🦉 The Biblioplex is only "closed" during the summer, so entering the building is not particularly difficult. During the late evening and early morning, it is minimally staffed, so sneaking in to explore unattended is just a matter of getting past the desk clerks. This group is able to sneak in handily (Yrsa had the lowest stealth roll at 15).
🦉 Helmine is able to confidently direct the group back to the location in the stacks where she got lost initially (rolled 19). However, the group does once again find themselves unusually disoriented and confused, and they struggle to locate the exit again. Everyone is aware something is following them, but nobody can get a clear look at what it is.
🦉 Yrsa is at the back of the group when they're ambushed from behind. They take moderate slashing damage. While their companions don't see what attacked them, Yrsa catches sight of it out of the corner of their eye. The creature is large, gaunt, and cat-like, with glowing yellow eyes.
🦉 Farrow keeps a level head while the rest of the group scatters. She takes a crossbow shot at the creature, but her bolt goes way wide (rolled Nat 1). She takes moderate slashing damage from the creature's claws.
🦉 Yrsa manages to punch the creature a few times, dealing it moderate bludgeoning damage. Everyone else's attempts to hide are fruitless (rolled 2, 2, and 1), but because Yrsa hit the creature, they draw its attention. It does major slashing damage to Yrsa with its claws, and then seemingly vanishes. Yrsa has taken enough damage that they are puppeted.
🦉 Helmine begins to navigate the party back towards the exit, fairly confident that she now has her bearings about her (rolled 17). Someone will have to grab puppet!Yrsa and carry them, because their little puppet leggies are too short to keep up with the group on foot.
🦉 Flavian takes major slashing damage from the creature as it ambushes the group again. Helmine (nat 20), Farrow (19), and Flavian (17) all manage to hit the creature. Helmine does moderate bludgeoning damage by using catapult to pelt the creature with books. Farrow does minor piercing damage with her crossbow. Flavian does moderate necrotic damage with inflict wounds. The creature is in very bad shape, and everyone gets a good look at it as it skulks off back into the stacks. It has a panther-like body with six legs and two long tentacles on its back.
🦉 Without the creature pursuing them anymore, the group is able to sneak out of the Biblioplex without being caught. Yrsa will need to be healed or take a rest before they revert to their non-puppet form. Flavian and Farrow have moderate cuts from being clawed. Helmine is unharmed.
