...I...found a journal...
Dorvren reads it, or at least the beginning
"This...
looks..
Creepy,
Kilain, what god is this an alter to?"
I believe this might be of great value to our employer. Does that Dwarf appear to have been a Taldan soldier?
Dorvren tells them what he has learned
Kilain scowls at what Doren has shared hurrrrrrm. Looking back at the fallen dwarf. Bother you were locked away in here and became cursed by The Midnight Lord ehh.
He looks over at Grey, Dorven, Kjell and Kylma and says Take it all. We'll be needin to melt down the service and symbols for they are to the Midnight Lord, Zon-Kuthon. but there should be some value to em.
...This dwarf was a cleric...of Torag...something awful must have happenned to make him like he is.
Dorvren stutters nervously
"The...
Midnight,
Lord?! You mean Z-
the Dark Brother?" Grey blanches notably at mention of the deity's sobriquet.
kept a Nidalese priest to help 'maintain order' on the estate.
"Wait! place was dedicated to "
"Did they that, back at the town?!"
...I don't think so...it was built to shelter soldiers...the other must have happenned after...I will check.
Dorvren moves further through the journal.
Kjell begins to gather up what he can.
picking up each of the scrolls in turn Kilain tries to decipher the script as best he can.
before he casts Read Magic twice.
This book is quite lengthy, even to thumb through it will take time. Halfway through it you come across something interesting.
...um...this is interesting. It seems a man built some kind of...device...maybe...on the top level...with some kind of glowing gem...Maybe we should check it out.
Kylma finds another door this one looks like it leads to the spiral staircase.
um...I dont suppose...if it is not too much trouble...do you think you could offer some more healing magic?
I be havin no more spell's I can swap out for a cure Dorven. The only spell I be havin remaining is a spell from Torag's domain of earth, and I can no be swappin that out. I only have 2 more of his burst prayers left. So I can use one but then we can only be gettin healed one more time ok?
"If needful, I have some healing magics. I've found it best to save them for the dire emergencies, however."
...o...ok...
Kjell pockets the gold, takes the Hammer and begins to march up the stairs. he turns back briefly.
Shall we?
Dorvren slinks behind Kjell up the stairs
His limp keeps him from moving as quietly as he would like however.
Edging behind the two larger fellows, Grey makes his own attempts at discretion.
Kilain gathers up the the asundry items on the altars. and follows the others not even making any attempt at being quiet...he knew better
1st scroll- Shatter
2nd scroll-Shield Other
Kylma takes her position in paarty and you all move up to the next level.you make it to the next level and find another door and the stairs continue up.
Once they are all together once more, Grey whispers. "Do we have any reason not to expect more undead, or worse, more possible K-
ahem, worshipers of...
him?"
Perhaps they would already have come down...
Kjell listens at the door.
Perception:
He whispers,
Want me t'kick it in?
Kjell listens at the door and doesn't hear anything on the other side and is very confident that there isn't.
Kylma says, i don't think that is a wise decision in any case. If by chance something is lurking beyond the door we don't want to alert it to our presence.
I do not hear anything...here we go.
Kjell opens the door.
Kjell opens the door and the group sees crude bunks lining the walls. The smell smell of death wafts through the room, but other than that the room is empty.
Kjell will turn back to the base of the stairs prepared to ascend when the others are done exploring the room.
Dorvren moves in, trying not to retch and explores the room
Dorvren and Kylma search the large bedchamber. Each bed containing a small chest that is unlocked and contain now useless armor and rusty weapons. Two doors lead out to other sections of the floor. One to the northeast the other to the southeast.
Wincing in his aversion, Grey sniffs intently, trying to locate the source of the odor of death.
Dorvren listens at the south door, then if it seems safe opens it.
Kjell approaches the door with Dorvren and also listens with his hand on the door.
Perception:
Let's go.
Kjell opens the door.
Kilain Stands in the center of the group, so he can see everyone and respond where needed.
Kjell opens the door and finds another room lined with beds and small chests. You check them all as you did before and find nothing of value or informative. Another door sets in the southeast wall of this room.
Dorvren checks the next door.
Which door?
Dorvren checks the door and it is locked. What is everyone else doing?
Kylma is behind Dorvren to his left with her greataxe ready to attack if need be.
Kilain stays about 10 feet into the current room, looking at Kjell for him to take point into the room.
Kjell proceeds asa normal through the room.
Perception:
