Their destination was a circular library with curving bookshelves which surrounded four larger tables. The outer walls had more of those cubicles, most of which were occupied by mages in the three uniformed robes of High Sorcery.<br/><br/>“Hmmm, I don’t see anyone with a Redhurst robe,” Rensha said. “Let’s ask around.”<br/><br/>While not as expansive as Redhurst’s, the Tower of High Sorcery had a wide selection of books. Many referenced things specific to Krynnish affairs, and there was a relative lack of treatises from other Material Plane worlds.<br/><br/>Just then, Kleris felt something brush up against her leg, accompanied by a pinch!<br/><br/><em>Someone just drew your blood!</em>Horishkad warned Kleris.<em>See Invisibility, now!</em><br/><br/>Kleris saw nobody new, even with the spell employed. Rensha cried out from across the room.<br/><br/>“Ack, what was that?!”<br/><br/>Looking at their legs, a small puncture dot was left with a drop of blood forming on the wounded area. It didn’t take long for Rensha to put the pieces together; someone or something sought to use their blood for a sympathetic magic focus!<br/><br/>“Kleris, keep calm. It likely needed to store the blood somewhere, like a syringe or vial. Try to divine for an item like that!”<br/><br/><em>Kleris has several means of catching up to the bloodthief, such as Speak with Objects or Locate Object. The being has a head start, but let me know what you come up with in order to try and corner it.</em><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">The Homunculus got such a high result that neither Kleris nor Rensha are apt to notice the initial attack.<br/><br/>[url=https://www.d20pfsrd.com/alternative-rule-systems/psionics-unleashed/psionic-powers/d/detect-hostile-intent/]But Horishkad does!

When Kleris and Rensha reached the building, the interior seemed relatively empty. It wasccupied by just a skeleton crew of<em>Unseen Servants,</em>with the creature hiding poorly behind a row of beakers in a laboratory full of taxidermied animals.<br/><br/>Rensha stared at the being, eyes narrowed. “It’s likely up to something, so let’s be careful.”<br/><br/>But before the girls or the creature could react, one of the taxidermied animals came to life via animating magic! And it just so happened to be a large, clawed reptile with a toothy mouth...<br/><br/>Initiative!<br/>Kleris 23 (should be 1 higher) (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=157085)<br/>Megaraptor 17 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=157087)<br/>Homunculus 16 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=157088)<br/>Rensha 8 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=157086)<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Kleris goes first.<br/>The Megaraptor’s AC is 20 (touch 12 flat-footed 17), and for saving throw purposes its results are Fortitude 22, Reflex 17, and Will 14.
