Murgar

Acknowledges the shrine as he enters, then he begins to move about and explore the room. Giving careful attention to chandeliers, particularly what suspends them: is it chain or rope? If safe he'll look at the items on the table and in the alcoves, he won't disturb any of it.

Lharzin moves with reverence to the old stone, reaching out to touch the stone altar.

(What is the relationship between these old kings and the current king of Azadmere?)

Ingram heads for the closest door opening to the north and peeks inside.

Algrim checks out the altar.

Beryl

Seeing that everyone is searching, he will look for secret doors.

Arngeir searches about the collapsing tables. He finds mostly bronze table ware, some dented from falling to the floor when the table it was on collapsed. But, he does find a book, wrapped in deer hide that has held up fairly well. The book is made of very thin copper sheets and appears to have been written in the runic script, which Arngeir recognizes. But whatever the language is he doesn't recognize it and is unable to read the contents.

Murgar examines the chandeliers. They are suspended by fine bronze or copper chains. Still usable they are made of antlers with places carved to hold candles probably. Although he notes that the place where candles would be placed is a spherical indentation and not flat.

Lharzin's talent fails (she now has 3 fatigue points).

Lharzin and Algrim examine the altar. It was clearly made by a true master of their craft. Impressive in its detail. The floor in front of the altar has been worn smoother than the rest of the floor. There is a dust covered jade bowl, about 12" in diameter in frobt of the altar, it is empty but you both know it would be for offerings to Siem and/or Sereniel. You have no way to confirm it but suspect that the alcove, altar and area in front of it are consecrated ground.

Ingram looks through the first open doorway leading north and discovers a kitchen.

Beryl searches the perimeter of the room for secret doors. He finds none, but does note that many of the alcoves contain items, often wrapped in cloth or leather of one sort or another.

Beryl

Beryl will check out these alcove items that are wrapped in cloth or leather.

Arngeir

Arngeir heads over to Beryl and hands him the book

"Found this. Know runes, but not words, Is written in Khazdul, yes?"

He will help Beryl search the alcoves, but will do so respectfully.

Beryl

Beryl will try to read them

[_1d100]=(81)=81 (If it is Runic Script he has an 83)

"Nobody touch that jade bowl," instructs Lharzin, pointing to the offertory before the altar. She goes over to help Beryl respectfully triage the belongings of the long-dead.

No role needed in this case as you are fluent and it isn't complicated or difficult to understand material. If it head been you would roll against the lower of your script or language score.

The book is a lodge journal. It appears that whoever visited the lodge would note the date, weather conditions, and who was in the hunting party. In most cases but not all it they would also make some personal note such as "Durin slayed a mighty stag. Much celebration tonight and work in the morning." The journal covers the last 23 years of the lodges use but it is obvious that it was not the first journal. It is also obvious that this was a royal lodge as the last king of Kiraz was the most frequent visitor. The last entry is dated in TZ 120, the year of the "Carnage of Kiraz". It doesn't mention anything about Lothrim, gargun, or sealing Kiraz. It looks like it was last used just before those events.

Ingram searches the kitchen for anything edible.

Murgar

As they need many things he will join the search through the alcoves. Handling the packages with care.

Algrim will assist in searching the little private alcove rooms.

The search of the alcoves reveals mostly common items that a traveler would have with them. Much of it is in poor shape as it is 500+ years old. But some is in remarkably good shape and Khuzdul favor many materials that "age" well. I will detail the most valuable/interesting.

Jar of honey (you think, anyways)
Three clay pipes & a pouch of pipeweed (very dried up)
Pot of spice (probably, may not be usable)
Tanned deer hide (poor shape)
Pot of Tharin’s Rock Salt (looks to be still good)
Pot of ink and quill (dried up)
Dozen large iron spikes
Stone hand mill
Tin flute in a leather tube
Kitchen knife
Hammer & chisel
Two beeswax candles
Polished quartz (may be a worry stone)
Leather belt with silver buckle
Ivory hair brush
Small lock box and key (fair shape, empty)
Dagger and sheath (no signs of rust on the dagger)
Pouch (dry rot) of silver coins (37d)
True silver ring (Platinum)
Pewter goblet (dented)
Pouch with 24 Acorns (pouch dry rotted, acorns in excellent shape)
Gold nugget (½ ounce)
Amber (1 ounce)
Khuzdul Lightstone (crystal, equivalent to a lantern) in a black velvet pouch (pouch is intact and shields the light until opened)

Algrim takes the Khuzdul Lightstone "This'll be handy ta have."

Arngeir

Arngeir will pick up the acorns and try his psychometry on them to see if they are special:

Percentage: [1d100]=75

Oh well, CF.

"Well, it is gopd to have some supplies," comments Lharzin. "Our day trip left us crossing all of Harn... i could use a hairbrush and cooking utensils."

I was going to ask Arnegir to do psychometry on them as well. After that's resolved, she would like the acorns for her plant-based grow magic.
"See what you can make of that dagger as well, Arnegir. "

She will pick up:
Rock Salt
Hand mill
Kitchen knife


She checks out the honey and spices to see if they are usable.
