(Ooc: just to make sure we are understanding the rules of our order, are we within our rights and laws to take out this group or is this something Big Ole Asmo would frown upon?)
Taking out a group of priests that directly oppose his new world order? He would be fine with it.
Jengamyr looks regretfully at Petmourne, then raises his rod, and nods to Zin and Drax. Jengamyr casts fireball targeting the group of priests. Dex save 17 or they take 28 half as much on a save.
(Ooc: doing this in synchronization with the other 2 so that the priests are unaware for all attacks)
A flare ignited from Jengamyr’s rod whistles in the air. Loud enough to make the priests turn around but it is too late. The fireball erupts in a quaking explosion, incinerating the four holy men. All is left is scraps, bones, and ash. It’s clear these four weren’t adventurers, just researchers.
Matteo bows his head, and murmurs a prayer that the men's souls should find their way, not to the false god Oghma, but to the Nine Hells and true salvation. He raises his head again, and looks doubtfully at the remains. I doubt there's much to find there, eh?
"We need to move these men off the road" Drax would say still disguised as one of the now charred priests. "It will already be suspicious that there is a large scorched section of road... we need to hide the bodies and get on our way" he would say as he begins dragging the body off the road and into the woods.
"Don't worry about the scorch mark, I will take care of that and the bodies at the same time." Jengamyr says as he casts mold earth to both bury the remains and fix the road.
"There, its as if nothing happened. I wonder what came of that kind group of priests we passed?"
Drax would let out a small smile. "Impressive, Nice work Jenamyr" He would say with a smile. "Let's get out of here quick, We don't want to keep The Cloven waiting" He would say motioning to the others to follow...
It takes just shy of two hours continuing your path until you can see a large complex of buildings in the distance. Three buildings stand tall close to one smother with blue shingle roofs and smooth exteriors. A smoke stack can be seen coming out of each, blending in with the grey clouds overhead.
OOC: Drax has to re-cast it every so often to keep it up. He would have changed the disguise back to the young nobleman with the baby face before reaching the temple. The hat of disguise lets me cast disguise self regularly at will but it doesn't make it last longer I don't think. So yes, he is in disguise but not as a priest
"So shall we enter stop and visit the temple? I could change back into the priest and tell them we were attacked by wolves and that you three saved me before I suffered the same fate as my companions..." Drax would say to the others. "Or we could continue on our way... But those four men were sent by someone... and if they sent those four... they will send more to stop us"
Matteo frowns. I think Jengamyr has the right of it. We know our Lord's prison is at the top of the mountain, but that might be a large area, too great for us to search quickly. If we can persuade these Faithless priests to tell us what they know - perhaps they can speak of a cursed place they shun, or a place they sense 'evil'. This could guide our steps towards our goal.
As you approach the door you see an elderly dwarf female. Greyed hair kept short, brown linen robes with a golden scroll amulet hanging from her neck. The smell of smoke begins to fill your senses. She smiles “Welcome to the Spirit Soaring, Ohgma’s Blessing upon you. You here for respite, study, or just a story?” Stepping onto the ground each of you get a sharp pain coming from your new finger.
Drax would wince for just a moment before forcing a smile. "I am always up for a story" The young blonde haired noble would say with a smile. "Speaking of stories, We passed a group of priests talking about some dark power or something approaching.. it sounded like a fascinating tale.. you wouldn't happen to know anything a story like that would you?" He would ask with an innocent smile.

"I'm not shy." Jengamyr says as he approaches the remains looking for anything metal that remained through the blast.
14 investigation check
Searching among the remains you find scraps of cloth fabric, destroyed waterskins, and two knives that couldn’t even be considered a dagger.
"Nothing here... guess they didn't even carry weapons. Let's keep moving."
"We need to move these men off the road" Drax would say still disguised as one of the now charred priests.

Petmorn is saddened but not surprised of the results, and takes heart that the men found some kind of a burial.

Jengamyr steps forward to speak with the old dwarf. "Yes, a story and a tour would be delightful."
