How much time? … I do not seem to recall the passage of time here, I wonder …
The Cleric replies while holding his hand on his sword's hilt. Why am I here? You have no choice but stay here with me and die with me while we wait for the herald of end, yes … that is why I'm here, waiting …
Looking at Miltiades, the insane looking human add You god has no effect in this holy place, no one has and no one will have, your soul will utterly be destroyed and banished to the end of time, lost forever, why don't succumbed to the obelisk and be one with the destroyer for eternity.

Korbryn stands near to the deranged priest, holding his greatsword in his strong, rough hands. The dwarf idly wonders if he could behead the man in a single blow, and the thought brings a grim smile to the dwarf's scarred face.

Miltiades pulls out the unholy symbol they recovered earlier from a cultist and holds it up for the man to see. "Tell me of the obelisk and that which you await. Tell me of the Herald and where the others await him."
Your soul will utterly be destroyed and banished to the end of time, lost forever.
Ithiken looks at The Kid, raises an eyebrow and comments quietly to him under his breath "Isn't doing both at the same time technically an impossibility?"

Without even blinking at the madmans ravings,"Why do we not have any choice left to us? Could we not go back up the way we came?"
"It sounds like you've had quite an ordeal down here," he says, looking at the holy symbol the man is wearing,"were you picked by your fellow priests upstairs to become one with your destroyer? How are you going to succumb to the obelisk? Could you tell me about the archway behind you? Or what holds this pillar upright?"
Korbryn mutters gruffly under his breath. "I'll free yer foul soul right now an' send ye on yer way..."

"Tell me of the obelisk and that which you await. Tell me of the Herald and where the others await him."
What do you take me to be … a fool?!
The man replies and laugh loudly. I will not reveal the plans of the destroyer to you..
He eyes the holy symbol in Miltiades's hand and grins. That is a right path, now put it around your neck and let the great power flow into you, then you will understand, then you can be one with him.
Miltiades knowledge
It is the symbol of the elder elemental eye, but looking around, remembering the obex you realize that something is not right … something else is involved. The symbol of the elder elemental eye is a downward pointing black triangle with an inverted yellow Y within it so that the tips of the figure meet the middle of each side of the triangle.
The obex – an upside down, two step pyramid, the purple and black colors of the obelisk, the squirming tentacles, the great and abiding cold – all are pointing to the most dreaded conclusion, it is the pure destructive force, the conclusive obliteration and utterly evil nihilism of the deity named Tharizdun.
Could it be the herald of end – Miltiades realize in complete horror.

"Bout time," growls Korbryn, moving to intercept the priest before he can reach one of the dwarf's companions. "All yer talkin' weren't doin' me no kindness." He brings his greatsword to bear, slashing sideways at the enemy.

Miltiades, eyes widen in horror at his realization. He drops the symbol to take up his spear resolutely despite his cold shaken limbs. "You serve the Black Sun! Your madness must end." Miltiades moves to flank the man and stab him in the side.
When the priest makes his move, the Kid is ready. He stubmles a bit as he springs into action, but moves to the side to try to find a place to send a dagger.
"Well, how unexpected is this?" The small gnome says to himself, sarcastically. He catches himself daydreaming for a moment, with some effort, he rips himself back into the cold, dark reality.
Lenuran begins a ditty about a hapless farmer who was always dropping his tools...and then points to the Insane Priests shortsword.
As the priest screams in anger and pulls out his weapon to attack the party, Ithiken rolls his eyes and sighs. "Oh good grief!"
He then pulls out his wand of magic missiles and prepares to fire, two force arrows strike the mad priest.
"The end is nigh, nigh nigh" (X10)
The priest repeats the words madly, he draws his sword but tries to reach his hand and touch Miltiades in the face. Miltiades thrust his spear in defense but misses. The priest lays his filthy hand on Rao's cleric face for a second, a second that proves to be critical as his cold touch burns Miltiades flesh, Miltiades fights against the evil feeling that tries to cloud his mind and prevail.
Miltiades then back and thrust his spear once more, but he nails the spear in the ground, the hit causes him to shake and lose his grip on the spear which falls on the ground.
"Bout time," growls Korbryn, moving to intercept the priest before he can reach one of the dwarf's companions. "All yer talkin' weren't doin' me no kindness." He brings his greatsword to bear, slashing sideways at the enemy. The winter coat, ochre robes and Full plate are thick enough from this blow to penetrate, although the dwarf's sword tears he robes and coat.
When the priest makes his move, the Kid is ready. He stubmle a bit as he springs into action, but moves to the side to try to find a place to send a dagger. The dagger finds his spot and cuts the Priest's nape deep enough to cause the priest to shout in panic.

"Somebody shut this guy up please!" Ithiken moans in exasperation. He takes a few steps back to keep himself out of harm's way, then blasts the priest with his wand again.
Korbryn frowns as his blade slides off the deranged priest's heavy armor. The dwarf was unaccustomed to not drawing blood with every strike. Relaxing his grip slightly on his greatsword, Korbryn brings the blade back around for another powerful slash!

The magical attack were all you need, the Priest falls on his back, dead, crushed from the inside as the bolts of force strikes his chest.

Then all is silent but the flowing water of the waterfall.

Korbryn pulls up on his swing, stopping his blade as the priest tumbles to the ground. The dwarf walks up to the body and kicks it hard in the head, just to be sure the cleric is dead.

Kobryrn assumes his ever vigilant "guard" position, guessing that The Kid and Ithiken will want to search the nearby corpses, as well as the chamber itself.

The Kid kneels over the priest, casually wiping its blood of his dagger. As he begins his search of the corpses, he asks, "Something's off about this place. The air magical or something? Those marks on the floor and walls mean something to someone."
OOC: Take 20 search on bodies, then on anything he's directed to (symbols, pillar, etc.)
