Zatira swings here spiked chain, catching the centipede by wrapping it up. With a strong pull, the chain shreds the centipede, killing it as it is torn to pieces. With that, the combat is done. Finally getting to look into the sarcophagus, the bounty is revealed. There are 12 silver arrows, 4 sun rods, 6 flasks of holy water, 10 1+ arrows, 5 1+ Ghost touch arrows, 2 1+ undead bane arrows, 5 potions of cure light wounds, 2 potions of lesser restoration, 1 scroll of detect undead, 2 scrolls of hide from undead, a scroll of protection from evil.

With these items, is a thin darkwood case decorated with an image of a scarab with a single eye glaring from its back, the same design that appears on the cover of the Manual of the Order of the Palatine Eye. The case itself is worth 50gp, but contains 3 objects of note. There is a spirit board with a brass spirit planchette, and 4 iron and glass vials containing tiny, churning clouds of vapor. The vials sit in velvet-lined indentations to the left of the spirit board and planchette, along with six empty indentations. The six vials are all valuable magic items called haunt siphons.

Upon leaving the crypt, Kendra who was waiting for everyone outside, sees the injuries and suggests you go to the clerics for healing, which she will pay the bill for.

OOC: Alrighty good job with the killing :P, I will explain how the haunt siphons and spirit plachette work in the OOC thread.

Mal breathes a sigh of relief as the second creature falls. He helps carry what he can out of they crypt, fascinated by the haul.

"I guess this was definitely a good first step," he offers as the group exits.

He thanks Kendra for her generosity in paying for the healing, as well.
 

"So does anyone here know anything about the.....whispering way was it? I personally, never heard of them before father's diary, but I'm sure if father was so worried about them he would have amassed some sort of collection about them in his library. I suppose if they are some kind of cult though, the Temple might also have some knowledge about them." Kendra asks as everyone leaves from the temple.

OOC: alrighty all sorry for the delayed post, for you battle you all get 150 xp's and everyone who wishes to can make a knowledge arcana or religion check at either the temple or the Lorrimor's residence to research the whispering way, or as a free action to see if you know anything yourself :P if you wish to do research at the temple, you need also make a diplomacy check to see if the priests let you use their library, but if you succeed you get a +4 to the check, otherwise at the lorrimor's residence you recieve a +2. Trust points 21
 


"Very kind of you to cover for our healing, as for the whispering way ..." Xilena strains at the thought of The Whispering Way

OOC: the roll is to assist Rigel

Mal shakes his head. "Afraid most of my studies are animal, vegetable, mineral, as it were," the druid says of the whispering way.

[sblock=ooc]Mal doesn't have ranks in either of the relevant know skills.[/sblock]
 

Kinem is able to tell you quite a bit about the whispering way. "The whispering way is a sinister organization of necromancers that has been active in the Inner Sea region for thousands of years. Agents of the whispering way often seek alliance with undead creatures, or are themselves undead. The most notorious member was Tar-Baphon, the whispering tyrant. The whispering way itself is a series of philosophies that can only be transferred via whispers-the philosophies are never written or spoken loudly, making the exact goals and nature of the secretive philosophy difficult for outsiders to learn much about."

OOC: Sorry, lost track of this thread. :(


Mal frowns. "If there's no paper trail, sounds like the only thing we have to go on are the journals," the druid thinks aloud.

"Which means, I guess, we have a trip to Harrowstone on the horizon?"
