[Adventure] The Sibylline Idol (Judge covaithe)

Astrepius. Did you ever translate the runes on the object?

It takes a moment for the sage to realize that you are addressing him. He looks up from his reading and clears his throat, "No I'm afraid that I did not have enough time with it. Rosvodiz brought it to me only once and even then he was hesitant to let me hold it for any lengthy time. As I mentioned a while ago it was a strange greenish-brown metal statue of a demonic looking beind."

"He did try once to describe the chanting that Caput Mortuum had heard deep beneath Daunton. From what I can tell its an ancient form of pre-imperial elvish. Though the linguistic traits point to taints of drow speech. I've not finished translating it because of the odd characteristics of the language and the fact that he brought to me only phonetic approximations to what he heard. But from what I've managed to wring from it so far is that it is a calling ritual and that it is trying to reach a being by the name of Ghul'hadi which is similar to a being called the Waiting Below."

He is a wizard. Best when there are many, less so when there are few. Such is their lot. The warforged verbally shrugs. You know my capabilities, warson. Those that disturb me feel the wrath of hellfire. There is little more than that.

 

[Nebten]

Uh . . . me cut things down wit me axe. Din me hope me dont gets blown up when da fire gets near me gases. But me not too quick, so I just stand der 'n chop.

Me dont think der under da foundry. Tis a holy place to dwa'fs, gang dum to live der.

The evil was already found there once, as the journal evidences. It was not where the dwarves knew it, and they did not sanction it, but it was there nevertheless. Many things we do not wish exist despite us.

"Oh," Dane says meekly as if somebody kicked his kitten right in front of him. After the carriage stops, he hold his head low and quietly follows his party members to the morgue.

"My b-b-blades are qu-qu-quick; as are my f-f-eet." The shifter gives hard eyes toward the wizard, hopefully halting any oncoming comments. "When injured, I b-become the c-c-caged lion, la-lashing out without m-mercy."​

Incarnation shrugs at the dwarf's attitude. Those that were there were made to pay. If there are others there, they will be made to pay.

 

[ukingsken]

Well then it seems the only solid question we've managed to come up with is who killed him. Everything else seems like it should explain itself from there, and remember; everyone pays eventually.

 

[stonegod]

Aand remember; everyone pays eventually.

The fires on the warforged arms flair a moment. Some continue to pay even after.

 

[ukingsken]

Trust me forged, devil bond or no I pay for my choices every day just like the rest.

Vashik's face is contorted with rage as he stares at his withered hands.
