Having already triggered the spear that was rigged to the door, no further traps are apparent. This spacious yet spartan living chamber appears to have been undisturbed for centuries. Simple furniture - a bed, a desk, and some shelves - has been arranged tidily around the room. Lying on the bed, eyes closed, hands clasped over his chest, is a human figure dressed in white robes. Unlike the other acolytes you have encountered, he appears very much alive, just in a deep sleep.

Theo
"This is probably the last thing I was expecting to see." He glances at Viaya "I suppose we know how to wake him up, I'm not sure that we should though. Does that key fit anything in this room?"
Theo looks through the desk to see if there is any additional information to be found.
Zakon is taken aback at the sight of the figure in repose. He had assumed that whatever had turned the others into zombies had done the same with anything else here. "Do we want to just wake him up? Not knowing what he might do? Perhaps we could bind him somehow before we try to awaken him? Just in case?" Zakon asks.
Looking through the desk, you find a few odds and ends; the unfinished letter here or there, a few notes scribbled hastily on paper, etc. From these readings, you can glean that this is Kymel, who serves as a sort of second-in-command of the temple and sometimes personal secretary of the head abbot.

Theo relates what he finds in the desk. "So this guy is Kymel, and he second to the Abbot. I wonder if we are going to find him somewhere in this place?" ((Does Theo learn the name of the Abbot?))
"Viaya and Kelvin, what do you think we should do?"
Theo is wants to go through the rest of the building but wonders if finding the sleeping antidote and then a sleeper was providence, coincidence or a well laid trap. He finds himself whispering just in case.
"I was going to say we should explore first, but perhaps we should wake him. He might have information we can use before something else tries to kill us?" Zakonsays. "We can restrain him first, then wake him, and then ask questions. What do you think?" Zakon asks, looking at his companions.
(( I never heard from Kelvin or Viaya. At this point I'm fine with anything as long as we are doing something. Let's wake him up if you want. We've spent so long in this temple that I'd like to finish it and get to the npc kid that's asleep.))
Zakon eyes the man warily. "I suppose if he's slept this long, whatever we do won't wake him," he says. He nods towards Theo. "Let's explore the rest, then come back."
((So sorry for vanishing on you guys! Life has been really crazy recently and my laptop took a crap on me so I've just been able to get back to this. I really want to keep going with you all if I'm still welcome to do so.))

Going over to the last room, there really isn't much of interest. It is almost identical to the room with the sleeping man in it. However, there is no one sleeping in this room. There is, however, a skeleton lying just inside the doorway, a spear, very similar to the one that stuck out at Zakon when he attempted to open the other door, having gone through the ribcage. It seems your group is not the first to have tried to have searched this temple.

Viayais intrigued by the sleeping man but doesn't speak up either way about whether or not they should try waking him. She isn't sure herself and figures that clearing the rest of the rooms on this floor should be their first priority. She isn't in much of a mood for more surprises. Once they find the last room empty however, outside of the unlucky dead man, it seems there's little else to do. "We should try waking him." She says, peering over Zakon'sshoulder at the empty room beyond. "You were right before. He might know something more about what's happening than we do. And it'd be a good way to test the antidote we found."
(Thanks Wakarusa! I've been missing this, lol. I don't get to play enough as it is so I'm really glad to be back.))

"I don't know anything about medicine, but waking him up may be the only way we're going to figure out what's going on here," Zakonsays. "Let's go tie him up, then wake him up and see what we can learn. At least more than the last fellow, I hope," he says, jerking his head back towards the skeleton.
"Shouldn't be too hard to learn more than that fellow."Viayareplies, wry smile tugging at her lips as she turned back towards the room containing the sleeping man. Swinging her pack around to the front of her body and spending a moment rifling around inside before eventually pulling out the aged piece of parchment containing the antidote recipe. "I might have to go downstairs to make the antidote while you tie him up, Zakon. This calls for five minutes of sunlight for the mixture to set."The elf glanced over her shoulder at their half orcfriend. "You want to come with me Theo?"

Zakon nods at Viaya. "Aye, I'd be next to no use helping with that concoction. I'll tie him and then wait for you to return," he says. He pulls some rope out of his pack and begins tying up the sleeping man.

Zakon is taken aback at the sight of the figure in repose. He had assumed that whatever had turned the others into zombies had done the same with anything else here. "Do we want to just wake him up? Not knowing what he might do? Perhaps we could bind him somehow before we try to awaken him? Just in case?" Zakon asks.
Theo
"I think we should find everything else before we decide on this one. We don't know what abilities he might have if we wake him."
((Theo looked through desk))

Head abbot's name was briefly mentioned when you first looked through all the documents in the scriptorium: Father Elajor.

So, are we in agreement with Zakon's plans or not?

Theo
"Come on, leave him for now. Let's check any other rooms on this floor and see if the key is good for anything, maybe something on the third floor."
((If anyone really wants to wake this guy that's ok with me. I just am trying to get the group going somewhere.))
Zakon eyes the man warily. "I suppose if he's slept this long, whatever we do won't wake him," he says. He nods towards Theo. "Let's explore the rest, then come back."

Theo assists Viaya with the procedure and offer her guidance should she need it.
"Shouldn't be too hard to learn more than that fellow." Viaya replies, wry smile tugging at her lips as she turned back towards the room containing the sleeping man.
