Benny feels the holy light wash over him. He takes a few seconds to thank Pelor, as he dismisses his illusory wall. He the calls back his friend Max, and heads towards the scale. He is curious about the key, and inspects it to see if it can be pulled out.

“What do you think” he asks out loud, the question mainly targeted at Max but open to the others

OOC: cast find familiar,pact of the chain allows casting it as an action without using a slot Max Arcana check for the key: 21 Max religion check: 12 He is proficient in both

ROUND 5

Caer sees that Marshall still has two flesh-eaters surrounding him, and strides forward. He focuses the Raven's power on the one closest and draws its attention, saying to it, in a lilting, calm voice ...

Now, return back to the earth and find rest.

With that, Caer brings down the Blackstaff with all his strength straight down on the wretched creature, seeking to end its unnatural existence.

OOC: (HM 15) Bonus Action - Target Z2 Caer moves to F13. Swing: 1D20+5 = [10]+5 = 15 Damage: 1D8+5+1D6 = [6]+5+[2] = 13 13 damage to Z2. Not bothering with topple.

 

[Neurotic]

Havoc leaves the scales when it becomes apparent that the zombies weren't destroyed by the light. He takes the space of the zombie Caer felled and tries to get to the zombie on the other side. Between stairs and large goliath, he barely connects

"Stratus, switch?" he offers again

OOC: Last time he didn't take so same roll?

Spoiler: Actions

Move: F15
Hits AC 9 for 5 damage

Combat Over
Time: 8:25

Caer and Havoc move into positions to deliver killing blows to the burning zombies and, for the first time in moments, all is quiet in the Cathedral.

You take a few quick moments to scan the area. First, Benny goes to look at the scales. Wee Jas, being the god of magic and death, most often depicted as being a god of balance, is usually seen holding a perfectly balanced set of scales. This depiction is off since the scales are unbalanced. The key seems to be fixed in the hole and can't be removed. It seems like it may turn if one was wont to do so.

Meanwhile, in the corner, with a cursory glance, you notice that the subject of the zombie's attention was a fresh, armoured corpse. There is a broken length of rope near the corpse.

Edit: Looking closer at the corpse, it has a necklace depicting a cowled Mask.1

Looking up, you see a hole in the ceiling where this person, most likely, fell. Looking around, you notice a few other details but you need to take some time to put them together.2

Spoiler: OOC

Combat is over at 8:20, for the purposes of spells.

It takes an additional 5 minutes to look over and inspect the body and the statue.

It will take a few more moments to get any details regarding corpse.

Edit: investigating the corpse takes 5 minutes - not an additional 5.

What would you like to explore and how much time do you take doing it. Nightfall is at 9pm.

@Steve Gorak if you want Max back, you need to spend an hour casting the spell.

You guys can discuss how you proceed in the OOC thread if you want.

1. (INT) Religion (or appropriate background will add proficiency) 15 to identify the necklace on the corpse.

2. (INT) Investigation (or appropriate background - such as Guide - will add proficiency) 15 to put some previous details together with the ones in this room.

 

[Snarf Zagyg]

Just to the west, Caer sees the corpse that flesh-eaters had been huddled around, and his curiosity piqued, moves toward it. He observes the corpse, the broken length of rope, and then looks up and sees the hole above him.

Did he fall down here? What was he trying to do?

Caer tries to visualize all of the trees he is seeing, hoping to glimpse the forest.

OOC: Investigation + Forestal: 1D20+2 = [15]+2 = 17 WOOT! Was not expecting that.
