As Quan returns with Lerrick from the portal, the cleric shouts
Lerrick! Come...come quickly!
The cleric hobbles forward and gently grabs Lerrick by the arm. The girl doesn't resist. She seams to be in a daze. Suddenly Lerrick screams and places her hands on her forehead.
It...it burns! (referring to the mark). Tears start to flow from her eyes as she is in obvious pain.
Come! Follow me! The cleric leads the party through a series of corridors to room. It is clear based on the amount of debris scattered over the floor that there was a battle here. Broken furniture and papers litter the floor. Acid eats away at a tapestry on the wall. Another wall contains the dark scorched mark of a fireball. Bodies of dragonborns and lay scattered across the floor.
In the center of the room is an alter with a a plump dwarf in bloodied robes busy making preparations for the ritual. As soon as the party enters he looks up.
Ah yes...you're here. Come...come...I am ready. He motions for Nementah and Quan to bring the girl over to the alter. Lerrick then lays on the alter, still clutching her forehead. After receiving the ritual components from Skalisss he systematically removes them from the bag and places them on the alter. He then reaches for the last component when he grabs the metal orb.
Brother Buchta gasps loudly as he stares at the orb as if he he was stunned. After taking a deep breath he turns to Skalisss.
WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS!
Before the paladin can reply the cleric states.
No...tell me later after the ritual is complete. He then starts to begin the ritual. This will take some time. I can't be interrupted during the ritual. Please barricade the south entrance from which you came and then stand guard from the cave entrance as we have no door there. I will begin now. The cleric places his hand over Lerricks forehead and begins to chant. Light begins to emit from the ritual components. Soon the alter begins to glow...

Please position yourself anywhere in the room. I'll assume you have weapons draw and in guarded position. As soon as everyone has positioned themselves the encounter will continue. There are those who really don't want the ritual to take place as you will soon find out.
