[QUOTE="talien, post: 2098758, member: 3285"] [b]Drinking Deeply from the Chalice of Midnight - Part 3b: The Shrine to Cadic[/b] Inside, two large braziers hanging from the ceiling somberly lighted the chamber. A low altar rested on a raised platform against the far western wall. Hanging upon the wall above the altar was an object draped with a long, black velvet cloth. Off to either side of the altar were two small marble basins on three-foot high stands. Quintus slowly lifted the cloth off wall with the tip of his longspear. He unveiled a smooth disc cut and polished from a single block of black malachite. “The symbol of Cadic,” said Ilmarė. “The god of murder,” said Quintus. He gently placed the cloth back over the holy symbol. “What’s in the basins?” asked Vlad, walking over to one and peeking in. “Don’t touch them,” said Quintus. “Looks like water to me,” said Vlad. “Perhaps we should take some…” “Don’t touch it,” said Quintus. “What do you think a god of murder drinks? Mead?” Vlad took a step back. “Good point.” Out of his line of sight, the water roiled with an oily black substance that encompassed both basins. “I make it a point of never drinking from a devil’s basin, especially when we seek to rob him of a prized possession,” said Quintus. “Let’s go.” As they walked back out of the room, Ilmarė said, “It’s a shame you are not willing to test it. It could also be a boon, as a reward to his faithful followers.” As the secret door closed shut behind her, the water in the basins turned crystal clear again. [/QUOTE]
