The dwarf glances at the little body. "Doesn't look like much to have caused so much trouble. Think it was responsible for the trap room with the tentacles we faced in our first trip down here?" He keeps his axe ready in case more trouble is in the offing and waits to see what Talashia discovers.

The child-sized body doesn't move when Talishia prods it with the staff. Her little face is blacked from the electricity, and her frayed batwings are still smoldering.
The staff is made from bleached bone with intricately carved sigils along its length. A carefully designed setting of skeletal fingers secures a large, black onyx on top.

"Probably...not," Talashia murmurs, studying the staff intently.
"It looks like some variety of sprite...possibly a pixie. Though it is odd that it was using this staff. Fey rarely have the temperament to learn true magic, and staves require magic knowledge to use properly."
She gets a thoughtful look.
"Of course, creating undead spontaneously like that is something I'd normally say only priests can do, by channeling dark divinities. I wonder if this pixie was some kind of fey priest of a fell power..."
The sorceress shrugs. "I won't know for sure until I can thoroughly analyze this staff. And for that I'd need a scroll, and for that we need to find this alchemist."

Rokelsh doesn't 'detect evil' to know that that Staff LOOKS bad, nor does he hide his feelings about it. "The staff is a tool of the unatural, we should destroy it or turn it over to a church so that it doesn't fall into the wrong hands..." He looks down at the pixie "Again."
"And as for saving the day - We all did our part, as we always do. We are a good team."
[sblock=ooc]
Also, I have some suggestions as to how the pixie may have been responsible for both, though Rokelsh would be clueless (And I may be completely wrong)
A) The Pixie is a warlock.
B) The staff did it.
OR..
C) Both. (Warlocks can use magical devices rather adeptly)
Just my two (Er.. three I guess) Cents.

"hey sis, great job, by t he way. I glad that is over, though"
(He is still concentrating on the staff. He is sure it is evil, he just wants to know how strong of evil it is.)

The paladin is amazed when the staff gives off no hint of evil.

OOC: Well, that settles it. Please disregard my suggestion (day late/dollar short) in OOC thread.
Uulark just adds an obvious caution: "If we take it to a temple, which I think is a good idea, then we need to try to take some steps to see that we do not become influenced by the thing."
