Death House

[kintire]

Kimber eyes the house with close attention, watching the interior while the others check out the fog. She steps closer to the door and looks inside, not yet crossing the threshold, then glances back at the rebels, rolling her eyes.

"Royalist poison gas... I'll tell you this just one more time. We are in a different land. There are no "Royalists" here. Whatever power has brought us here, its got nothing to do with that. As for burning this house..."

She looks at the singed part.

"Didn't seem to work too well last time."

GNORRIC laughs.

He mutters in Gnomish:
"You'll see how us rebels light it up, you royalist harlot."

Bhunder replies in Gnomish "With style and finesse. Nothing like the Royalists, brother."

(Gnomish)
"Yesssss."

[VAN]

Van just waves his hand dismissing Vorj's statement.

When finally Burdur starts feeling better he says:

"I think we should enter, cautiously of course and never split. I also suggest to break the windows shatters from the outside so we will have more light inside and a fast exit if things get messy. Any of you have a torch or any other source of light?"

[alhoon]

Burdur speaks a quick dwarven prayer holding his holy symbol. As he prays, a warm white-yellow light starts pouring out of the anvil and hammer engravings of his holy symbol and spreads covering the whole symbol bathing the heroes in it's luminesce. Burdur puts the holy symbol around his neck again, takes hold of his mace and moves into the house, pushing the rusty portico gate aside.
"I'm not sitting in the rain." he says. "I'll guard here till you break the shutters".

[kintire]

Kimber glances coldly at Gnorric.

"Shielding yourself from the heat with a passing child, like your captain, rebel?" She replies, in fluent and unaccented Gnomish.

She then follows the dwarven cleric into the house, hefting her club and looking for the shutters!

[ewancummins]

"Thanks for letting me know you can spy on us when we speak Gnomish."
The ugly little gnome gives Kimber a wide grin."You bait easily."
GNORRIC laughs at the woman.

[Ken of Ghastria]

Vorj moves to help take down the shutters. He looks over at Gnorric. "You. Instead of whispering and snickering behind Van, make yourself useful and keep an eye on Burdur. No one should be left alone here."

[ewancummins]

Vorj moves to help take down the shutters. He looks over at Gnorric. "You. Instead of whispering and snickering behind Van, make yourself useful and keep an eye on Burdur. No one should be left alone here."

" Try giving me another order and see what happens next, royalist."
He laughs again.
"You and the woman are outnumbered two to one. So don't be stupid. This is a Rebel mission, and that means a Rebel should be in charge. I say Van is the leader. You and Kimber don't get any say."

[kintire]

Kimber looks a little puzzled. "If you didn't know I spoke Gnomish, why insult me in Gnomish?"

Then she shrugs and resumes looking around the mysterious house!

"Oh that's ok brother, maybe one morning he'll wake up turned into a toad," he wiggles his fingers for effect.

"Nobody tells us what to do, especially a royalist. I agree with Gnorric. I vote Van our leader. And looking at Kimber "I didn't think it possible for a human to have the learning capacity to be

able to speak Gnomish. Alas maybe I was wrong?"

"Van is more than smart enough. But I think if somebody from our country is smart and brave, he's probably going to join the rebels."
GNORRIC scowls.
"Unless he's a villain." He glares at Vorj.

"I agree with you brother. Especially smart and brave, it can only be Van and he has the intelligence needed to join the rebels, not the royalists.

He stands by his brother, glaring a few seconds at Vorj.

[alhoon]

The shatters give in to the party's attacks with groans and loud cracks that carry despite the rain. In the weak light afforded by the mists as they choke the raising sun, the group can see inside.

The oak-paneled room looks like a hunter’s den. Mounted above the fireplace is a stag’s head, and positioned around the outskirts of the room are three stuffed wolves. It's clear to Kimber that the animals have been killed for sport and their carcass is displayed here in a grotesque parody of a wolf pack, their snouts permanently locked in an unfriendly growl.
Two padded chairs draped in animal furs face the hearth, with an oak table between them supporting a cask of wine, two carved wooden goblets, a pipe rack, and a candelabrum. A chandelier hangs above a cloth-covered table surrounded by four chairs.
Two cabinets stand against the walls.
