Pitero/Andulra: You follow Brida into the temple where you immediately see Darik and Saarebas in an alcove in the for way!! Brida rushes to them medicine 21. Realizing they've been parazlyized by an enchanted she casts lesser restoration on both!
Darik & Saarebas: you come to after nearly an hour unconsciousness!
Erevan: The ash piles are a mystery to you. Roll perception check? Aldaryn the says they could be in the crypt leaving the library, where you notice no other exits, going back into the chapel.
Erevan: (the crypt that Aldaryn knows of is in entirely different part of the temple) There are several druidic spell books in the library and combined with the 'remade' symbols you are getting the impression the temple was built much earlier than the unification under Chauntea. Although you did not hear Brida, Pitero, and Andulra enter they are now in the temple when you and Aldaryn exit the chapel, still flickering with arcane crypts, into the corridor. They are also joined by Darik and Saarebas getting to there feet!
Finally joined together do you exchange the events both group experienced separately while you were apart as well as with those who were unconscious?

Yes, Erevan quickly relates what he saw in the chapel and library to the others. (Illusory sarcophagi in the chapel, symbols to Chantea superimposed over druidic symbols, druidic tomes in the library, ash piles everywhere, not a soul in sight.) "Oh, and walk around that salt circle on the floor..."
Andúlra tells the other what she has seen since they split apart. The Druid symbols in the trees and finding a few villagers in the hidden room under the door in the barn.
The glowing stone and how they left the two kidnappers in the cage at the farm.
Then she tells them about the mysterious piles of ash. She asks if anyone knows what they could be.
Andúlra walks out of the temple to a pile of ash. She picks up a handful and begins to investigate. She wonders if it is a villager or an item used in the village. The placement of the piles is intriguing to her.

"Andulra, I noticed the druid symbols at the Tierney farm when we left here a week ago, at the time I brushed it off to the druiic ties Brida's family has." Erevan then casts Message so only Andulra can hear the rest "also, Aldaryn doesn't seem to notice all the same things I have seen, has that happened with Brida too?"
Andulra: As you look at the ash in your hand you realize that upon closer examination it is in fact the disintegrated remains of several people from some sort of magic energy. Then the realization hits you, ALL the piles are! Then over the chatter of your group relating their recent trials you hear the faintest sounds of voices coming from the left of the temple, down a long darken corridor.

Pitero listens closely to events which brought the others to this place. He nudged Brida. "Let's find the answers you said we might find. This whole environment is unsettling to me." He looks around the chapel, wondering suddenly if this place was truly a holy sanctuary, in disbelief at the carnage.

After Andulra relays her horrific finds you can only pray more villagers are hidden elsewhere in the temple and village.
Pitero: Although you recognize the symbols of Chauntea throughout the temple they do overlap existing druidic symbols but you do not recognize them exactly. You know that Chauntea herself would be angry at this desecration of her temple and would seek swift justice against those who committed the acts! As for survival check what are you hoping to discover?
In the corridor towards the mess hall and kitchens you all hear the sounds of movement and voices. Do you investigate?
Brida seems torn she asks Aldaryn whom she embraces if he's seen her father or Sir Ballen. He says no and they then proceed towards the mess and kitchen.
Who's checking for traps?

OOC: Sorry, should have been specific. Checking for evidence of animals or plants which might have been used or invovled, or tracks which could indicate any evidence of what's happened.

Pitero/OOC: For me survival checks are for: check to follow tracks, hunt wild game or fish, guide your group through frozen wastelands, identify signs that owlbears live nearby, predict the weather, or avoid quicksand and other natural hazards etc..; you're talking about a nature check to find animals and plants in the temple? Either way you see no animal or plant remnants in the corridor leading towards the kitchen/mess hall and dormitories.
Erevan: You see no traps ahead of you so far but you do hear the voices. They now are coming from two directions towards the party. They are hushed but ahead coming from the mess hall/kitchens and the dormitories the original party slept in the first time was in Carrowkeel.
Where is the party heading? Brida and Aladaryn are moving towards the mess hall/kitchens where the sounds of hushed voices were coming.

"Ugh, that wasn't pleasant. Hopefully, there are no more traps like that around."
On the inside, Saarebas is swearing up a storm about being knocked out like that but chooses not to voice anything like that within a holy temple.
