Café de Nuit

Vorj makes a Wisdom (Perception) check as he steps cautiously into the corridor.

With his +2 modifier, that's a 21.

Vorj takes several steps into the corridor on the other side of the room, his eyes scanning for traps or other threats.

Vorj makes an Intelligence (Investigation) check on the slab and what's behind it. I have a +3 modifier.

So that's a 16 on the check.

Vorj nods in agreement and says, "The house itself is working against us. I wouldn't trust any 'clues' that are left behind for us. As you say, Van, if someone is here, I doubt it's anyone who eats bread and cheese." He carefully looks behind the stone slab marked "Walter Durst,"...

So sorry! Been absolutely inundated at work lately and wasn't paying strict attention.

"North, then," agrees Vorj.

Vorj waits a moment. "All right then," he says, and then he resumes going up the stairs.

Vorj tenses at the eerie sound. With obvious reluctance, he pauses his ascent, and he gives Kimber's odd "friend" an opportunity to scout ahead.

Vorj sniffs in annoyance. "More traps," he says. "But it seems we have little close but to play this game through to its end." His massive axe in his hands, he steps forward. "Mind if I take point, Van? Burdur, if you do have that light spell handy, cast it on my weapon. I'l...

I'm in agreement with Van's suggestion.

"... All right," says Vorj finally. Turning to Van and Burdur, he adds, "As soon as the... scout returns, let's do as you say, Van. The less time we spend here, the better."

Vorj rubs his hands over his haggard face. "I'm glad for that, truly," he says to Burdur. "Perhaps all hope is not lost." He gets up slowly and checks his weapons.

Vorj sags, dropping to one knee. He is openly weeping, overwhelmed by the success of his spell. "Thank you, Piris, thank you," he mutters through his sobbing, "for not abandoning me to despair." After a few moments, he recovers himself and he says, "Kimber, I ... I do not kn...

Vorj casts Protection from Good and Evil on Kimber.
