[GM]: BEGIN SESSION
(Anval whispered to GM): done
[GM]: The party stands in front of a large stone monolith that partly blocks the passageway.
(GM whispered to Anval): thanks
[GM]: Lendyll has just been "burned by it" as he touched it.
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): wasn't it before the corridore branched?
[GM]: CHECKING: you should see nothing on the map but the minis and the red dot ... correct?
[GM]: Behind you the 100yds of stairs that let you down to this point.
[GM]: Ahead of you, the passageway continues as far as you know.
[GM]: The walls are smooth stone with spots of green fungus here and there.
(Anval whispered to GM): I see skeletons and a book
[Jamison]: Dirk, What does the map of the catacomb's show you?
[GM]: Every sound that you make echos.
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): are the side passages where they are relative to our minis?
[GM]: Dirk is studying the map of the cats.
(GM whispered to Jackdaw): Can you see the map?
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): yes
(GM whispered to Jackdaw): no anymore
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): but the lines just blanked out
DICE for Lance: [Thomas Wintersun / Dice] : (3d6) : 3d6=6,1,5 = [ 12 ]
[Jamison]: Llendyl, can you see around the stone?
(GM whispered to Jackdaw): Has already looked around the stone and see an intersection 50yds ahead.
(GM whispered to Ghostmoon): Didn't Thomas already look around the stone?
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): thanks
[GM]: Lendyll is hugging himself .. still a little shaken by the experience.
[GM]: The stone blocks the 2yd wide passageway leaving 1ft on either side.
[Jamison]: Are you alright Len?
[GM]: Dirk: map says nothing about any stone.
[GM]: Lendyll: I am fine.
[Jamison]: Is the stone old, and strong magic?
[GM]: Lendyll: I don't know how old ... but as I said .. it's like it is a powerstone or something.
[ Lance left the game ]
Jackdaw playes and approaches the stone
[GM]: ***: What is everyone doing?
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): to sense the magic
[Jamison]: And no one can reread the writing...
(To GM) DICE for Jackdaw: (3d6) : 3d6=5,4,1 = [ 10 ]
(GM whispered to Jackdaw): That a detect magic spell?
Jamison watches JD
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): mages ability, based on IQ
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): not the spell
[Anval]: Anne reades her mace
[GM]: Lendyll to Anval: Didn't you say that it had a date?
[Anval]: Yes - 257 Pendular
[Anval]: It is many hundred of years old
(GM whispered to Jackdaw): You feel strong magic permeating the stone.
(GM whispered to Anval): Current year is 1132p
[GM]: Dirk: Well ... we should continue on .....
[Jamison]: Could this serve as a guarian to the catacombs?
[Anval]: It is now 1132 pendular, so that would make it almost 875 years old...
[GM]: Dirk begins to put the map back in it's holder.
[Jamison]: Maybe we need to know the word for enter?
(Anval whispered to GM): Can I get a default roll to say Veridan Augmena in old common dialect? You know, like speaking olde english?
(GM whispered to Anval): Any language ablitites?
[Anval]: just Theology
[GM]: Sir C moves close to the stone and looks around it.
[GM]: Sir C: Seems passable to me.
[GM]: Sir C: A little tight ... but passable.
[Jamison]: And no sign of the stone ever being moved?... no scratch marks on the floor?
[Anval]: Then lets just squeeze through and get going!
(GM whispered to Anval): You could try to pronounce the name .... or read the writing ....
(GM whispered to Anval): Up to you.
(Anval whispered to GM): Anne tries both...
(Anval whispered to GM): speak the words: roll
DICE for Anval: (3d6) : 3d6=3,5,3 = [ 11 ]
(Anval whispered to GM): read the words, roll
(To GM) DICE for Anval: (3d6) : 3d6=3,3,3 = [ 9 ]
(GM whispered to Anval): aloud?
(Anval whispered to GM): yep
Jackdaw squeezes past the stone
(GM whispered to Anval): You can form the writing into words ... but it makes no sense to you.
[GM]: Anval is reading the words aloud.
[Anval]: Anne tries saying the words "Veridon Augmena" in bad old Haddin - in fact, its probably nothing like the langauge - but she's trying...
[Jackdaw]: and looks at the back side
[ Ghostmoon left the game ]
[GM]: The words that Anval says echoes in the hallway .... but nothing seems to happen.
(GM whispered to Jackdaw): You are on the other side.
[Anval]: VERidon AugMENa? verIdon AUGmenA?
(GM whispered to Jackdaw): Didn't you move the glowstone ahead 50yds?
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): what's the back like?
(GM whispered to Jackdaw): The same
[Anval]: VeeriDOON AugmenA?
(GM whispered to Jackdaw): No writing.
[Anval]: I dunno... it was just a try everyone...
[Jamison]: Weel, if we can get around it... let's give it a shot...
[GM]: Dirk squeezes around the stone on the other side.
[Anval]: No one really knows how to speak Old Haddin anymore... Its a shame, really.
[GM]: Sir C has a little problem.
[ Ghostmoon joined the game ]
[GM]: Sir C seems to be stuck.
[GM]: Sir C: Can someone give me a push?
Jackdaw pulls on Sir C
[Anval]: Ann gives Sir C a push
[GM]: Sir C makes it through.
[Anval]: Anne tries to make it through
[GM]: Lendyll flies around the stone on the other side.
[Jamison]: Go ahead, Anne
[GM]: Anne has no problem.
[Jamison]: Thomas...
(Thomas whispered to GM): Sorry, Having problems here..
(GM whispered to Thomas): thomas???
(GM whispered to Thomas): okay
Thomas attempts to squeeze by...
[GM]: Thomas makes it by the stone fine.
[Jamison]: Jamison follows...
[GM]: The passageway continues on .. the same ... but there is a glowstone hovering in the air 50yds ahead... showing an intersection.
[Anval]: Well Dirk? Which way should we go?
[GM]: Dirk moves slowly towards the glowstone.
[GM]: Dirk: Lets have a look at that intersection.
[GM]: Everyone follows?
[Anval]: I do
[GM]: Marching order?
[Anval]: Lets get Sir C near the front again
[GM]: ***: please get in single file on the map .. the way you want to be.
[Jamison]: How is, SC, Dirk, Anne, JD, Thomas, Jamison.. and lendyll whereever is best....
[Anval]: Fine by me
Thomas nods
[Anval]: Sir C should take the lead
[Jamison]: looks good
[GM]: Sir C move to the intersect and reaches the hovering glowstone.
[GM]: It hovers there at the intersection.
[GM]: All passageways appear the same as before.
[GM]: Dirk takes out the map and looks at it.
[Jamison]: does the map show these crossroads, Dirk?
[GM]: ***The map is now valid except that the stone should be in the middle of the intersections.
[GM]: Dirk: yes ... I believe we are here.
[GM]: Dirk points .. not really for anyones benefit but his own.
[Anval]: Which way, Dirk?
[GM]: Dirk: Let's see there should be another intersection just ahead.
[GM]: There is no noise except the echoes of the noise that the party is making.
[GM]: Dirk: Straight ahead.
[Anval]: Let's go then?
Jamison checks behind the party... and listens carefully
[GM]: Sir C: follow me
(GM whispered to Jamison): Don't see anything.
(GM whispered to Jamison): Or hear anything.
[Anval]: Anne follows
[Jamison]: Let's continue on...
[GM]: Dirk follows Sir C
[GM]: Sir C cautiosly advances.
Thomas follows, his eyes look to the right and left.
[Anval]: Anne waits for Dirk to advance
Jamison looks down both hallways as he passes, and listens carefully
[GM]: ***Anyone have accute hearing?
[Jamison]: no
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): alertrness
[Thomas]: [No]
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): perception 15
(Anval whispered to GM): Lendyll might
(To GM) DICE for Jackdaw: (3d6) : 3d6=6,6,2 = [ 14 ]
[GM]: Lendyll listens.
[GM]: Lendyll: Does anyone hear that?
(Anval whispered to GM): Do eelyll have acute hearing racially? I'm not sure.
[Thomas]: [BRB]
[Anval]: Hear what lendyll?
[Jamison]: What do you hear
[GM]: Lendyll: It's almost like a faint tapping.
[GM]: Lendyll: very .. very faint .....
[Jamison]: From what direction?
[Anval]: Probably just dripping water...
[GM]: Lendyll: Perhaps that is it.
[GM]: Lendyll smile.
[GM]: Lendyll: I can not tell which direction, Jamison.
(GM whispered to Jackdaw): You think you hear it too ... but it is very faint.
[Jamison]: Let's move on cautiously...
[Anval]: Thomas, jamison... Are you two coming? We don't want to get split up! (Anne says this in a stage whisper)
[Jamison]: ooops
[GM]: Sir C reaches the next intersection and you hear him gasp.
Jamison prods Thomas to move along...
[GM]: Sir C stops moving and appears to be looking at something.
[Anval]: Anne rushes to Sir C's side
[GM]: For Sir C
DICE for GM: (3d6) : 3d6=5,6,6 = [ 17 ]
[Anval]: What is it that you see Sir Knight?
[GM]: Anne sees it too now.
[GM]: Dice for Dirk
DICE for GM: (3d6) : 3d6=1,5,4 = [ 10 ]
[Jamison]: What's going on up there?
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): I had intended to keep the glowstone ahead of us but we might be overtaking it
(GM whispered to Anval): Skulls ... as far as you can see.
[Anval]: Skulls - hundreds - maybe thousands of them!
(GM whispered to Anval): The walls of the intersecting passageways are made of skulls ....
[Anval]: Creepy!
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): was the tapping sound from down one of the last passages we passed?
[GM]: Jackdaw and Anne ... Fright check please at a +2 bonus.
[Anval]: Ugh! The walls are made of skulls too... Some foul necromancer is making or has made this place their home....

(Jackdaw whispered to GM): human?
DICE for GM: (1d6) = [ 2 ]
[GM]: Sir C is stunned by the sheer vastness of the walls.
[GM]: The Eastern walls of the intersecting passagways are made of skulls.
[Anval]: Anne, being used to Funerary places, moves ahead to take the lead, giving Sir C time to recover
[GM]: From the floor to the ceiling ...
[GM]: They form an unusually grewsome sight.
(Anval whispered to GM): Anne casts Sense Spirit (skill 13)
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): was the tapping from the last crossinG?
[GM]: Frigth Checks are at +4 now.
(GM whispered to Jamison): Yes ... you don't hear it now.
(To GM) DICE for Anval: (3d6) : 3d6=2,1,2 = [ 5 ]
(Jamison whispered to GM): Does that mean the tapping stopped?
(GM whispered to Anval): You sense a tremendous amount of spirits all around .... and they are AWARE of you.
[Anval]: There may be restless spirits near all this death... Hold a moment while I commune and see if we are in peril!
[Jackdaw]: new fright checks? and is it a bonus to making it or a penalty against?
(GM whispered to Anval): Another Fright Check at +4 please.
[Anval]: Everyone - Ready your weapons!
(To GM) DICE for Anval: (3d6) : 3d6=2,5,6 = [ 13 ]

(GM whispered to Anval): They dont appear to be threatening.... just aware.
[Anval]: We are surrounded by spirits - spirits that KNOW we are here!
(GM whispered to Anval): And they are coming from the walls.
(GM whispered to Anval): The wall of skulls.
[Anval]: It would be best to be on our guard - they are coming from the walls!
[Jackdaw]: "Are the spirits friendly?"
[Anval]: Wait a moment... Anne concentrates and casts another spell
Thomas draws his blade, although he does not know what good it will do agianst the restless spirits..
[GM]: Thomas and Jamison are almost out of sight of the rest of the party.
(Anval whispered to GM): sense foes (skill 13)
(To GM) DICE for Anval: (3d6) : 3d6=4,2,3 = [ 9 ]
[Thomas]: [But we can hear Anval telling us to draw are weapons, correct?]
[GM]: ***If you cast spells, please tell me how much you made it or missed it by .... and thanks to those of you who are doing it.
(GM whispered to Anval): They mean you no harm.
[Jamison]: Do you need help, Anne?
(Anval whispered to GM): succed by 4
[Jamison]: Is everything alright?
Jamison draws his weapon..
[Anval]: I don't think so Jamison... These spirits mean us no harm... but we ARE being watched.
[GM]: *** Jamison and Thomas needs to make a fright check now.
[Anval]: Dirk, which way do we go?
DICE for Thomas: (3d6+4) : 3d6=6,4,6 = [ 20 ]
[GM]: Sir C is shaking it off.
(Jamison whispered to GM): +4=16
[GM]: ***The +4 was a bonus.
(To GM) DICE for Jamison: (3d6) : 3d6=3,5,6 = [ 14 ]
[GM]: Jamison and Thomas are fine.
(Thomas whispered to GM): [Wait...-4 correct?...Then I got a 12..What am I checking against?]
[GM]: Sir C: I have seen many sights in my life .... many corpses, but .... nothing like this.
(GM whispered to Thomas): vs IQ ... you made it.
[Jamison]: Let's move on...
[GM]: Sir C feels very cold.
[Anval]: As soon as Dirk tells us where we are going!
(Thomas whispered to GM): This has been a bad night, I appologize. I have to run my brother's friend home...Ill brb...
[Jamison]: Lendyll, can you still hear the tapping?
[GM]: Let's get away from here.
(GM whispered to Thomas): No Prob
[Jamison]: Which way, Dirk?
Jackdaw looks down the passage
[Jackdaw]: and studies the skulls
[GM]: Lendyll: The tapping is ... gone now.
(GM whispered to Jackdaw): Skulls as far as you can see ... and they appear to be almost .... moving.
[GM]: Sir C moves down the passageway away from the sight of the wall.
[GM]: ***Btw: Sir C got a critical failure on his Fright Check ... Just about the only way one could fail it.
[GM]: Dirk looks at the map again.
[GM]: Dirk: Yes ... I know where we are.
[Jamison]: Anne should be right with SC now, with Dirk giving directions for travel
[GM]: Dirk: There is a room ahead.
(GM whispered to Jackdaw): Another perception roll please.
Jackdaw looks more closely, are they moving?
[Jamison]: Head forward...
[Anval]: Very well... Sir C? Shall we explore this room while the others advancE?
[GM]: Lendyll moves up to behind anne
(To GM) DICE for Jackdaw: (3d6) : 3d6=3,2,1 = [ 6 ]

(GM whispered to Jackdaw): You feel the hair stand up on the back of your head ... but you shake it off.
(GM whispered to Jackdaw): Sorry .... cant tell.
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): touch a skull
[GM]: The passageway opens into a large room.
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): is it firmly fixed or loose?
(GM whispered to Jackdaw): Firmly fixed.
(GM whispered to Jackdaw): It feels very cold.
[Anval]: Anne looks around Carfully
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): whisper to the skull "how can I help you?"
[Jamison]: move forward all, let'me see....
(GM whispered to Jackdaw): Please roll a will roll.
(To GM) DICE for Jackdaw: (3d6) : 3d6=1,4,5 = [ 10 ]
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): made it by 3
Jamison looks to JD "Don't fall behind..."
(GM whispered to Jackdaw): It's like it tried to take possesion of you.... you lost consciousness for a mere second.
[Jackdaw]: the glowstone has stopped moving but hovers in the air
(Thomas whispered to GM): [Back]
(GM whispered to Jackdaw): But it didn't feel extremly hostile.
(GM whispered to Thomas): Didn't miss much.
[Jamison]: Is it in the Big room/
(Thomas whispered to GM): Okay..
[Jamison]: ?
Thomas pushes ahead...
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): try another skull ask it what it needs
[GM]: The room is roughly 15yd x 15yd
(To GM) DICE for GM: (3d6) : 3d6=4,1,6 = [ 11 ]

[Jamison]: What who wants?
[Jackdaw]: made it by 2

[Jackdaw]: what the skulls want
(GM whispered to Jackdaw): It says .... help me
Jamison nudges JD...."Are you ok?"
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): to skull "How?"
[Jackdaw]: They are asking for help!
[Jackdaw]: but i don't know what they need
Thomas slides in behind Anne...
[GM]: Inside the room the floor is slightly raised in the center with something of a podium on it ... holding a book.
[Jamison]: Let's go forward and ask Anne if she might know...
[Jackdaw]: Ok, they can't seem to tell me
Thomas appraises the situation..."Hmm..."
[GM]: Dirk looks around while looking at the map closely ..... it is just as the map says.
[Anval]: Anne tries to get a better look at the book... Does it look like a Holy Text?
Jamison looks at the skulls, curiously....
[Anval]: (Can Clerics detect sanctity like mages detect magic with Magery?)
(GM whispered to Anval): You cant tell ... need to get closer.
(GM whispered to Anval): Yes
(GM whispered to Anval): Roll vs IQ
[Jackdaw]: "OH, Anne!"
[Anval]: Guys - I'm going to check out the book - cover me, Ok?
Thomas looks keeps an eye on both the book and the preistess...
[Jackdaw]: "Can you tell me how to help the skulls?"
[Anval]: Huh? just a minute Jackdaw...
(GM whispered to Anval): +1 for PI
[Thomas]: "I would suggest against touching it or moving it...It may be trapped..."
(To GM) DICE for Anval: (3d6) : 3d6=6,1,6 = [ 13 ]
(Anval whispered to GM): succed by 2
(GM whispered to Anval): I has a feel of sanctity.
[Anval]: (in a hushed voice) "This book has an aura of Holiness!"
(GM whispered to Anval): Roll vs Theolgy please.
(To GM) DICE for Anval: (3d6) : 3d6=3,5,1 = [ 9 ]
[Anval]: succeed by 8
Thomas shrugs "Just a word of caution...I would not have left something such as that unguarded..."
[Anval]: Thomas, if we decide to remove the book, I will gladly have you check for traps!
(GM whispered to Anval): It is a very old Sanctum Ral .... You have seen one exactly like this preserved in the Great Church where the Lord Patrona resides.
Jamison moves into the room
Thomas smiles "Alright."
(Anval whispered to GM): So is this a great treasure to retrieve for the faithful, or a sacrosanct item to be left safe in the tomb?
(GM whispered to Anval): It would be worth a fortune .... in money and religious imortance.
(GM whispered to Anval): Roll vs Theology
(To GM) DICE for Anval: (3d6) : 3d6=6,4,2 = [ 12 ]
(Anval whispered to GM): succeed by 5
Jamison moves to look around the room for other enterances...
Jackdaw looks at the walls, any sku
[Jackdaw]: skulls
(GM whispered to Anval): It was set here to help the lost souls that wander in this area.
(GM whispered to Anval): As a blessings for them.
(Anval whispered to GM): It would be best then, to leave it...
[GM]: There is an entrace to a passageway on each wall.
[GM]: There are no skulls on these walls.
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): how high is the ceiling in the room
Jamison mooves to the enterance at the top and listens....
[Anval]: Although I believe this book would be of value, I think it was set here as a blessing for the lost souls wandering these catacombs... I think we should leave it alone...
[Anval]: Jackdaw!? What was that about skulls?
[GM]: The ceiling which has been a 8ft in the passageways now rises to 12ft in this room
[Jackdaw]: "What can I do tO HEL
[Jackdaw]: ?""They keep asking me to "Help Me" "
[Anval]: How did you speak to them?
[Thomas]: "Hmm...I sure no harm can come from reading the open page without disturbing it...Unless you reconize the book..."
[GM]: Sir C appears to be examining a pile of rubbish on the floor.
[Jackdaw]: "What can I do to help them?
[Anval]: The book is an old Sanctum Ral... It is very rare, but holy and should be left undisturbed for the spirits of the tombs...
[Jackdaw]: "I just talked and listened
[Anval]: SHow me..
[Anval]: Anne goes back to the skull wall... "If you must read from the book, please wait for my return!
Jamison notices SC's examination....." What do you have there SC?"
[GM]: Sir C looks up at Jamison.
Thomas shrugs "Alright, you're the boss." He begins to look around the far eastren wall of the chamber...
[Jackdaw]: were the voices whis
(Anval whispered to GM): Anne tries to hear the voices JD said he heard...
[GM]: I thought it a pile of rubbish.... but there are bones as well ... perhaps some unfortunatate who were trapped down here.

(Jackdaw whispered to GM): were the voices whispery?
[Jackdaw]: Right here, listen closely
(GM whispered to Anval): You think you hear a whisper ... but you are not sure.
(Anval whispered to GM): She removes her helmet and listens closer
Jackdaw talks to a skull "What do you need?"
(GM whispered to Anval): That does not make a difference.
[Jamison]: Where's Lendyll, maybe she can tell us something about these bones...
(Anval whispered to GM): She casts sense emotion - 13
(To GM) DICE for Anval: (3d6) : 3d6=6,1,6 = [ 13 ]
(Anval whispered to GM): sucess by 0
(GM whispered to Anval): There is an emotion of torment eminating from this wall.
(GM whispered to Anval): ....and pain
(Anval whispered to GM): Would the Sanctum Ral act as a sacred vessel, allowing me to cast "Final Rest" on these tortured souls?
[GM]: Everyone in the big room give me a hearing roll please.
(GM whispered to Anval): Roll vs Theology.
(To GM) DICE for Thomas: (3d6) : 3d6=3,4,1 = [ 8 ]

[Jackdaw]: ooc plus acute hearing and alertness
(GM whispered to Thomas): Thomas ... you think you hear a whisper ... very faint.

[Jamison]:
DICE for Jamison: (3d6) : 3d6=2,4,1 = [ 7 ]
[Anval]: Jackdaw, follow me... Thomas! I will need your help after all!
[GM]: Lendyll stops from moving toward the southern exit and moves toward Sir C.
[GM]: Sir C: Jamison .. did you say something?
[Anval]: Anne calls out to the group... Those spirits I sensed,,, they are in great pain...
Thomas draws his blade and runs over to the preistess...
(GM whispered to Jamison): You heard something like a faint whisper
(Jamison whispered to GM): From where?
[Anval]: I can lay them to rest, but first I need the Snactum Ral from the podium... I believe
[Anval]: that it will hold enough holy energy to allow me to lay their tortured souls to rest!
(Thomas whispered to GM): Are preistess called Sisters or another formal title here...Or just priestess..
(GM whispered to Jamison): From Sir C's direction.
Jamison moves towards SC...
[Anval]: So... could you check it for traps and such, as you warned me?
Jamison stops on the other side of the bones from SC...
Thomas nods "That I can do..."
(GM whispered to Thomas): Either would be appropriate.
Thomas procedes over to podium, taking a general look at the podium without touching it first...
[GM]: Lendyll to Sir C: I hear someone whisper .... I thought it was you?
[GM]: Sir C: I heard it too .... I thought it was Jamison.
(GM whispered to Thomas): Stone podium ... with a book.
[Jamison]: I heard something also.... and it came from near SC...
(To GM) DICE for Thomas: (3d6) : 3d6=4,2,2 = [ 8 ]
(Thomas whispered to GM): Passed by 1
DICE for Jackdaw: (3d6) : 3d6=1,5,6 = [ 12 ]
Thomas takes a closer look at the book and podium..
(GM whispered to Thomas): You see nothing odd about either.
Jackdaw looks at what Sir C is looking at
Thomas looks over to Anne "Sister Anne, I dont see any obvious traps...I looks safe..."
[Thomas]: [I=It]
(GM whispered to Thomas): Book is in the middle on the raised area.
[Anval]: Thank you Thomas... Everyone, be on your guard...I will pick up the book in a moment...
(GM whispered to Jackdaw): A pile of rubbish and bones
[Anval]: "Ral, protect us in this act, that we may commit no sacrilege!"
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): what kind of bones
Thomas steps back and lets the priestess do her work...He steps back a bit...
[Anval]: Anne picks up the book
(GM whispered to Jackdaw): human
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): a skull?
Jamison looks around...
[GM]: Everyone hearing rolls please
(To GM) DICE for Anval: (3d6) : 3d6=3,3,2 = [ 8 ]

Thomas has his blade drawn, just in case.
(To GM) DICE for Thomas: (3d6) : 3d6=2,6,6 = [ 14 ]
