Kendra says "I can detect undead now. Can anyone follow me with a light? I'll check how the basement looks now. We can check the secret room after. Jorfa, will you stick with Jominda?"
She walsk a circle through the jailing rooms, then to the middle of the basement, and up to the portcullis in the north and south.
Kendra returns to the torture chamber, where Jominda and Jorfa still sit.
"There's only undead left in the Nevermore, behind the portcullis with the broken winch. With any luck, this secret room has a passage towards it. Let's check if it's not just a stash like the other one, and if it isn't, we can keep it 'till tomorrow. That ok Jominda?"
"If you expect nothing from me than to drool on myself, be my guest." Jominda replies.
Jorfa grabs the keys, walks over to the wall and opens the secret door.
"This looks like a passage all right." Kendra remarks. As she looks at Jorfa she continues.
"Let's postpone that 'till tomorrow. Let us get some rest and then put a watch at the statue."
"I won't come tonight. If you don't have some magic to fix me, I'm not going anywhere anytime soon." Jominda tells before she drags herself to the apothecary and into her bed.
Kendra looks after Jominda for a moment, and then says to the rest "I'll be there tonight. I'll take first shift, at ah... let's say, sunset?"
Then she runs after Jominda.
"Wait up, dear. I'll help you to settle in. Can't have you drag yourself to home when you're feeling this ill."
"Thank you." Jominda replies. She offers Kendra a seat on the comfy sofa in her room while tucking herself in in the bed.
Kendra makes sure Jominda drinks a bit before she falls asleep.
"Mind if I take another look at those wounds you received?"
"No." Jominda replies lifting her blanket and taking a closer look herself.
"These certainly don't look like ordinary wounds." Kendra says.
After a short gesture she continues,
"But it's not magical either. I really have no idea what this is."
"I hope Father Grimburrow comes up with something. I know of no disease that causes such strange symptoms. Am I haunted now?" Jominda ponders.
"Can I get you anything before you go to sleep? Or for when you wake up?"
"Do you have one of your sandwiches left?" Jominda asks.
"No, but I can make you one." Kendra smiles warmly. She stands up and moves to the kitchen area, where she starts looking for ingredients and a plate and cutlery
Jominda's kitchen is a mess - a one person household mess, so it's bearable - but everything is there. And where one would expect it. For the tools you find not necessarily a clean item but who cares. Not Jominda. There is ham, cheese, bread some tomatoes and a withered lettuce. Also a pot with a lid on it.
Kendra recoils from the jar as she opens it, and quickly screws the lid back on. She'll have to dispose of the contents later. First, she quickly makes Jominda a sandwich, and brings it to her on the cleanest plate she can find.
"Here you go, dear. Eat well, get your strength back up."
"Thank you." Jominda replies with a smile while she curls herself up under the blanket.
Almost drifting off to sleep she is suddenly fully awake again as if hit by lightning. "But you're not going alone to watch the memorial, are you?"
"I will, but I'll only watch. Don't worry, I won't try to stop anything from happening."
"Don't get yourself killed! That'll help no one. Take care." Jominda appeals to Kendra's conscience. She curses herself that she can't come along to help.
"I'll be fine, really. Get some rest." Kendra insists.
Kendra looks after Jominda for a moment, and then says to the rest "I'll be there tonight. I'll take first shift, at ah... let's say, sunset?"
"Fine with me." Jorfa replies and goes to her home to get some rest. She gets up again in the late afternoon. She visits the laughing demon for an ale. Close to sunset she leaves and walks over the bridge to the posting pole to read what's new in town and waits for Kendra.
After Kendra made sure Jominda sleeps, she actually just takes the sofa and sleeps there. When she wakes up she makes something to eat for herself, checks on the still sleeping Jominda, and has something to drink.
Making a mental note that she needs to throw out the stew still, she goes towards the monument, but meets Jorfa halfway.
"Hello Jorfa." she smiles.
"Hello Kendra." Jorfa greets her. "You have a plan for watching the Warden?"
Grimburrow follows everyone back to town with a very downtrodden look. He seldom looks up and only nods when spoken to.
What he saw in the iron maiden has seriously unnerved him.
He eats a basic meal of bread, cheese and water before he goes to the Temple vaults to search for scrolls.
At sunset he makes his way to Jominda's house with an arm full of different scrolls, so tall he can barely look over the top of them.
He knocks at the door with his foot and shouts in "Its me. Would you kindly let me in."
The door isn't locked and shortly opens as you knock with your foot before it slowly closes again. From inside you only hear snoring.
Grimburrow chuckles and walks backwards into the door. He deposits his scrolls on a table and quickly sorts through them to find a scroll of detect curse. He then follows the snores and quietly incants the scroll and then checks Jominda
Jominda's snoring stops as the talking seems to startle her in her sleep, but she simply turns around on the other side. She continues sleeping (but not snoring).
Grimburrow nods as he rolls up the scrol, moves back to the table, and grabs two more scrolls. He then goes back to the room and incants the remove curse first followed by a detect curse.
He then uses the other scroll, and seeing as she no longer detects as cursed he takes the scrolls and heads back to the temple to drop off the scrolls before making his way to the bridge near the memorial
"Hello Father. Looks like we're almost complete. Jominda is in no condition to join us I suppose?" Jorfa asks.
"I saw to Jominda before making my way here. I removed a curse from her. However I think she could do with the rest so I left her to sleep."
"Better have her sleep at home than on the watch." Jorfa comments.
Kendra looks up. "Father, you're here as well? It's quite a party like this."
"It would not be proper to leave two ladies out alone on a night like this." He says with a kind smile
"Very kind of you." Jorfa replies with a smile thinking Who will have to look after whom here. "So where are we going to go to watch the memorial?"
Kendra looks around for a vantage point from which they have a good view of the memorial, but some cover or shadow themselves.
"We should have brought some stools." Jorfa comments.
"I can fetch some blankets where we can lie on?", Kendra says as she gestures at the shrubbery.
replying to Jorfa, she grins "Too bad the Sheriff isn't here. I would ask him, in return for our help, to force Gibs to lend us some stools."
"I'll go and fetch some." Jorfa replies and walks back to her workshop where she grabs three three legged stools and brings then to the memorial.
"One for each of us. Let's find a comfortable place." she tells and disappears into the bushes.
Kendra fetches the stone of alarm from her pocket.
"Maybe this'll help."
She holds the cube against the back of the monument, the other side of where the writing was, and speaks the command word the earlier detect magic had revealed. It attaches itself, and kendra quickens her pace as she moves towards the bushes and the others.
"What was that?" Grimburrow says startled, "I would like to investigate but I don't think we should split up or leave the memorial alone."
Kendra nudges Jorfa again, and whispers under her breath, "I think whoever's coming just startled and silenced the dog. All we have to do now is wait and see."
