Marot

"Har-Har there Jarrith."

The flame-haired warlock quickly pockets the items then BAMMFS's into the main corridor again, only to see the mad-man pushing a barrel of wine towards him.

"Watch yourself, that thing could have undead in it as well."

Marot then BAMMFS's over into the wine cellar and does a quick look around for magical auras.
 

Ashlyn makes a mental note of Cyrus's directions, ok ... back, and down the stairs then ..., before smiling at Cyrus's joke. It is a grim smile however, as she imagines decapitating a zombie and leaving it lying with an axe protruding from it's rib cage.

She then turns to Cyrus and speaks, "Thank you for the directions, much appreciated. ... Here's a little something to help with your cooking"
Ashlyn moves over to the large pot and it suddenly radiates light.
"That should help you with your cooking for the next hour or so!"

"Well we won't disturb you any longer."

Aslyn then walks towards the door and prepares to head back to the stairs that they came down.
 

Sir Khensu follows along behind Lady Ashlyn. "We will continue on. The crypt must be beneath the castle main somewhere. I follow you, M'Lady."
 

Ravika will stare at Avron as he wheels it into the room, "Thirsty?" she asks, genuinely wondering what he planned to do with the wine.
 

As Avron begins to a move a barrel and Marot teleports in, the pane of glass distorts to an image of a dragon of wine or blood rising from the depicted glasses. At the same time, the cellar is flooded with a foul odor, a blood red gas that covers the two men. Both cough for a moment, but seem to be otherwise unaffected.
 


Tessa had been silent for some time, deeply troubled by yet another living reminder of the madness which seemed to infest this land. THIS was what awaited her, surely, if tales of aberrant dragonmarks were to be believed...

But she would be strong, and she had her faith in the Sovereign Host to sustain her. That would have to be enough to resist the lure of the flames.

She paused in the doorway, ready to follow Ashlyn and Khensu. "If you gentlemen are through with your need for drink, the stairs are this way..."
 

Ladreth had been staying back after the brief encounter in the boiling pot room. He'd cleaned his blade from the ichor and watched from the room as the madman had excitedly discovered a cask of wine. When the others seemed to want to press on, Ladreth brought up the rear, his blade always out, ready to defend against the seen and the unseen. But at the moment, he patiently waited for Marot and Avron to finish their fit of coughing and move along to the stairs.
