The Banewarrens

[Argent Silvermage]

"As you wish. I just have no power over the undead. I'm beginning to feel useless." Fallon mutters.

Now that it's cowering, let us strike and return it to the grave, Malikar says as moves after the wraith into the next room, ready to attack. He wonders, though, why the wraith did not simply sink into the floor to escape him. Perhaps a level beneath?

OOC: Move after wraith, attack at +11 1d6+5.

The wraith is unable to pass the walls of this vault (perhaps a quality of these "Banewarrens"), so Malikar and Verakka have no trouble destroying it.

This chamber, thirty feet wide and twenty feet deep, looks as stark as those to the south. A pedestal made of stone and carved with a variety of tiny symbols rises four feet from the center of the floor. Atop it sits a purple-red crystal, glistening ever so slightly with its own light.

Krug checks for traps on the pedestal. If it's safe, he'll take the crystal.

"Krug, be careful. Let us see if that crystal is magical, first. Fallon, if you would do the honors of checking, my friend." Titus says as moves into the room, seeing Krug approach the crystal.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

"You want ME to check if something is magical?" Fallon will check for Psionics.

 

[Keia]

"You knew what I meant. Doesn't it accomplish the same thing, though?" Titus asks.

If not, Titus will can detect magic on it.

 

[Hammerhead]

A stone pedestal carved with eldritch symbols with a purple gem atop it? Does anyone else think this is unusual? It must be constructed for some purpose, and given the nature of this place, it is likely nefarious. While Fallon detects for supernatural presences, I'll search for signs of evil, Malikar says.

He closes his eyes, his posture rigid, and concentrates on reality, searching for an evil aura, perhaps on the pedestal, perhaps somewhere else.

Krug checks for traps on the pedestal. If it's safe, he'll take the crystal.

"Krug, we were not asked to take the Banes, but to perhaps reseal them. We should let it be." Amanu speaks in an even and solemn tone.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

I'm assuming psionics are a form of magic.

Malikar clearly detects evil from the crystal.

Fallon detects power in both the crystal and across the entire floor of the room.

Krug locates the trap: anyone touching the pedestal or crystal will cause the floor to electrify.

Titus recognizes the symbols on the pedestal: they are ancient holy symbols associated with good-aligned gods.

As you are contemplating, the crystal pulses with a purple-red light and another wraith appears in your midst.
