The Manor

That iron door? What's so scary about it? Seems like every other door in this place. I move toward the door.

Blornvid reaches out and firmly grabs Ealdwig's shoulder. "Hold up, lad. Magic doors are nothing to do be trifled with. That's why I want to go with the stone door. Let Skeeve examine the iron door before we go in."

Skeeve will try a deeper magical scan of the iron door and see if he can recognize the magical glyphs.

I'll do two rolls: One for the scan and one for the glyphs. Both with focus.

Oh. OK. Thanks. Now noticing the writing around the door frame. You think it dangerous? Maybe it's nothing. Why not try it? We'll probably have to go through there at some point anyway.

Skeeve says, "I think I can open this without triggering anything. But, just to be safe, go back to the other room just to be safe."

Once they are out of the blast zone, Skeeve attempts to open it magically. With focus.

Well, that's a bummer. Hopefully it does less than six damage.

Well, now we know where the thing came from. Assuming they did what I asked, they are back in the room of the first one of these, so they are reasonably safe.

Skeeve yells, "Stay back and hit it with ranged weapons!" He himself pulls out his Stick, mentally turning it into a club (I assume this doesn't cost an action). He then activates his Onyx shield and tries to hit it with his Stick.

Following Skeeve's request, Ealdwig turns and heads out of the room.

Blornvid, you know we need to get you a nickname, that's a mouthful. How about Vid or Blorn? Blorn sounds kind of wierd. Ealdwig talks slowly and exaggerates it Balllllooooorrrrrnnnna. Smiling and giggling, yeah that's not gonna' stick.

As we move out through the door way, Ealdwig says to Vid um, I am pretty sure that writing just said "Welcome Please Come In."

Hearing Skeeve yelling about ranged weapons, that was fast, I guess that's our cue. Ealdwig gets up and heads for the doorway. Seeing this second construct and not having any ranged weapons Ealdwig pulls out the pole says the command word and runs in. Another one! Smiling a devious smile and calling back over his shoulder Vid! You with us?

Remembering his success from last time, if possible, Ealdwig uses his pole to vault over the creature trying to surround it. He'll then take two wacks at it to see if he can hurt it.

Blornvid cocks an eyebrow at Ealdwig. Perhaps we should call you 'Wig.' " A grin emerges from his beard.
"I doubt that, lad. Magic doors have been a pain since I arrived at the camp. And I do mean 'pain.' "
Blornvid growls. "Nothing I have works!" He lunges into battle anyway, hoping that the creature will attack him instead of his companions.

Smiling and cheering, ALRIGHT! We killed it! Just noticing that Skeeve took a hit, oh Hells, Skeeve, you ok?I'll help Skeeve out and tend to him the best I can. While helping Skeeve up, smiling to Blornvid, what about BeeVee? That's a good one. And no, Wig doesn't work, but Eald or El does. He seems to look back into a memory for a second. Dusting off Skeeve, You alright there buddy? Skeeve already has a nickname kind of feel, doesn't it? Where did you get a name like that, Skeeve?

Skeeve is still annoyed at himself for screwing things up with the door. Despite that he says, "That was great guys! Thank you for bailing me out like that."

To Ealdwig, he responds, "I'm good. It's just a flesh wound.

"My name? Have you ever heard of foundlings? You know, where fey steal a baby and replace it with something else? Well, I was one of those stolen babies. The name 'Skeeve' was given to me by my fey masters. Since it is the only name I have know, it's the one I still use. I honestly have no idea what my original name was."Skeeve also says, "The reason I was trying to open the door is because usually something locked that hard is hiding something interesting. The fact that it spawns out those metal monsters makes me want to open it even more, now!"
