[QUOTE="Aura, post: 6278653, member: 6747658"] [b]Post Battle[/b] As Hawk picks herself up, details of this crypt come to light. To put it nicely, the finishing of the chamber is entirely different from anywhere else in the small family catacombs. Instead of reverence of the traditional Venzan gods (albeit in an archaic way), this chamber is fully dedicated to the worship of a demon lord of some kind. Fresco art depicts battles between this demon lord's minions and (judging from the tabards) native Venzan forces, with the former given the most favorable depiction. In line with this artwork, the altar is definitely dedicated to this demon lord as well. The crystal chalice is caked in reddish brown on the inside, almost certainly dried blood. A rather fine dagger of old Venzan manufacture lies close to it, along with a plethora of ritual specific tools. The frescos around the altar leave even the casual viewer that when the patriarch (Benardo) of the family died, both women in the part of the chamber close to the door were sacrificed shortly thereafter. Of the two women, the human remains are most probably the matriarch (Gemma) of the family. However, the Tiefling is entirely unidentified. In the artwork behind each of their final resting places, each are depicted as close to/important to Benardo, as if they are equals. However, no artwork shows all three of them together. Each of the three of them has a silver ring with a matching obsidian stone on their bone finger. Additionally, the body of Gemma has a wand at her hand and the body of the Tiefling has a rather nice shortsword of Rorn manufacture at her side. Benardo has two notable items: a lovely Venzan morningstar with a silvery sheen and a wand. (Both these wands detect magic, as already noted by Wahyu.) Only one written word is present in any of the images in the Crypt: Hazagaroth. [sblock=Wahyu]Identifying items with Spellcraft requires three rounds and careful examination. It's not anything you do at a distance. However, even at a distance and with a quick examination, the chalice is clearly the source of the foul magic in the area, Fiendish Desecrate (as per the Desecrate spell, but set to demons and Fiendish creatures). It seems likely (1) it would have significant value to the right buyer and/or (2) destroying the chalice would end the effect.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
