Printhello looks around at all the treasures one more time, "Too bad. None of my gear is worth nearly as much as any one piece of this... I guess the use of having a buried treasury is up to Torag to decide." Having said he peace, he starts leaving the room to continue exploring.
"Agreed, I've heard of folks being buried with their most precious possessions, but that wasn't supposed to 'help the poor'." Printhello looks at all the treasure laying around then looks at all his "weapons". "We can leave these behind if we want to take something. Not sure if this is an equivalent exchange situation or not though. Beside money, is there anything worth taking?" He then sifts through some of the "treasure" lying around to see if there's anything interesting.
Printhello eyes the opened room with suspicion, "Why would there bit lit torches down here though?" Despite his misgivings, he also starts moving to the lit room to investigate.
Having seen Shaka emerge unscathed, Printhello also enters the room to be judged.
Printhello reads the same message and wonders, "But how might Torag judge someone?" Seeing Shaka standing strong, the gnome backs into the doorway, ready to spring in to action in case Shaka is judged harshly. "Oh, going to see what judged means?! Fascinating!"

"A creative use of the spell to be sure... but it's just a constant cleaning spell keeping the armor clean. But the arrangement seems to be some sort of ward. It's unclear how to bypass it or what the consequences might be if we just walk down the hallway. Anyone know of any rituals or customs of Torag that mimic this?" Printhello doesn't bother to lower his voice at this point, his disappointment at discovering the method of cleanliness is palpable.
Whispering loudly, "What amazing technology... imagine if you could do whatever this armor does but to a whole house! Never have to dust again."
Printhello waits patiently to see what other wonders this crypt might hold.
Having seen enough, Printhello appears to calmly back away from the pit's edge though his commentary gives away his reaction. "Nope nope nope nope. Don't want to go down there. Nothing interesting at all. Just some magma. It's a little toasty in the pit. Would not recommend visitng."
"Huh... Neat! What's in the pit you think?" Printhello, being overly curious, approaches the pit in an attempt to look down. With the sloped floor, he moves inch by inch so as to minimize the slipping risk. He then wills a ball of light into the pit to investigate.
Etay the cat pads along just behind the gnome looking non-interested though her nose is sniffing.
Printhello lets the spell he's been maintaining fade as he looks over the door with interest. "A door like this Must have something interesting behind it right? Here, see if this helps you get it open." The gnome casts a charm to help guide the hands of whomever tries to get it open.
Search is a good activity if you don't want to avoid notice. You don't need anything special to try to find traps. At least not at low level.... usually.
"There's ways to find out if things are magical?!"
Printhello marvels at the fountain. "Something so pretty stuck in this dark place. And still working too!" Society engrossed with the water display, he almost misses the others moving on. Hurriedly, he causes his light to dance over to help the others see.
"Layers of dust in the hallway here and corpses of probable invaders animated to fight again. They present the symbol of a group active when they were alive but the same group is causing problems in the present. What kind of business what your family in Festus?" Not waiting for a response, Printhello continues, "Not going to find any more answers here. Lets check this way!" Printhello starts making his way toward the door indicated by Neppka.
Forensic Acumen: Perform Forensic Examination as in Recall Knowledge Medicine in half the time. If successful, attempt an immediate check to Recall Knowledge to follow up on something found with a +2 circumstance bonus.
"Sometimes, these zombies may have some treasure that's been hiding down in these dusty places. Lets see if that holds true for these! And what's up with the big silvery hammer?"
Printhello packs up his poultices and bandages muttering to himself. "This was much easier when I was practicing on the bodies. Sorry I wasn't much help. I'll work on getting better for the next time." He watches curiously as the fruit changes hands. What kind of food has that kind of power?! Neat! Waiting around for a few moments, seeing if something else decides to happen, Prin speaks up again, "Well as exciting as a group of zombies was, what's next? Were we looking for anything in particular in here"
"Phew, I thought we were in trouble when my magic didn't take them down... But you all handled it!" Printhello looks over the people that were in striking range before exclaiming, "Neppka, you're hurt! Would you like me to take a look at it before we go back to exploring?"
Treat Wounds:
Knowing how to deal with a group of undead, Printhello gathers up a white ball of healing magic before expanding his hands, and the spell with it.
Printhello stands proudly as the light fades though his expression wilts as the zombies are still standing. [b]"At least Shaka's wound should be healed."[/ooc]
Gathering his magic, Printhello lets a little loose to assist Shaka before summoning a divine spear to launch at the undead. Etay glows briefly before transferring the glow to Shaka.
All the nervousness Printhello has been showing at exploring the dark seems to melt away as the unburied dead rise again. "This is something I know about. I've seen the dead rise before. Nasty business."
Confused that the others are concerned about the cat being there, Printhello reassures them, "He'll be fine. If anything happens, he just kinda shows up again. Very strange. Also, when I use some of my powers, he seems to impart some aid as well. I call him Etay. Didn't have a name, seemed good enough. He really seems interested in me in the mornings when I'm preparing magic to use. The rest of the day it's like this. Always nearby but not a care in the world."
Thinking he stands in the same category of Vako, Printhello follows as close as prudent. Strangely, an odd white cat follows him as well, walking like this is the most normal place to be.
Printhello has an idea after they start moving, "Oh! I can light your way! Watch this!" He intones a similar charm to the one that created his personal ball of light except this time, he creates a ball a ways down the hallway.
"Whoah, kinda dark in there... anyone need a ball of light to accompany them?" After offering, he promptly casts the spell for himself, tethering the ball to the space above his head.
"Woah, good thing we didn't get caught up in that. This is quite the trap for a 'family tomb'. Wonder what else is hiding in there."
Printhello nods at the command and scurries off to try to find something with which to help. Unfortunately, he's not very strong and he's already smaller than the others. The log he brings back turns out to be a stick instead. "Maybe my magic will be more help."
Printhello flinches as the crowbar pings off the door and flies to the ground. Seeing brute force isn't working quite yet, he looks for a hidden switch or button or something to stop the door spin.
"Are we going through the spinning door? Sounds... dangerous." Despite his misgivings, Printhello steels his will and readies himself to brave the obstacle.
Not a great situation. Sorry ya'll are having to go through that. My in-laws had a similar event recently with the same results.
While they while away the afternoon, Printhello asks way to many questions about the tomb and the door and the dwarf for which they are doing a service.
Addressing Brodert, "Can you see what you can find out about these shards and where they might be? At least this first one. We kind of don't have any leads other than 'orc script'. We apparently have another task to attend and I would really appreciate it if you could see what you can find."
I can post something when I get home about asking Broderd to see if he can find a lead for us when we return. He has a lot of books. Might be worth while.
"Oh, you're asking me? Well, it doesn't look like the whole Kevin situation is as much a of a 'right now' problem any more. I can come help with checking out this tomb. Is this that locked door you all were talking about before?"
Printhello listens to the story with fascination. He lets his gnomish curiosity take hold, "I was getting bored here anyway. It's an important duty but I'm sure Zantus can handle the fallen and the passed. What's going on with these shards? And besides, I let a hostile agent linger in town right under my nose. I can't just let that go. I need to make it right!."
Printhello shakes his head at the situation. A simple mistake causing an uproar. "Well, now that the panick has been averted... I believe you are familiar with the writing in this. Where'd that scrap get off to now?"
Printhello starts coughing as he tries to put out some flames. Luckily, he avoids the worst of the smoke he creates as a byproduct.
Printhello's eyes go wide at the sight of the blaze. "Oh no! We have to go see if we can help!" He rushes towards the house to see if he can assist anyone trapped in the fire or help extinguish the flames directly.
"Yep, he's fine. It looks like that first trap just knocked him unconscious for a moment. There definitely seems to be more to Kevin than I thought... If it's ok with you all, can I tag along to go talk your friend? I'm very curious about my former assistant and this hobgoblin connection. If you've already tried to warn others of a threat but they didn't listen, we might be on our own to handle it." Prin includes himself in the group unconsciously even though they've only worked together less than a day. Perhaps he feels somewhat responsible for a part of the threat as he didn't notice anything off about Kevin earlier.
Looking up from his patient, glad that he's awake again, Printhello casts a charm to guide Shaka to disable the needle. I guess Kevin wasn't just an acolyte... sorry everyone. I never meant for any of this to happen.
Assuming the others are handling whatever is in the hole, Printhello continues tending to his patient. "Whew, Vako is only asleep. Lets see if this helps..." Standing back, He intones a charm that dumps refreshing water all over the leshy.
"You awake yet?" the gnome asks, hoping the solution is that simple.
Sensing the distress of his master, a small fluffy orange cat appears to rub against the gnomes legs. Absentmindedly, Printhello scratches the top of the cat's head as he monitors Vako's condition.
Printhello scurries to the unconcious leshy to pull them to safety. Or at least away from the hole. "Oh dear oh dear... er, um, I don't see any wounds. Lets see... wake up!"
Printhello gasps as the trap goes off. "Why would he have such a terrible thing hidden in the floor?!"
Non-plussed by his first interaction while on the case, Printhello nods and leads the way back to father Zantus to ask the questions of family. Hopefully the old priest just hadn't thought of those details when first talking about the missing acolyte.
Also surprised by the reaction, Printhello just nods to Neppka and follows his away from the school. "I just don't understand... and that was kinda our only lead. Wait! Maybe Zantus knows if his family! Who mentioned that before? I guess we can go ask."
