As soon as one of the priests noticed it, it fell from the air. When the skull struck the center of the large table, it exploded in a flash of light. Screams filled the room. Weapons rang against the stone floor. The sturdy wooden table, worn from decades or centuries of use, cracked in two. When it was over, twelve priests of Morenthplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigMorenth

Three living priests watched, aghast, while a fourth stood helpless and paralyzed, the stench of rotting flesh flowing off of him in waves.
Once the commotion started, Halarenplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigPreceptor Halaren
Halaren stands wide and heavy, large feet and hands offsetting a comparably small head. He looks in his late twenties.

The priests watched as a shimmering mist formed in the air. Slowly, it took form. A pair of red eyes peered out, eyes without pupils, and then the whole creature leapt out of the mist. It looked like an evil, fiery hound out of legend, with course, rust-red fur and claws and teeth the color of dried blood. Ziedonplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigZiedon

A howl nearby was followed by a scream and then silence. The only sounds remaining were a single set of running feet, and soon, that too stopped. The hound prowled the library, looking for more prey.
Kreemon picked up a few daggers from the dead priests and used them to spike the door shut. He had nothing to hammer them through the thick wood, but eight daggers stabbed in at angles, and some shoved into the already tight spaces where the door hit the wall, would slow down the priests whose running feet could already be heard.

Then something tickled his memory, something he'd just barely noticed. He looked back at the bottom shelf. It was rotted straight to the floor, but something was odd. The floor looked different under the shelf than it did in the rest of the library. Now that he thought about it, many of the bookshelves didn't even have a shelf at floor level, but both sets here did.
The door shuddered and opened a crack, sending several daggers flying and causing one of the heavy table halves to slide a bit down the stairs, sending splinters flying as it scraped the floor. Kreemon got it back into place and shoved the door shut again. If that was the best they could do, there wouldn't be a problem, but if they brought enough force to bear, it might become difficult to hold them off.

With a little maneuvering, they had it in place to help the blockade. This looked like it would hold for a while. Kreemon then gathered up the assorted weaponry, and put them in one of the sacks he was carrying. He soon realized that it would be tough to carry all of it, even if the bag held. Individually, the weapons were pretty light, but six maces and nearly a score of daggers and their sheathes added up. He pulled out the maces and tossed them into a corner.
