[QUOTE="ENygma93, post: 7597700, member: 6994223"] The lithe adventurers cleared the spike pit without a problem and proceeded to discuss the best course of action regarding the stone sarcophagus that laid in front of them. Artin argued that they should leave the sarcophagus alone, as it was held closed by four latches the being held within was likely to be more dangerous than they could handle. Wisdom was outvoted in this instance and Brallin, Elaria, Bleys and Artin each successfully broke a latch that held the lid closed. The troupe decided to attempt to slide the lid off of the sarcophagus slightly, to view but hopefully not wake whatever was being held inside. As soon as the lid was slid open by more than 1ft a green light emanated from within the sarcophagus and the lid was violently pushed off by the being. A tall Dragonpriest stood silently, looming over the group of adventurers. Looking disdainfully at them he asked, “And what can I do for you?” The group were taken aback and started discussing amongst themselves whether they should immediately attack the Dragonpriest. Gramps was especially in favour of attacking the Dragonpriest and cutting his hands off, to avoid any use of magic during the scuffle. The Dragonpriest had little patience for this and simply said, “That would be unwise” The group decided to engage the Dragonpriest in a discussion to try to gain any information he knew about the Citadel, and hopefully Erky Timbers. They discovered that L’kira (Dragonpriest) had been an important member of the Cult of Ashardalon, the Dragonpriest had displeased his god (Ashardalon) and had been punished, this involved the collapse of the cult and the ruining of the Citadel. L’kira refused to elaborate further on what he had done to enrage the Dragon. The group queried L’kira on Erky Timbers, however unfortunately L’kira had been asleep within the sarcophagus and was unaware of any events that had transpired since he was forsaken. He offered the group a deal before they left, he advised that if the troupe were to bring him the soul of a dragon he would reward them with great power. The group also managed to persuade L’kira into giving them a “down-payment” on their services which involved two silver rings, a silver amulet and a spell scroll with command. Upon reaching the main entrance of the Citadel once more, the group agreed to continue their investigation for Erky Timbers. They opened the door on the northern-most wall and followed a corridor through to a well-lit room which included a broken cage that seemed to have scorch marks along the bars and walls. There was also a bedroll with a covered figure that was sobbing and whimpering as they entered the room. Gramps brazenly walked up to the covered figure and began prodding them. The figure rolled over and stood to reveal a young Kobold. He advised the adventurers that his name was Meepo and that his dragon Calcryx had been taken by the awful Goblins who lived nearby.
