His fine silk robes had probably once been worth a tidy sum...now though, they are slashed, bloodied and scorched. His armor and weapon radiate magic, as does the scroll in a tube at his belt. His shield is of high quality, he carries a pouch full of coin, and the he wears a number of gold and garnet studded jewelry items.The great fire altar in the temple's southern portion has six skulls and the symbol of elemental fire inlaid into it in pure gold; probably worth some coin, if someone is willing to defile the altar and pry the designs out of it.After examing the cleric's items, Dara's detect magic spell leads her to the southern firepit, where the flames have dimished but the coals still glow cherry red. A small object radiates magic from where it lies in the pit...what had appeared to be a lump of coal when the High Priest threw it in the fire appears to actually be a large, emerald-cut, reddish-violet garnet up close. The gem must be close to two inches in length, and an inch across.[sblock=For Dara/Thanee]As Dara uses her spell to examine the gemstone lying in the bed of hot coals, she is nearly blinded by the overwhelming magical aura that is radiating from it. She has never discerned an aura even close to as powerful as that coming off of the garnet.[/sblock]Options: Press on ahead, search the rooms that you passed in pursuit of the Fire Priests, withdraw?Loot FoundFullplate +1 (2750)Warhammer +1 (1312)Heavy shield, masterwork (170)Scroll, divine (raise dead)15pp, 90gp, 37sp, 19cpGold chain belt (value 100gp)Gold and ruby "8-pointed fire) amulet (value 525gp)Gold and garnet ring (value 375gp)Experience has been updated in the Rogue's Gallery thread.PC status after the expenditure of 3 charges from the Wand of Lesser Vigor:PC StatusCoraine 44/44, protection from fire (1 point)Kurt 38/38Dara 34/34Ragnok 43/49Trevor 35/36Verdis 27/27</blockquote>
