After listening to some of the reactions to Volyanna's information, he now spoke, "Before you make your final decisions, I have more information to reveal, and a useful gift. I will start with the latter."He produced a wooden box with a brass latch, which he opened, revealing four disk-shaped stones, painted with arcane runes. "These are four Sending Stones. They can be used to communicate between myself, and up to three others. In addition, they have been enhanced, so that with a short ritual, we can use them to move objects, and with more effort, people, to or from our Camp Circle. It can't be used quickly, or often, but we may be able to get everyone out, or send reinforcements, under the right circumstances."[ATTACH=full]409323[/ATTACH]He closed his eyes to focus his thoughts, and when he opened them, he continued, "Now, the reason I think that you may chose to split into more than one company: It is not quite as simple a matter as locating the Diamond Staff, contacting me, and teleporting out with it. We have reason to believe that the Staff is in the Temple's most inner Vault - a room that is protected by four Wards. To deactivate each ward, you must retrieve an Idol of Bhaal and place it in its niche near the Vault Door."He waited for the sighs to die down (no Adventurer enjoyed much fetching, but it came with the job) and then continued, "The Idols cannot be more than a thousand feet from the door, or they lose their connection and crumble, so they must be somewhere within the area. Too keep the Vault sealed, the Cult will have spread them out. They must be found. Being dedicated to Bhaal, they are crude depictions of heinous acts of murder, of course. Little statues of around twenty pounds in marble."Volyanna added, "It will likely be faster to find them in smaller groups."Loklafd lifted a kayak from under a tarp near his tent and said, "I have made very sturdy watercraft! Are you all sure you do not want to try for the lake?"He was disappointed, but not so much as to be unfriendly. It was up to them, in the end.</blockquote>
