"I would like to take a look there an make sure nothing is lurking."
"Best if I come with you," Caydee volunteers.
Gather round!
After I finish my doctoring tasks, I'm going to use zero level spells light and detect magic and check the gear of the twice dead.
Most of the dead body belongings have been destroyed in the two previous fights. You can still find some usable metal weapons: 1 light mace, 2 longwords, 2 battleaxes, two rings that looks magical and 92 GP.
Also, I am going to attempt to get Karrg's attention and motion him to come to me. If that all works, when he gets to me I am going to cast comprehend languages to help the exchange, and try to talk to him some.I am going to talk to him about the oath we have with his father, explain my understanding and check that he knows about it and how he understands it.
I am also going to explain to him my views on this combat just ended - that these were unnatural enemies who needed to be killed. And that their gear will help us continue to survive and make the world a better place.
And, I talk to him about such things as being as close as is comfortable for him to the camp, and about our upcoming language lessons. I am also going to work on learnign his language (for which I will put a point into linguistics when we level, assuming it is ok with the DM at the time).
Once you get to the next level, Karg will have learnt the bases of common if you take time to teach. That should give him a point in linguistics(common).
You spot Kaarg looking down at the fight but he does not seem to want to go down the ravine you're in. The ideas you want to convey too him are too complex for now. you'll have to start with simple words.
Caydee retrieves her lamp and sees if it's still usable.
Your lamp is broken and you'll need repair at 1/4th of the original visit.
As far as magic stuff whoever gets the most benefit, should get the item at least for now....
"Karrg COME!"
"Come."
Caydee retrieves her lamp and sees if it's still usable.Your lamp is broken and you'll need repair at 1/4th of the original visit.
"That sounds like a good idea," Caydee agrees with Ahz.

Spellcraft check #1: 1d20+6
Spellcraft check #2: 1d20+6Nice of the ring makers to leave a note inside the rings detailing what they do :)
The first ring is a ring of protection +1, the second a ring of feather fall.
Caydee looks over the mundane gear with a critical eye. "No, I think I'm well enough armed with what I've got. And I don't like lugging stuff around."
"Give it tah the ones whos fer needin it!
"Tha ring tha stops yah from fallin should be fer tha one leadin tha way."
Vardara smiles at the friendly banter. "I will make good use of this ring." Her tone is more grave when she looks at the corpses: "But before we go, we should at least give these men the proper rites. I do not want them to rise again."
Caydee tries to glare at Ahz but just ends up grinning along with everyone else, accepting the ring and slipping it onto her hand. "I agree," she says, looking down at the corpses, feeling more subdued. "But I don't know any of the rites."
"A big fire should be enough to warm these bones an keep em from rising again."
"A pyre would work, but I don't exactly see many trees around here."
"Me an mah big mouth....I'd rather makem intah little pieces!"
"I could help with moving them," Caydee volunteers, despite a faint look od distaste when she glances down at the corpses. "Fubar, might that be sort of... sacriligious? I mean, they did try to dismember us, but still..."
"All I ever heard o monsters an undead creatures is tha parts needs tah be parts to be put back together by evil magics.....jus figured if tha parts was small enough....."
Does my initial knowledge religion check (24 vs DC 11) tell me enough that I know if this secondary death is permanent or if they might come back, again?
In the state they are, it is unlikely that they will rise again. From what you know, the best way to deal with that in the ice and snow is to remove the head and say proper prayers to the monarch of winter for their souls to be taken by him.
"And I don't see any evil sorcerers here, either."
"I will offer a silrnt prayer to my diety for these."
"It is good to have priorities!"
;)
"Do not worry Ahz, if we cut their heads and pray for the monarch, he will keep their souls and bodies safe. I know these prayers, my master taught them to me."
Once the cadavers head are properly cut, Vardara aligns the bodies and heads and lead a small prayer to her god.
Barring any other grand ideas or such, off with their heads! if any are still attached, and I will help the paladin types in giving whatever blessing I can think of.
I then turn and walk away and try to find the nearest way out of this crevice.
Is it ok if we explore here later guys? I take that oath fairly seriously, and would prefer to get that taken care of first.
From the cavern, a great number of tracks emerge, leading to a ramp in the canyon wall, where something heavy has been dragged. This ramp leads to the surface and you can easily escape the crevice.
"Aye look a way out seems we ave been in this cold crack fer way too long...."
If we are in agreement then, lets get out of here, and try to remember how best to get back here. Though Karrg will probably know.
Ahz moves toward the ramp. If Karrg is not yet with them, he will motion to Karrg to join them when they reach the top of the ramp.
As the group walks up the ramp, you are awaited by a white shape. While Kaarg does not want to join you down the crevice, he is ready to follow you out in the open.
Caydee takes her customary point position. "Off on a quest!" She seems very happy to have a definite goal for now.
"Yer saying it like we havent been onna quest fer all these long days...."
"A quest? A search for a possible item that we don't know how it will really help us. This, is success or failure. Simple, barring snowstorms or monsters or other exciting stuff."
"Not so sure Karrg's learnin much o anything inna language department."
Varadar also tries to bring her experience to bear.

"Survi...what?"
