-''What ritual did the priest just complete?'' asks Charina to the others in a low voice. ''Can any of you tell?''

Hergunna grimaces and shakes her head at the priest's clumsiness. She bites her tongue, waiting for Wil to say something nice.
[sblock=ooc]Hergunna level up finally done and submitted...
So, have we actually taken our extended rest yet? I'm wondering mainly because Hergunna's gonna have a dream related to her new power.
Also, I'm leaving for a week's vacation tomorrow evening. I may be able to post a bit, but not counting on it. Does somebody want to run Hergunna while I'm gone?[/sblock]

[sblock=Rest]I don't know that there was time for an extended rest, but I am granted the players the benefit of an extended rest.
Ryry, if you would like, for simplicity sake, to assume we did take an actual extended rest for the purposes of your dream, I'm okay with that. Also, if that's something you need/want me to write up as part of the game, let me know.[/sblock]
The priest scowls at Charina. "You could, at least, show some respect for Netari."

Wil steps between Charina and the priest with his hands up. She meant no offense. My friend here is new to these lands and sometimes her humor does not... translate well. I am Wil Rando and these are my fellows! We heard tell of an accident in the nearby mines and that someone may have been injured and brought here. We wanted to make sure they were all right. Wil sports his best charming, guileless smile.

-''I wasn't obvious enough, huh? I should have added 'leather bikini wearing' to the list I guess.'' Charina says, unrepentant.
Kruk would have roared with laughter at the rogue's wise crack, but not today. Pushing past Charina Kruk invades the poor priest's personal space. "I'm looking for a friend named Greggor." Not giving him a chance to answer, the dwarf presses on. "I heard that you have seen him...Is that true?"
The more Kruk questions the priest, the more angry he becomes. "WE NEED TO KNOW!!"

"Very well," the priest said, still annoyed. However, as Kruk starting asking the questions, he flinched, as if he were fearful of being attacked. His demeanor again became meek. "Uh.. of course, I understand. Many have come through here from the mines, uh, lately. All of them, quite ill. Uh... incapacitated. It is possible your friend is among them. Please, follow me. They beds are, uh, setup in the catecombes. It is the only was we can ensure any infectious ills do not spread among the, uh, congregation. Please, right this way."
Father Niris lead them to the back of the temple, and down a spiral staircase into the dank catacombs. The air reeked of decay, but the area was surprisingly well lit, with sconces every few week along the wall, and a few ceiling light fixtures. The priest stopped at the bottom of the stairs, stepped aside to let the adventurers pass.
"The, uh, ill are located in the back room. I'm afraid one of them passed in the night, and we have not, uh, had the time to perform a proper burial. It may yet be your friend."
As the adventurers moved ahead, the trap was set, and Father Niris did not hesitate to spring it. "ARISE!"
In the four rooms, Zombies pushed aside coffin lids and sprung from under sheets upon the medical tables, one just a few feet from Kruk. Pretense no longer needed, Niris dropped the sheepish priest act and spoke with confidence.
"Your friend is likely dead, and now walking among them as these children are. I'd wager his body is working for my master in Hellview... Just as yours will soon be."

Roll initiative. The NPCs are at 14. If you meet or beat them, take your full action now. If you don't, you can shift up to 3 squares, to correct any mistakes in formation I may have made setting up the board for this first round.
I realize this is a bit of a gotcha move, but tipping off this priest was a consequence of failing the skill challenge.
