After Thaile finishes her prayers, Rowan moves sit next to her and offers her dinner of jerkey and dried fruit since lighting a fire to cook on down here is not really practical.
This whole thing is confusing. I also thought that worshippers of evil gods could control the undead rather than turning them....but then, everyone we know, except for Graystone has said that Kobolds are all, without exception evil. Well, we know that Kobolds are not all evil....they seem to be creatures who want to be left alone to go about their own business.
So, if the goblins worship an evil god, how do they turn undead? I know little of religion, but perhaps only some sects can control the undead.....or perhaps if they were created under the auspices of one god, they can only be controlled by an adherent to the god in whose name they were created?
Of course, this place is ancient. The orcs buried here are the ones who are coming as undead. I think that they are not so much good or evil as committed to a task. What if the undead have risen, not because they were created by an
individual, but because they were charged in life and in death to protect the dragon idol and this place? Perhaps they are guardians of this place and the goblins are defiling it somehow or they seek to protect the place where the idol needs to go back to. We have not been attacked by undead for some time. I thought that the closer we came, the more attacks we would suffer, but the undead have left us alone for the most part......so, perhaps as we come closer to returning the idol to it's rightful place, the undead will attack that which blocks us....it's a thought anyway.
Rowan pats Thaile on the shoulder and moves to her own bedroll, disliking the idea of spending a night underground rather than beneath the stars and sky.
As she drifts off, she wonders about the creature that made the strange tunnels and claw marks above, hoping that it does not come to us in the night and resolving to ask Thaile to speak more of her dreams of skittering clouds and knots that cannot be unravelled.
