Mome paces periodically and looks threateningly at the rock wall. The rock wall does not appear intimidated. Mome otherwise just rests (OOC: I assume long rest?) and makes small talk since she has the feeling that her pirate-past would not be acceptable for this crowd.
During one of her trips out of the cave, Mome goes to the local temple. After spending some time there and talking with the priests, she feels a lightening of a load on her shoulders (leveling up to 5). She reviews a book of spells and realizes with pleasure that she can read more than before! She reviews her knowledge and strengthens her connection to Olladra and the Traveller. Once back outside, she practice swings and stabs her trident with renewed confidence.
As Zoveldra meditates she feels something shift and her connection to Veldra grows stronger. A deeper knowledge of the techniques of the Open Hand flows into her mind. She gets up to practice this new strike.
Zoveldra seems concerned by the undead orc, moving closer to cautiously examine it. "This...It can't turn on us, can it? Getting bitten by those others was terrible."
"I can control up to four of them without spending resources for the day, they can be dominated by very high level magic of course, but it would be more effective to dominate me."
LANDMOP speaks with the tone of a clinical psychologist. "If this makes you uncomfortable I will dismiss it, but given our track record so far, I would like an insurance policy. Also, I have a contract here that can either allow or deny me animating you, it would be only in emergencies and with the intention to walk you to a priest to resurrect you properly. I have a stack of copies of you're interested"
Mome is visibly perturbed by the undead. "The dead should remain dead. We have enough trouble with the living that those that are gone should stay gone." Mome is nowhere near being a traditional temple priest but does hold some traditional cleric beliefs. "I understand you are trying to assist us, but are there other ways to increase our numbers without violating the dead?"
"While I do not share your sentiment I do understand your discomfort. But, before we dispose of them, please hear me out. I do not believe these orcs inhabit the flesh anymore, and while unsettling I would choose to do something good, with the bodies of those who only wish to sew harm"
Zoveldra crosses her arms with a thoughtful expression. "Hm...If it truly is just controlling the body, not trapping the mind or spirit...LANDMOP, if you were to die, would you be alright with me using your body as a melee weapon until we could revive you?"

After a couple days waiting in this shaft, Zoveldra suddenly hears a noise. When she looks around, she spots a strange sight. A half-elf flying on a broom trying to sneak toward them. What does Zoveldra do?
The half-elf is flying down the shaft toward the door and yourselves. At this point we are going to switch over to the main forum thread for this campaign. Found here:

Over the next couple of days you take a couple of Long Rests while consuming a couple Rations each. You also level up to Level 5!
(Can LANDMOP animate the dead orcs upstairs? If we've got 2 days I should have time and spell slots enough to get up to 4)

LANDMOP can indeed raise the Orc if he has that ability. How do Zoveldra and Mome react to that?

"Yes"
Remind me again who’s keeping a lookout? That person/s can roll a Perception check for me.
((I guess Zoveldra. Perception: nat 20+3))

In fact, what do you all do?
The monk raises an eyebrow and stands, staring up at the half-elf. "Hello. Are you looking for the Bloodskulls as well, or Anric?"
LANDMOP goes and stands protectively between the stranger and her undead minions
OOC - what is the layout of our area? we are near the door that won't open - where is the half-elf?
