Khessa approaches and tries to see if a a simple cleansing spell (even cast multiple times, if necessary) can at least make the bloodstains disappear. Normal blood should be cleaned...
The blonde arcane warrior turns to Clarac: "Do you think you could reconsecrate this altar quickly? Or would it be a lengthy process?"
"To reconsecrate the altar properly is beyond my power, and perhaps would inappropriate for one who is not Golgari to do. I can only cleanse it of Evil now," Clarac replies to Khessa. When the bloodstains are cleaned away, Clarac approaches the altar and, as respectfully as possible, moves the heads/skulls to be close together, then drapes a cloth over them.
She also uses her Divine Sense again, and if she detects that the altar is still magically desecrated, casts Dispel Magic or Remove Curse as needed.

OOC:
5th Divine Sense used
You can sense a taint, like curse, by whatever desecrated the alter. You feel a magical energy flow through you, and there is a glow around the alter, then it stands before you clean and new once again. All traces of the dark curse, the eight-pointed star and everything has been cleansed.
[[FYI - I'm still here, but not much to add. With Khessa leading here, Vroxis just stalking along near the back of the marching order like a quiet shadow.]]
"We are about to receive visits ..." Khessa warns everyone, renewing on itself the spell that makes her blurry.
The blonde Arcane Warrior then continues, with Wave of Sorrow firm in both hands, ready to 'welcome' anyone who is coming.
While Khessa casts her spell, Vrox says, "I'll go check." He moves forward and squats down below the rim of the brazier just ahead of them, vanishing entirely in the shadows that it casts. He creeps up the hall to the north quietly and invisibly and the peers into the E-W hallway.
[[OOC: Based on the token size, it looks like those are 10-ft squares on the map. If that's true, Vrox will Dash so that he can reach the E-W hall to the north of them this round, still moving slowly so that he can use stealth.]]
Bonus Action: use Nature's Veil to become invisible until the start of his next turn. Movement: Using ~50-ft of movement (40-ft speed + 40-ft dash, but moving slowly or at 2/3 speed). Moving with stealth: 28, advantage from Shadowfell Brand Tattoo Action: Dash Free Action: Speaking

Khessa pats Clarac on the shoulder: "Excellent work, my friend!"
"Let's move on, then..." The blonde arcane warrior leaves the altar behind and, after a moment of hesitation, leads the party to...
1 = ..the left!
2 = ...the right!
2
(I am going off of to the right as you come out of the area of the alter, placing you facing north) Roll Perception please
Khessa's Perception: 18
You hear the sound of running feet coming your way from where you are now facing.
