After a moment's thought, Harika says "I think it may have been a berbalang." She goes on to describe the creature and its abilities .
"Sound bad. Might come in during big fight. Maybe need kill it now. "
"Indeed, I do not like leaving such a powerful creature alive to haunt our steps and attack while we are distracted or sleeping. If it's physical body must be within 1 mile. That means we may have a fairly easy time tracking it. Perhaps if we find the people who left the tracks they may know more about its liar or where it goes to ground?"
As the healing neagtive energy flows into him Kardav gives the woman an grateful smile as the worst of the wounds heal. "Thank you." He says, coming out of his trance as he stands.
"I agree, we can't let this thing haunt us while we travel. Let's look around, we might find some clues."
"If this beast is as terrible as you gentlemen and ladies, and..." Ynthar turns to the two giants in armor "Other gentlemen then we should destroy it now, might be a good start to helping with keeping the Whispering Tyrant in check"
Harika sighs. "I think this is a waste of our time and resources, but am not going to go on without you all. Let's find this thing and kill it."
"It's not so much a waste of time as it is a not-getting-shanked-in-the-middle-of-the-night detour. We're going to be traveling through it's territory and we don't know how far away it is, not to mention we're on foot and it's going to be able to keep pace with us for the entire journey." He gives the necromancer a charming smile and reassuring pat the shoulder. "Besides, the hardest part is going to be finding this thing. Destroying it's going to be a breeze, so don't worry, this won't take long."
Perhaps. The easiest way would be to use a spell. Does anyone have a spell that allows them to track the person that was controlling the undead. Or perhaps the person that raised it? Without somthing of this nature, I fear we may need to accept that this creature will hound us further. I say, if we do not have the means to track it we merely wait until it shows itself again. Then strike at it. Otherwise I fear to large a detour and distraction.
"Yes, if creature not made of stuff when near, not leave track. No way to track. Unless someone have magic trick to find, we likely have no luck and must go on. "
Kardav thinks for a moment. "I have some scrolls we could use, but I'd rather save them for tracking down the cultists we're after. If it comes to it then we could use one but I'd much rather not." He looks around to see if anyone else is going to offer up anything.
Harika shakes her head, a rueful smile on her lips. "My Mistress has not given me that ability. I raise them, not track them."
"I am not skilled in such things. Point me at a target and I'll incinerate it to ash, but I leave tracking the targets to those with such skills."
Kardav sighs and pulls a scroll out of Carrion Compass. "Ugh, I hate this part." He says as he reaches down to one of the wolves and with a look of distaste rips out one of the eyeballs and casts the spell.
I suppose we have our heading then? Let us hurry and be done with this before whatever it is escapes. Valoren begins to follow the eyeball. Shuddering slightly at the sight of it.
Bug also follows it.
"Aye, a little disturbing to say the least. Shall I scout from overhead? Or would you all prefer me to stay low?"
"I think staying with us unless a few of you can go up, don't want to be the only one being full of arrows do ya?"
Ynthars hair is blowing in the breeze a big smile on his face.
Harika nods. "That would be prudent, so long as you can see and follow the seeker from above." She gestures at the floating eyeball.
The eyeball leads you to an enormous graveyard. You see a pillar with an engraved message.
"Here lies the casualties of the first great battle of the Shining Crusade in 3754. The magic of this place ensure they will never rise again."
Ynthar will have a casual look around to make sure that the sign is correct in its statement of no one rising from here.
There doesn't seem to be any undead inside the graveyard.
Kardav brushes his hand along the pillar, muttering a prayer as he reads it. "Lets hope the magic is still working with the destruction of the lesser seals." He says, looking out over the graveyard.
You enter? Who goes first?
Kardav will enter, activating Detect Undead as he does.
Let us look around, but tread carefully all.
Nothing happens when Kardav enters and he doesn't detect any undead at the moment other than those in the party.
Bug which check for sign of the unquiet dead.
Harika nods as she reads the sign and a few of the others enter the cemetary. For the moment she stays outside.
Ynthar will follow in behind Valoren, humming a tune as he goes. He will adjust the banner on his back, Glaive in hand ready to strike if the needs be.
"I will go up and check for any movement in the area." With that announcement the fiery wings sprout from his shoulders once more and he shoots 120' straight into the air where he then hovers and looks about for any movement.
"Harika figure this place likely has defence against undead going in but it seems the bergaland is inside."
Harika points at the gate. "Axe, take five steps into the graveyard."
As axe enters the graveyard the earth moves and an immense form rises up.
A huge earth elemental forms and takes a swing at Axe slamming a mighty fist at him.
Ax is knocked back 10 feet and falls prone on his back. (awesome blow)
"Bug think Axe not welcome in there."
He goes in watching about for trouble.
Harika grunts. "Full retreat, Axe. Step out of the graveyard, do not retaliate."
Ynthar will lean on his Glaive, letting out a whistle.
"Interesting, want to see if it happens to me?"
Ynthar will then walk up to the gate of the grave yard, Glaive held in his hand with the blade pointing towards the ground.
The elemental allows axe to retreat and doesn't try to stop the living from entering. After a moment if axe doesn't try to enter again it sinks back into the ground.
From his vantage point above, Merius prepares to obliterate the elemental with fire; however, when no one else moves to attack he stops and watches from the safety above. "Feel free to test the waters, Ynthar. I think I will wait until we know it is safe..."
"Well im certainly glad to count among the living." Kardav says as he walks back over to the group.
With Harika's undead guardians stayed outside the graveyard walls you all enter and continue forward to a large mausoleum in the centre. The structure is badly damaged and partially collapsed. The damage seems to be from a earthquake or something similar. The from doors are locked and seem quite solid but you notice a large crack along the building that you can use to enter on the second floor.
Bug will give the place a good looksee
and then climb up if no threats present themselves.
or maybe not.
Ynthar will follow bug,
attempting to climb as well
Harika follows the others, letting the more athletic among them take the lead when it comes time to clamber up to the second story of the mausoleum.
Val begins to scale the weathered wall. Come on all, first there gets bragging rights!
DC 15 cimb check. Make two successful checks to enter the building. Failing by 5 or more on the second check means you fall and take 1d6 damage. Failing the first check simply means you make no progress.
You can take 10.
After to terribly failed attempts at climbing the wall, Merius looks at the crack with a glare.
