Kragen’s eyebrows grow as Starker describes the two artifacts and their capabilities “Indeed, powerful artifacts of faith Mage Starker! The order that inspired these items were deeply virtuous. This vile fiend must have acquired it by nefarious means. Could have been an artifact from the order of Lathander?”
Kragen moves towards Yartol and Chadwick “Yartol has the right of it, let’s get on with it, the sands of time work against us!”
Starker: <puts rod in backpack, picks up circlet and places it in easily accessible loop on his belt, set Cyrus on EmFer’s Chastisement’s skull> “As always, after you.”
Kragen, Yartol and Chadwick stand at the transition of the finished stone room and a natural cavern. The cavern ceiling rises up an irregular ceiling with deep fissures and stalactites. The height of the ceiling ranges from 20-30 feet or more. The floor slopes downwards and is of new stone. The stone looks to be solidified after being molten. But, Kragen tells you this stone is not normally a magma type stone. It is very unusual for it to be molten. You can see webs covering the ceiling and cavern walls ahead of you. A dim light illuminates the cavern that comes from further ahead. There is a low thrum of power felt here.
The finished stone hallway ends into a natural cavern here. The cavern rises irregularly up an irregular ceiling with deep fissures and stalactites. The height of the ceiling ranges from 20-30 feet or more. There is new stone on the floor. The stone looks to be solidified after being molten. But, Kragen tells you this stone is not normally a magma type stone. It is very unusual for it to be molten. Set into the floor is a stone face, a hand reaching up and a huge sword. The sword hums with Radiance and Thunderous energy. The entire chamber is illuminated by this energy. The face and hand are both cracked with great fissures through them. The sword is shattered into multiple pieces. Rounding the corner of the room by the sword you see that webs cover the ceiling and down the walls of the cavern.
Once Chadwick mentions the feeling of 'being pulled' into this cavern you each become aware of that as well. It is as if something is calling out to you.
Starker quickly burns off the webs seen. No critters discovered.

The sundered sword thrums with Radiant and Thunderous energy. The pieces gleam with light and remain razor sharp. Several pieces are embedded within the stone. One of the larger pieces can be removed you think. It will take some brute strength, or, creativity to do so.
Yartol looks to Starker and replies, "I would prefer moving towards our goal with a minimum of sitting about, if possible."

Kragen gathers the others and tells Chadwick “proceed with caution, something seems odd about how this cavern has formed”

Starker:”Shall I burn the webs off the surfaces ahead of us using a simple cantrip before we meet their spinners?”
Yartol nods, "That seems like a good idea. Take away their hidey places."
<Starker uses Fire Boly ad libitum to burn off the webs before The Company’s stately procession.>
"I feel myself being drawn in the carven." Chadwick mentions as they proceed.
Then deadpan he adds "But not in a good way like for sweet cakes "
“Sir Chadwick, would you like to be protected from Evil provided by the Justice Bringer, prior to continuing?”
Once Chadwick mentions the feeling of 'being pulled' into this cavern you each become aware of that as well. It is as if something is calling out to you.

It wouldn't hurt, but I don't want to burn through too many spells too fast.
Your probably right, let’s conserve it and move forward.

Xymox will take a closer look about the sword fragments. Perception check (24)
The sundered sword thrums with Radiant and Thunderous energy. The pieces gleam with light and remain razor sharp. Several pieces are embedded within the stone. One of the larger pieces can be removed you think. It will take some brute strength, or, creativity to do so.
How big is the face and sword?
Each square is 5’. It is to scale.
The sword could have missing or non-visible components and be up to 30’ long.
