Gerox struggles in the web, and the turns into a fire elemental and burns his way out. Once free he will resume his normal form and jump off the roof. He activates his ring of feather falling and lands lightly on his feet. He will join up with his comrades and say, " where did those things come from?"

"You're welcome, my friend, but your thanks are unnecessary. It's a equitable trade of services. You're the front line, along with our friend Brom, and I keep you two apart of the land of the living. Seems like a good deal to me." Says the merchant priest in his trader vernacular.
"I am not sure." Tuesday volunteers in response to Gerox's question. "I seems they were some sort of spider-like creature. But they cast a powerful cold spell, and there webs seemed to draw the life-force of their victims. They may be from the Land of Shadow. That would be my assumption based on what I've seen so far."
"Perhaps, this situation calls for us to withdraw back to our compound to decide our next objective. Also, my spells are inadequate for our situation based on my assumptions."

Sorry for the missed post. My internet was out last night due to the storms. We are still getting 40mph wind, but the internet is up.
----------------------------
Peza watches as the ethereal arachnid fades from reality. Whoa ..... i wonder if this has to do with whoever is behind the sacrifices .... that unholy one. These spiders might have come from another plane .... very strange and interesting " she says as she turns to help her friends .....
Barratore looks about to see if he can see any others and it is apparent that the others are having a harder time with the darkness than he is. After a quick scan he cuts Gerox free from the webs and loks to the others to see what those things were and confesses to the others that he could see in the magical darkness, though he does not have a reason as to why.
Edson moves forward and puts his weapons away. "That was odd. My eyes couldn't even see through that darkness."
Brom -watches as the last spider is dead and the darkness has lifted, but his mind is still cloudy. He lowers his sword and the fatigue comes over him and stands there, his mind close to collapse.
Tuesday tries to put some of the information together and suggests, [b]"You could see because you touched the item in the shack. It probably gave you that ability." Tuesday then performs triage as he looks over the others wounds, noting both Brom and Barratore took bite wounds from the spider and casting Lesser Restoration on the former as Brom removes a small vial from his pack and drinks it to remove the cloudiness from his mind.
Gerox jumps off the roof and activates his ring of feather falling to land lightly on his feet and asks if anyone knows " where did those things come from?" while Edson picks up any loose arrows he can find. Times are tough...
Tuesday volunteers in response to Gerox's question. "It seems they were some sort of spider-like creature. But they cast a powerful cold spell, and there webs seemed to draw the life-force of their victims. They may be from the Land of Shadow. That would be my assumption based on what I've seen so far...Perhaps, this situation calls for us to withdraw back to our compound to decide our next objective.
Brom agrees. "Guess so." He says giving the minotaur a light slap on the back. "Been stab, slashed, burned... when my mind was...can't put into words...it was the worst feeling... Let's see if there's injured around here first. Then, we gotta prepare and see if we can get some divine direction."
After a while the group turns to Peza. What now? Wait for the watch to let them know they are horribly out classed or go wake some important people?
---------------
As you try to determine your next move Tuesday keeps his eyes open for trouble. Nothing other worldly seems to appear, but the persistent darkness continues to give him a lingering sense of unease, as if something is very wrong with the Wold.
Tuesday continues to think on the matter and is more and more sure that the spider like creatures were from the realm of the Shadowlands and the creatures did in fact appear to be seeking you out. Although he is less certain as to the reason why the idea of life force makes sense to him, but Harper is the only person he can think of that would know enough to speak on the matter with any certainty. (If you were looking for a specific piece of information, please include that with your roll)
After all your discussions two possible courses of actions appear to unfold. Either to seek out divine guidance and speak to Harper or to get some rest and prepare more spells.
ooc: Please note the phrase being used for the realm of shadows is The Shadowlands. Jerry informed me that the Wikki is mistaken in referring to it as The Realm of Shadows and that it needs ot be changed.

Congratulations. For defeating the spider like creatures you each gain 7,400XP!

"Anyone else that came across those things are sitting next to Gargul Brom, but we should look anyway." Barratore makes a quick move about the are looking for any survivors.
Barratore can't remember who Harper is but if the others think its a good idea to talk to him why not. Everyone else they initially went to get assistance from were dead. Barratore has nothing to add and waits for the others on this one.

Barratore makes a quick move about the are looking for any survivors, but cannot find any. Everyone the group initially went to get assistance from are dead and he is out of cantacts that he can think of.
Gerox grimaces as he moves towards the group and thinks out loud. I think we need to rest and recharge. I doubt Harper will even be awake yet. We need to cure our wounds and think on what is happening. We are being attacked personally. Why us?"
Brom thinks about why the creatures would seem to be targeting them, "The sacrifice, I'd bet. Piss off a God, and usually got a target on ya." He then votes to regroup before doing anything else. "When stuff like this happens, we get the call, so make sense information would be sent to League base for when we check in."

As you discuss your options two city guards men approach. The cursed darkness would be enough to shake most men, and the site of a citizen torn in two does not help to put them at ease. After explaining the situation to them it is clear that they know no more than you do about what is going on and that this is the first they have heard of any attack like the one you described. They quickly agree to send a message to Harper, glad to have something to do and a reason to move quickly away from the grisly seen.
Once the men have left you make your way from the Dread's house back to your rooms in order to rest. The going is slow, with the streets still littered from the past night's activities. He numerous broken bottles on the ground eventually force you to the elevated wooden sidewalks that lead past the various store fronts.
Barratore is surprised by the number of people in the road and on the sidewalk that he has to keep moving around. A couple of them sport wounds and bloody clothes, but they are moving around as if uninjured.

Suddenly Barratore appears to trip. You look down and he is gone. Nothing but the wooden sidewalk lies where he should be. After looking around you see the large taur lying impossibly in the street, on the other side of a wooden railing!

Brom manages to shrug off the cold poison. His mind is now free from the purple haze.

Edson agrees to the man's terms. "That's fine. We will escort you back to your place once our friend is to safety and getting checked out.[b] He then assures the man that in times like these his request is that of a practical who knows how to survive."
Edson and the messenger watch as Brom manages to shrug off the cold poison. Barratore's insistence on seeing Harper pretty much makes the group's decision. As the group prepares to head out the barbarian takes out a potion and drinks it, just in case.
Barratore manages to fight off the effects of the poison, for now, and readily agrees to see the man to his home safely.
Peza Nods in agreement to the mans request as well. "Yeah there is certainly something strange about this darkness .... " Peza follows after the man, all the while keeping an eye on her friends, especially those seemingly under the spider shadows touch.
Once the color returns to Brom and Barratores faces the messenger begins to lead the way towards Harper's. The large taur is the first outside, and this time there is no doubt as to whether you should walk or take a carriage. As Barratore tries to hold the door for Brom he once again appears to fade and the door passes right through his hand! Fortunately Brom's cautious attention to his surroundings pays off and he catches the door without missing a beat. Knowing what could result if he fell through the carriage makes walking the default course of action.
As you carefully move through the streets you see a few carts and shops that have chosen to stay open. Candles and Torches have increased in price from a copper to several gold and no one is willing to part with their ever burning torches. In addition to this, the price of food has already begun to climb.
After about fifteen minutes of walking Brom looks up and notices the sign to a local pub. The sign itself is unremarkable, but nine birds sit atop it unmoving. In unison they all appear to look at you before turning to each other and taking off. As if that wasn't unnatural enough they all let out a high pitched cry that in the quite dark of day seems more reminiscent of cats mewling that a birds call, and in an instant their black forms meld into the darkness.
A short while later you find yourselves approaching Harper's. Your guide points to his house saying This is me, and Harper is the last house on your left. He points to a small, but well made house on your left. It is of much higher quality that the Dread's shack, but nothing especially ornate. I can take you up there, if you want, so long as you bring me back down here when you are through.
As you look about Brom finds nothing lurking in the darkness other than the untimely pitch black of night.

His unsteady gait on uncertain legs is obviously distressing to him. He can't trust his own physicality and for the fighter, that is practically his very being. The taurs eye dart and his head twitches about as he moves, a shaking hand now holds the still drawn sword as he makes his way to Harpers
Barratore does not pause, and barrels into the door. Even as Peza knocks. Barratore tries to open and brak down the door
"HARPER!" Booms the taur, "OPEN UP!"

Once the man is inside his home .... Peza leads the troupe to Harpers house. Barratore's pace, is slower and more cautious. His unsteady gait on uncertain legs is obviously distressing to him.
As she climbs the steps Peza pauses a amoment then she knowcks on the door "" Harper are you home ?? we need your help "
Crash
The sound of splintering wood echoes throug the silent darkness as Barratore runs forward and breaks down the door. "HARPER!" Booms the taur, "OPEN UP!"
Gerox and Edson watch from the street, unsure what they can do to help. Gerox is concerned for his friends, but also concerned that you are now target and Edson puts his roguish skills to use in the unatural darkness as he moves abou the shadows.

Aye! What be all this now? I gave you all an invitation. There is no reason to be breaking my door down! A second later Harper rounds the corner with a candle in her right hand. Her cheeks are almost as red as her hair, but her words are surprisingly calm for someone who just had her door kicked in.
I'm guessing you must a learned somethin of interest at the Dread's...creepy bugger. Well, I have tea on. Why don't you join me in a glass and catch me up.

Gerox dashes into the room and tugs on the Harper's robe. "I am sorry about your door but Barratore is a bit crazed now. You would be a bit crazy too if you had an extra shadow! Look!!" Gerox points at Barratore's extra shadow and says, "What do you think of that?"

Barratore snorts at the Harpers appearance and invitation to tea. Her polite and quiet tone simply irritates him more, eliciting a slight growl. Gerox's cut to the chase point of conversation about his extra shadow helps a little. Barratore remains stand and leans into a wall. "Learned of interest? Dread's dead. Interested?" Barratore shifts his head to look more directly at Harper. He proceeds to lay out what he has thus far encountered.
How he grasped the mirror and was pulled to some other grey world where he heard Dread and some creature discussing his death, the master and Dreads lost shadow. Upon returning to the real world, he can now see in the deepest darkness, the demon spiders webs fell off of him and he can see people that no one else seems to be able to.
CoDM James Wednesday April 15th, 2015 12:56:42 PM I must say, that is really quite some story you have there...and I'm afraid you don't understand the half of it... I will tell you what I know and what I have learned about the prophecy you askes about, but you must promise not to reveal this information to anyone, for it involves the secret rites of the Grim. She waits a minute for you all to agree before continuing.
Turning to Gerox and Barratore she says, I suppose we should start with the Dread and his shadow. It might help to make the big guy's vision and the prophecy you had me look up, to make a little more sense...I don't know how much you know about Dreads, Grims, and Spirit Talkers, but I told ya before that they give me he jeebies. Under the best of circumstances, there is something off putting about the way they walk about without their shadows...and knowing how they got that way doesn't make it any easier. One of the rites of passage for a Grim is to travel to the Shadowlands, where the dead go before their judgement, and rend it from their body. They actually split their being and leave part of themselves behind in the land of the dead. This is part of what gives them their unnatural abilities....
But there was something more with Elder Norton. When I first met him he was cold to the touch and smoke emanating from under his robe...like a living fog that seemed to pour out, muttering, whispering, and clawing...and the fait smell of blood seemed to enfold him. Some of these are the effect of the constant teetering on the border of the living and the dead, but only when on missions of great importance does a wispy fog seem to creep from under their cloaks. This is how I knew he was here on a mission of some greater importance than training me.
From what little he revealed, he had been investigating some disturbance in Gullport and followed the "Dead Lights" here to Rum. Unfortunately, he would not tell me what "Dead Lights" are. Perhaps it is something only known to the Grim...
She waits a moment to see if you have any questions before continuing on with her findings on the prophecy and what she can deduce from Barratore's vision.

"Interesting." says Tuesday. He relays what information he knows (basically what's hidden). "Well looks like we have two options at the moment. We book passage to Gullport and try to retrace this Elder's path..." He pauses for a moment as if something came to mind. "...or we could try to pick up the trail here in Rum. We didn't have long at the Elder's home. I say we try and sift through that's left for any notes he might have keep on his investigation." He looks to the others for confirmation or alternatives.
"Also, Barratore I would like you to attempt to pay close attention to your surroundings when you meld into the Land of Shadow. What we are looking for are hints to these dead lights. Also, if some being is attempting to usurp Lord Gargul, the direction these apparitions move may also give us some hint. Watch to see if they are being led or drawn in a particular direction." He says to the understandably disturbed minotaur.

Edson keeps to himself, listening to the story. He wanders around the room, listening and sipping his tea. Gullport, Grimms, deadlights... none of it made any sense to him and was a big blur in his head. He listens, but it goes in one ear and out the other. He keeps an eye on Barratore to make sure he is OK.

Gerox confirms some of what Tuesday remembers as well. "I remember looking at a map and seeing the name of Gullport. Seems like a long way to travel to get a hint. Still it might be necessary in the long run. That cult sound interesting. Wonder if they brought a big nasty into the Wold which is trying to take Gargul's place.
Could it be that the Grim's shadow has latched onto Barratore, trying to get him to finish his mission?"
Barratore Steelwind (Dan K) AC: 33 (T 14 FF 26), CMD: 31; HP: 76/106Character Sheet Wednesday April 15th, 2015 11:34:03 PM
Barratore's nostrils flare. For him, none of the conversation was appearing that useful. Dead Lights, what in creation are those? he thinks. He glances over at Tuesday as the cleric speaks of Gullport and some occult that disappeared. "Anyone know how the sacrifice went wrong? Right off hand I would say Rum just experienced the same thing. Could it be the cultists who botched it that are on the hunting list as well as us? Maybe we sit this out and the problem of the cultists can sort of take care of itself."
Barratore rolls his head a bit at Tuesday's suggestion of keeping an eye out for the dead lights when he phases to the land of Shadow. "I'll see what I can do." he says dryly, "But really it all looks the same, save some extra people."
He turns his attention back to Harper, "You still ain't really said nothing about this stowaway shadow. You think it is Dread and how in Imod's backside do I get rid of it?"

Brom keeps watch, his eyes always looking out the windows and door for trouble as he leaves the thinking stuff to those more capable.
Tuesday relays what information he can recall about Gullport to the group and suggests two, book passage to Gullport or trying to pick up the trail here in Rum.

You think it is Dread and how in Imod's backside do I get rid of it?"
Harper listens carefully to the group's questions. Responding to Barratore's question first she begins to explain that that the shadow is a bit out of her realm of knowledge. That sacred knowledge is closely kept by those who specialize in spirit talking and follow the path of the Grim. The exact process is known only to them, and for good reason. Could you imagine the havock a necromancer could reap if he had such abillities? However I will tell you what I do know...
Normally, there are many places that souls go after the flame of life goes out. Under normal circumstances Gimp the Imp will lead the wayward soul to Gargul who will judge the good and the evil alike. One might even be allowed to join the living again, provided that the souls are "taught" and learn the lessons of their former life, and provided they join again with the spark created by the parents of a new child. No soul remains the same after that, as each is joined to the spark from the parents to form a new union. However, a Grim is supposed to nail his shadow down in the Shadowlands, placing him both there and here. That is a special privilege Gargul gives his grims, and I pity any fool who tries to do it without his blessing. Why he would nail his shadow here or to a mirror is beyond me, for now his soul is in the Shadowlands and his shadow is here which is why Barratore seems to be experiencing some of the Grims unnatural abillities. I will see what I can learn about it, but we're kinda moving into uncharted waters. However, if Gerox is right about the shadow being part of the Dread's mission, then trakcking down these "Dead Lights" or putting an end to this infernal darkness might be his only hope.
She then shifts the topic to that of the prophecy. The histores of the Wold have recorded prophecies of the sun failing to rise going back to the time of the first cataclysm. There are several theories behind them of course, but they all tend to agree that it is a dark omen for those ruling the land, indicating the end of a cycle or an age and preceding the rise of another, often brought on by some evil deed or great a great and heroic sacrifice. While a new dawn is often good, the ending of an age is always ominous for those who who are part of it. Once the omen comes the window to change its course is very narrow, it might only be a matter of days.

Barratore growls and utters a small curse directed at Gargul and Dread. "So I'm stuck with this, this remnant of a dead man until when? Ever?" Barratore grumbles again and clenches a fist, but manages to stop himself before putting it through a wall.
"So we need to finish what Dread started. Put his shadow to rest so to speak. Can we talk to him somehow? If this shadow is part him and allows him to still be partially here, there a spell that will allow us to talk."

" well this unnatural darkness has some dark and evil force behind .... but we don't know much about it .... where else can we research some of those prophecies ?? ..."
" we seem to be in the dark as much as the darkness outside .... how could something this magnitude happen and we not have any inkling of it ?? afterall there must be many sides/ groups vying for different paths of this prophecies to come true for themselves ..... thats many people ... some must be the talkative type "

Tuesday responds to Barratore's question. "There is a spell that can allow us to speak with the dead. It usually requires a body, but it might work on the shadow. We can give it a try. It'll take me a little time to get the spell ready." He turns to Harper. "Unless you have the spell prepared already."
Tuesday has an open slot that he can use to prepare Speak with Dead. I don't know how long it takes to prepare a spell using an open slot.

Harper listens as you discuss your various plans. When the idea of casting speak with dead comes up she points up that a shadow is not the same as a corpse, and the spell specifically needs both a corpse and a mouth the work. Given the strange circumstances this morning I did prepare that spell, but unless you can find the Dread's body I am afraid it will not do much good today. I am afraid that is all I have been able to learn so far, but I will let you know if I discover anything else on dealing with similar prophecies. Perhaps you can find something more at his house?

There was the mirror, now busted, the piano thing, I played it, searched and now the shack lies in ruins on top of it, there was the cot and that was it."

Barratore looks at Tuesday, to him they had searched the shack. None of the others were chiming in and so he was going with Brom. "Good with me Brom. Let's see if Salty has an inkling and then hit the docks area where they were going kill those kids."
Barratore nods to Harper. "If your god feels like telling you something important, we'll be at the docks." Barratore leaves Harper's place and starts for the docks. The darkness is deeper, maybe it was just the Dread shadow. The fighter had a feeling this was coming to a head soon. He would meet it with steel and blood and maybe die horribly and that was begining to suit him just fine.

Having made a decision, the group leaves Harper's and begins trekking to Salty's, which is down the hill and located right on the waterfront at the Docks. The group heads down towards the docks, there are a few people out apparently doing those errands that are needed, most people have realized that this night has lasted much longer than 24 hours and are frightened about it. Most everyone notices that those people who are out, are armed even more than usual, some of them actively carrying the weapons in their hands. They are not conversing with anyone they pass, but eyes flicker trying to keep watch of anyone else out moving around in this darkness.
Everyone except Barratore Highlight to display spoiler: { You have passed maybe 15-20 people and have cover 3/4 of the distance from Harper's to Salty's}
Barratore Only Highlight to display spoiler: { You are beginning to get used to seeing in mostly shades of grey, it has been un-nerving but it's beginning to become normal for you. As you are walking along, you are surprised to notice a few of the 40 or 50 people moving about are unarmed and seemingly uncaring about the darkness. You almost miss it when a little girl walking towards the group doesn't veer off, but walks towards and then straight through Tuesday as if he wasn't there.....}

The trip to Salty's is going well, until Barratore suddenly stops and then turns saying, "Little Girl, wait, stop...." Of course there is no little girl there and Tuesday's comments seem to ring true, Barratore is seeing more than anyone else in the party, now the question is, is it a curse or a blessing, but more importantly, just how long is this going to last and will getting rid of the extra shadow, solve it?

The little girl jumps a bit as Barratore tries to grab her, but his hands go right through her like a knife through water, but not even leaving a ripple behind. She spins about looking at the party, and realizes that only the Minotaur can see her, "You can see me? How? Most everyone can't see me or the others, but we knew this would be so....."

To everyone except Barratore, this is extremely strange, even for you. Barratore relays what's going on, but still it's odd.
Barratore tries to talk to the little girl, she's maybe 12 or 13, hard to tell.... The Girl asks, "Are you dead too? Where you a sacrifice like the rest of us? If everyone knew dieing was so painful, no one would want to cross over. No one should have trusted Bittern and Con..." She's cut off in mid sentence as she blinks out of existence.

The girl vanishes and the fighter straightens. Another dead end. "She's gone." he says to the others. "She was going on about being sacrificed and how she shouldn't have listened to Bittern and Con, but was cut off in the last part." Barratore looks at the others, "Anyone got anything about that?"
"Not sure we entirely stopped the sacrificing part of the end of the Wold here."

Having decided that there was no more information to be gotten, the group returns to heading towards Salty's. They only get about 300 yards before Barratore hears someone yelling "Hey, mister Taur!!" Of course no one else hears this.... Turning, Barratore sees the young girl again, headed towards him from a different direction. When she gets close, "So, you really can see and hear me, are you sure you aren't dead? Because no one here who hasn't given themselves can. You wanted to know something, what was it?" It seems she remembers some of the conversation, but not all of it, sort of like a partial reset happened, in both mind and place...

"Can you remember when you gave yourself and can you tell me more about who convinced you and the others? ". Barratore pauses for her to answer and continues, "the cleric who travels with us tells me that when a person dies, they are guided to the land of rest. Were you not met by a guide?"
Barratore relays what is going on with his conversation to the party and if they have any input, he relays itto the girl.

In the end it was their doom. Now he has done the same thing here. You would have been better if Stoatis had turned Conti awa....." Her words are cut off again as she vanishes once more.

Brom doesn't hear any other person in the shack with the screaming woman, but that didn't mean much this day. With a lowered shoulder, Brom puts his massive strength behind his attempt to crash through the door...and he stops dead in his tracks. (Str check DC 12)
Perception DC 25

Peza pauses a moment as Brom kicks in the door ..... Peza charges in after him .... or at least till she bounces off his back ....
"Whoa .... kick that door down " growls the ranger ......

Even with the feeble attempt to kick open the door, it does slam wide open, just not off it's hinges. What's seen is a woman, in her late teens, brandishing a knife, not a dagger, a knife, like what you'd carve up a bird for cooking with. "Get out the heck out, You have no business here." Is what she was saying when the door came crashing open wide and the Bigger members of the party rushed inside. There is no one else in the room with her, she squeaks in shock as you rush in, she blinks three or four times as she takes in the group. "How'd you do that. Don't matter anyways, get out I told you before and I meant it." She turns a little and threatens the group standing just inside the doorway, looking like she's trying to mean business with the knife.
