Hmm having the city guard forever in your debt, could prove uselfull in the future.
Morgana casts Cure Light wounds on The captain.
"Alright. This B!tch is dying right now...again."
After the last ghoul has been properly blasted, Morgana turns to Bobbity.
Let go find Ilya. W need to figure out what we need to from heree.
"BURNIN IT! BURNIN THIS WHOLE DAMN PLACE DOWN!" he yells but for some reason follows Morgana out.
Without warning Bobbity pulls out his small light crossbow and fires in Ilya's direction.
Thankfully for the necromancer, the bolt imbeds itself in the tree rather then the half-vampire's soft flesh. "My bad. I have limited control over my hand when I'm PISSED!" He sounded angry but he was smiling in a very cryptic way. He also reloads and keeps the bolt aimed at the tree. "Come on out pale-face and take your apology bolt."
The Captain fell to the undead. What should we do now? We return to town without the captain, unless we can bring back the head of the necromancer and try convincing the townsfolk of the truth.
"I'm blamin ya for bein a b~!@+," he yells in reponse. "But on the other two points, ae garde. Or is it flambe? What was I mad at?" he asks scratching his head with the wrong end of a loaded crossbow. Thank god he had a short attention span. After thinking for a moment he snaps his fingers. "What if we took over? Finish what the fool here obviously couldn't, raise our own army of the dead and take over. And if all else fails, BURN IT!."
Morgana remembering that the pool was magical, Let us go back inside. That pool was giving off some faint magic. I would like to investigate it further.
"Yay. Magic water." says Bobbity with mock enthusiasm. He follows nonetheless.
Morgana enters the monastery and move towards the pool.

Morgana & Bobbity definitely feels the presence of arcane energies around the pool. Everyone recalls something from their past, a minor event or otherwise, that makes them feel the need for revenge.
The swirling blue liquid glows faintly, coloring everyone in a faint bluish tint.
You notice that at three equidistant points around the pool are three small daggers among various smaller runes.
These daggers are definitely a symbol representing Calistria.
You know that the pool was used for summoning creatures to defend the monastery. It was possible to use it multiple times, but with the remaining water, you can only use it once more.
Spell: Summon Monster II (1 hour duration)
It's magic can be invoked by a single drop of blood into the water, but there are clues among the runes saying:
"Only Revenge's Chosen can bring about the vengeance of lost souls."
Bobbity's reticence earlier is replaced with curiosity at a speed only an ADD person could muster. His amplified focus takes in every little detail of fountain. He notices the runes, the daggers, the religious symbol of Calistra and the summoning magic flowing through it. As Morgana gets a closer look Bobbity stealthily shoves her into the fountain. He watches and waits, hoping that she scraped her hand or leg on the way in to satisfy the blood requirement for the summoning.
?
What the hell are you thinking?
"You humans stink, take a bath."
Now let me take a look.

Also, with that Spellcraft Roll, you not only know about the spell and drop of blood requirement. You also know that if it's YOUR blood that is dropped, the magic is augmented with the power of vengeance that it will allow you to Summon Monster III (1 hour duration) but these are automatically Chaotic.
Morgana pulls out her dagger and makes a shallow slice across her palm and lets the blood drop into the pool.

As the blood makes contact with the water, smoky tendrils of red seem to erupt from the blood. It spreads across the bluish water. Bluish shapes swirl in anger as they turn to red until the whole pool glows with bright red hue. It shines for a moment and seems to pulsate as a whirlpool forms in the middle, sucking all the liquid into a large orb of mass and arcane energy.
A dretch demon slowly climbs out of the pool. Morgana turns to the pudgy demon.
Come take out your anger and frustration on the undead.
"Minions! WooOOOoooowhoa that smells." Bobbity's initial exclamation of joy turns into a cry of revulsion as his nostrils are assaulted by the demon. "He toots, the dead can't smell," he reminds Morgana while holding his nose.
[b]Down the hallway to the right.[b]
Morgana walks down towards the hall to the right and will first serach t he dead captain's body for anything useful.
Bobbity smacks himself in the head as he walks over to the dead guard captain. "Can't believe I forgot about looting the body. That's the fun part. Stupid undead. Never have loot. Yoink," he says filling up on Holy Water. He then Follows well behind the minion ready to fling righteous fury. Oh the irony.
After the demon gives the all clear, Morgana beckons the demon forward, and rounds the corner. Morgana then takes a look for herself.

The dretch simply looks at Bobbity as it hears the singing behind like a shadow music box. It shrugs and trudges forward, ignoring him as it climbs the shallow flight of stairs.
On the next platform, it sees a lot of dried blood splatter. The fires from the torches light up the place quite well but gives a gloomy feel to the room.
It does not see anything else in particular and tells Morgana it looks like home. Bloody and empty.
