We are meeting with Julienne and talking about the banquet tomorrow night. If we have any boon that we know we want from the Regent Mother, we should tell Julienne now. I can think of nothing. We head out to the mage academy; Perrol notices animals taking an interest in us as we walk. After a brief wait, we are able to get in to see Aaron without an appointment. We ask him about Valmorellian and are basically warned away. Aaron says that Valmorellian relishes the control of sentient beings in addition to having a wand that stores firebolt energy. However, both for objects that disrupt/prevent teleportation and protect against mental invasion/control we need to see Igor down in the labs. We ask the admin outside the door and she states that Igor cannot be disturbed at the current moment, but we could see his apprentices. We head down to the labs in the subbasement with a page leading. The apprentices are irritated at first, but when we decide to pay them for their research skills during the next day. Then we head on out to the temple of the Skyfather to report on our findings as well as to ask for help in suppressing teleportation and/or blocking mind control. We are greeted by the initiate who we dealt with before and he leads us directly to Matthias. When we relate that we have information on the missing families he refers us to Helen Gaius the high priestess of Hospin, who is handling all of the matters of that nature. For our search for a magical item(s), we are referred to the temple/priests of Varidon. Again when we are traveling from temple to temple, at least one member of our party notices that some animals we pass are watching us. One by one, we approach a crow that is intently studying us and it keeps it’s eyes on the group. When it is startled, the only people left in the group were Kross and myself. In all likelihood one of the two of us is the reason for which the animals study us. We arrive at the temple of Hospin and greet Helen Gaius to share our news. She is not pleased.
By the time our interview is over, it is evening and we head back to the inn for a meal and sleep. My watch passes without event. I turn in to catch some sleep. Suddenly I am awake to see a spectral figure leaning over Kross with a hand in his gut. I roll out of bed, grabbing my stiletto as I pass. Half move to get next to Kross and the spectral wraith.
Attack=Oruskormaeli with DCV 8 and miss
Attack=Oruskormaeli with DCV 4 and miss by even more
Segment 12
It floats over to Jarlyn and swings but appears not to hit. I half-move to go follow it to attempt to strike again.
Attack=Orunatiya with DCV 12 in the chest for 9 and causes it to screech horribly
Attack=Orunatiya with DCV 12 in the vitals for 4 and it lets out yet another terrifying scream while glaring at me.
Perrol swings and misses. Jarlyn cries out to the Skyfather and holds up his holy symbol. Ghoral moves over to the wraith and misses his strike as well.
Segment 3
The wraith turns tail and runs right through the wall.
End Combat
Jarlyn goes over to help Kross but he starts to recover on his own.
