Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

He carefully looks into the temple, through one of the nearest holes in the door way.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

The room is empty, but Narhill notices something that wasn't there when he left. 3 ropes hanging down from the charred rafter at the rear down to the raised dais.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Narrhil blinks and ponders, then enters into the temple. Wand at the ready. He will not wait for parley. If he sees them blink wrong he will blast them to death...

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Narrhil crawls through the broken doors and across the pews tied against the doorway.
Fresh footprints track all over the room in the snow/ice.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Narrhil watches the ropes and the door to he kitchen, making sure none surprises him.

He moves through the centre of the temple to the east wall, making sure none could spy him from the kitchen. He moves slowly to the kitchen door listening for any danger.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Most likely Narrhil doesn't move into the opening of the kitchen doorway. Slowly he makes his way.
Pausing  near the dais edge beside the opening, and listening. His ears ache for something. The wind. The creak of the wooden belfry swaying. The tinging of sleet on the last bare stone and wood of the chapel. Then a long off wolf howl. Easterly or southern?

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Narrhil quickly moves into the kitchen, presenting the wand; ready to destroy any threat.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Narrhil jumps through the doorway. But the room is bare.
The cellar door ajar as he left it.
A VOICE heard coming through the high windows.
"Somebody's been through here. Look at all these marks, FERRAND. Nar a few by the looks of it,
I sense grave magicks have been at play here...
No matter we wait for the others."

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

[My last funeral was Saturday morning, my aunt, uncle and sister have gone into the light and all my duties are done, Votin is itching for some action...unless he has retired...is it possible to play a different class or maybe two PCs? I've been reading the book.]

[Of course you are welcome anytime. If want brand new character...read back a few entries - great opportunity right this second. Just send me your stats and story and whatnot  so I can make me a character sheet for you and figure out what to do.]

[Votin seems to keep disappearing into some otherworldly crackling riven of lightning, it's unclear if his movement back to this plane is controllable, but hope springs eternal.]

[Welcome back Yeti, sad for your lose, life can be brutal.

Narrhil is carrying (and using) Votin's battle axe and donned his armour. So, would cause some concerns if he reappeared. ]

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

[Can Narrhil determine an accent from talkers. Does he think they are high in the bell tower or in the courtyard?]

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Narrhill can't discern exact location or place their origin from the low din, but if he stepped inside the room he would be able to look through the window and see the belfry.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Narrhil want to get to the cellar to see if Tillak and the great worm are safe.

He moves close the cellar door, looking out the windows for any sign of movement and listening for and sound coming up the stairs.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Narrhil slips through the kitchen. And glances up - No one at the belfry. 
He again hears the muttering voices, but they aren't saying much at the this moment.

[Roll d6 as Narrhil approaches the cellar door...]

Narrhil makes it to through the door no problems.
