Message: <blockquote data-quote="Creamsteak" data-source="post: 4899362" data-attributes="member: 552">The elders are surprised by what you find beyond the stone door. They seem both intrigued and suspicious. "This is where the old priest would go from time to time. It has been a long time since anyone came here though. I did not know such things were kept here, this raises many questions..."Avril:[sblock]The chains are made of cold-iron, a material used to bind creatures of fey-blood and some outsiders. The room itself seems unnaturally cold and dark, even for it's location deep underground.[/sblock]Siobhan:[sblock]This room seems to have religious significance to the goddess of death and magic, Wee-jas. It looks as though this ground was concecrated in her name, and a powerful servant of hers now rests here. The location of this tomb must have been rarely used, however, as there appears to be little sign of recent use. The braziers above appear significant in that they are used for both the ceremony of passing, guiding the soul as it leaves the body, and the ceremony of resurrection, guiding the soul back to the body to reincarnate it in undeath.[/sblock]Tyrla:[sblock]Your keen vision tells you that this place is located on a ley-line between the world and the plane of shadow - another world that exists adjacent to this one.  You can see that all light casts a much darker shadow than it normally would while within the confines of this room.[/sblock]Warren:[sblock]While looking at the stone door from this side, you realize that the doorway was locked from both sides. It also looks like someone tried to pick the lock from the inside of the room at some point in the past. Further inspection reveals that one of the culprits picks was broken off inside of the device. You also find a small area of the northern wall that was mortared into place. With some effort, you might be able to pry the stone loose there.[/sblock]Pender:[sblock]You recognize that the chains are made of cold iron, a material sometimes used to craft weapons that are more effective against certain opponents. The chains are of fair quality. It also seems like this room would be located approximately forty-to-fifty feet below the small graveyard in the north of town.[/sblock]Larian:[sblock]This tomb is at least a few hundred years old, likely predating the village by a fair amount of time. The braziers were forged using techniques that remind you of antiques dating back to the time of the nation of Rhestilor.[/sblock]</blockquote>
