"The light is mostly permanent, though I must stay near, and if so, it would stay lit for my lifetime, and therefore I could walk many miles away from the centre of its magic and still return with it still active!"

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
[ If the fire is contained by the hearth and if no danger of spreading then let it smolder, if the food is done we will remove the kettle before we leave.
The party will take reasonable precautions before they leave.
Is the kitchen area observable from the stairs or just two of us go and two stand guard?]

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
[ Are there any other PC's other than Votin that are familiar with the sliding portal in the basement?
Should we investigate that after the stairs? ]

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
[Narrhil does not know it, I did read that Votin and Tillak came through it
The bell tower is at rear, the window from kitchen are high up on the wall, so at angle one should see the bell tower? I think we should go as a group. If things go wrong, there is still the other building to hide in].

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Votin returns to the kitchen and lifts the kettle from the fire, leaving the flames alive.
He looks up to the high broken out windows and sees through the falling snowfall, the rickety stair tower, and at its top -- a large oxidized bell.
He then returns to the party waiting in the chapel.
He goes to the broken front doors.
[Does he unfasten the pews?]

Tillak follows.
- “Moonglum licked his long lips. 'So it’s sorcery again. In truth, Elric, this whole country is beginning to stink of wizardry and the minions of hell.' Elric murmured for his friend’s ears: 'No hell-beings these—but honest elementals, equally powerful in many ways.'"

Votin checks the door and listens for any sign of trouble, if all clear he unfastens the pews.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Narrhil is close by, one hand on the wand of freezing, and his horseman's pick in the other. He scan as much as he can see in the glowing magical light. The magical light that itself shimmers in an ice blue glow; the outer perimeter seem to cracking in a minor static lightning storm; erupting around the edge of the sphere in its own personal dance; a raging frenzy. The power of Yikkorth; 'The Ashen Worm,' soured through Narrhil's veins and had melded with his spell...

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Votin hears nothing and reaches through the crackling minor static lightning storm at the edge of Narrhil's magical light and unties the binding rope of the stacked pews.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Keét walks in wiping his hands. "Phew. That fire was stubborn but I got it out. I'll make sure these stairs are safe."
[OOC: Having trouble with the pacing. Keet rolled a 1 for Manipulate Traps to check to see if the stairs are safe to climb.]

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Having put out the stew fire, Keet joins the group in the chapel in time to watch Votin carefully untie the pews at the broken front doors.
[There are no stairs here.]
[The game pace is far, far slower than it seems, we have not made it to the rickety stairs yet. I like to go super slow, to make sure that everybody gets to do what they need to do(or things happen that need to happen) at every step along the way.]

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
[Gotcha. Maybe it’s the number of posts that I need to get used to. I just randomly checked real quick and didn’t receive an email for the post you made

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
[I'm so used to get notifications from over on Mythweavers for my pbps that I just forget if I don't get them. So once again I apologize for the slowness.]
