@Ted’s eyes gleam with delight as he watches the flame on his torch.

@Brendan
You are unable to take the items from Fade.

@Athllorantier
You witness the items already being pocketed by @Trailyn

@Mukk

You climb the staircase to its full height. Before you is a dusty balcony with a suit of black plate armor standing against one wall, draped in cobwebs. This strikes you as odd as the floors before were clean and in shape.

Oil lamps are mounted on the oak-paneled walls, which are carved with woodland scenes of trees, falling leaves, and tiny critters.

449

Fade. Will you hold up those scrolls so I can read them?

450

@Brendan

The tomes discuss fiend-summoning rituals and the necromantic rituals of a cult called the Priests of Osybus

451

Mukk discards his leather armor and equips the plate armor

452

I examine the tiny critters.

I check the wall panels for hidden passages.

453

I check Mukk’s leather armour to see if it fits me. If so, I put it on.

454

heads upwards after Mukk

@Ted, please light all the lamps on the walls, please.

455

Ted looks up suddenly, taken away from the mysteries of his fire.

“Oh… yes… indeed.”

He begins lighting any visible lamps within range.

456

Thanks Ted. It is too dark in here.

457

Mukk starts making as much noise as possible by rattling his plate armor through jumping up and down

458

Here ghostie ghostie!

459

Steps one step forward then two steps backwards

460

Mukk realizes he can’t move for shit in the armor and puts as much as he can of it into his bag when suddenly–

461

@Mukk

You take off the leather armor, realizing its not helping you in the slightest. hindering your defensive capabilities. Eying the plate armor before you you outstretch your hands to take it.

The armor creaks to life and slams both of its gauntlets at you

Armor Attacks Mukk 7 To Hit

Mukk not caught off guard is able to deflect this blow, but as that happens the other gauntlet slams into your rib cage

Armor Attacks Mukk 14 To Hit

Mukk you take 5 bludgeoning damage

@dnd-party

If you are with Mukk or making your way up staircase you can see/hear the combat.

If you are downstairs you can not hear the sounds of combat. Perhaps someone will alert you to the danger.

462

@Athllorantier

It is your turn.

463

AA runs over to Mukk, unsheathes his rapier and swings at the Armor with all his strength

464

Yzark prepares to cast his magic missle spell

465

@Athllorantier

Strides up next to Mukk to assist him in combating the armored that came to life.

AA Attacks Armor 6 To Hit

Your rapier glances off the armor unable to penetrate.

Thinking this might be a tough fight you bring out, your instrument to inspire Mukk to battle.

466

The Armor noticing a new threat approach him splits his next attacks between @Mukk and @Athllorantier

Armor Attacks Mukk 19 to Hit

Mukk still reeling in pain is once again caught off guard.

Mukk you take another 5 bludgeoning damage.

The Armor turns and faces AA.

Armor attacks AA 24 to Hit

AA still in the mists of playing his instrument gets caught completely off guard.

AA you take 5 bludgeoning damage

467

@Ted
