Invisible stalkers, planning and magical stuff!

by Marya Silverstring

So back to shopkeeping creature grappling with Sebastian
Also the thing seems to have 4 legs and not be completely visible
Meanwhile the shopkeeper starts looking for something in their drawers, some kind of white wand
And this creature kind of tries to suck Seb in? O.o
 
Attacking the creature with mundane weapons doesn't damage it by super much
Yep it also doesn't react much to my scimitar
The shopkeeper then uses the wand and suddenly there's loads of magic missiles flying around
Sofia doesn't do much with a magic staff
 
Melech does some strong stuff with necrotic magic
I then get him away from the creature
Somewhere in the fight the doll dies
Magic staffs definitely help with hitting that thing
And then Balak finishes it after doing barely anything all the fight x'D
 
There's some healing for Seb
At the same time Melech finds a gem in the rubble of the doll
There's also no corpse of the creature left behind
Also it seems like the shopkeeper can be reassembled in the back room
 
As Sofia is waving the staff around like a maniac, Seb, Melech and me go back to the backroom
Yep the new shopkeeper is very quickly back to business
Seems like the creature that attacked was an invisible stalker
Though they don't know why they were attacked
 
It seems we're being hired as personal investigators
Seemingly those invisible stalkers aren't doing that stuff willingly
They usually get bound
No enemies, no business rivals
But yeah the creature was definitely targetting them
And their gem has a human soul, their soul inside?
Weirdly it attacked when we were around
Devils deal in souls, so that's one option, but it would be uncommon
Maybe someone that wants to bargain with a devil and doesn't want to offer up their own soul?
Or someone that wants to get their soul back?
 
Only a couple of people know of the soul thing of the shopkeeper
Might also be someone that knew them before, but they'd have to be very old
We're talking around 200 years ago
The person most likely isn't super creative
As reward we're talking about custom item jobs & a discount
 
We talk around about rewards and help and stuff
Melech gets a special magic ring
Seb gets a rapier
Sofia a longbow
I get myself a scimitar
Seb also asks for a healing potion and gets one
 
I raise that I could get in touch with my extended family for information
Or we could do a pub crawl
Sofia is a little confused about the family of Balak and me
 
Scimitar can do an extra attack as bonus action as well as the +1
The rapier is a +2 rapier that costs death saves
It's a +0 longbow, if it hits, it gets better, gets weaker with misses
