Kaya doesn't see anything that needs fixing. If anything this room looks incomplete.
Telka doesn't find anything unusual. The dwarf determines that it's set up for future expansion though.

Kaya suggests, "well, monuments do often tend to go unfinished. We should definitely tell the tribes about this section. Maybe they'll wish to do something about it or call in pathfinder historians to see if they can help. But, I'd say nothing we can do for now."
She moves back out into the circular room and stands ready by the next door, "some hallways next, then a smaller room. Notes claim it to have just been empty. Then the room with the water that was later missing. Probably need to figure out what he did to make that go away. But, one thing at a time. Doors, hallways, next small room."
Kaya leads the way, coming to a small room which does, in fact, seem completely empty. It's devoid of any markings, likely a staging room more than anything else.

Ironshanks looks around the room with the boneslayer statues with the others before nodding and continuing on to the south most doorway.
"At least he didn't hack off any arms from them statues." Or take a dump in the corner. The walking iron golem moves into the newest room eyes open, shield in hand.
Ironshanks feels some relief. He confirms that nothing untoward happened in either place, and there's nothing for the Pathfinder team to do in them.
Sir Ninn back tracks a bit and scans the area. Thankfully the gnome finds nothing of evil.
A recess in the floor seems to have once contained water but is now empty. A plaque sits on a stone shrine to the south, with two shallow indents flanking it on either side, carved out of the stone. At each of the four corners of this room are steles depicting Shoanti warriors in battle stances.

Ironshanks shuffles his way inside, looking around warily "So yer sayin' this place down here was full of water before? Seems like fer once our little agent did the place a favor... drained out that little death trap!"
He moves around giving the place the eyeball as he tries to figure out what a stele is exactly.

Kaya moves on in and attempts to discern why there may not be water here anymore, "now now Ironshanks, just because you don't like water, doesn't mean there isn't some cultural reason it was here. We need to figure out if it should be brought back... plus look how shallow it would be, you aren't scared of it now that you know that now, right?"
She glances over at the human, "oh good call!" Pulling up the notes she reads through them a second and then remarks, "okay, looks like he stole the four wooden weapons from this room. We just need to figure out where they all go."
She inspects the plaque and looks for writing. If there is, but it is not a language she knows, she will use her magic pearl to re-activate her comprehend languages spell .

At the mention of water Telka pokes his head into the room. Water, I love water, I could really do with a bath after those smelly ogres but I suppose its probably not a good idea on the Shoant's sacred site. I could maybe refill the pool with create water if we thought that was a good idea but it would have to wait until tomorrow.
The party looks about the room. The steles obviously show warriors in action, and each has a different weapon in hand. The weapons match those given to you by the venture-captain.
As people gather round Telka to replace the weapons, Telka and Ironshanks hear the sounds of splashing water and battle!
This room is haunted!
Telka and Ironshanks get a surprise action!
|

The room fills with ghostly, faceless soldiers screaming
and streaming toward all of you. Half stand on offense, bearing the flag and insignia of Cheliax. The other half, the Sklar-Quah, are weaponless and desperate, constantly cut down only to rise again. The Chelish figures also target you! You try to move, and the floor feels like sucking mud and boggy undergrowth on the banks of a river.
This is not a normal haunt. Positive energy won't work! You'll need to undo the travesty and reset the weapons!
The ground is Difficult Terrain!

Ironshanks flips up his visor as he hears Ninn hollering at him over the combat "Head to the far statue so you can throw an earthbreaker at me? I'd like ta see ya try, them things are heavy!" He chuckles at his sorry excuse for a joke and slowly slogs his way towards the far southwest pedestal. He drops his axe when he gets there.
"Waitin' on you kid." He stands as ghostly blades clang off his iron carapace.
Telka preps for the worst of the haunt, moving with ease. He immediately places the klar, and the spirits seem ever more ephemeral!

Pavo grabs hold of the earth breaker and pulls it from the bag which isn't big enough to hold it in the first place. Sir Ninn, lacking a weapon to place and unwilling to abandon his teammates hunkers down, ready to take the blows from the disquiet spirits!
