"This is good decision. Having it makes us targets and it will tempt you when we're in dire straits. Plus, if we ever lose it or you get captured again, the other side could use it freely."

Turning to Vairar "What do you need to destroy that altar down there? Do we even want to explore the tunnels again? I am for clearing it completely out, but it is dangerous with all the undead."

Morgan nods and then ponders at the question to Vairar,

"What I think is the altar with the wraiths was actually guarding the blood altar. When I was possessed by Baazka, I learned that he'd been trying to get past the ghostly undead but they were preventing him from searching the area. I don't think he realized there was an different way to get to the blood altar. I'm not even sure he knew where the blood altar was hiding. In a sense, we helped him find it.

"My point is this: the other altar was probably placed there, after the fact, to prevent people from accessing the blood altar. There's probably no need to disturb it. As far as the blood altar itself, or the rest of the complex, I leave it up to you all to decide. The Red Wizard and his gnoll underlings were here for a reason. It could have been the rod or maybe it was something else. I do wonder if we can question the wraiths....

"I'm just happy that you came along and rescued me and I'm happy to help you in whatever endeavors you have planned until I have an opportunity to get back to Daggerford. Whatever you decide."

When Lunn brought his axe down on the now "empty" glass rod, it shattered into many pieces. Though it was bereft of charges, it still held many years of stored sacrificial blood, which erupted in a noxious gout. Lunn was drenched with sticky ichor - but that wasn't something that he was entirely unused to.

OOC: Lunn does need to make a dc12 CON save or be poisoned (sickened), but I think he'll be fine. It didn't get anyone else because of the "draining". Still unpleasant.

Uh...oh....At least there's a bath in the other building....

Morgan says, consoling Lunn.

 

[jmucchiello]

Escella hits Lunn with a bunch of prestidigitation spells, if it helps.

 

[TaranTheWanderer]

Morgan looks at Lunn and the others with anticipation to hear their thoughts on what to do next and to see their reaction to Lunn’s misfortune.

 

[Neurotic]

"Gah!" Lunn spits several time and then stands still as Escella starts with her cleaning

Once he's clean, he swipes her up in one-handed hug, twirls once around and puts her down, grinning.
"Thank you, lass, I was afraid I'll have to clean the clothes in that stream underground. This is you not giving me cold shoulder. Har HA!"

He then cleans up the axe and disperses the parts of the rod.
"Can it re-collect somehow? Should we take part of this?"

 

[jmucchiello]

Escella is surprised and awkwardly says, "You're welcome."

 

[MetaVoid]

Vairar looks at the breaking of the wand with approval and hint of amusement at the hastily done destruction, once again done without proper thinking over the consequences.

Still, the job is done in very definite manner. He collects the largest remaining peace of glass.
"I'll take this. It the wand reforms despite Morgans predictions, we may be able to deduce it by the shart dissolving, or at the very least, we can prevent full reformation and maybe hinder the gate opening. Maybe."

He nods at the question about the altar, but does not demand anything.
"The altar will attract evil again. And if we clear the area, we can revive the local hunting lodge or negotiate for elves to take it over. In any case, I'd really like to go and destroy either the blood altar or both. As you saw, I can somewhat control how many wraiths we face at any given time. And I can prepare better this time, both with protection from evil to protect from possessions and with restorations in case anyone is affected by the wraiths. Given the experiences from this titan and from gnolls and red wizards, I think it is prudent course of action. We could leave it for someone after us, but we're here and now. We could send recovered people back, both for safety in numbers and to report to various places. I suggest,the dwarves, Lionel and Titus head out and report to Lord Floshin, to Daggerford, and to Waterdeep in due time."

"That sounds prudent."

He turns to Titus,

"When you come to Daggerford, give this letter to Master Delphin. It explains everything that is happening so far. Hopefully he can find resources - like someone who know how to speak Thayan, or maybe a Scroll of Comprehend Language so, when we get back, we can decipher the Thayan Wizard's journal."*

Then to the others,

Unless there's any reason not to, let's get this done right away. Maybe we can get away from here before lunch."

Morgan focuses on his amulet, pronouncing words of power which invoke bands of magical runes appear all around him and then disappear from view. He picks up his belongings and gets ready to leave.

Spoiler: OOC

*I'm hoping to be able to read the journal on our arrival. I don't want to search for a scroll of Comprehend Languages so this seems like a good way to have one ready to buy when we get back to Daggerford.

Morgan casts Mage Armour. That also charges his Arcane Ward

Are we ready to move on???

 

[Kobold Stew]

Tommi watches as the blood goes everywhere, and he wonders about the motivations of the Pit Fiend. His hands are in his pockets; he bag slung over one shoulder.

He's ready to go, wherever the group is heading, but he does not make a suggestion. He's tired and sulky: his idea had been right, in the end -- or so he hoped -- even though it had been completed by others.
