//Princes of the Apocalypse\\

Yuron picks up a skull and throws it into the passage. No rocks fall.

"We could probably go this way to get out once we're done in here, looks clear to me."

"Sounds good, lead the way"

Once everyone is ready Yuron will lead the group through the passage we have not gone through that doesn't have any light emitting from it.

(That would be going quite a way back, to where you turned to go see the performing zombies. The only passage that leads onwards is the one that is emitting light.)

Leofir will pick up the 4 shortswords and 4 shortbows, "Anybody need these? We might be able to sell them at least. Thankfully they aren't too dirty." (Whatever is not claimed he will store in his pack)

He will also take the alcohol and water.

"I think we should investigate the light. Just be ready for anything—who knows how many traps this maniac set in this place?"

Orbis moves to follow Leofir, "You are right, We cannot leave anything here unfinished."

Orbis offers a quick prayerful gesture to the souls that once inhabited the bodies and a curse to the soul of this mad lord.

Leofir says to Yuron, tying his hair up, "Would you like to lead on Yuron? I can watch behind you. I've been hit with too many rock traps anyway."

(If I'm scouting instead)

Yuron will lead down the path Orbis and Leofir mentioned buy he would like to try and do it stealthy whole checking for traps.

 18 stealth 2 investigation

You do not see any traps. Yuron sees a crack in the ceiling that looks like a constipated rhinoceros. After walking for a minute, an oval cavern opens around you, forty feet wide and sixty feet long. Dark purple tapestries hang on the walls. At the center stands a pedestal fashioned of severed arms arranged to clutch one another in a cone. Cradled in the uppermost hands is a glowing crystal sphere. A dark sigil with an eyelike slit floats above the sphere.

This is the image you see:

Shaa is not reassured at all. 

The place is big and there are bound to be more surprises. 

I 'll check the place. And look at the sigil more closely, but not to close. 

Insight or Arcana (whatever roll seems more appropriate) 19

(Are we right up the top of the map?)

"Well. That doesn't look inviting..."

Rey looks around at the tapestries, what's depicted on them? He does not move from his spot at the entrance of this room.

Leofir clutches his cloak to his body at the sight of the severed arm altar structure.

"This...cannot be good. I'll look around as well."

As Shaa goes to inspect the sigil, Leofir will check the ground and ceiling where Shaa intends to stand for potential traps as he is completely paranoid. He takes great care to step softly and carefully

Investigation 8

Perception 19

(If there are no traps seen) 

Leofir will then check behind the tapestries to see if they're covering anything noteworthy (secret doors, wall traps, etc)

Perception 5

Seeing Leofir so intent on steps Shaa checks himself and waits for the more experienced companion to give him the go. 

He curses silently for his stupidity.

Yuron will ready and attack on anything hostile looking that pops out while listening for any out of place sounds.

7 insight

Shaa can tell that the image is most likely an illusion. Rey looks at the tapestries which do not have any distinct designs, although the symbol of the eye is embroidered on several of them. Leofir still does not find any traps. There are many niches behind the tapestries. There is food, drink, supplies, clothes, and bedding, as well as 165 silver coins, 78 gold coins and four polished jet gems. Leofir also finds a strange wand in one of the niches, although he fails to find any hidden doors.

As he find the wand, he will say, "Shaa, I don't see traps by the sigil, but perhaps you might be interested in this..." and motions him over to see the wand that he found. 

Leofir then says, "Some coins and gems as well. At least  something for our trouble." He will put the coins and gems into a pouch to distribute later.

Shaa looks at the wand. "I ll be able to determine what it does when I have some time."

Rey would like to gingerly poke the glowing crystal sphere with his axe to see if it's solid, incoporial, if it reacts or otherwise.

"I'm not a magic user, but what do you guys think about this?" Rey says in a low rumbling growl.

As Rey moves his axe towards it, the image of the eye disappears. As he touches the sphere, it drops onto the floor and rolls away, although it continues to emit light.
