "What kind of cursed place is this?"

Speaking low while still looking at the backyard, Fargrim says, "see how the bloated zombie patrols the house, and two dwarven skeletons guard that room?  Something binds their unnatural wills to this place.  I have no practical experience with matters of the Unliving.  My strategy would be to try and catch the zombie alone downstairs and hope the dwarf skeletons don't react.  Are there special precautions that must be taken when fighting ghosts or zombies?  What about the little girl ghost?"

Fargrim looks from Stralor to Edwena, clearly relying on their religious training and experience for a suggestion, or some guidance.

Quote from: CavScout;290385OCC: Does it seem that any of the creatures notice us?

(You have not been noticed yet- if you remain behind the wall and pretty much whisper.. you will not be seen..)

Edwena looks over to Fargrim and whispers "You notice that when the zombie appears at the door, the little girl turns to the door and disappears as she enters inside?"  Edwean catches her breath, "I might be able to immobilize one or both of them so we can make our way up towards the skeletons, but it won't last long."


OOC: As soon as a question is answered I will let everyone know if this idea will work.

OOC: My question is to the group.  I receive my answer from AM, but what I want to know is should I assume that would be the direction everyone would want to go, or should decisions be voted on?  I don't want to jump the gun and throw stuff out there unless everyone has offered up their decision.  

With the pace of the game I don't want to hold back the group either.  So please let me know how you want to proceed.

Sure, whatcha got?  I've got nothing other than kick in the door and start hacking.[/I]

Edwena awaits for the apparition to appear again.  She feels for the cold air which warns of the little girls coming. Edwena will sneak up behind the girl as she turns around for the opening of the door.  She will try to surprise the girl as well as the zombie, hoping to sear and immobilize them both.

"Avandra, please fill me with you divine power so I may turn these undead," she prays to her deity


Roll for turn undead. +6 for Wis & CA. (1d20+6=21)

Damage for turn undead. (1d10+4=12)

OOC: Should I roll for both, or is one roll okay?   Also I will not be back until late this afternoon or night fall for another post.

Ridcully readies his sling and looks to Edena for the  cue to attack.

Stralor, "Before we strike, are we sure all these cursed souls are evil in intent and purpose?"

Shroom smiles with wide eyes, "Maybe we should go ask them!" He approaches, "Excuse me, accursed creatures, is there any one of you who is not evil?"

Edwena is caught off guard by the paladin's remarks and turns to him to justify her prayer.  "I apologize if I acted too quickly, I just feel an unnatural and unexplainable fear when the girl appears."  She hold back the energy surging through her body.  "I thought we were on a mission to lay to rest the dwarf skeletons above, and I have rarely run into helpful undead.."    After she whispers her remarks to the Stralor, she watches Shroom walk up to the undead to ask their intent.

Ridcully slips into the shadows of the nearby wall.

Stealth roll: 18

OOC: (Uhm, we lost Stralor, as Cavscout has been banned).

Ridcully slips into the shadows once again.

Edwena starts to ready a turn undead, and pryas to her deity...

Let's just say that Edwena has a turn undead all cued up and ready to go (it would take a moment before the zombie opens the door so he doesn't use it immediately.. and then he cancels it, when Shroom walks up to talk to the ghostly girl.)

"Excuse me, accursed creatures, is there any one of you who is not evil?"

The little girl ghost turns, and Shroom realizes that the area is freezing cold around her.

She looks at him for a moment, and then motions him off to the side, away from the view of the door, towards a pile of scattered debris and rubble. Shroom looks down and notices a scrap of faded cloth tucked into the rubble that seems out of place. The rest of the group can circle around the wall and get close enough to her that you can't be seen from the window or door.

The ghostly child speaks in a faraway voice.

~"My mother says that a black wave is coming, but I don't want to leave.."~

The ghostly child seems agitated about something, and wants to impart information, but supernatural forces seem to keep her from explaining what it is, and she may revert to a dangerous undead form at any moment.  

OOC: You are now in a 6/3 skill challenge.

Insight Check (1d20+8=27)

Shroom raises an eyebrow and stares, looking over the girl, wondering what she is keeping from him, "Is there something amiss? Speak up, I can't quite hear you."

Shroom raises an eyebrow and stares, looking over the girl, wondering what she is keeping from him, "Is there something amiss? Speak up, I can't quite hear you."

She rolls her eyes (which is a bit disturbing for a ghost).. and points at the pile of debris. Shroom suddenly realizes the scrap of colored rags at the edge of the pile of debris is the same color (although faded) as the dress the ghostly child wears.

"~My doll is lost, and the black wave is almost here. Or it has been here. And it will be here again. The witch used to visit my mother, and she would bring me treats. I think she must have put something in them.. ~"


OOC:
That is one success.
