A Merc's Life: Howl of the Carrion King [02]

[Scott DeWar]

Harnrey, being the squishy (an ax wielding squishy, but a squishy none the less) will take the center. He draws a sunrod and smacks the crystal head on a wall and raises it like a torch.

Houwlou Groulenas

Tsadok will take a lead posistion next to any other member that cares to be by his side up front, maybe Keeland since he is an archer?

To Tsdok, Houwlou says, "If you want to walk by my side as I lead, that's fine, I'd be glad for the company."

The mighty Olcán Ranger and the strapping young trapfinder lead the way down the creepy underground passage, and reach an intersection in short order. An eerie silence pervades this cool subterranean funerary network, which must contain the bodies of scores—if not hundreds—of honored worshipers of Sarenrae in shallow niches carved into the walls of the east-west passages. Many of these skeletal remains have been roughly tossed from their niches, and countless bones and skulls line the floor.

[sblock=OOC]I did not put all the bones on the map - just scattered some about to give the idea. The places I put them are areas where they are most concentrated. In any case, they're not showing up very well so you have to look closely.

Because it makes it much simpler, I assumed Aodhán would describe what he sees past the radius of Harnry's sunrod . . .[/sblock]

Houwlou stalks along next to the rogue, letting him choose their path.

"Did I mention that I particularly hate the undead?"

"Creepy"

OOC - Mike, I don't have any idea why there would be Serenrae worshiper's bones here. Would Tsadok understand this? Is it a ritual? Are there any markings with names of those were are seeing? Does it seem like maybe it was just looted for valuables buried with these followers?

OOC:

This is the crypt for the monastery above - the monks were entombed here when they died. The condition of the bones makes it clear that they have been disturbed and most likely looted. (Y'all might want to look around a bit though; the looters may have missed something )

Tsadok

As the group moves through the bones, Tsadok will share what he knows about those that ran this temple were most likely buried here.

OOC - does it seem odd the number of bones? How long has this temple been around?

OOC: Story Arc Clues

The monastery has been around for hundreds of years. From the carvings/statues and the state of the stuff you've found, you figure it's been 20 or 30 years since the monks were driven out.

"Bah, don't worry about them undead, I'll keep you safe" Aodhán jokes

[Scott DeWar]

Harnrey will close his eyes briefly and concentrate on his inner sight, then opening his eys he will see what he can 'see'.

(casting detect magic at this time, looking at each alcove for one round.)
