Edwin's treasure: +1 Mace, Quarterstaff +2, Ring of Protection +1, Oil of Acid Resistance, Lens of Detection, Gloves of Missile Snaring (can be used to snatch arrows and the like out of the air). The Lens of Detection allows you to see very small things very clearly and to track as well as a 5th level Ranger.
"As I said earlier, a wizard's secrets are his own (the small one's brain matches her stature, obviously). Suffice it to say that I have returned and am ready to continue pillaging this castle for the secrets it contains. If we manage to save the girl, it shall be a fortuitous side effect (and a possibly rewarding one, if we keep her until the family pays our demands, yes). Let us carry onward."
He notices Sarevok poking at the painting with a hot poker.
"Do you have any particular reason for destroying potentially valuable artwork, warrior, or are you merely indulging in your baser instincts of destruction?"
OOC: Excellent. I shall interpret the Lens of Detection as a monocle. It suits him.
Sarevok tosses the hot poker back near the fireplace and steps back away from the fireplace his head turning sideways as he stares at the undamaged painting... after a moment he turns to Mazzy and politely grins and bows to her. Sarevok looks at Edwin with a strange gaze "A wizard questions me about destruction and conflagration?" Sarevok stares even deeper into Edwins eyes.. "how very ironic."
Montaron whispers back at Mazzy "I'll do yer toil." he than quietly and intently goes to work on searching for secret doors and traps. he also estimates the value of everything in the room to the nearest silver. (except Edwin)
OOC: I love how I keep getting to use his stock lines...you guys keep giving me great set-ups for it.
Edwin snatches the scrolls from Garrick and puts them in their case.
"Ah, I thank you for holding my scrolls while I was away, I will remember this when we uncover the ultimate power in this castle (the dancing monkey would make a good servant, yes)."
When Sarevok towers over him, he avoids the stare and dimisses him with a wave of his hand.
"I do not feel the need to explain the intricacies of my magical talent to an adept kobold herder and saboteur of small mining operations. Suffice it to say, my powers are beyond meager destruction. Now, were you able to glean something from failing to vandalise artistry?"
Hi guys, I've been following your continuing adventures in Ravenloft and I would like to make a comeback when there is space in your ranks. I had been avoiding the boards because I wanted to play EE without spoilers but it turns out my steam-powered Mac will never be able to handle it. And it is going to be a while before I can afford a new computer.
Anyway, Alora would like to make a comeback - especially now that Edwin, the finest mage in Faerun, has returned. If you will have her she promises not to pull any ropes or levers (and anyway last time it wasn't really her fault because someone really should have stopped her).
Okay, Permidion_Stark I will add your name to the list. Okay. Montaron finds a secret door on the northwest edge of the room that leads to a stair leading down. But there is no way to open the door from the opposite side. He also thinks the back of the fireplace sounds hollow. but with the fire going, there is no way to tell for sure.
Minsc takes a deep breath and lowers his axe head. He then lets out a laugh. "Haha it's only Edwin! I didn't recognize you without long hair and buxom bust."
OOC: do any of us have waterskins? that seems an immensely useful thing to have right now...otherwise we could possibly smother it with the tablecloth or curtains from the last room. or we could let Sarevok go all berserker on the fire.
"Hollow behind the fireplace eh? Minsc, your talents might be useful here. Bust through that wall with your primitive strength. A true Berserker of the Dragon lodge should have no fear of fire, no? (and let's hope this solves two of my problems in one blow, hah)"
Skie pokes at Sarevok, "hey... you... (damn, what was his name again?). Yeah you, big giant evil looking guy. How about you temporarily give me your ring of fire protection, so that the protection combines with mine and I'll go check out what's behind the fireplace?"
OOC: If Sarevok gives Skie the ring, she will search behind the fireplace. As I recall, a ring of fire protection only protects 40% fire damage, and 2 stacked would be 80%. If anyone else has any other fire protection equipment to cover the rest, that would be appreciated. Otherwise maybe Aerie could heal Skie when she's done.

Irina finally regains her voice. "How...?" she asks.
"Could you see if this room contains anything of interest?"
She lowers her voice to a whisper.
"Also keep an eye on this wizard as we continue, I am not certain he can be trusted. If he turns out not to be...you know what to do."
"Fear not good lady, it is no doubt just more of the vampires wicked tricks. Some sort of foul magic."
As she says these last words she stares hard at Edwin.
"Saervok?! Do you not think your time better spent on something beside the destruction of artwork? Keep your wits about you."

If Alora comes back we can have a halfling love triangle...

ooc Also sorry if I'm a bit quiet right now. Trying to figure out why I'm getting all these double posts.
