The Screaming Spirits (IC)
The sun rose in Janus. The Bartender walked downstairs from his living area into his bar and opened shop. There was a loud rapping from his cellar. He winced. It, what ever "it" was, had been doing that rapping for weeks. He just wanted it to stop.

Re: The Screaming Spirits (IC)
She walks into the city in human form heading to the bakery in hopes to acquire some fresh bread. After she purchases a small amount she heads to the tavern and sits by a window.
May I please have some milk and whatever meat you are serving today for breakfast? She asks to Dean.
She gently nibbles at the bread taking one small bite at a time.

Re: The Screaming Spirits (IC)
Pedro walks into the bar. That sounds like the beginning of a really bad joke, but no. Pedro really does walk into the bar. C'mon Pedro, there'll be loads of pretty girls there...
Or pretty boys, hehehe.
Which is so amusing because?
Guys! Can we stop arguing?
I'm just trying to...
Do I look like I care?
Pedro sat down and tried to clear his head. It was going to be a long day. He would have welcomed a pretty girl right now. Don't you dare say it.

Re: The Screaming Spirits (IC)
Pyrom slithered through the small village slowly. He wondered why he was even in this town as it seemed completely unremarkable in every way. Doom Prophet walked beside him glowering at the citizens that they saw. Then again most of them probably couldn't even tell that Doom was glowering as most people couldn't see her moods like he could. What an odd town this is, I wonder why everyone I see is a human. Pyrom thought looking around. He decided to head to the inn to rest for the day.
He squeezed through the door into the tavern and looked around. Hello there barkeep. I would like a room for one and a nice meal. I don't have any money but we can do work for our rooms. He said smiling. Doom Prophet followed him and looked around prepared for a fight if these people turned out to be aggressive to Merfolk.

Re: The Screaming Spirits (IC)
Wynie
She came to the village last night and got a small room in the local inn. She had hoped to sell her services as a healer for a short time then move on, but she had a feeling that things were about to be very different than what she had hoped.
She made her way to the tavern and found that she wasn't the first. There was a rather large man, a bit imposing, and a woman, who looked like she just came off the road. Feeling a bit friendly this morning decide to approach the woman.
"Good morning, I am Wynie. May I join you?" she asks the woman.Last edited by shugyosha; 2013-01-02 at 12:54 PM.

Re: The Screaming Spirits (IC)
Looks up Wynie overall surprised at her forwardness.
I have bread...
Holds up a small piece of it with noticeable small bites taken from it, while she quietly mentions the obvious.
She appears to be a human that is around four and a half feet tall. With brown eyes and long straight hair resembling the color of a bright red tail fox. Her outer layer of clothes is a plain forest green and brown explorers outfit. Her hat hanging off of the chair's back.

Re: The Screaming Spirits (IC)
Dean smiles at his assorted customers. He brought the meat and milk for Yora.
Sorry for the delay…
He saw the eidolon and dropped the platter. There are not many of those in Janus. Technically, there were none among the 61 residents. He recovered from his shock and laughed in embarrassment. This was a largely human queendom, with dwarves being the next most common and the much hated Kitsune being the most common after dwarves. He looked at his other customers to see just who was in his bar.
Before he could get a close look at Yora, which would have had a slight chance of revealing her secret, the loud rapping from the cellar was heard again.
SHUT UP!!! I'd pay anything to stop that incessant rapping!

She pulls out a pair of hard boiled eggs. "I got these yesterday, I'll trade one for some of that fresh bread."
"Ooo, that looks good. I'll have an order of that if you please."
Being her helpful self Wynie stands and asks, "Anything is a lot but I'll take a looksey and we can negotiate later on what 'anything' is.""

Wynie
Wynie looked through the door into the darkness. She grabbed a fork and lit it with a simple spell and threw it into the cellar. If it is clear she'll go down and have a look.

Re: The Screaming Spirits (IC)
She holds the bread higher accepting the offer.
I got more then enough, and that egg looks tasty.
She watches the conversation with Wynie and the bartender. Keeping an even closer eye on Wynie after she chants a few things before the fork starts to glow.Sad on the inside that Wynie would throw away a perfectly good glowing fork like that... She momentarily day dreams about how useful a glowing fork would be.

Re: The Screaming Spirits (IC)
(OOC: I'm not entirely comfortable with this forum's roll system, so I will have the rule be to beat my roll.)
In the dark cellar, there is a tiny chest the same color as the floor against the far wall. Will you see it amongst the more prominent things in the room, such as the wine shelves?
My roll: (1d6)[6]
If you beat my roll, there is a small scroll inside of the chest. If you do not beat the roll, there is a loud knock right next to you that startles you slightly, breaking your attention temporarily.

Re: The Screaming Spirits (IC)
(OOC: So that there is never an impossible roll, like above, everybody gets a bonus of one plus whatever other bonuses they have.)

Re: The Screaming Spirits (IC)
(OOC: usually you give them dc (For example if it is supposed to be easy to find it would have a dc 10 but it can go a lot higher) that we have to beat, we then roll a d20+our bonuses. We only roll if we specifically say we are doing that action or if it seems reasonable for our characters to be constantly doing it.)

"That's interesting," she mumbles to herself. She approaches the chest and lifts it. Finding the scroll she takes it and opens it up to read.

Re: The Screaming Spirits (IC)
Wynie
She is a bit shocked at the blood. Taking it back up to the tavern, she asks the barkeep, "I found this in a chest down stairs, do you know anything about it?"

Re: The Screaming Spirits (IC)
Finishes her meal with exception to the loaf of bread before walking over to the cellar door. Now curious of what is taking so long down there. Peeks sideways at the door looking down into it.
Hello down there? She says quietly, doing her best to look around.

Pyrom walked down the stairs with the others. It could be good money and he really needed it if he wanted to stay here. Doom Prophet came down with them. They hoped that there was nothing too dangerous down here.
Spoiler(1d20+1)[4] for me and (1d20+5)[17] for Doom Prophet

"Maybe a ghost or maybe something else," she says in a matter of fact way. She takes a closer look at the blood before saying to the rest, "Maybe there is a secret door in the cellar, let's take a look."
Spoiler
How fresh is the blood? Still wet? Tacky? Or dry?

Re: The Screaming Spirits (IC)
She enters the cellar looking around still as Wynie invites her.Her first steps walk towards the chest and to Wynie.
Is it your blood?... I hope you're not hurt.
Her ears perk up at the idea of a secret door. She begins to feel along the walls and touching any near by lights while she investigates for one.

The young woman says, "Why don't you get that key, I'll join the others and look for a key hole in the cellar."
Wynie joins her breakfast friend in the cellar, "I think we are looking for a secret door. By the way what is your name?"
Spoiler
is there an answer to my question about the blood?

Re: The Screaming Spirits (IC)
She takes the key as Wynie tells her to, pocketing it in her pouch.
I am Yora. I have your bread that you wanted earlier. She holds out the bread in one hand holds it out Wynie as she starts her extensive search down in the cellar.
Do you think it is okay to be searching here like this? Most people don't appreciate this sort of thing. Oh and who might you be too? She attempts to carry on a conversation like searching through peoples stuff is no big deal to her.

Re: The Screaming Spirits (IC)
Dean gave a shudder as there was another loud knock.
"We suspect she was murdered. But we aren't sure…"
