Perception: 12 Barrel curses at the darkness in the place as e walks over to the marble basin and searches it. Looking all around it and inside it. Investigation: 4
OOC: I have a couple questions about items. Since Hildi lit a fire using his tinderbox, does that use up his tinder? I know the flint and steel are reusable, but what about the tinder? And if he lights a torch here in order to see, does that use up a torch or does it need to be used for a certain period of time before it is used up?

[DM] For the sake of keeping it simple I just assume you have 4 or 5 pieces of kindling in your box. I also assume that any time you camp you take a little time to forage some more. Describing the lighting of the tinder is basically flavor. If it comes up as a story element that all of your tinder is wet or you're out of tinder because you're in a desert, then I will say as much. Torches are usually a 4-6 hour burn or being lit 3 times, whichever comes first. I'm generally not too worried about tracking it unless is becomes part of the story at which point I will ask you about it, or ask you to start tracking it. Sometimes I might tell you to discard a torch.

OOC: Awesome.
"Bran, what happened to your light? Ah, well. Let me light a torch." Hildigrim uses his tinderbox to light a torch so he can see. While Barrel is inspecting the basin, Hildigrim will enter the chapel to have a look around, especially investigating the altar.

Regardless of whether not the spell works this time, Bran sets about investigating the room, making sure to check out the basin. He's looking for anything interesting, but mostly focused on tomes and texts.
[DM] Everyone please roll initiative. Sorry, should have asked for this earlier. Wasn't quite sure how I wanted to handle it. Once initiative is rolled I will fill you in on more details.
OOC: Is Hildigrim in the chapel with his torch or should this have happened before he had time to do that?
[DM] Basically, everyone got one movement and one action before the surprise attack. I'm typing a post to resolve all of the investigation checks before battle right now.
[DM] Would you all like to use a battle map and tokens in Roll20 for battle? There are some really nice maps for this adventure. We will just theatre of the mind everything else. Let me know. We can just discuss distances and locations if you prefer no maps.

OOC: I haven't gotten my perception check pm yet. Note that I rolled a 15, not 16. I had mistakenly believed that genasi have darkvision.
And that's all I have to say about that.
"Hmm very strange indeed, perhaps I didn't enunciate properly. Let's try again."
Bran taps his wand against his other hand and clears his throat. "Light be Bright!"

Investigation: 8
Arcana/History check on the basin: 11
[DM] Still waiting for a perception check from Bran and a perception check with disadvantage from Carrow.

Carrow lands on the other side of the void, catches his breath and looks around. "Darkness. An ill omen."
Perception (Disadvantage): 11
As he looks around he begins to dig in his pack and attempt to light a torch with his tinderbox.

Bran's initiative: 4
[OOC] Charlie did I get my light spell off with the second attempt, or did the same thing happen again?
PS. I'm putting this d20 in the dice jail. Grrrrr
OOC: Before I roll initiative, can I use my reaction to attack the thing, since I readied my trident?
If so,
IC: Flow stabs straight at the thing, trident wielded in both hands.
"A shadow!" he yells.
Attack: 21 Damage: 4
Initiative: 11
And that's all I have to say about that.
Initiative; 6
