Gil healing! 6 rerolling because of black blood 9 6 8 7 rerolling because of black blood 6
WOW, just enough to get me to full health! I had 2 and got 28 burning all my die....
Black Blood HealingAI, pg. 74
When you roll a 1 or 2 on any Hit Die you spend at the end of a short rest, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll.
As Gil rests against the wall... the black blood of the small Verdan seems to recede a bit into his wounds. Within the time of the short rest... the nearly dead creature looks as good as new.
"Are we all rested now. Right lets head back up towards those stairs and see whats what?"Tibi says. "Oh yes how about we do it quietly and not poke our noses into places they don't belong!
"OK.. I guess I will try to poke a little less..." Gil would say bashfully. "but not like... a lot less. We do still need to collect treasure after all." He would say as he follows behind Tibi.
After your rest you move back into the hallway and up the short stairs. You carefully ease open the door and follow a short hallway that open into another room.
This dry, partially collapsed room contains a stone altar with humanoid skulls and bones piled around it. The top of the altar is covered with dozens of half-melted candles made of black wax, all currently unlit.
"Let's see... altar covered with skulls and bones? Check. Severe black candles? Check. Yup, death cult alright," Darvin remarks, poking at a few of the bones, in case they're covering up anything interesting.
“Tymora save me. Can’t anybody in this lot look with their eyes only - not with their hands or anything else for that matter!” TIbi complains as he gets ready for something to attack them as a result of Darvin poking stuff this time.
"You see? Nothing jumped out at us," Darvin says, smugly. "I'm not about to start lighting candles or anything, lest it be interpreted by whoever as some kind of death ritual, so my vote'd be to move on."
"Yep. Like death. I guess that's to be expected given where we are, though you'd think maybe they'd have wanted to wash their bones before setting up their creepy ritual alter. Oh well. Onward?" Darvin replies.
short is fine!
Ok, go ahead and hit short rest on the character sheets and roll hit dice here if you need to.
OoC: Darvin will recast armor of agathys after the rest using the pact slot he recovered, for a net effect of... nothing!

Darvin nods. "Onward! But, y'know, quietly!"

Whistler sits down and rests, closing his eyes and just focusing on himself.
When they are ready to leave, Whistler follows suit and treads carefully.
Stealth: 24

Darvin looks back at Tibi and grins like a toddler gleefully defying their parents.

Darvin pokes at the bones, but nothing happens.

Whistler just keeps his eyes peeled for anything that might be trying to get the jump on them.
Gil would inspect the skulls and investigate the alter, looking for anything of value as well as any types of secret doors or hidden items.
Investigation! 18
(OOC: OH NO I stabbed myself in the eye with a bone!)
Gil finds nothing of interest in his inspection.
"Well this room stinks..." Gil would add as he shrugs to the group.
"Yep. Like death. I guess that's to be expected given where we are, though you'd think maybe they'd have wanted to wash their bones before setting up their creepy ritual alter. Oh well. Onward?" Darvin replies.

Whistler nods and leads the way onwards.
