The adventurers make their way down the length of the chamber, carefully watching for anything of interest.
Aric moves down the center aisle,
Wil takes to the left side,
Osprey scouts to the right, and
Phineaes treads lightly behind.
Hex pauses to ensure the door is secure before venturing beyond the threshold. He then makes his way to the nearest plinth where he is joined by
Kragg. The halfling and dwarf stop to inspect the monuments, finding them inscribed with names that apparently correspond with their respective saints.
Saint Caldin - The Lightbringer,
Saint Isthil - The Leafspeaker, and
Saint Thos of the Arch are just a few such names learned.
Aric's torchlight finally reaches the far end of the room, revealing a raised altar standing upon a 2’ high dais. Intricate scrollwork covers its front and sides. Upon the altar is an offertory bowl, an incense burner, and a bronze idol of Lunia.
Four silver candlesticks sit at each corner of the altar, covered in dried wax, and housing half-burnt candles. In the center of the altar there is a shallow, bowl-like indentation filled with a clear, viscous-looking substance.
After assessing the statues and nooks on the left-hand side of the chamber,
Wil finds nothing but cobwebs, dust, and debris.
Osprey completes his inspection of the rows of statues to the right, and at the base of the wall behind the last statue, he notices a 2’x3’ fissure. The opening does not appear to be man-made, and a soft, yellow glow emanates from within its recesses.
