    Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

    The Cryomancer returns upstairs, contemplating the golden harp, he pondered if it could be played and perhaps the music was some form of worship for the temple, did it bless the congregation or heal...

    He spies Votin, "hmm, perhaps I should have warned you of the spoon and its magical properties, a part of me thought it might assist in eating, but this is more than I expected!"

    Befuddled and hungry Votin picks up the bowl and spoon, this time putting the spoon in the empty bowl very gently.

    Votin thinks surely this is magic he could grow to like, he tastes it first then if it's palatable , he will consume the rest.

    It is the best gruel to ever pass his lips.

    Narrhil had moved by the feeding barbarian and returned to the temple main and examined the harp. He stood in horror at what he found, wondering if his visions were fake or true. "Sir Votin, when you are ready could you please join me...!"

    When the barbarian arrives, he asks him to try plucking the remaining strings of the harp...

    When Votin arrives he looks at the pitiful remains of the harp...

    "This thing still play music?"

    "Yes, indeed, it still has magical properties and tells a story if one strums the strings!"

    Tilllak fishes in his pack for a spoon.

    "Lets out a belch of approval...."[from the other room]
    Tillak doesn't seem to have a spoon, and Votin ate the gruel before he left for the chapel.
    The dirty bowl and dirty spoon remain on the floor though.

    Votin follows Narrhill's instructions and strums the harp with both hands.

    Not quite as stimulating as beating drums and blowing ram horns.

    Votin plucks and the brittle ruined strings pop and disintegrate to dust.
