DtBP: Firebrand’s Redoubt – Turn Results 23

Barnacleez cast Bull’s Strength on Stabem. Stabem and Wahesh stood ready looking for queues from their companions. Ro-Mahn tried to speak but was at a loss for words. Lady Emyralda called out, “We mean you no harm. We are here to vanquish the evil and retrieve a few items for a friend of the dwarves. We ask to pass in peace.” The cleric quickly realized that this manifestation was more like a memory haunting this place than a thinking entity. Cando puzzled over the haunt and began to sing a song to bolster his comrades.

The rumbling and tension finally broke as a ghostly bulette leaped from the ground and pulled the dwarven woman below the floor.

At the sight of this, Ro-Mahn, Cando, Lady Emyralda, Stabem and Lou G’Boo were consumed with overwhelming fear, dropping their weapons in a panic and running away. The exodus took them back through the taproom and into the secret tunnel. Wahesh and Barnacleez stood their ground but were shaken by the experience.

The fighter and the sorcerer quickly gathered the equipment of their friends and retreated to the tap room and closed the door once more. After a short time, the panicked adventures came to their senses and rejoined their companions.
