However, as Kruk starting asking the questions, he flinched, as if he were fearful of being attacked. His demeanor again became meek. "Uh.. of course, I understand. Many have come through here from the mines, uh, lately. All of them, quite ill. Uh... incapacitated. It is possible your friend is among them. Please, follow me. They beds are, uh, setup in the catecombes. It is the only was we can ensure any infectious ills do not spread among the, uh, congregation. Please, right this way."Father Niris lead them to the back of the temple, and down a spiral staircase into the dank catacombs. The air reeked of decay, but the area was surprisingly well lit, with sconces every few week along the wall, and a few ceiling light fixtures. The priest stopped at the bottom of the stairs, stepped aside to let the adventurers pass. "The, uh, ill are located in the back room. I'm afraid one of them passed in the night, and we have not, uh, had the time to perform a proper burial. It may yet be your friend."As the adventurers moved ahead, the trap was set, and Father Niris did not hesitate to spring it. "ARISE!"In the four rooms, Zombies pushed aside coffin lids and sprung from under sheets upon the medical tables, one just a few feet from Kruk. Pretense no longer needed, Niris dropped the sheepish priest act and spoke with confidence. "Your friend is likely dead, and now walking among them as these children are. I'd wager his body is working for my master in Hellview... Just as yours will soon be."[sblock=Mechanics]     NPCs use surprise round to get up.

The NPCs are at 14. If you meet or beat them, take your full action now. If you don't, you can shift up to 3 squares, to correct any mistakes in formation I may have made setting up the board for this first round. I realize this is a bit of a gotcha move, but tipping off this priest was a consequence of failing the skill challenge. [/sblock]</blockquote>
