Harpies! Five of them, one quite spindly. They swoop in and Lucan looses an arrow to disrupt the leader's cry. Kohana blasts them with eldritch powers.

Lucan zaps the leader with a few more arrows. Several harpies land and one starts singing. The song enchants us and we move toward her. Another one screeches painfully. We are dazed and immobilized.

Sadian sings in counter to their screeches. I plant our new pack pennant to give us strength and help our victory.

Another one sings to lead us forward and out of position while we are dazed. Many bad things go back and forth. Kohana falls.

Slowly we manage to defeat these creatures. Inyan collapses sobbing. We look over the creatures and they appear to be humans with feathers.

We take a short rest. We hug Inyan. He gets better. We discuss his cubhood. We debate going to the Harpy lair or the fortified building. We decide on the lair.

Kohana does his wolf thing to rise up and lower a rope and Lucan follows. It is unsteady and Kohana climbs down while Lucan investigates. Sadian starts pulling parts off the leader Harpy.

Lucan comes down with a sack of food food. These creatures were People with a language, but they ate food food. This must have been a guard post at the edge of their territory.

We go to the other building. There is a shack inside the fence, boarded over, with a small glass box hanging from it. Kohana steps in with wolf power, and the glass box turns to follow him. Then it points at us.

Kohana performs a ritual on the door, and it opens. There is a box humming like the fence. He does something and turns off the lightning. Inyan climbs up and cuts the pointy metal vines, and we all climb over.

There is one door which is unsealed, and we try that one. Lucan unlocks it, Sadian chants to force the bar and spikes off of it. We enter, and Kohana chants a lock upon it.

There is plastic across the corridor, and we slice through it. There are sheets every few feet. Some of us can't breathe between the blocked off areas. Kohana summons wind, and we eventually cut through toward the corner of the building. At the end of the hallway, stairs go up.

At the top of the stairs, we break another plastic seal and open the door. Transparent plastic is on the other side, with a wood frame inside it to form a cube of sorts. On the other side is a large open area cleared of furniture.

Inyan enters the small room, and orange liquid pours down in the small room. He seems all right but smells bad. He turns off the humming device that pours the liquid, and we all pass through. There is a red line across the room and blood spatters near it. We investigate a door to the side.

Inside is a corner room with a window sealed with big pieces of metal. Desks contain old papers which Kohana takes.

The door on the other side contains a storage closet, with brooms and buckets and containers of stuff for the shower. There is a basin with handles on it. Kohana turns one of the handles and a loud thudding noise reverberates through the building, so he quickly turns it back.

We all cross the red line together. Nothing happens. The door opens into a hallway. No plastic. One door opens into a closet with some sort of racks.

The next doors open into a large room with a large wooden table in it. The next door leads to another room with desks.

We move on down the hallway. A big door lies at the end. To the left is a small door which leads to a large room with dismantled cubby holes and a door welded shut. To the right is an identical room.

The rolling door says “FIRE DOOR A7”, on the wall it says “WARNING: FIRE DOOR. STAND CLEAR WHEN ALARM SOUNDS”.

Lucan wants to rest first, so we track backward and Kohana locks the doors with magic.

We search the rest of the doors and find storage rooms.

We hole up in the conference room and level up.
