Gaven gives Wally brief last rites and a blessing with some of the holy water from the font.
Filbert and Almo both nod their appreciation for Duran's words and Gaven's gesture.
Then all make ready to head back down into the catacombs and continue exploring.
Oloc eyes the torch before turning to the others. "I think there is enough life left in this one for us to begin exploring that chamber to the east." The Mage then readies his gear and prepares to descend once again.
*****
Familiar with the territory, it doesn't take the party long to reach the second catacomb chamber where the skeletons were defeated.
Heading out the north door, you make your way down the corridor to the east toward the chamber you spotted earlier at the hallway's end.
The chamber is small, only 20' x 20' square. Carved into the far (east) wall is the symbol of the light. Before the symbol stands a wooden lectern, atop which rests what appears to be a very old book. To either side of the lectern is an iron floor candelabrum, each with five candles, though none are lit.
Blue arrow shows party's position.
The air in this chamber seems slightly warmer and more wholesome than the air you've encountered elsewhere in the catacombs.
Exits lead to corridors north and south. In each corridor, there is a door in the east wall. The one to the north is about 20' away, while the one to the south is about 35' away.

Gaven - cleric
ReplyDelete"Strange that this room feels 'cleaner' than the others. Perhaps the tome will provide some answers."
Gaven asks Oloc to light the candelabras and will read through the old tomb.
Duran - Fighter
ReplyDeleteDuran stands watch with his bow and arrow at the ready as Gaven reads the tome.
Oloc - Mage
ReplyDeleteOloc uses the torch to light the candles on either side of the lectern. He then moves to join Gaven in trying to figure out what is in the tome. "Very interesting," mutters the Mage.
