Rhen ignores the raucous and heads directly to Festia. "Lady Ziera ask dat ye bring Seldlron to de room. I be gettin 'im fer ye." He then heads to the logger's table where he tells Seldlron of Ziera's sacrifice and last wishes. The large brawny man is obviously pained by the news. His expression goes from pain to anger to stoic.
As Falcon's Hollow appears on the horizon, Rhen groans "Arggg. I be dreadin dis. How we gonna break it to de lass? Ifn she be at de sittin ducks we cants tell er der. She gonna know when der be no Ziera wit us."
"I heared of it way back, I did. Jess fergot dee name. I tink I could do it likes master Cailean wit enough ale on hand. Speakin o which, I sure could use one bout now. I ain't sleepin anytime soon. Mind ifs I take dee first watch?"
"Ye do seems to be a driftiner. What be dis Startstone Cathedeal?"
"I tink I be headed on to Five Kings Mountains. Dat be where I was headin when Falcon's Holler be offerin rewards. Gots enough gold and supplies to get me deyr metinks. What about ye? What ye be doin nex? Stayin here ye are?"
"I gets dee fire up fer ye." Rhen ties up his pony and begins foraging for wood.
"I be givin it to dee church lady, Niu. Does at dee Academies cain't be trusted. Prolly where he gots it in dee first place."
Rhen remains with Ziera a few extra minutes and is the last to exit the tunnel. He turns to the tunnel an yells "Clear!" As he mounts his pony you hear the whack of a sword against wood. Rhen turns his pony to face the tunnel. Eventually you hear, see, and feel the tunnel collapse. Rhen moves his pony closer and inspects the collapse. Apparently it suits him. Without a word or even a glance to his allies, he heads down the path toward the great dark woods.
"Now dat we aint no gouls we best be leavin dis tainted place. Still gotta bring er down so no one can get close again. Way back where it was dropped and dug out is where we needs to do it. One of us aint comin home. Gots to be done"
Rhen pokes his shortswort in Niu's direction. "Nah, I be hungry fer a sand witch."
"Looks like ye did it, Niu. Dat Tar not be scaping from here."
"Let's do it."
"We gots to collapse it, friend. Ain't no option there. I know where and how but it gonna take a life fer sure."
"I be not afraid of no dyin. We be facin that most days. Bein undead, now that be sometin else......A good plan it be, masta Niu. On de town ifn we goes undead. On us ifn we be heroes anotter time. I be in. Ziera, Ranok, you ins?"
"Dat be good, Niu. How much help ye need? We gots to move them parts a pushin?"
"'ows de wife? Still got ye by de ring? Guessin ye ain't been to no more bacchanals? Reckon ye learned yer lesson, hhahahaha. C'mon join us."
When Rhen exits the dwarven monastery, he sees the campsite Festia has set up. He politely admires the place noting a Coffee Pot, 2 weeks feed(2 horses), 2 weeks rations(2 people),1 bottle of Fine wine, 1 lb Coffee, ½ lb Tea. "Oh my girl, ye got it goin on, ye do. I be addin venison to dis soon nuff." He heads into the dark forest. When back with fresh meat, Rhen sets up at the camp and over the next few days will take food, water, and whatever the Paladin may need as she stays by Niu's side.
As Rhen watches Niu enter another reality, he decides to do some hunting. "I be yearnin fer some fresh meat, Anyone care tuh join?"
"I gots me 3 days on rations and it be 2 days to town. Huntin not me best ting tuh do. I can get by."
Dis be too much fer me. Arggh. We wents to town an nuttin to bring down de tunnels."
Rhen returns to the chalk markings on the wall, floor, and broken seal. "I be tinkin dis be him figurin out how tuh breaks it."
Rhen inspects the spellbook for traps.
"Jest mumbo jumbo in dis." Rhen hands the book to Niu. He then begins inspecting the chalk marks and drawings on the seal and the walls and the floor.
Rhen moves over and searches the items the undead necro carried. He first inspects the tome labeled "Whispers of The Immortal".
"Bye-bye."
"Ye smelly tings!"
He drops the ghoul and takes a five foot step.
Niu sees most of the ghouls, Rhen sees them all. "We gots 3 plus 3 o dem ghouls."
Rhen moves into the doorway.
Rhen quickly pokes his head around the corner for a look. "He be gettin more recruits. See two o dem ghouls. Might be more."
"What be dee plan? We gots a plan? We needs a plan methinks. Zi, you gots dat boom fer all undeads don't ye. Why you not be doin dat?"
"I hears im. still be preachin."
"I got me own pony now, sheriff. Won't be needin dat white one with all the ribbons no more. Belongin to yer daughter and such."
Rhen comes huffing and puffing down the street. "I gots me three plus one shots at 'im. Got to rig it so I can fire em all real quick like."
"I needs more rope. I might miss him a time or two. Be right back."
Rhen returns from low-market with what he thinks will bring down the necro. "I be ready to face 'im now." He holds up a barbed arrow. "I gots twenty but only needs one."
"Hold up der Z. We be comin right back. Keep thisun camp goin. We be right back."
As Rhen steps into the water he says "Nevuh learnt to swims." before disappearing into the pool. He walks across the bottom to the other side.
"No no no. I be fine. Whateer it wuz I shaked it. I see dat rope Ziera came down on still hangin der."
"When I wuz a child, I had ghoul fever. Me hands felt just like two balloons."
Rhen takes out the map he made of this level. "That door there. That be a chokin point."
Rhen has taken you to the top of the stairway that leads to the lowest level. Hand on chin, looking up and down. "This here pillar is holdin dat keystone deyer. Dat keystone hold the wall and the ceilin in there. We take dis out, she give way. Some o dat wall above it liken to come down too. Be dangerous work. Won't be no returnin fer him neither."
"Aye and we can be lockin him with doors maybe too. Do undead folk need ta be eatin? He gonna die er juss move a rock a time tills eternities?" Rhen peeks around the corner not trusting Ranok to retreat.
"Aye, aye. Me saw weak spots comin in. I gots eyes fer that kind o work ye know. We can bring this place down we can." Noting Niu's study, Rhen says "Ceilin fine here."
Rhen looses an arrow from his shortbow. He misses again.
I might could spare a few fer ya
I can beat that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApBFTrU0K8w
Rhen steps into the corridor still protecting Niu. He readies a shot should the necro enter his sights. (×3)
Rhen tells Niu "Might be nuttin, might be sometin. When he flewed over me I seed the name on dat book he got. 'Whispers of the Immortal' it be. Lookin real old too."
Rhen fires a parting shot while missing again and joins Niu. "We needs ranged on this one and we ain't got it."
