Did we hear a bell ring when they did? Maybe the bell is activated a portal?”

Keét furiously finishes up writing and whispers to Xathoqqua, ​I think I can do that too he he.  The becomes aware of his companions. 
"Gawds, but maybe they had wings. Are there such things as winged beast-men?"

Kéet shakes his head at the strange runes and thinks of his rumbling belly and some of the unsavory things he's been forced to eat lately as he scribbles down the formulæ.

"Oh Great Toad, many a times I have eaten something that on the way in, tasted awful and rotten, but came out even worse. I pray for a way to purify food and drink​ so my arse will no longer pay for the foulness of what I put into my mouth."

Then he considers how his friends, old and new, have succumbed to wounds and said.

"And on occasion, unwanted things are placed into our bodies in places they shouldn't go, causing unfortunate damage. I pray to be able to cure these wounds; at least the light ones."

[Oh shoot I may have misunderstood. Two spells in addition to Omen and Command? And yeah, he does. He has ink & quill and parchment, but also has his spell book which I suppose is now a prayer book.]

Kéet, never really a religious fellow but somehow the whims of the gods have kept him alive while all his friends are dead, and he does tend to curse using Xathoqqua's name a lot. When he receives his visions and calls, he sardonically whispers to the toad-god Well here we are. In Xathoqqua's name I pray. Help me delivier myself and these new companions from this frozen, beast-man and witch ridden hellhole of a place and I will honour you until the day of my last breath or you may smite me with your phaliic spiked tongue!

Are you answering the call of a Thieving God or staying in the Arcane Arts as you stand at that cellar door? What'll be?

Shoot. Forgot to answer this part. Sure, why not. He'll probably die in the next encounter though

You'd keep the stats as a punishment of Xathoqqua, it would be he who would control any bonus prayers per day and the odds of his blessings of new spells!
Rel would blow the Spider Climbing out of your memories and clear the way for Xathoqqua's blessings.

😳 that could be interesting.

[I meant the Call of a Thieving God....?]

[Ha ha, I thought it was like when the lady called him into the woods and stole his ring ]

[I was so, so close to making him a purloiner but he is a legerdemainist.]

[This might be a good time for him to swear off magic and rededicate his life to one of the thieving gods, if Keet was ever gonna do something like that...]

[I actually had thought about asking if I could switch him a while back. Nothing happened that would contradict anything he has done so far.

"I don't know. Maybe. It sounds like a lot going on down there." Kéet keeps pressing against the door nervously.

"The sound is metallic and rhythmic. A ratcheting clunking!"
[Ah. I was thinking it might be the sound of a crossbow being drawn]

Kéet quickly crosses over tot he door and sees if there is a lock on it; or a way to wedge the door shut. Failing that he will just brace his back against the door and shout out.
'Hey guys! Might want to get in here. Got something down in the cellar. If it wants to get out I'm really hoping it's not as strong as me. That's not saying much!"

[Does the door open inwards towards the room and Kéet or outwards towards cellar? Or is it a trapdoor in the floor?]

Xathoqqua's slimy balls, Kéet thinks as he pulls his axe and looks around for the ratcheting sound.

Keét whistles and mutters to himself. "Probably should have just walked around" as he passes through and drops down.
