"Um...folks we cannot declare someone responsible for this evil, particularly the mayor, based on a vague suspicion of guilt. We need some proof, or at least a plan to gather some evidence."

Epi The ranger shrugs, "Well perhaps we'd best get Positive Steve back to town. If it is agreed that nothing can be done to aid the others, then I'll help do what must be done." "Brother Tomas, do you recognize any of these poor souls? Might someone in town wish to know what happened...

Epi Having no healing skills Epi leaves that to others, "So it seems this butcher is still active. One thing I don't understand, and admittedly there are plenty more, how does this person or creature get in and out of here? We haven't found any entrances or exits other than the one we made. Do...

Epi "So that poor creature is Positive Steve the sheriff? Can anything be done to help him? Perhaps he could provide us some information as to who or what is running this horrendous laboratory." She will see if she can help open his cage, offering some water to the tortured man. "Thi...

Epi Caine finds the largest boulder or club that he can and uses it to utterly reduce the demon statue to rubble and dust. She mumbles quietly, "I guess he doesn't like the art work." Epi tries to determine how long ago someone has been here. Checking say dust on the torture instruments. ...

Epi stands back as Angella approaches the restrained creature figuring she has had enough poisoning for one day."Well whle certainly disturbing, this does not appear to do anything to explain the disappearances."

Epi

The ranger grabs her torch and follows the big guy into the next chamber.

Epi

The ranger manages to quit coughing, "Bloody stink demon."

She takes a drink from her water skin, "Well in for a copper piece, in for a gold piece. Onward?"

Epi

Epi has trouble catching her breath, "Wh...wh..."

Epi The ranger will attempt to get in front of Brother Tomas and Angella, though without blocking Krual Caine, Don't want to get between the demon and the, well, monster. Assuming that is possible, she will stab the creature with her long sword. _____________________ To Hit: [1d20+3] = 12+3 = 15 Da...

"Well I never believed in that ladies first chivalry stuff. It seems you were destined to be here."

Epi Epi sheathes her clean long sword with a shake of her head. She looks at the two Krual Caines, "Well fought...um...you two?" What in the nine hells was that thing? She turns to Brother Tomas, "Nothing natural that's for certain. I was hoping you would know. Don't they teach about...

Epi The ranger smiles as the creature falls to the ground, not so supernatural after all, then watches in horror as it unnaturally rises back up, then again . She sets her feet and launches her attack only to be distracted by the appearance of a second Krual Caine, surely one was more than enough, ...

Epi Fortunately Epi has seen Krual Caine before, else she might not be able to determine which monstrous creature in front of her to attack. She draws her long sword and charges down the hallway. Alas she slips on the grime covered floor and her swing goes well wide of her target. Attack: [1d20+3] ...

Epi

As everything but humans seem to be able to see in the dark, the ranger takes out a torch and lights it. "Can't fight what I can't see and it sounds like any surprise that was hoped for by advancing in the dark has not come to pass."

Epi

Epi sighs and lowers her bow as firing into a melee is ill advised and firing into one in the dark seems exceedingly so.

Epi

The ranger readies her long bow, "It seems this one is not stupid enough to walk into our line of sight. Seems we may have to go down and ferret it out."

Epi

The ranger leads the now familiar path back to the former tower, keeping an eye out for any new or usual footprints that may have take the some route.

Epi

The ranger climbs out of the pit shaking her head, "Just more questions and no answers."

Epi "Well I guess we won't have to worry about these two anymore. Ya think they were prisoners down here, just in the wrong place at the wrong time, or perhaps the cause of this destruction?" Orando, mage, calls down the shaft. "Any secret doors down there?" Epi calls back up, &...
