"That was... strange," Growl comments. He then shares with the others, "There were herbs meant to cause euphoria burnt here recently."

"Well, perhapsss thisss 'Master' needsss more than jussst hisss own powersss to control hisss victimsss?" muses Skalisss.

The ghostly figure alarms him. "It isss time to go. Where ssshould we look? The prisssioner we took sssaid that bodiesss are being dumped Hyann the Gnoll'sss old hideout on Crow ssstreet, we could ssstart there. The prisioner'sss brother is named Kyran, we could asssk around to locate him."

//Just a quick note to remind you all that you haven't had that extended rest, so haven't gained your XP yet, and it's roughly 11pm Daunton time. And there are still three more orphans to be found, not to mention your wayward party member.//

Ceryx racks his brain thinking of any religion significance to the "nine headed serpant". As he thinks, he says to his companions, "Well, it seems our drow friend has gotten herself into trouble. Perhaps we should look for this nine headed serpent tomorrow when there's more light out. I think it best that we head somewhere for a good night's sleep. It will only look suspicious to townsfolk to have grown men wandering the streets at night looking for children. As well, I am heavily exhausted from the battle earlier today and the running around tonight."

[sblock]It won't be 6 hours I'm afraid, but Mikara will take her extended rest at the same time as the rest of the party.[/sblock]

The only religious significance that Ceryx can think of is a small cult from the Valley of Bones called the brothers of the nine faces, a small benign sect that worships the hydra. Not helpful information in its self, but the image of a hydra throws up a memory of the old run down fountain near the entrance to the Overgrowth where the group have found themselves stood pondering a few times now.

Ceryx seems to break down slightly as he finishes his sentence. "Or maybe she's..." and without much more warning, Ceryx charges out of the temple. "Follow me!" he cries on his way towards the fountain.

//Nobody trying for that arcana check before you leave?//

Arcana check (1d20+1=16)
Skalisss isn't quite able to piece together any details about the ritual or alchemy that was used in the brazer.

OOC: anybody got an assist?


Religion Check (1d20+6=23)
Skalisss, however, may know more about the Hydra reference if it is religious in nature...

 

[Fragsie]

Although Skalisss is able to drudge up numerous references to the hydra from religious texts that he has read; most involve the hydra being seen as a symbol of the resilience of evil or the fact that the gods may take on any number of faces and names, nothing that he thinks of seems to have much relevance to what this group is up to.

//The arcana check isn't to do with the braziers!//

Skalisss hustles out the door behind Ceryx.
