Gallows of Madness: A Foul Breed – Turn Results 25

Lady Emyralda stepped back and targeted the monster with a fire bolt but the ray missed the mark. Wahesh turned and moved to the cleric’s aid. The fighter struck the creature with his new morningstar dealing 10 damage. There was a sickening crunch but the creature did not cry out. Ro-Mahn moved up to flank with the fighter and stab the creature. The rouge’s attack missed. Cando also joined the fight, missing with both ends of his double-axe.

The homunculus leaped upon Wahesh and bit the fighter with its out of proportion teeth. The bite struck flesh dealing 3 damage. The monster used its small size to seek cover between the fighter’s legs. Barnacleez let loose with a crossbow bolt but missed the monster. Stabem moved behind the fighter and attacked the creature but missed with a thrust from his rapier.

Thank You

The party entered the house and spread out to investigate. Lady Emyralda cast a Guidance spell on Ro-Mahn as the rogue headed toward the fireplace. The cleric moved toward the table. Cando and Barnacleez moved toward the stairs while Wahesh and Stabem moved toward the kitchen.

The fireplace was filled with paintings, bed linens and keepsakes such as wooden toys. The kitchen appeared to be a wreck based on the view through the partially opened door. A foul odor wafted from the room. The bloody footprints covering the stairs were unusually small, as if a baby had scampered up and down them several times but without using its hands.

Lady Emyralda gave a shout of pain as a small kitchen knife embedded into her foot dealing 2 damage.

A small, vaguely human-shaped creature was seen moving under the table. Barnacleez recognized it as some sort of homunculus. It lacked the wings and stinger and had more bulk and larger teeth than are typical for the creation.

(Looks something like this but covered in blood and armed with several small knives.)
