The Alchemist Shop (8)

[GreyWolfVT]

Odilo uses his staff to open the door further. While doing so he looks about to see if his potion is sitting round anywhere outside the hut.

[Grognardsw]

While Orando is looking around the outside of the hut, he notices the pair of Odilo and Grillock walking towards him from the south.

"Good day gentlemen!" exclaims Orando. "It seems we share interest in the alchemist. Beyond the door is a suspiciously clean and empty chamber. Have you been in this cozy abode before?"

[GreyWolfVT]

While you were walking towards the old woman's hut, you could have sworn that you saw someone (or something) looking around the back of the place.

Odilo noticing the person moving around behind the hut the mage speaks up and talks back "Yes we have been here naught but a day ago and there was an old woman inside a very odd old woman that was supposed to be making me a potion. Paid her good money for it too. Though now that I think of it that was bad business on my part. Pay upfront to not get the goods." the mage enters the place and tries to locate anything worth taking to make up for the loss. "Sorry my name is Odilo I'm a mage of sorts. Hope you don't mind while I search the place in and out for anything to make up for my loss of coin."

[Grognardsw]

Orando, elf enchanter

"Yes Odillo, I know you," remarks Orando as he steps into the doorway as Odillo enters the hut. "Mention of love potions I do find interesting. I glanced in there but minutes ago."

The circular room beyond the front door is completely empty except for a broom that leans up against the wall across from the front door. The room is about 8' across and you don't see any other doors or windows. You do notice that the floor is very clean.

"Is this how you last remembered the room?"

[GreyWolfVT]

Odilo shaking his head the mage says "No no no no no no.... Though the odd woman did not let me in it did look quite a dump from what I could see last time. This time it is far too clean. Perhaps a trap door in the floor?"

[Dram]

Grillock- I did see some kind of creature when I was looking in back of the house yesterday. I thought it be her pet as ran back into house.

[OGRE MAGE]

The three heroes reunite as Orando comes around from the back of the hut and reminds Odilo who he is.

The door opens easy enough. Inside, the room is still empty. (except for the broom)

You don't hear or see anything else after Odilo enters and announces his arrival.

[Grognardsw]

Orando, arcanist

Having seen much in his four centuries, Orando suspects this old woman is more than she seems. Or that broom possesses powerful cleaning magicks. Seeing Odillo safely enter, the fey prestidigitator follows and searches for secret doors.

Searching for secret (1-2/6) or concealed (1-3/6) doors/features [1d6] = 5

[GreyWolfVT]

Odilo "You put one too many L's in my name sir. But I do think this woman is more than she appeared."

[Dram]

Grillock- Follows Odilo into the empty room. He will also search for secret doors. From what I saw yesterday this hut there was barely room enough to move about. I will also search for secret doors.

Secret door search=floor
D6[1d6] = 3
L wall search
D6[1d6] = 2

R wall search
D6[1d6] = 5

Back wall search
D6[1d6] = 1

[OGRE MAGE]

Grillock enters the room and joins Orando in his search for secrets while Odilo One-ell also wanders further into the room, inevitably getting a bit closer to the broom.

The elves find nothing at first glance when suddenly, the door behind them slams closed with a bang and some clicking noises. The broom instantly animates and pops up to swack the unsuspecting Odilo upside the head and face. 2 dam and save vs Blindness in your next post please. The broom swings around with amazing speed and thuds into Odilo's nether regions. 1 dam

The broom seems to spin, dodge, perry and then thrust around again, making ready for its next attack on the surprised mage. (of sorts)

Actions!

[GreyWolfVT]

Odilo "Oomf!" the only sound the mage manages as he takes the beating from a broom. "Bah the damned thing got dust in my eyes I can't see a blasted thing." the mage stammers out as he tries to find his way out of the hut.
Save [1d20] = 8

[Grognardsw]

Orando, invoker

"Cleanliness is next to godliness," quips Orando, amused at the battling broom.

The elf scatters his pocketful of fine sand and orders: "Broom, clean this dirt as you were commanded."

Then Orando tries to open the door out of the room.

[Dram]

Grillock- Draws his L. sword to protect himself and Odilo. He get a hold of Odilo and help move him back towards the door. Let me help you outta of here.

[OGRE MAGE]

Orando scatters some sand across the floor and shouts out commands but the broom ignores his action completely. As Odilo moves towards the door with the help from Grillock, the broom swats him in the backside a few more times. It causes no more actual damage but is quite humorous to watch.

The three get to the door and it opens easily. As you are leaving the hut, you hear a snarky voice coming from somewhere inside the room.

Hahahaha! Run away little piggies! You weren't invited! The master doesn't like to be bothered when she is resting! Hahaha!

After you exit the hut the door slams closed again and you hear the same clicking noises.

Once Odilo wipes the dust from his face and eyes, he is able to see again.

[GreyWolfVT]

Odilo "Best not let me back in there I'll burn the place down." the mage quite perturbed tells Grillock.

[Dram]

Grillock- Confused. We did tell her that return today? Grillock walks up to the door. Well wake your mistress and her we are here for the potion she was to make for her.

[OGRE MAGE]

There is no reply from inside the hut.

It is still only about mid morning and the sun is beginning to shine brightly over the town now.

[Grognardsw]

"What poor manners."

Orando walks around the building again, looking in any windows or knocking on any other doors.

[Dram]

Grillock - Do we continue with this or go see the tailor?
