    R1T11: Kaen chides himself for not putting his armor in its heavier form. Considering this is the first day he's ever been in mortal combat, he has to take a quick second to verify that he does have his veil in sword mode, and swipes at the higher of the two foes. When the dim lighting throws off his aim, he retreats out of harm's way for the moment, but not before both bogeys stab at him, one of them skimming off his back while Arsenne protects him from yet another thrust.

    R1T8: Drawing his greatsword, Roran hurries to the west, nearer to the creature that Ambyr struck down. "What is it?! What are we fighting now?!" He eyes the fallen creature before turning his attention to the doorway, readying himself should another emerge.

    R1T7: Mr. Arvodair equips his shield on the move to the west of the body, readying his trident should something similar to what's on the ground come out the window.

    R1T5: Zeferin, shield and warhammer are readied. What do you do?

    R1T5: Zeferin moves west to be part of a welcoming committee for any other of these creatures. Arcane energy flickers around the head of his hammer, which he in turn drops on the little monster to put it out of its misery.

    End Round One, Begin Round 2 ...

    R2T22:
    Arsenne shouts in response: "Goblin Monkeys. Good Climbers. Risk Escape. Trap'em here!"

    Then, holding his thumb apart from his index and middle finger of his right hand in claw-like position, he launches a flurry of of blows with his hands in this position, crying as he attacks: "Soldier Ant, PINCH!". His first attack hits the hanging one in the chest for 5 + stunned and it falls to the east of the other, and dropping its spear. He then strikes the other in the left shoulder for 5 as well. After his attack, he shifts further into house to make room for others to enter.

    R2T17: Eirina moves south and whistles Ambyr to her side before casting speak with animals on herself so she can better communicate with her partner. But she is so nervous with this third mortal combat in under an hour that she is worried about enemies around every corner and casts defensively ... and fails. Recovering quickly she points inside the house, to the dead monkey goblin, and back to the house, cutting out all the fat. "Ambyr, attack!"

    R2T16.5: Ambyr instantly zig-zags into the house and nips Green in the head for 2.

    R2T16-15: Having just gotten nipped, Green turns its attention to the cat and stabs and just catches Ambyr along the lower side for 5. Meanwhile, Blue writhes in pain on the ground.

    R2T9: Thickness' voice is calm and level despite his earlier shout, "If we're trapping them we should be surrounding them." As space around the door is filled again, Thickness' jaw rattles with a growl and he begins stalking north, circling the building looking for another entry... or exit.

    R2T8: Roran circles around the building to the west, attempting to cut off other avenue of escape. He makes it west and north and begins to tear eastwards when he stops suddenly, face-to-face with a hideous creature out of some primal nightmare. It is a scaled monstrosity, with beady eyes looking right at you, and a long snout full of teeth... oh, wait, it's just Thickness.

    R2T7: Mr. Arvodair just resets his readiness.

    R2T5: Zef falls back on his bum, looking in shock at his bloody hammer and the caved in skull of the monkey goblin he killed.

    End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

    R3T22: Arsenne announces: "I'm going to incapacitate it."

    He then draws his right knee high up to his chest, and launches a flurry of short, shallow, non-lethal but powerful sidekicks downward at the prone goblin-monkey. In order to make his kicks non-lethal, he strikes with the whole flat of the foot rather than focusing all his force into the heel. As he strikes he shouts: "Dung Beetle SMASH"!

    Because he completely telegraphed his attack, the monkey goblin rolls out of the way of the first, but was surprised that this human could kick so fast as the second as the follow-up catches it in the head for 8 NL. Arsenne stands by with his right leg and knee chambered high in a pre-kicking position, ready to capitalize on any opening that the creature leaves him.

    R3T17: "You can do it, Ambyr! Show that monkey where it stands on the food chain! Attack!"Eirina encourages her partner to try and bolster his confidence hoping his strength would also increase because of this.

    R3T16.5: Eirina's exhortations to Ambyr key a greater viciousness in Ambyr, who attacks the beleaguered monkey goblin with more savage attacks. Ambyr crits with a bite on Blue for 9, which allows him to then bite Green as well for 9. Ambyr then mauls Blue with his claws. The entire gruesome display is enough to kill both monkey goblins.

    R1T17: Eirina assesses the battlefield and remembers her Uncle's words about progenitors. Upon reflection she decides to leave the battle of the lone insect to her uncle and the others and while trying to discern where the other bugs might be, though she doesn't see any others.."Ambyr! Stay on alert."

    R1T15: Mr. Arvodair settles into a fighting stance as he moves forward, taking out trident and readying his shield. He does a quick jab as some type of special maneuver at the ankheg-baby, but fails to connect. Meanwhile he calls out various exhortations that help the party feel tougher.

    R1T13: The ankheg nymph spits a line of acid at Kaen and Arsenne, and neither of them were expecting that as they both are squarely struck - Kaen takes 4 acid, and Arsenne takes 6 acid.

    R1T11: Roran, what do you do?

    R2T25: A hiss escapes Kaen's lips, but he does little else to acknowledge the pain. Changing tactics, he steps back as best he could (the cramped conditions hinder him more than he'd like), his weapon once again in shortbow mode as he loses an arrow at the beast (that misses) before shifting back to sword and back into the fray.

    R2T17: Eirina grips her Elven Thornblade tighter and continues to search for any in-coming danger from the rear. Glancing at Ambyr to see if he senses anything before going back to surveying the field. "Smell anything, boy?"

    Ambyr doesn't appear to have caught an interesting scent.

    R2T15: Mr. Arvodair fills the air with may imagination nautical imprecations, hitting the thing with both trident and shield and dropping it.

    He puts it to the tine.

    The party begins a deep search of the chapel.

    The party finds a trail of dried blood leading from the altar to the front entrance. No creature has entered this place in the last few weeks, or possibly a month. A smell of rotting flesh lingers near the altar, but there is nothing obvious, even a large bloodstain, that could suggest the source of this smell.

    When the PCs remove the dusty white cloth covering the altar, it becomes evident that it is not a table on four legs but is constructed more like a large box with religious carvings on the front face. A careful examination of the back allows the PCs to locate a secret sliding panel. Opening the panel leads to the discovery of a dead body. The strong smell of a rotting corpse fills the dusty air. It isn't enough for anyone to feel sick, but it is extremely uncomfortable.

    And then, a ghostly figure rises from the body and up several feet off the ground!

    Begin Round One ...

    R2T20.5: For a moment, the horror of the spirit is forgotten as Roran observes the otherworldly beauty of Mr. Arvodair's companion. That moment is fleeting, however. Mr. Arvodair's suggestion, and indeed the glowing skin of the lamp-lady, promise something he would surely rather observe from a distance.

    "Y-yes, sir!" He stumbles first over his words and then his feet as he turns to flee the building.

    R2T18: Kaen shakes his head as the fear effect dissipates for him. Summoning his akashic bow again, he makes his way to the door frame while Mr. Arvodair lightly gestures him to stay at that point. There is a quiet strength about him that is infectious to Kaen. At the doorway, he now fully sees the creature that seems to come out of Mr. Arvodair's lamp that has been hard to fully spot until now.

    R2T17-7: Eirina and Thickness keep hustling away.

    R2T4: Mr. Arvodair says, "We back out. Close the door, and rendezvous with the others while I tell you what we're up against. Don't push combat. It's pointless."

    He steps out by Kaen, and seems to ready to close the door, looking both in and out.

    Eirina and thickness continue to run, Eirina complete avoids the freaky portal which she figures would only take her closer to the thing that frightened her.

    Mr. Arvodair shuts the door and shoos others away from the door.

    Finally, Ambyr, Eirina, Thickness, and everyone will regather together. The strange, almost luminescent woman that a few saw is no longer there.

    "The spirit inside be a poltergeist," says Mr. Arvodair. "It is only visible to scare, but otherwise nothing we can see or fight at this time."
