[QUOTE="Aangord, post: 3031919, member: 42016"] Sudden darkness, Temple of Pelor This morning after our succesfull defensive of the city repelling the hordes of the Cult, we where called to the the temple. Well morning is actually not the correct word, with this unnatural solar eclipse darkening the skies. Thankfully my keen elven eyes let me function quite normally in this darkness. The humans seem to cope quite well with the darkness lanterns adorning everything. Their morale however is even now after the victory slacking, the perpetual gloom heavy on everyone’s heart. As I and my female companions arrived at the temple from our employer Merimac’s Investigation Company, we where guided to the head priest. He presided a meeting for us with the Oracle, a divine agent of the sun god. An angel appeared in a globe of tranquil light. We where chosen to disperse this unnatural darkness as the champions of light. From a jar of coloured beads several strings appeared. My companions where stymied by its meaning. However I could clearly make out groupings and a pattern, obviously my magical training and keen intellect gave me at least some understanding. Apparently to solve the message we would have to find seven keys at seven locations. No wonder my comrades did not understand, a messages encoded seven times over, the ways of the divine really are not for mortals to grasp. The head priest then took us deep into the catacombs of the temple. Finally we arrived at a portal room of some kind, seven stone lintels where carved in the wall. “There will be no returning through the portal once you step through” the human told us as he activated the first doorway. Always eager Lena immediately plunged in head first. Shaking her head at the hasty human, Shandra, our elven scout went after her. A’sienneira, the half elven paladin of Heironious, Oleanna (also a female half elf) a druid and I had enough common sense to hear out the remaining words. “Restore the altar and cleanse any evil you can find and you will be able to return.” I really do not like the idea of stepping into a place where you cannot get out of. Especially considering that my magical studies are as of yet not advanced enough to get us out with magic should the need arise. [/QUOTE]
