ooc: Well, so much for any party damage! Everyone is now at full strength! hero4hire, thanks for noting the casting of those two spells on Jared's sheet.
Jared's goddess again faithfully answers his prayers, and soon his companions are hale and hearty once more. Cyryn awakes as though from a deep sleep, with not a scratch on him. This does not stop him from complaining, however. The contusion on Hakkara's arm, a legacy of the strange, animated cauldron in the witch's hut, also is no more.
Soon, the party is ready to make way into the monastery without further delay. Breaking camp, the group proceeds toward the dilapidated structure.
The old path that leads up to the ruins ends about 50 feet from the monastery. Before entering the yard, the path passes between a pair of old stone statues. While one of them is little more than rubble, the other is relatively intact. The 5-foot tall statue is incredibly worn but it can still be made out as a dwarf holding aloft a great stone hammer. Moss and creeper vines cover most of its surface. Underneath the vines around the base an old dwarven inscription can still be seen.
[sblock=Jebbo and Cyryn, dwarven language]The inscription reads, “All praise, [this part is defaced].” Unfortunately, the missing name has been scratched off and is no longer legible.[/sblock]
A few lone razorcrows roost atop the tower and caw nastily at those who have entered their domain.
