Toriah notices that the purple veins move close to him when his body comes near the obelisk. Toriah also notices that the purple veins do not actually enter the tip of the obelisk that interacts with the stone column, almost as if the tip is somehow different from the rest of the obelisk and the purple veins can not move there.
The cultist responds to Dalamar, "Young acolyte, there are many mysteries you will encounter in the service of the Master. In time, you will grow in your understanding, and all will be revealed to you."

"Uh... Thanks, I guess that was helpful."
Kerwyn says, not one bit smarter than he was before getting the answer.
"So, seeing as I'm a total beginner in this acolyte stuff, could you give me the basic rundown of what we're doing down here instead of someplace sunny and warm and with good food, Master?"

Toriah can't tell if its different or how it is joined. (what is Toriah using for a light source?)
The cultist responds to Kerwyn's query, "It is normal for the old to give the young orders without explaining themselves. However, today is a good day, and I am happy to explain our purpose.
"As you will recall, we came here under the leadership of Master Thaque. However, when the Dragon attacked, instead of fleeing, Thaque insanely attacked the Dragon and was eaten.
"With Thaque dead, I am now in charge of the expedition. Our mission is to explore these ancient ruins and look for clues."

Toriah climbs back down the rungs and says to the others, "It's pretty funny, this stone thin'. You shoul' maybe go check i' ou'."
[He's using ambient light, i.e., from torches others are holding, if any. If there is none, then he didn't climb up. He also has no skill whatsoever with stone or masonry, just checking it for curiosity's sake.]

The cultist smiles, "Clues to the Secrets of the Ancients, of course. Our forefathers knew many mysteries which they neglected to share with us. So we must find out the hard way, by searching out their abandoned places and finding what they left behind.
"I could not create an Obelisk like this, so perfectly balanced. I do not even have a clue how they did it. Not even our Master of the Temple could create this place. But there are clues here, clues to recovering the skills and powers our ancestors had."
Toriah had enough light from torches and lanterns to see what he could.

Lenya
Lenya sits down on the opposite side of the cavern, out of sight of the cultist, and waits for Kerwyn to finish his conversation, hoping, that he gains some insight into the purpose of this dark place... and that he will not succumb to its vileness, while he does. Her fingers absentmindedly run over the medaillon worn around her neck, the one her mother gave her, when she left.
