Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
"Votin, what happened?" I'm glad that you are alive, brother. I fought three guards that came upon the beast man and I. The beast man abandoned me and I had to kill them."

"Tilliak, I found this passage with the stairs past going up and the door with no handle but had to fight three small skeletons who were very vicious."

"Was there writing there, or runes? Perhaps the way to enter it is through speech, or magic."

Votin knows the old ways so he can use the few earthherbs left in his pack to stop the flow, but the skirmish with the halfskeletons has left him extremely fatigued. [1/17 HP]

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Tillak is concerned for Votin's well being. "Should we rest, first?"

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
The companions are in a roughly 10ft x 12 ft space lined with shelves of glass bottles. The stairs Votin refers are inside the wall.

"Perhaps we should...you want the first watch?"
With this Votin binds his wounds like the old shaman showed him.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
Tillak begins to examine the bottles on the shelves. Can he determine what is in them?

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
I spill a drop of each on the flagstone. Does anything happen?

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
I touch the red stain. If it is wet, then I touch it to my wound.
