End of Combat! One tasloi guard did toss a javelin at the Yuan-Ti Abomination prisoner , which went way wide. The tasloi are supposed to now be allies with the adventurers, mongrelmen and grippli frogmen. The adventurers now move on Horan’s home while one Yaun-Ti abomination keeps watch at the back and the other the front porch. Allowishis tries to pick open the lock on the front door, rolling an 80% needing ≤ 47%, she could not do so! Xilicien, then casts the Knock spell to open the door and it does come open! Inside can be seen a misty fog, limiting view to about 10 ft. Allowishis, tries to cast Dispel Magic into the fog with a 40% chance of doing so but rolls a 66% and the fog continues to shroud the inside of the house! Allowishis then casts the Dancing Lights spell, hoping the it helps visibility a little. Then Sheila tries to Dispel Magic rolling a 34% needing ≤ 40% she was successful and the fog clears away to reveal the living room area! In the center of the wood floor is a square, stone fire pit. In the ceiling above is a smoke hole. Attached to an iron rod frame over the pit is a teakettle-like pot with a large handle. About the room are several rice straw mats, two low tables and a built-in shelf with several statuettes. Allowishis, examines a cabinet first, checking for a trap rolling 85% needing ≤ 40% she did not find one. When she reaches to grab a statuette from the cabinet, it’s mouth suddenly animates and shouts, “Help! Help! Save Us! Save Us!”, then every other loose object in the room repeats the alarm! Sheila, casts Detect Magic to see that every loose object here emanates a magical aura! Allowishis tries to use ESP on the statue, but draws a blank as it has no mind. Meanwhile, a barbarian fellow named Regnom Stilltaker, sees that Horan’s heavily guard compound, has its front main gates wide open and several dead guards that have fallen from the wall laying on the ground  so he proceeds inside out of curiosity, to see what is going on and maybe lend a hand. Spotting the dead leopards, bullywugs and bugbears on the grounds inside, he peers around the corner where the front porch is and spots a Yuan-Ti Abomination, watching from the front steps. Regnom decides to make himself visible even he doesn’t like their bad magics and ask the yuan-ti what is going on. The abomination informs him that his friends and him had raided the compound and have entered the house and advised Regnom to leave as Horan’s magics are even more powerful than his. The Yuan-Ti informs Regnom another yuan-ti is watching the back of the house and Regnom proceeds to go inside, spotting Xilicien by the opened front door and introducing himself. Regnom asks Xilicien what is going on here and Xilicien tells him, “An Investigation. Who are you”? Regnom tells Xilicien he already told him, when he introduced himself, walking in.

Xilicien says, “Should we trust this guy”? Sheila introduced herself and tells Regnom that they are trying to stop the demon lord Sertrous from coming back to this plane, and if he would join them. Regnom says, “Where I am from trust is earned. I will join your mission. Perhaps in time we too can call each other friend”. Sheila says, “(Regnom) came in from the outside, he’s dressed as a warrior, and he’s human, I say he’s trustworthy”. Camllin readies his Foeseeker long bow as Allowishis,  first checks to see if there is a trap on the first door inside the house. Rolling a 56% needing ≤ 40%, she did not find one, so she proceeds to slide it open to reveal: This room contains large bags, hanging baskets of dried fruits and herbs, and wooden tubs filled with unusual pickled foods (plums, vegetables, etc.) Allowishis says, “Snack time”,  and Regnom wonders where the voice is coming from. Allowishis says, “Are you hungry? Maybe you should stock up while you have the chance”. The giggles.  Regnom looks around north of him inside the storage room but sees no one. Sheila says, “You’re being pranked by a pixie, she’s usually invisible to most eyes”. Regnom says, “Well then I suppose you are right. I should stock up on some food! I have heard pickled plums are very good.” The adventurers start to cautiously go up a hallway in the middle of the place, Allowishis, leading the way. Allowishis, informs of a door on the west all at the hallway’s end and that it also turns east there, an opening visible at the far end of the south wall. As Allowishis goes to slide open the door on the far end of the hall’s west wall, she is startled by sudden barking from a dog which she cannot see! The invisible, magical faithful hound, had tried to pounce upon Allowishis, but she moved just enough when starting to open the door that it missed her with its bite! Allowishis starts flailing about with her pixie sword  to no avail and Sheila casted the Spiritual Hammer spell,  which lasts 7 rounds, readying for an attack. Regnom tries to hit the invisible faithful hound and missed, fumbling in the process that he almost trips up from the wild swing he took!   And that concludes today’s Adventure Gaming Session!
