[IC] Chapter 1-3: Mansion of Hate

[DM Surranó]

Neither Giant nor Lugar come up with anything useful (neither passthrough nor noise-makers or ghost footprints...) The attic once continued to the south but now runs only west (west is up on the ascii art map, sorry) i.e. above the rooms the team has already inspected (from the guard barracks to the library).

Meanwhile, Murkatos tells you about the weapons he seeks.
"According to my sources there's a rare artifact here that translates a paladin's divine grace into enchantment. There's another one that can fell a dragon with a single hit, and a third one that numbs the most dextrous of the animals. But above all these--"
He takes a momentary pause to ensure that he has the undivided attention of everyone.
"There is a war machine made of pure adamantine, propelled by arcane power."

Merri snaps her lavender eyes at the man. "Like an I--"
Her question is aborted by a sharp and painful wail. Her left knee fails to hold her weight and stumbles across the debris to regain posture but falls. Lugar can catch the flash of a ghostly hand disappearing into the floor.

"Sonova! Move!" Maul roars and indicates the opening leading downstairs. He jumps to the girl to help her back to her feet and then they stumble together towards the crack.
