As we don't actually have the original posts in this thread to check back on, would you like to answer your own question, please, RA. :)

"Can't be opened?" queries Blunt with a sigh. "There's no way to get the wounded back out the window. I say we hide ourselves in the wizard's lair and hope he doesn't return. That will give us a day's rest and then Nhalia, if she agrees, can provide some healing of Titus and Shan. At least enough to get them mobile."
 

"I have a question--were the crates all moved liked this when you got there? If so, wouldn't someone have noticed the trapdoor? If not, how did the dark wizard come out to attack you?"
 

"Silver haired? Yes, that was her. What happened to her?"

"Wait a minute, you say she worshiped Selune? What is this, some plot to kidnap clerics of all the gods?"

In response to Nhalia's musings Kel says, "Hey, that's right. I just assumed that he magicked his way out - but maybe there's a secret way. OK, I'm going to search thoroughly."

OOC:
Take 20 on the search, starting in the area around the fallen stack where the mage first appeared.

"The two I mentioned...were sacrificed, one each day. I am sorry," Nhalia hangs her head.

(OOC: Kel finds nothing around there, but a dwarf might be able to tell you something about that other tunnel that led to the dead-end rune, and where it ends ;))
 

"Not all the gods," Sulannus says, looking troubled. "But both Selune and Sehanine have strong ties to the moon. Strange."

She looks at the priestess. "You said he was going to sacrifice you...did he begin his ritual? Did you notice what he was doing, and saying?"
 

"Yes, he started the ritual. He was talking in a language I couldn't understand--I think it was Abyssal based on the time my brother unsuccessfully tried to teach me a few planar languages."
 

"Do you know what happened to their bodies?" asks Kel, distracted for the moment by news of the silver-haired woman's death.

"Hey, I'm not being weird - it's just that, if we can find the bodies, then we have more evidence of this group's actions."

Kel gives up his search in disgust.

"It's no good, I can't find anything here. But you were right, he had to have some way of getting here. So if the door isn't here, maybe it's down below."

"Come on - we need to get down into that tunnel! Can you three manage Shan and Titus? I'm going to check out that dead end ... carefully!"
 

"I believe they were consumed by the Abyss, body and soul," Nhalia replies sadly, her head bowed down in either shame at being powerless to help them or reverence for the dead, "If they are lucky, they will be eaten by some awful beast that hungers for souls...if not...well, let's not dwell on it."

"I can try to help my fellow Tel'Quess carry one of them. Blunt is definitely strong enough to take the other, I imagine."
