Calor shrugs, and follows the party.
The other wing... Wednesday November 1st, 2006 6:24:51 PM
The dumbwaiter was not apparent in the cellar. It is possible that it was behind a pile of crates.
Calor follows the group, but where to.
A decision is made, by Eclip, to go to the other wing of the house.
"Finally!" Says Toothache. "Maybe something will be found."
Moving along the hall, through the conservatory (Wisdom checks please), to the gallery doors. Toothache opens the gallery door leading from the conservatory and the lights come on.
Toothache and Eclip move the group into the curved gallery, the paintings are faded and peeling, save one. This painting is of a very attractive young woman.
Eclip and Spirit d20+3=13 Wednesday November 1st, 2006 8:57:38 PM
Eclip and Spirit move through the conservatory (Wisdom Check+3: DC13) Eclip glances around and stops for a moment but continues on to the gallery. Upon seeing the un-faded painting, Eclip examines it closer trying to determine if it is just newer than the rest of the paintings or if there are any clues to the young woman's identity. "Wonder who she is? Doloff wife maybe?"
Spirit follows along side of Eclip.
Lenoir d20+1=13 Thursday November 2nd, 2006 5:06:26 AM
The fighter goes from painting to painting, looking at the faded and peeling painting, Lenoir stops behind Toothache and Eclips, "Hmmm! Pretty Woman!"
Wisdom check 13(barely made it>?
Gentian d20+2=12 Thursday November 2nd, 2006 1:13:02 PM

Gentian enters the room without a care or hint of trouble.
The conservatory Thursday November 2nd, 2006 1:49:15 PM
Moving through the conservatory reveals nothing of interest again. (Eclip, check email please)
The sounds of wind and rain cutting through the broke glass is faint and a little spooky. Time has passed so smoothly that it is hard to know exactly how much time has passed today.
Eclip and Spirit d20=11 Thursday November 2nd, 2006 3:45:20 PM
[OOC: email check DC 11 failed {no message received yet}]
After examining the undamaged painting, Eclip cast a detect magic spells in order to scan the lady's painting and the rest of the gallery.
Spirit sniffs at some interesting scent on the ground he has found.
Gentian Thursday November 2nd, 2006 3:54:43 PM
Gentian says, "Look!" He points out some tiny footprints on the floor.
"Can anyone track these? Can anyone look for invisible creatures?"
Gentian tries to rememebr if he saw any flour in the kitchen, or of there is any ash in fireplaces herabouts. Flour or ash might work as low-tech ways to highlight the unseen.
Tracks Thursday November 2nd, 2006 7:11:03 PM
(OOC Gentian recieved Eclips email by mistake. My bad.)
The two can't actually find a source of the tracks, but know that there are a signifant number of fey about.

Calor takes the news of the fey thoughtfully. "OK, so there are a bunch of little folk about. Maybe they can help tell us what is up with this place."
The wizard calls out, "Hello? We're just trying to help. Maybe you can show us the way?"
The brown haired wizard waits for an answer, but doesn't really expect one.
Lenoir Friday November 3rd, 2006 6:33:30 AM
"Fays!" Lenoir questions Calor, "You say Little people? If I remember anything about Fays, is they love to play trick on BIG people!"
Lenoir start to look around, muttering"Don't be afraid of big people like Me? I love little Fays! I just want my Horse Back!!"
Gentian Friday November 3rd, 2006 9:33:06 AM
The more that they spend time here, the firmer Gentian is that the only problem with this house is not ghosts or undead, but an infestation of fey.
"What can we do to make it so unpleasant for Fey that they will want to leave?"
Toothache d20+7=16 d20+7=23 d20+8=24 Friday November 3rd, 2006 1:18:51 PM
The dwarf scratches his ample beard in thought. "Maybe this man, Doloff, did something he shouldn't have? Or maybe something foul happened here that the fey still remember." He thinks a moment. "I remember a rumor that this town wasn't more than a small camp of sorts about 400 years ago. Its said that when they decided to build permanent structures here, nature hindered progress."
(Spot 16, Listen 23, Knowledge Local 24)
The game is afoot Friday November 3rd, 2006 2:33:12 PM
Something new has been added to the mystery; fey. Perhaps some more clues can be found in the other unexplored rooms.
(Please roll me a d20 twice)
Calor d20=16 d20=4 Friday November 3rd, 2006 3:11:57 PM
"Nature hindered progress? Great, the Fae King all over again," Calor responds sourly. "The good news Lenoir, is fey would be nice to your horse. So, its probably around here somewhere."
The wizard thinks a moment. "So, our best bet is probably find a way to talk with these guys, or find out some other way what has got 'em ticked off."
"Which I'm thinking might be back in them books in the library. Let's keep looking for the stairs going up. That'd be a big help here."
The wizard pushes on to the next room.
Eclip and Spirit d20=8 d20=15 d20+11=31 Friday November 3rd, 2006 4:15:25 PM
With the talk of Fey, Eclip thinks back to what nature lore he knows about Fey and how to deal with them (Nature knowledge check+11: DC 31). Just on the off chance eclip calls out to the Fey in Druid and then Sylvan, "Fey, we wish to talks about any grievances you may have with this house or the people who have lived here!" Once they move on to the gallery, Eclip will examining the lady's picture that is un-faded and also cast detect magic to search for magic effects in the gallery.
Spirit tags along at Eclips side.

Gentian bows to Eclip. The halfling knows just enough about fey lore to know that he is out of his league. Maybe Eclip CAN get them to talk.
He tries to help Eclip's diplomacy: Aid Another roll is 19 to give Eclip a +2.

Diplomacy...? d20+1=12 d100=72 Monday November 6th, 2006 3:38:16 PM
The group remains in the conservatory for the time being, hoping to get the fey to reveal themselves.
A voice issues from the dwarf, "Diplomacy is useless. We must burn down this house! Its haunted." Toothache pulls his crossbow and looks around wildly, looking at the walls and muttering to himself about the wooden stonework.
Everyone roll two d20s please.

[d20 rolls: 10 and 15]
Calor looks alarmed at the dwarf's erratic behavior.
"What are you, nuts?" he asks incredulously. "You were making sense with the exploration suggestions. Now you're getting weird. Maybe we should move to library and relax a bit."
Calor keeps an eye on Toothache. Maybe he's been subjected to some kind of spell? [Spellcraft 19, Sense Motive 6]
DM response Monday November 6th, 2006 6:16:20 PM
Yes, two more d20.
If I asked you to roll a skill, you would expect to find something. If I asked for a save, you'd expect some sort of attack. Right?
Relax, I will be fair with everything. I am also intending to push the module forward. Fact is, I am late in finishing the module.
Eclip and Spirit Monday November 6th, 2006 9:32:55 PM
Eclip turns to the dwarf, "Wait! Toothache are you speaking for the fey? I mean are they are they speaking through you?"
Eclip continues assuming they are since the dwarf is acting too erratic, addressing the fey again "What or who is haunting this house?"
Spirit glances around nervously.
(OOC: I didn't mean to question the dice roll request. I was just confused as to where you were repeating your previous request or making a new one. Since so few responded the first time.)
breanna d20=1 d20=19 Monday November 6th, 2006 11:48:18 PM "We're not here to burn down the house, but just find out what is causing the problems and if we can to fix it." breanna gently scolds. However she doesnt see much wrong with what the dwarf said, she just figures that he is afraid of things like ghosts, fey, ect.

Dwarf daze.... d20+3=5 d4+1=5 d100=55 Tuesday November 7th, 2006 10:55:36 AM
Everyone is sure the dwarf was just confused.
Calor and Eclip pretty much realize fey magic is being cast. The air is filled with it.
Toothache shakes his head, dazed. A faint music begins; haunting string instruments. Toothache looks at his leg attempting to brush away something. Almost immediately the rogue begins tap dancing, even more confused.
Lenoir gets a tingle through his body. (Will save DC 14 for flee from the conservatory)
Still, no one sees anything.
"Leave outlanders and you will not be harmed." Says a highpitched, disembodied female voice.
This form of diplomacy may not be effective.
Eclip and Spirit Tuesday November 7th, 2006 11:35:40 AM
Eclip cast detect magic in order to locate the location of the fey by their magic auras. As he scans he continues to talk to the fey, "We were sent here by the elemental powers because of something to do with the coming full moon. We can't leave until we know what is to happen and what we are to do about it."
Spirit stick close to Eclip.

Gentian calls out, "Tricks are no good! Come out, you fey, and show yourselves! We are here to make you quit this place! Come, maybe we can cut a deal. Either that or we will make you go!"
Gentian uses his keen hearing to locate the fey: Listen checks: 20, 29, 24.
He draws an animal from his Rust Bag of Tricks and tries to put it near the female fey voice: a Boar!
Gentian reads a Speak with Animals scroll. He tells the boar and his Riding Dog to find the fey with their scent.
He tells his Bat Familiar to find the fey using his blindsense. He gives the bat a cold iron bullet to hold with the Hand of the Mage it is wearing, and to hover the bullet over the fey.
Finally, Gentian gets out a cold iron bullet and loads it in his sling. He is ready to hurl it at any fey that his animal friends (or his own ears) locate.
He also orders the boar to gore any fey he smells.
Roll to attack: Gentian: Hits AC19 for 5 (99 miss chance means he hits (miss on a 1-50) Boar: Hits AC23 for 4 (miss chance 56 is a hit)

Breanna tries to determine where the voice is coming from and gets ready to fire a bullet just in case.
"Eclip maybe they're one of the reasons we're here."
listen: 19
Fey Wednesday November 8th, 2006 10:58:49 AM
Eclip's Detect Magic round one: there are magical auras everywhere. None moving.
The voice seems to be coming from the tree, then Gentian's dog and then the tree again.
Gentian's boar can't seem to detect a single scent. In addition, the flora in this conservatory are fragrant enough to hinder progress in that department. His bat on the other hand seems to be chasing something, then is chased; this goes on.
"Your shiny trinkets are no use to us outlanders! You can't give us what you don't have." A clear hissing comes from everywhere, multiple voices.
The flowers and trees are thick, there is alot of cover.
Toothache begins cursing the fey. "You bloody midges!" He begins dancing faster.
With the exception of the bat (and Gentian since he has a link to the bat), the fey still remain hidden.
Gentian calls out, "Look at the enchantments they are using to attack us with! We need to counter-attack and drive them out!"
He tells his familiar to keep pointing to the fey, so that he can attack in the right spot. The bat uses the Mage Hand it is wearing to telekinese a cold iron bullet over the fey's head.
Gentian has to decide if there is room to charge a fey, or if he is better off using a sling bullet. If he can charge, he will do so. If there are obstructions or not enough room to get up to speed, then he will use the sling.
Gentian casts True Strike. (No error due to armor because it is verbal only)
IF SLING: Gentian hits AC33 with no chance of missing for 5 points of cold iron damage.
IF LANCE: Gentian Power Attacks with his lance held two-handed, hitting AC 34 for 35 damage (minus any damage reduction)
SPELLS: Used 1 of 4 first level spells per day
Gentian continues to use his keen hearing to locate the fey: Listen checks: 29. 25. 20.
He tells his boar to stay next to him.

Calor grabs Toothache, and attempts to drag him toward the nearest doorway.

listen: 6, nat 1 attack: 16, +1 if within 30' damage: 9, +1 if within 30'
using blindfold trick, pointblank if applicable, & precise shot
ignore d20+4, it was supposed to be the d6+4
Eclip and Spirit Thursday November 9th, 2006 9:45:01 AM "Gentian, hold your hand! They only thing they have done so far, is to try to drive us out using tricks and non-lethal magic. Leave if you must but don't try to harm them. They haven't tried to harm us and they have had opportunity!" Eclip give him a stern look that he will take further action to stop him if necessary.
Addressing the fey again, "What is it you seek then? Why are you here? Are you responsible for Doloff's wife death?"
Spirit sensing trouble looks to Eclip for direction.
Explaination... Thursday November 9th, 2006 12:06:17 PM
Gentian has little to no chance of hitting a target that even the bat can't manage to hit. It is clearly ammusing to the fey that the halfling even tried to attack them.
Breanna misses. (Due to cover, concealment and invisibility, your trick shot is impossible at this time.)
"Your horse is safe dark man. It is an unexceptable thing to enslave such a beautiful and smart creature!"
The voice addresses Eclip. "The human woman was week willed. She took her own life. We were here first. We only seek the return of our Cill Dara which was taken by the evil human long ago."
I need a Diplomacy check from everyone except Gentian and Breanna, who need to make a Will save. :)
Eclip and Spirit d20+5=21 Thursday November 9th, 2006 1:01:49 PM
(Diplomacy+5= DC 21)
Eclip relaxes a little bit seeing that Gentian and Breanna's attacks are unlikely to be successful. Eclip continues with the fey, "Where is this Cill Dara and if we return Cill Dara to you will Doloff be able to live in this house in peace?"
Spirit remains by Eclip's side guarding his friend.
Gentian d20+7=11 Thursday November 9th, 2006 1:23:17 PM
Will save is 11, or 13 vs fear.
Gentian is surprised that he fails to hit, but is glad that there might be another solution.
Lenoir d20=20 Friday November 10th, 2006 5:33:26 AM
As Lenoin JaratesHe tells the voice, "Thank you for taking good care of him, white Sock, that's his name. I saved him from a butcher that was about to kill him, I paid a large amount for him, Gave him a few good meals then set him free. White Sock followed me ever since. I hate for him to come to hard. You have been brushing his hid?"
Cill Dara Friday November 10th, 2006 8:53:28 AM
The voice simply says, "Cill Dara is here. Here is the Cill Dara. The human does not own it."
Gentian sees, through the sitting room door, a human woman who looks striking in a beautiful white dress. She sees him and disappears from sight.
"White Sock is safe."
Keep rolling those Diplomacy checks people.
Eclip and Spirit d20+5=24 Friday November 10th, 2006 11:02:12 AM
(Diplomacy+5= DC 24)
Eclip feels he is starting to understand a little, "Cill Dara is this place? Did the evil human build this house on Cill Dara?"
Spirit continues to glance around.
Calor d20+21=41 Sunday November 12th, 2006 2:59:18 PM
[OK, it should be a +1 instead of +21, but its a Nat 20 so I ain't messing with it.
Diplomacy: 21 (nat 20)]
Well at least everyone seems to have put their swords down, the wizard marvels as he continues to attempt to drag Toothache away from the garden.
"Um, attacking humans just make more come. The best way to keep Cill Dara is to convince other nice humans - like us for instance - to keep the bad ones away. So, maybe we can just talk for a bit and get everyone to understand what is going on?"

The Cill Dara Monday November 13th, 2006 11:12:23 AM
"Yes, it is as you said." Replies the voice to Eclip. Many voices rise up and the single voice silences them.
In Sylvan, "I believe the common tongue refers to the Cill Dara as the Church of the Oak. It was a ritual and holy place."
In reply to Calor, "You are strangers in numbers. You are the first large group to come here. We expected violence. However, we did no attack with weapons as the others in your group did."
Breanna is friends with the fey and wouldn't do a thing to hurt them.

Eclip glances around still not sure what the elemental powers want the party to do, "Fey, are you the ones that threw Doloff the man out and made this house disappear? If you are willing, I know that Doloff would leave this house and relinquish all clam to you for what you call 'shiny trinkets'"
Spirit tilts his head listening to the fey voices.
Calor Monday November 13th, 2006 8:44:26 PM
Calor cocks his head slightly, trying to keep track of the multiple conversations.
When in doubt, say you're sorry
"We apologize for the attack. Some of us flail out at that which we do not understand. A common failing among us humans, I'm afraid.
Um, The Others would also be inhabitants of Cill Dara? Or did they come later? Are they one with you?"
Breanna Monday November 13th, 2006 8:52:52 PM
Breanna drops her sling and has a dreamy look on her face.
Fey question Tuesday November 14th, 2006 5:40:47 AM
In reply to Calor's line of questions, "They are, as you say, one with us. They are... the Others. They also have right to Cill Dara."
Breanna can act normally, but will not harm any fey.
To Eclip, "You can know nothing of what other men think. How are you sure of his willingness? Humans are greedy and tend to want to keep their possessions. Unfortunately our laws and human laws do not usually meet on even ground. There is no way he can return the Cill Dara to us. The holy sight was destroyed by the evil one who came before this Doloff."
Eclip and Spirit Tuesday November 14th, 2006 9:57:19 AM
Eclip nods to the Fey, "It is true I can only speak for myself, but in this case the man Doloff told us he was trying to sell this house and land to who ever is willing to buy it. While it was improperly taken from you by the evil one, human law would say that Doloff has a clam to it too. I would be willing to take an offer to the man Doloff to see if he accepts. Can Cill Dara be healed or restored? The man Doloff said that the house vanished as if it was never here a few days ago. Does it have something to do with the full moon? "
Eclip glances around at the others to see if they have any more ideas.
Spirit sniffs the air.
Gentian Tuesday November 14th, 2006 2:26:20 PM

"Um ... sounds good?"
Calor Tuesday November 14th, 2006 9:01:45 PM
The wizard's eyes are fixated on a point of air several feet away. Calor is thinking hard.
"Um, the evil one....was human? And did he come during a full moon? And could he perhaps reappear at some point?"
Like maybe six days he concludes silently.
Breanna Wednesday November 15th, 2006 12:02:49 AM "What exactly is Cill Dara?"
Lenoir Wednesday November 15th, 2006 4:53:43 AM
Lenoir stands silently for a moment, "Any body that takes care of a horse is a good sole in my Book!"
Cill Dara and the evil Wednesday November 15th, 2006 11:33:18 AM
"The Cill Dara, is the term used in our tongue. Translation is nearly impossible to common, but the closest words are 'Church of the Oak'."
"As for the evil one showing himself during the full moon, he did not show himself during any particular lunar or halo cycle. He appeared to be human about middle aged. We believe he came for what is here." Dramatic pause. "It is a convergence of ley lines, a power center for the Tol. That is all we can think of. It has been 400 years. Some of us were only children, others hadn't been born yet."
"Dark one, your horse is at Moony's."
"We will not leave this place. We protect it."

Eclip continues to talk to the Fey, noting they have twice avoid answering his questions about the house disappearing "We are not asking you to leave! Did the Evil one die 400 years ago after building this house? If so, then how? Also, is there a point in this house where the lines of power converge into a single point?"
Spirit watches as his companion talks to the unseen Fey.

Cause and Effect... Thursday November 16th, 2006 12:31:25 PM
Some of you, specifically Eclip, feel that it will be nearly impossible to get the fey out of the house, let alone off the hill. Though, the group was not suggesting that. Perhaps the fey don't understand what the humans want. While others suggest that Doloff may be willing to sell it to the fey (or at least that was what I gathered by several statements made, any offer of money is not even considered proper in the fey's case).
"We caused the house to disappear. It took all our concentrated efforts, even the Others, to help do so. The elders suspect Doloff may want to sell this house because of the things we have done. While we merely wanted to chase him off, the Others often cause bad things to happen. Like that poor old man picking apples. We liked him, but one of the others loosened a rung on the ladder and he, in turn, fell. We, for the most part, liked him."
"Did the Evil one die 400 years ago after building this house? We suspect after he died in his attempts to harness the Nexus' power. One who does not understand it fully, may cause unforeseen hazards."
There is a pause for a moment. "Doloff is not an evil man, but he has powerful blood. He worries us. We can't tell you why. We don't know."
"A point where the lines converge? Sure, nearly under this room in fact. Thats why our plants are so beautiful."
Several things start coming back to you, things you all heard two days past.
You remember some of Doloff's statements. '...the Elemental Lords, the beings who created this world, tend to use elemental servants as messengers and guides. Actually, the elements run everything. Nature runs things.'
'... because the problems happen right around the full moon. Full moon is in nine days in fact. It'll be a Blue Moon too.'
'I've been showing this around to locals and visiting merchants hoping to sell the place, but locals don't want the place because of its history and the visiting merchants aren't looking to settle in such a remote location.'
Perhaps the next cycle of trickery was going to be a big one? Maybe cause something to happen the Elemental lords want to avoid.
A power center for fey magic. A rare Blue Moon after the harvest. A great evil stopped in the far past. Fey protectors. Interesting chain of events...
What is the 'right or wrong' course of action? Are the Elemental lords using you to their ends? Do they even care? Did they send the mephit? What of this evil?
And there is still the matter of the other things in the house. The rats, spooks and other potentional nasties.
What to do...
I tried to address all the questions I missed in earlier posts, let me know if I missed one.

Eclip shakes he head in confusion, looks around at his companions. "Ok, my take is that the evil man did something to the power nexus which may cause something to happen at the next full moon. Doloff possibly being related by blood to the evil man may be the key element in what is to happen during the next full moon. The question is 'What is going to happen?'"
Spirit looks at Eclip and wags his tail.
Calor Thursday November 16th, 2006 9:30:19 PM
"I say we keep looking around. We haven't checked out the whole place, and there's gotta be more clues around here somewhere."
He raises his voice - "Friends, can we look around this house some more? Perhaps you could show us how to get upstairs?"
Lenoir Friday November 17th, 2006 4:00:17 AM
Lenoir repeats what Calor said "Yes! I also would liike to see the upstairs?? I thinck it would be very intresting, to say the least!"
Lenoir will start to take the stairs. one step the two steps . . ."
A little more Friday November 17th, 2006 10:46:23 AM
"We can not sense a taint of evil in Doloff, just something else we have seen in these lands only once before... before the evil came here. An ancient power." Says the voice.
So the decision seems to be to head for the foyer then upstairs. The fey are silent at this point.
Gentian Friday November 17th, 2006 10:58:28 AM
"Well, we should see everything the house has to offer. We do not want to miss anything."
So he votes in favor of finishing a look all around.

Eclip shrugs at the others suggestion to explore up stairs, "Why not explore more. Lead on Breanna." Before leaving Eclip turns twards the Fey, "Thank you for enlighten us about Cill Dara. I'm not sure yet what part we are to play, but hopefully it will turn out well for all."
Spirit stays by Eclip's side.
Calor Friday November 17th, 2006 9:16:22 PM
The wizard leaves with the rest.
Breanna Friday November 17th, 2006 10:28:07 PM "Ok, we need to finish searching this floor before we search the next."
Breanna pulls out the plans and looks at the first floor. "Ok, we need to check the ball room, music room and den next. We've already checked the library, then we can check the bedrooms and antique room. maybe we could split up into two or three groups as long as we stay close enough to come if someone calls for help."

"I agree that is the best way to help here!" Lenoir folows Breenna.

Back to the foyer and up stairs Monday November 20th, 2006 11:00:46 AM
Movement upstairs is fast and uneventful for the most part. There are several things you notice immediately. The upstairs landing is dusty and unkept. There are seven doors, three to the left and three to the right and one directly in front of you. This is sparsely decorated, save the four statues facing into the center of the landing and a pedestal and globe near the railing.
"Where to?" Askes Toothache. He eyeballs the globe.
(Will send map of upstairs.)
Calor d20+10=22 Monday November 20th, 2006 8:53:47 PM
The brown-haired wizard moves over to the globe, and squats down beside it, giving it a close look.
Being careful not to touch anything, Calor carefully moves around the globe, eyeing it reflectively. Perhaps it has a magical function?
What's on it?

"Folks, the globe is expensive but it is not magical. Its the Tol you are looking at friend wizard." He says plainly.
He moves over to one of the statues and inspects it carefully. (Search 22)

Decorations Wednesday November 22nd, 2006 4:59:32 AM
(It was implied that several people wanted to head upstairs, while the other half would have remained downstairs to finish it off. There was no mutual concensus the way I read it.)
The group finds nothing of interest with the statues, besides the fact they are made of some dark stone and carved well, but they are carved as Toothache points out. One figure holds a sword, another holds an orb, the third holds a spear and the last holds a scroll. They are all of the same male human none of you recognize. The room is lit by those automatic lamps. The globe is well detailed.
No one hears a thing besides their companions and a distant barking and maybe the wind rattling the large domed skylight letting in the little natural light of the overcast day.
Calor Wednesday November 22nd, 2006 8:33:09 AM
The wizard shrugs. Finding nothing is much better than getting attacked, which is happening a lot around this place. He points to the first door on the left.
"Shall we try door number 1?"
Calor waits for some enterprising soul to open the door, and then follows that person through it.
Eclip and Spirit Wednesday November 22nd, 2006 12:12:49 PM
Eclip glances at the statues, while waiting to see where everyone goes.
Spirit rubs up against Eclip's leg.

Gentian Friday November 24th, 2006 9:01:05 AM
If no one else will act, Gentian will open the door that Calor points to. It's awkward, because he prefers to do so while mounted. Or if that is not practical, he will dosmount, but he hopes he his shortness will not put him at a disadvantage.
Door number one.... Friday November 24th, 2006 11:52:09 AM
Gentian opens the door....
... and .....
nothing happens. Quite an easy process, grab knob, turn, push, let go. ;)
Its a very empty hallway void of doors, art, light and windows, but it does lead to a bend which goes to the left. There are no other directions to go.

Room by room search Tuesday November 28th, 2006 6:39:32 AM
You eventually find a door that leads to the upstairs portion of the library and access to the books on that level, but other than the occassional table covered in linen or dust bunny in a random corner, you find nothing in the way of opposition.
You also find a balcony that looks over the village.
Gentian's sense nothing other than walls and the odd moth.
Toothache gets bored rather quick and decides to wait at the top of the stairs for people to return.
The upstairs are very tedious and time consuming. After at least an hour of searching, your convinced there is nothing up here.
Eclip and Spirit Tuesday November 28th, 2006 10:10:46 AM
After the group finishes the search of the upstairs, Eclip address the group "It's getting late, lets spend the rest of the day going thought the library again for any references to the Fey, Cill Dara, Power Nexus and/or the Evil one who built this place. We can camp in the library again then finish searching the first level tomorrow."
Spirit wags his tail.
Toothache Tuesday November 28th, 2006 12:29:57 PM
"I'll agree to that!" He says to Eclip.
Calor d20+3=8 Tuesday November 28th, 2006 1:14:32 PM
Calor nods vigorously. The wizard eagerly jumps at the chance to start going though books.
He enters the library and starts going through tomes. [Search 8]
Gentian Tuesday November 28th, 2006 2:48:18 PM
While the library is being reprobed, Gentian puts his own ears, his dog's nose, and his bat's sonar to use trying to figure out where the most traffic (fey or otherwise) is on the main level. He also looks for secret doors as he pokes around.
