Ruik's Carrion Crown Pt1

[BBs]

Xilena sits in quiet contemplation while waiting for the dinner, she couldn't think anything else other then food. He stomach consistently poking at her for food, food, ffooooooddd! Keeping her composure still and in control as Kendra announces "Dinner is served!" instead of pouncing on the table to feast. She sits at the table after the others, except for Gor and Kyrus, as in a form of control. She then eats her share of the meal before her professionally but fast; remembering what the Professor taught her, although . Although still resisting the urge to eat like a wild animal, that fiendish idea still comes across her mind. She asks for seconds if there is enough and after everyone has had their first, and even asks for thirds. How she keeps her athletic figure while eating this much remains a mystery. She joins in Gor's toast and oath "Hear hear!"

"I'll drink to that." Rigel does as he said.

Malounen Tiliney, human druid

Mal finds he had no idea how empty his stomach had grown this day, and eats more than his fill with the others, with both thanks and compliments to Kendra for the meal. At Gor's toast, he nods and raises his own glass to enthusiastically join the others.

"An oath I'll take in a heartbeat," he says.

"And I think our first order of business on that end is likely to find out if the professor claimed whatever artifacts he was after. Perhaps the temple of Pharasma might be helpful in that regard?"

Gor downs his glass and then nods to Mal. "A worthy plan. Gor agrees."

 

[Ruiktheforgotten]

"That is an excellent idea! Tomorrow we can go to the temple and ask the clergymen for permission to search the crypt. " Kendra adds, after she downs her glass. "I do not plan to be sitting around here, doing nothing as you all work to further my fathers work, so do not try to stop my aiding you." With that, supper is concluded. Everyone returns to their rooms, after bidding each other goodnight. The next morning everyone wakes up bright and early, with the promise of a new day ahead of them, everyone is eager to begin.

"Now, i will have to warn you all, despite the trust i have in you, the townsfolk will not be as trusting, so do not take it personally". Kendra points out as they head out to the temple, taking them about 1 hour to get to the temple.

Zatira follows kendra quickly she really wants to see this crypt she is talking about there might be something quite valuable in there

 

[Jemal]

"Normally Gor would leave the talking up to someone more.. socially acceptable, but they may respond well to a fellow clergyman."
Upon their arrival at the Temple, Gor approaches the clerics and asks to speak to their high priest.
"We have come from the nearby town Ravengro, tracing the footsteps of a local professor who was investigating a most sinister plot" Gor tells the high priest the basics of their quest and their belief that the Professor may have found something when he came that could help them.

OOC: Diplomacy check on the priest to warm him up to us. Rolled a 19 for a total of 27. Was hoping for a synergy or circumstance bonus due to being a fellow cleric, but I'm guessing that'll be a high enough number..

 

[Ruiktheforgotten]

"Well it certainly plausible that some members of a previous hierarchy could have hidden some relics, but i must admit there are no records of such." The clergymen admits, as Gor finishes explaining the situation. "Normally we wouldn't allow others to investigate in our restlands, but you have shown me that you can be trusted."

the party is lead to the crypt by one of the clergymen and is then left to their own devices. The crypt itself is a freestanding granite mausoleum, the roof of which is decorated whit a pair of leering gargoyle statues. A single stone door with a rusty looking lock sits in the mausoleum's south facade.

OOC: alrighty can i get a perception check from people. Also another note normally i would have waited for some other diplomacy checks to be made before posting, but Gor managed to hit the DC exactly so in order to keep the story going to the good stuff i just kinda said screw it

Malounen Tiliney, human druid

Mal finds the half-orc's diplomatic skills refreshing, especially since he knows his own bumbling speech never seems move people.

He follows along behind the priest and into the crypt, where he has trouble catching much detail in the gloom. Instead, he decides to try looking with another set of eyes. Muttering something to himself, he plucks at the air like a string, then looks at the room afresh.

Xilena wakes up for the day, preparing for the road ahead. She becomes a bit gloom to realize the group is heading for a crypt. Impressed by Gor's persuasion with the clerics, she takes a look at the gargoyles as the group searches around. Being a bit scared by the statues' cryptic gaze, and being oblivious to her surroundings
