OOC: Trevor proceeds to open the door and then immediately gets out of the more martial characters' way.
 

A short passage and a few steep steps downward leads to what can only be a torture chamber. Lurid light from a flaming cresset and a glowing brazier full of hot coals reveals a room containing a rack, iron maiden, several cages, and all other sorts of unspeakable devices for inflicting pain.

A human male lies dead upon the rack, and another lies dead in a cage. The one on the rack appears to have had his throat slit, while a spear wound slew the one in the cage. The wounds look fresh; they couldn't have happened very long ago.

Kurt grimaces as he sees the sight. Stepping forward, he administers the last rights with a generic ceremony befitting good folk of unknown deity. "Poor souls were probably from Nulb. At least their suffering is ended."

"Come on," he says, gesturing for the rest of the group to head back to the unexplored corridor they spied before.

"Egad! What a horrid place. I'm with Kurt, there's nothing more that can be done for these poor souls, and we do not want to disturb the room, lest it signal those responsible that we have been here." Trevor follows Kurt's lead.
 

Verdis

With a shudder, Verdis agrees with the calls to move on. "Can we take the recent wounds as indication that are friend the priest of Earth is cleaning house before moving on? Perhaps he thought these poor souls might have had information that would be of use to us?"

"I think that it would be a mistake to assign a motive to these murders. Who can fully understand the workings of such an evil and dastardly mind? For all we know, they believed that they were instructed to kill these people by their wicked gods."
 

Dara

“Whatever it was, that motivated them, it's not like we could do anything about it at this point... let's move on and see that next time we can.”

"Agreed. Whether we succeed or no, we can but try. Lead on, Kurt the Intrepid!"

Coraine

The paladin shakes his head as he sees the dead man lying on the rack.

"There is no honor in torture."

"Whoever committed this atrocity will be found and be judged for what they are -- a murderer."


He says a quick prayer to his patron, then removes both dead bodies from their original locations and places them on the floor and covers them with anything nearby in the room. He says a quick blessing over them and then continues after the others.
