Well Torlak is content with sleeping till morning.
"Palander, Wake me in a few hours for my turn on watch. And make sure that door is locked will ya. I doubt it will keep any thief worth his salt out, but it will take one a bit of time to pick it at least. Give us enough time to get ready to split their skull if they try to come in here".

Ok so you all bed down for the night. In about 1230 am, Pallender and Ker who will say was getting up to use the bathroom see something now walking around the gardens. Looking out the window is a hooded figure carrying a hooded lantern. It looks like this figure is exiting from the front door of the manor and is moving towards the small cemetery where something was spotted earlier. The figure is heading to that mausoleum. Your group is on the 2nd floor and other then out the window there is no balcony or trellises to descend down.

Palandar tells Ker to wake the others, puts on his armor and weapons, and starts to put some sheets together to make a cloth ladder to descend (unless the others think we should traipse through the house and through the main door)

Ker nods and quietly rouses the party, taking time to watch the halls and balconies to see if should any manor dwellers see him at the different doors. To all who answer, he tells them "Strange things are afoot in the cemetery. Suit up and arm--Palandar has made a means of invisible exit to the lower grounds from the window in his room."

Ker easily rounds up the group and you make this make-shift cloth rope or u could use your own rope. You then slowly make your way down to the ground below. This takes about ten minutes to accomplish. You are all now on the side of the manor. Ahead is the small cemetery. There is a small gate that is now open. Near the main Mausoleum there is a light and the entrance is open. Near the entrance to the right of it is a person digging a hole and there is something wrapped in a blanket. The person is hooded.

Any fast talkers want to suggest a plan of action? Palandar is mainly good at stabbing things

The hooded person has not seen you and you can actually hear some sobbing noise as well

Torlak will charge the hooded figure and tackle them to the ground and pin them down.

Seeing the dwarf's quick action, Ker Tethwan will kneel at the bundle and investigate its nature, fearing what he may find....

torlak moves over with the others and tackles the man. The man tries to get up and is pinned. He then starts talking,screaming and in some cases crying, " I am so sorry, mom how can you do this. They didn't deserve this." In the bundle is a beheaded, shriveled young girl, probably no more then 6 or 7 years old. the body looks drained of color and the head clearly has been chewed off." As you might of guess this is Katrina's Son you have pinned on the ground.

Palandar puts two and two together, and hopes he makes four. "His mother was wearing a pendant with a dog on it, and it looked eveil. Could she be a werewolf, and her son is trying to cover for it?"

Ker Tethwan bows his head.
"Innocent child. You shall be avenged"
Turning towards Torlak who grapples the young man he says, "You had best tell your tale, man, and pray that we find you a victim of your evil mother and not her accomplice!"

The man panics a bit gains some composure. He says, " my mother wanted eternal youth. She searched every book and consulted with every church and no one to help her. Then one day a traveler came by and spent the night. He was very friendly to mother and when mother told him of her plea, he offered to help her. He refused no payment but offered her a ritual to summon a creature to do this. That night the man left suddenly and mother cast the ritual. A unholy demonic creature appeared and offered to assist her by teaching her a ritual to drain younger women their beauty, in exchange for her most prize possession. Mother has been doing this for a couple weeks, until Jon saw mother do this. Her hounds killed the young man but mother could not drain him. Mother panicked when she could not get younger women and last night went after babies. Mother sacrifice must have been great as she was given a locket to perform the ritual and two undead dogs and a hound that breathed fire to assist her. Those creatures and her are in the mausoleum now. "
Then there is a screeching female voice says, " Jeffries, d**nt boy come here and assist mother. I have to send the boys out to fetch me a child."

OOC: maybe one of us should take Jeffrey's robe and take the child to his mother disguised as him while the rest of us follow behind just out of sight.

"I am willing, though I believe she has already fed from this poor child." He looks at the son with horror and disgust yet with a measure of pity...

The young child is quite dead and it looks now almost skeletal and quite gaunt looking

"Aye. We can do that too", says Torlak with a smile. "Let us tie this one up and then deal with his mother".

Jeffrey easily surrenders and you all tie him up. The masualeum door is open and as soon as you finish when two skeletal dogs appear from the mausaulem. Bits of decayed flesh can be seen from the hides of these creatures. You wonder what happened to these creatures. With their glow of their undead red eyes they advance to attack
Intentions?

Round 1:
players init 5 monsters init 2:
PLayers actions: Palander moves and attacks with his axe and hits the hound with his axe for five points of damage which moderately injures the hound. Torlak attacks the 2nd hound and hits it causing 9 points of damage which destroys the hound. Ker Tethwan moves and attacks the remaining hound and hits as well causing five more damage which defeats the hound,
end of combat ( good rolls) also would have need actions for Alianora and jinx
awarding xp and the hounds have nothing on them

Palandar pauses a moment, and asks "If the mother is supernatural, do we have any silver or magic weapons with us? I have two silver tipped arrows, and that is all"

As after thought he adds "Do we enter the den or try to draw her out? And what shall we do with him?"

"We could tie him up and leave him here for now. Or we could just kill him and be done with it".
