The Phandalin Chronicles

Rekuburk leans into the tall stone but it only moves slightly.  It isn't until Krom adds his strength that the stone soon topples over revealing the entrance.

The opening beneath the rock reveals a 2-foot-wide spiral staircase with flagstone steps, descending 30 feet.

Following Kazri down you find a number of passageways in multiple directions.  At the edge of your vision you see 3 wispy balls of light bobbing like lantern lights disappearing north, south and west.

Short of the others immediately giving chase, Rhogar actually takes a moment to search memories of any teachings of Vixix that might pretain to such strange lights. Something he might've thought to before, but only in seeing them now remembered to even try given the dangers. "Lady Kazri?" He would asked absently, trusting her to again try to divine their nature as well, if not at least confirm a growing thought.

Arcana: 2+20. (d4 from guidance).

"Yes Mr. Nimbatuul? Oh yes, of course." Kazri uses her Divine Sense on the wispy balls of light.

(OCC: Kazri can use Divine Sense only two more time. FYI)

Chip would follow from behind, holding his bladed lute in his hands as the dancing lights swirl around him. he nod his large scaly head forward and send all but one of them zooming forward in front of the group.. lighting up the path for them. 

Krom follows Kazri inside the barrow, as he sees the strange lights the dwarf tries to recall any information about such creatures (Religion 24).

He will wait for Kazri's reaction and then he will say "I doubt that we will find any friends in this barrow. Beside undead, we should pay attention to the ground, sometimes tombs are filled with traps."  The dwarf will then say to Kazri "Any of those passageway will do, we will have to explore it all in searching for that sword."  

Krom will then chant an hymn of Guidance on Chill "Guide his eyes Moradin! This should help you with traps and secret passages."     

Rekuberk shrugs as the stone moves, keeping his sword ready incase something comes upon them. As the talk of checking the orbs is mentioned he will raise it. "If those things are dangerous we should deal with them."

The noxious odor of the undead fills the senses of Kazri and a moment later both Krom and Rhogar recognize the lights.

Will-o'-Wisps.  

Trapped in desolate places of lost hope and memory these malevolent undead lure other creatures toward dismal fates to feed on their misery.

"Be on your guard my friends. I sense undead ahead." Kazri prepares herself for battle.

Feeling the guidance given to him by Krom Chill slips into the front of the line to act as scout and look for traps.

"Follow one the lights or go the one way the lights didn't go?" 

"I say we don't listen to the lights..." Chip would add as his own lights illuminate the area for the group.

"On that much, we are in agreement." Rhogar replied. "Though if we are to eventually cleanse this place in its entirety either way, we may not have much a choice in the future. Lead on, Chill. Let's see if this isn't a case of reverse psychowazzitortother." He adds, gesturing off to the east. A wary Ghoarar lands and curls atop the Bronze's shoulder, seeming to be on edge by all of her frantic looks around.

Moving east you find some tunnels reconnect to reach other.  The tunnels end in a room where two stone sarcophagi rest in alcoves dug into the south wall.  In the west wall is a 2 foot wide tunnel.

As the group enters the room with the sarcophagi Krom says "Stay alert." The dwarf will wait for Chill's checks and then he will try to take closer look at the sarcophagi, looking for inscriptions or symbols on the stone.

Religion 18　or Investigation 4

He will be ready to chant a prayer of abjuration if attacked by undead.

Kazri will be on alert while Chill and Krom inspects their location. She has her eyes on the sarcophagi.

Chill carefully moves to the sarcophagi and each in turn checks for traps or locks.

Perception 18

Investigation 21

Rhogar keeps an eye largely on the group's flank. Even if it were to be unlikely, one couldn't be too careful about the undead, seeing as the wisp's had already tried to lure them elsewhere in the burrow. The whole while he awaited the trouble, Ghorar watched over the others, ready to alert or help them at a moment's notice.

Perception: 5(if needed)

You see no inscription or marking on the sarcophagi.

Chill is able to look them both over and declares that neither appears trapped in any way.  They also do not appear to be locked.  They are old and somewhat corroded but the lids appear to just rest in place likely unmoved since the sarcophagi were placed here.

Rekuberk will move to the sarcophagi but will refrain from opening them until he sees of the other think it is a good idea. He did not want to wake something that could cause a lot of trouble up...

Chip would give Rek a nod.. motioning to him to open the tomb while his glowing lights circle the casket. 

Kazri moves closer to Rekuberk, keeping an eye on both sarcophagi.
