"My name is Elminster but please call me Elle. I am a travelling cleric so please don't hesitate to ask for help if you have any injured because of your recent issues."
Narath will begrudgingly leave the zombie, hearing that they often come here, and knowing that the source of the undead must come from somewhere else on the island. He thanks Ruara and asks a couple of questions.
1. Has she heard of Narath's friend who he heard had possibly come this way?
2. Does she know the source of the undead on the island, or who might be able to point him in the right direction?
Runara thinks and says “Just to the north of here is a wrecked ship I suspect that’s where they’re coming from, as for your friend I think I did see them pass through here not to long ago said something about doing business and exploring the area.”
Narath will clench his fist and smile, "Jahiem! I'm coming my friend." He then turns to the rest, "Well my mission on this island is clear, find Jahiem and put a stop to the zombie's plaguing these 'people'." He looks around at the Kobolds and looks somewhat uncomfortable, but pleased nonetheless.
Runara takes takes you around the place pointing out some locations. A long path leads from the rocky shore up the side of the cliff, with occasional stairs to ease the ascent. Here and there along the lower part of the path, well-tended garden plots hold flowers, herbs, and vegetables. About thirty feet above the bay, the path widens into a long plaza. Halfway along the plaza, a stone statue of a dragon gazes serenely down the path. Six open doorways are cut into the cliff side. ”These open doorways are cells that the residents live in with a bed, nightstand, and the most western one is where you will stay.” She points to a statue representing a dragon ”That statue is the landmark here.” (The cells are A1 on the map and the statue is the star.)
Narath will chat to Runara a bit more to try and get an idea of the place, he wants to know who else lives in Dragon's Rest and what they're doing here.
Elle as you make your way to the temple it’s at the highest point in the cloister is crowned by an open-air temple that overhangs the cliff, supported by arched stone struts anchored to the cliff face. The north wall of the temple is carved directly into the rock, while the rest is open to the sea air. Heavy pillars mark the three open sides, supporting the wooden roof. In the center of the temple stands a stone statue of a kind-looking old man with canaries perched on his hands, shoulders, and head. A feeling of serenity suffuses the place.
Make a religion check as you look around you see a few people praying in front of the statue offering gifts of incense and you catch a few words saying “why are you letting this place suffer what did we do to deserve this?”
As you examine the statue you realize it’s a statue depicting the dragon god Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon, in mortal disguise. Surrounded by seven canaries that represent gold dragons who accompany him on his travels. four cardinal directions hold offerings of incense made to Bahamut.
Elle gives a slight bow to the woman.

"Jodhr, Swagman" *Jodhr says with an offered hand*
nice to meet you Ruara, I am Zouckio called Zooke. his gaze falls back down the path just to make sure nothing is come up the way.

Jodhr makes himself at home, resting his ancient bones while the others explore
You’re free to explore to your hearts content
Elle asks Archimedes to remain on the statue and informed him if anything happens.
"I am going to check out the temple. I will return in a little bit."
With that Elle leaves the group and goes to explore the temple.
Elle is going to the temple is anyone else going to explore or stay here?
Narath will chat to Runara a bit more to try and get an idea of the place, he wants to know who else lives in Dragon's Rest and what they're doing here.

And Narath you may chat with Runara
Does Elle see anyone in the temple and does Elle know anything about the statue?
Elle will walk up to the statue and silently pay his respects.

Narath addresses Runara, "Tell me of the people here Runara, who comes to live in such a place?"
Elle walks next to the person that he heard ask why everything is happening.
"I am sorry for the trials you have had to endure. Have many people died?"
