OOC: Just trying to find out if they really are passing through a tomb, maybe if it looks like a holy temple they are profaning by stepping through or something like it.
Does Lyra know about old Dwarvish religion or funeral practices? You can roll religion or history but as far as you know it looks like a tomb.
Folzi picks up the satchel and looks inside. Several vials of different colored as well as consistencies liquid, a closed pouch, and a large leatherbound tome. With the satchel in his hands he now sees the body of a dead dwarf Sister of Mercy, cleric of Mielikki, on the other side of the tomb!

Folzi closes the bag and slings it around scross his body. Looking down a sour look comes to the gnome's face when he spots the dead dwarf. "Anyone know this Sister?" He then walks over to Carrigan and shows her the vials. "Got any idea what these can do?"
Thomas will hurriedly end his rather distracted search for another exit and rush over to the fallen Sister.

Carrigan shakes her head looking at the dwarf then shrugs before she starts to look at the vials.
"Healing," Carrigan says curtly she seems annoyed. "Crude," she adds. "But this," she says gleefully snatching up a dark thick sickly looking green liquid filled vial, the others are a watery red, and grins. "This is mine! Elixir of Assurance! Truth juice as Astrid nicknamed it," the halfling adds rolling her eyes. "This is...well it's rather a violent poison to those taking it meant to exact truth. Perfect for interrogation," she explains.
OOC: Drinker takes 2d12 poison damage if a lie passes their lips after consuming. Lasts 10 minute.
Folzi now has four vials of common healing potion 2d4+2 and one Elixir of Assurance.
Cara comes forward looking around curiously at the Sister while Thomas rushes to the Sister's side.
"That's Ulla Wardstone," Cara then says frowning, "she was a healer among the Sisters almost as old as Sister Bhalla," she adds grimacing. "They....they'll pay for this," the young paladin of Sune exclaims fist clenched before she looks to the gnome and halfling. "Please leave her remains unmolested," she adds her tone hard.
Thomas the dwarf has been stabbed repeatedly, which seems odd considering the Chroma-Casters only used magic against you all.

"A mystery to be sure, Carrigan, I would like each of the casters and Haldur to have one of the healing potions, Thomas and I both command healing magic but they do not and I would have them able to use the potions if we are unable to aid them for any reason." Hrain looks over the body for a few moments "I find this all strange, why was she here, and who did this to her, is there any connection to the rest of the events, probably not, but then there is so much uncertainty. As you say Thomas, if the chromatic casters killed her then why the blade, why not a spell to end her more quickly?"
Kneeling down beside the corpse Hrain gently closes her eyes "Despite all this horror I will try to find out who stole your life and bring them to account. You deserve that at least, may the four bless you eternally for your service to them."
"Folzi, was she carrying anything else of use that could give us a clue to what happened here?"

"Hrmpf...," Folzi begrudgingly begins to hand out the potions at the request of the captain. "If you say so, 'Boss'." With the potions distributed (Thomas, Haldur, Lev, Lyra and Folzi keeps one) accordingly he waddles over to the dead body and begins to look for anything else that may give a clue as to her being there.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Unsure if Haldur is in earshot to hear Hrain's dispensation of the healing potions and I didn't want to make an incorrect assumption. However, if he is within hearing distance, Haldur will thank the paladin very much for his consideration.
Seeing the others begin inspecting the unfortunate Sister lying slain in the room, Haldur begins to glance around the area surrounding where the body lay. He was looking for knocked over items, disruptions in the layers of dust, or anything visible that might indicate a struggle and, perhaps, where the killer could have gone next.
Investigation Roll; looking for visible signs of a struggle and potentially footprints in the dust leading away from the body: 6
Hrain raises an eyebrow at Folzi "You wish to keep them all for yourself master gnome, what about your fellows, do they not deserve them? Was that everything in the bag?" The paladin asks looming over the rogue.

"Hey, I did what you asked,"Folzi snaps back at the captain as he looks over the dead dwarf. "And no...There wasn't anything else in the bag but the four healing potions and the vial of poison."He sighs in resignation. "Just used to 'finders keepers'. I suppose I'll wait to change my thinking, huh?"

OOC: Hrain just went all 'dad mode' on Folzi lol! Who's got potions? Thomas is a cleric he shouldn't need one. I would think Leb, Folzi, Haldur, and Lyra!
Haldur looks around an can see a line in the dust on the floor, now full of the various footprints of the party, there is a drag pattern leading to and ending abruptly at a stone wall a few feet from the body. Come to think of it the floor behind is the only egress it seems from this old tomb?!

OOC: Can Thomas tell how long she has been dead? Or what kind of weapon might have been used to stab her?
"Captain? This seems odd. She was not killed by spellcraft, but by numerous stab wounds. Possibly a dagger."

Thomas can tell it's been awhile but he doesn't know exactly when. Her body is cold. The wounds are small and shallow, a dagger perhaps?
