The carriage pulls up in front of a squat stone building outside the crypt on the far edge of Daunton. The crypt and graveyard having been built on the bluff outside town. The stone building is marked as a funeral parlor. Astrepius leads the group around to a side entrance that heads down stairs. The stone walls are cold to the touch and brightly lit by magical flames running in a little inset groove the length of the stairs. At the bottom a clerk at a small desk greets you. Astrepius provides her with the information on Rosvodiz and answers a few basic questions on why they are there then signs his name painstakingly in perfect handwriting.
"Please indicate your mark here beneath the Professor's." says the clerk to each of you before directing you to have a seat. "A room will be prepared with the deceased. Do you have need of any ritual components?" she says following the procedures that the morgue has for those interrupted while waiting to be interred.
"No that won't be necessary, thank you." replies Astrepius, having a scroll handy.
After about 15 minutes waiting patiently in the cold lounge, the group is directed to a small room down a short hallway to the left. The clerk opens the door and allows the group of 6 to enter. A small stone shelf on the far end of the room holds the body of a preserved shifter. He has been composed probably with the subtle use of magic for viewing.
"Here is the scroll. Would any amongst you prefer to conduct the ritual?" asks Astrepius.

[sblock=ooc] I thought so but dont have my books with me right now to check since I'm at work. Good thing I chose the sarcasm option [/sblock]
Let me see the scroll, my knowledge is more then sufficient.
Frustrated with the inaction Vashik snatches the scroll from the sages hands.

The shifter enters the crypt/parlor with the others. He didn't like it, but the scholar insisted. Rurdev didn't like being this close to the dead. They made him uneasy, they always did. His mother, dealt with the undead on occasion. That was another of her sins.
They stood over the body of his relative, his clanmate. He says a quick prayer over the body. A rite he had learned to keep it from standing once again. He jumped, a rarity, when the lips of his ancestor moved in reply to their question.

With the scroll in hand Vashik reads through it, stumbling in a few places but generally getting the ritual right. With knowledge of it, perhaps in the future he will be able to scribe it for himself. Rosvodiz' body remains still and cold but a thin white mist begins to manifest atop it. The mist coalesces into the shifters form and sits up. "What madness summons me back from Lauto's realm."
ooc: Skill Challenge time. We'll go with an easy skill challenge so thats 4 successes before 3 failures. You get one question out of the religion roll, but how good an answer you get depends on the results of challenge. Key skills are diplomacy, history, religion, and streetwise. Secondary skills are insight, perception, and bluff. Other creative uses of skill rolls may offer bonuses etc. Initiative is in post order so everyone throw an idea together and post it I doubt this will take more than 1 round of posts.

Rurdev gasps as the corpse of his kinsmen sits up. The shifter, using his clansmen's manner of speech, listen's to the clues the corpse may give.
