Eyes Of The Lich Queen

"Starts by put back on feet Rogan and then heal Ari. They are the most wounded." acknowledge Jango.

"Anybody have any ideas where we can rest, though?" Jina asks skeptically. "I'm happy to stand watch and all, but if we get another band of those Blackscales then... well, all the noise I make fighting them off might wake you up." She grins impishly.

"In the ceremony room maybe? There is two exits, and with a ltille luck, the one who could come there might not know or think to block the secret passage, so we could easily escape if needed." suggests Jango.

OOC: D'oh! Should have kept track of unused spells before I leveled. I'm pretty sure I had three 1st level spells left (Bless and Command were effectively useless, so I know those were left, and I don't believe I used Obscuring Mist), and I think I hadn't used a couple orisons, either (I had a few Detects prepared, which I don't believe got used). So, there should be at least three Cure Lights (1d8+7) and two Cure Minors (1 point each). Distribute as Rinaldo Jango suggests, trying to get Rogan and Ari fairly evenly healed up.

Edit: Sorry about that. Got my characters messed up.

Distribute as Rinaldo suggests...

Wrong game here... Rinaldo is presently figthing the evil aspect of a level 17 chronomancer who has a grudge against him. Nothing compare to Jango who is travelling with this group.

 

[DEFCON 1]

Using the rest of Brother Donovan's remaining spell power, plus the uses from Aern's eternal wand of healing and three charges from Khalia's Cure Light Wounds wand... the party gets themselves back to virtually full health (and the good night's sleep will take care of the rest.) In the morning, the group will be right as rain.

Deciding that there is nothing they can do at the current moment in time.. with all of their abilities depleted as they are... they decide to hole up for the night. On the left side of the temple are several small rooms that have bedding to sleep in, and the vestry on the right side has a few hammocks hanging within (if you are willing to walk across the soggy rugs from Donovan's water spell). A watch order is set up, and for the remainder of the night the group rests without incident. If any further blackscales are out there... they aren't returning to the temple.

*****

The next morning everyone gets up feeling refreshed. Breakfast is eaten, and more exploration of the temple is undertaken. Khalia and Horatio return to the main hall to get a better look at the dragon skeleton bas-relief... and between the two of them they are able to figure out what had been niggling away at them in the back of their minds.

At the bottom corner of the sculpture they can see a small representation of what looks to be the Temple of Kha'shazul... the building they are currently in. However, this representation only seems to include the main part of the temple itself... the portico out front is not there. Instead... a large cavern hole is there in its place.

When this information is passed onto Rogan, he quickly moves out to the temple portico to look at the building architecture... and is able to determine that the main temple and the portico were not built at the same time. The portico seems to be a later addition to the building. (Knowledge Architecture & Engineering check TN 15: [13] + 9 = 22 *success*)

The hunter circled the well. "Looks like we might have to go down here anyway. Anyone have rope besides this bit I have?"

 

[Autumn]

"I have some," Jina pitches in. "I don't reckon we'll need a lot anyway, didn't look like it went down far."

Retrieving a coil of rope from her pack, she starts securing it around one of the pillars next to the well.

Upset that he didn't notice the detail in construction prior to moving into the temple, Rogan attributes it to being to concerned of the inhabitants.

"I have a good length of rope if your's is not enough, Ari." Rogan says as he pulls out about 50' feet of silk rope from his haversack. From the amount pulled out compared to the size of the pack, something doesn't seem right.

"Do you think this well along with the other one both lead to what was depicted on that bas-relief? I am assuming the one up front will lead somewhere.Now we just need to know how it functions."

"The other well looked normal when we searched it before, but I'm not a builder, so I could've missed something," the priest says, looking down the well. "I don't have any more rope, but the Flame might make looking for the mechanism to open the way easier."

[sblock=OOC]Donovan has two Guidance spells memorized, so he can give a +1 on Search checks to whoever's going down.[/sblock]
