Kirio walks up next to Arnir and Lars and peers down the stairway, examining the stonework for any sings of obvious danger... Sensing his spell, he looks over to the younger elf, "Anything?"
Torrent's scowl fades after she hears Arnir's reply. In fact, she even laughs a bit, saying: "You know Arnir, if you weren't so funny, I would be more upset. But seriously, touch my ass again and you lose the hand." She then walks over to join the others by the secret entrance.
[sblock="for Arnir"]Arnir, your senses are struck by a large, overpowering aura of transmutation magic. The aura is centered in a room at the bottom of the stairs. The aura is so strong that your mind aches with the simple task of attempting to measure its strength.[/sblock]
[sblock="for Kirio"]Kirio, the stairs appear to be well made, sturdy and free from danger. Additionally, no dungeon-related hazards appear to be present on the staircase.[/sblock]

"looks sturdy enough, shall we explore and... learn? Unless Arnir has sensed something we should consider first?" Kirio readies his bow and waits for the others to weigh in...

Arnir grunts with discomfort as his mind is filled with a powerful aura "Well, there's certainly something down there. I sense an incredible source of transmutation magic coming from the cavern."

"Well," says Torrent as she readies her axe, "looks like we're not going to learn anything else by just standing here. Follow me."
You follow Torrent down the stone stairway and into the chamber below the fountain. This twenty-foot diameter chamber radiates peace and patience; the soft blue air whispers with a hallowed, distant song. The chamber’s center
is dominated by a tall white statue depicting an elven woman plunging a greastsword deep into a rampant stag. The sword, though carved of stone, looks like it is made of wood and covered in vines that entwine the elf woman’s hands.
At the statue’s feet lie two immobile figures. The first is dressed in the uniform of a Shahalesti soldier from decades past, his body wreathed in pale flames that struggle to burn. The man’s eyes are closed, as if he is in a deep slumber. Likewise along the ceiling, tree roots growing down from the surface flicker with fire, but the flames are subdued, as if the light holds them at bay.
The second figure, a young male elf with red hair, wears the robes of a priest, though he carries no holy symbol. Numerous claw wounds mark his face and body, and he does not breathe, though his body shows no signs of decay. His arms are spread as if he fell in battle, and a heavy mace lies inches from one of his hands. It points to an elaborate glass display case near the wall, which has been shattered, its contents missing.

Kirio's left eyebrow raises at a seemingly unnatural angle as he turns to his companions, paying particular attention to Bannock, Alric and Hrmir "do NOT touch anything!"
He turns back towards the disturbingly static scene and slowly walks towards the prone elven figures. He stops short of them (approximately 10 feet) and kneels, inspecting them... after a few moments a feeling somewhat foolish he addresses them in elven
[sblock="if you speak elven"] good morning friends... Can you hear me? We seek to end the suffering of this place, but know little of what transpires here. Can we aid you in any way?[/sblock]

The two bodies give no reply to Kirio's words. The soldier appears to be sleeping deeply and the robed elf is clearly dead.
[sblock="for Kirio"]Kirio, the uniform is familiar to you. It is a standard issue tabard for elven soldiers of Shahalesti and the design was in common use about 40 or 50 years ago.[/sblock]

Kirio looks back at the others, a sheepish look on his face "Was worth a try. Let's get a little closer then shall we..." He smiles wickedly, casts detect magic, and approaches what appears to be a deceased elven priest and searches him; then inspects the "sleeping" soldier for vital signs, laying a hand on his forehead and checking for a pulse.

Kirio, the robed elf has no possessions beyond his robe and the heavy mace laying by his hand.
The soldier's body is wreathed in a strange blue fire. Though the flames struggle to burn, they are still quite hot to the touch. You are able to feel a very slow pulse before your hands burn, which you have to pull away. Any prolonged contact with the body will obviously cause injury to you.
[sblock="for Arnir and Kirio"]Arnir, given your detect magic is still active and Kirio just cast one as well, you both learn the following. The main overwhelming aura of transmutation magic is centered on the sleeping elven soldier. The heavy mace by the dead robed elf is also giving off an aura of magic that includes conjuration, transmutation and evocation.[/sblock]
