Elero notices nothing out of the ordinary in the room. Apart from the bowl caked in ancient blood and the strange murals on the wall.

(If I roll less than 10 Mark will spill his own blood into the bowl. If he roles more than 10 he will leave it alone and walk away. I am also fine retconning if the group is against this action)

I say go for it.  Surely whatever happens can't be bad, right? 

Erix and Elero watch as Mark cuts his hand and spills the blood into the bowl. He looks into the bowl for a moment, but nothing happens, and he seems unchanged.

Only one more door remains, the one with a hallway behind leading east, that the Gnoll was attempting to flee down before.

We go!

We go, and we keep an eye on Mark as we travel quietly, so we don't wake up the troll.

You sneakily enter the short hallway and see three doors, one left, one right, and one straight. You don't hear any sounds from behind any of them, but the one to your right seems to be the most used.

"If you go right, you can't go wrong, or so the saying goes," Elero offers. "I think.  Or maybe one of the others could lead to a less-used way through and an advantage for us.  So, we have options."

Mark will light a torch and will try to burn the troll.

 ?? We arent with the troll anymore right?

Lordy, I hope not.  That thing will murder us all if we wake it up.  If we're with the troll and it's still asleep, Elero will actually try to stop Mark from doing that.  :)

I'll put up a map of your current location. The troll is to the north in area 7, while your currently in the hallway to the east.

Mark will have a dead pan expression and move towards the troll with the flame. 

If we're currently in a different room, Elero will ask Mark where he's going, but if he's going to area 7 to wake up the troll, Elero isn't following.  This may be the end of the Rouge...

Mark's heading into room 7 with the troll, with an apparent intention to attack it. It's up to Elero and Erix what they do: Try to stop Mark? Help him attack the Troll? Leave him to his own devices and continue on? Maybe retreat?

"Damn, it's probably because of that weird bowl," Elero says to Erix, then tries to get the torch away from Mark.

Whatever check that is, let's do it.

Erix Insight: 11

Erix isn't sure what us happening, but thought kiling the troll was a good idea anyway. However when Elero mentions the bowl he understands. He'll follow mark and attack, aswell as his animals, if mark attacks the troll. But not if elero stops mark. 

Mark is marching forth as if on a mission, silent in the empty tomb hallway
