"Certainly, though those who have tried have wound up 'missing' shortly afterward. The thieves seem to be capable of entering the vaults without being seen or leaving a trace.

"interesting, I might check with the rest of the party i am travelling with if they want to investigate"

"Murder is a crime, but the assailant is unpunished as he is unknown, the man was simply found in here dead with a rune on his back...nasty business, now his cousins are hiring help to claim his home. Sensible that given the odd nature of the death."

"what sort of rune was found on his back? did you hear what caused his death? This is something else that i may be interested in assisting with. Where can i find these cousins to talk with them?"

"The rune was an old one, wouldn't have seen that kind since the smithing academy, their cousin knew the meaning though..."

He gives Sarric the address.

sKeith · 23-06-2018 07:58PM

Sarric finishs his ale and thanks the dwarf for the news. "Pleasure chatting with you but I should be getting back now."

Sarric rises and exits the tavern, but not beofre turning and giving a jovial wave to the patrons.

Out again in the town, Sarric looks around to see if he can find his party.

Walking about the streets and talking to the locals reveals quickly enough that Iuric and Varkrash have gone to the address he just received in the tavern.

Karinth has headed off to the smelting pits.

Rhiggy and Mule are off at another tavern.

Redzer went off on the airship for a tour.

Evade · 23-06-2018 08:08PM

Iuric heads for the door at the end of the armoured avenue and examines it.

Necro · 23-06-2018 08:09PM

Vrakrash follows Iuric, looking around worriedly for any more crystals.

Upon clearing the initial corridor, Iuric can see that this door stands in the middle of the East-West one on its North wall.

There are two other doors to their East and West.

The door is ornate in a similar style to the front door, though it has glass through which he can see a garden.

OOC: Not sure how clear that is so:

Sarric decides to follow Iuric and varkrash and go to the cousin house to inquire about the dead man.

Evade · 23-06-2018 08:28PM

Iuric tries to open the door and go for a breath of fresh air in the garden.

Knocking on the cousins door, it is opened quickly by a rather excited dwarf.

"Ye here for the murder job, more respondents in one day than I've had in a week, step right in lad!"

The air unfortunately is still the stale air of the dwarven caverns and the garden lies under a small fire and light spell concentrated above it.

Various apple and orange tree grow under the light and the cavern in which the garden sits is at least half a mile long.

At the back of the garden is a large building that looks somewhat like a stable. Near it is a smaller building with ferocious growling coming from it.

Necro · 23-06-2018 08:51PM

Vrakrash peers into the room, hearing the growling.

He turns to their dwarf companion.

'Guard dog? Or something else?'

Evade · 23-06-2018 08:51PM

"Not very fresh" Iuric goes to the source of the growling.

"We don't tame dogs...I fear something else"

Necro · 23-06-2018 08:57PM

Vrakrash steps into the room behind Iuric, axe and scimitar drawn.

'Might want to stay back then... I don't like the sound of this.'

Within is a portal to a very dark place, only a pair of eyes are visible deep in the black, and below the eyes some silvery skin revealed by the light from Iuric's end shining in.

Out of the portal stretch an incredibly long pair of silver hands, at least 20 foot in length before the point where the cross the portal to this side, where they continued for five more.

The claw and scratch at the straw in the small wooden building.

A door on the stable building suddenly swings open and then closes.

Sarric steps in. "How can I help."

"Well here's the lowdown...."

He explains the situation with his cousin, the meaning of the runes and how his brother has gone off with Iuric and Varkrash. He then opens the door.

"Probably their tracks are still fresh if ye hurry" he says holding the door to the entrance tunnels open.

Evade · 23-06-2018 09:08PM

Iuric uses his Divine Sense.

OOC: Action. Know the location of celestial, fiend, undead within 60 feet unless behind total cover.

An undead crawls about the stable, one of dwarven extraction.

Necro · 23-06-2018 09:24PM

'What is this madness, Iuric?'

Vrakrash calls to his partner who seems deep in thought.

Sarric looks at the tracks, says to the brother, "wish me luck", the begins to track the fresh tracks.

Vrakrash calls to his partner who seems deep in thought.

"A foul abomination in need of putting down" Iuric touches his holy symbol which briefly glows and in the disinterested box checking way says "Blessing of Mesharum be upon us. May our blades strike true and our resolve not waiver in the cause of justice." and runs at the undead thing.

OOC: Casts Bless on Iuric, Vrakrash, and the Dwarf. Concentration, add 1d4 to attack rolls and saving throws for up to the next minute.

Fourier · 23-06-2018 09:34PM

Sarric quickly passes through the tunnels, by the statues and sees the obvious trail of tunnel grit leading out the door into the garden.

He spots Varkrash with his scimitar at the smaller building.

Necro · 23-06-2018 09:34PM

Vrakrash shrugs.

'Far be it from me to turn down a fight!'

He charges after Iuric in the direction of the undead creature.

Running out of the smaller building and into the stables Iuric kicks open the stable door to see a dwarf with a grimace on his face and a large scar over one one eye.

He sports no weapons save finger nails he has let grow and sharpened to almost being like knifes.

He charges the group.

"Out of the master's house you filthy elves!"

OOC: Init

sKeith · 23-06-2018 09:39PM

Sarric follows Iuric into the stables.

Fourier · 23-06-2018 09:50PM

The manic undead dwarf is knocked to the ground by a heavy blow from Iuric's greatsword.

Varkrash then pins him to the ground with an axe to the spine and finishes the job with a scimitar to the brain.

He jerks his head upward, screams "Master! My stables" before the undead glow in his eyes fades and his body goes limp.

Evade · 23-06-2018 09:58PM

Iuric makes his symbol glow again and box checkingly says "Bask in the divine justice of Mesharum and hope he judges you worthy" the symbol dims. "Swift strikes friend" he nods to Vrakrash.

Iuric looks around for anything that would cause this Dwarf to reanimate.

Necro · 23-06-2018 10:02PM

Vrakrash sheathes his weapons again.

'Yes. Not too troublesome, if I'm honest.'

He searches the stables along with Iuric.
