Zelra turns to the zombie next to her and attempts it finish it off.

The zombie moves right through Uragum's spell, but meets tough opposition in the end of Sylyra's staff when it nearly turns its head into paste. The zombie falls, but despite its mangled cranium, it almost struggles to its feet - almost, as Zelra plants her sword through its skull, killing it for good.

Ola and the skeleton clash swords, but a well placed arrow to an eye socket from Arnald ends the remaining undead danger.

OOC: Each character has received 40 XP for defeating the skeletons and zombies.

Zelra swings her sword back and forth, trying to get all the zombie bits off of it. "I wonder how many more undead we're gonna be fighting down here." She uses her foot to try to manuvere the now dead body of zombie that was on the altar, attempting to get a better look at it's face. She uses the tips of her sword to push and poke around it's body, trying to see if there's anything on it. "I'm gonna guess this one and the other zombie where Black fist guards... but this one isn't wearing any black fist clothing. Wonder if this is Igan Sokol...." She tries to find out how long ago the body she's examining died.

Uragum frowned at the situation and moved back into the room.  He was about to go back to the statue but instead made his way towards the others at the alter.  "I wonder," Uragum says as he approaches.  "It takes some magic and materials to raise the dead.  Im not sure whats needed would really survive down here but the statue appeared to have some magic maybe the alter does too?"

Ooc: if detect magic is still up he will take a look at and around the alter to see if that radiates anything.

Sylyra examines those wearing black fist uniforms to try to determine whether either was Grim.

"Have we seeing Igan's portrait somewhere in the main building?" With all this commotion she was not sure anymore.

Zelra hears the jingle of coinage beneath the young man's clothing as she prods at the body. At a glance, it appears this was more of a murder than a sacrifice, as the young man clearly died from a stab wound in his back by a small sword or dagger.

There is only one body wearing the uniform of the Black Fist. Sylyra examines the man for a moment, but does not recognize him. Ola tries to recall what Igan Sokol may have looked like, but does not remember a physical description.

For Uragum:

Upon hearing the jingle, Zelra leans down to go through his body a bit more thoroughly to find the coins. "Not like he's gonna need it."

"Whether it was a murder or a sacrifice - it's fresh. Unless servants did it - which is unlikely, at least the guard would fight back - the man or men responsible should be here. The island is not big enough to hide  and we searched it thoroughly." Statement was obvious but Ola needed to say out loud. "Igan disappeared two days ago. Probably guards too. Looks like our killer - or cultist - is still around. I am afraid we have to check that room."

Leaving the remains of the Black Fist, Sylyra walks over and picks up the wand. "Any idea what this does?" he asks the others, but his eyes linger on Uragum.

Zelra finds a total of 35 gold pieces in the young man's pockets. Sylyra grabs the wand nearby; it is clearly magical, and not simply an arcane focus.

Voices ring out from the small opening around the corner, where the stone door lies.

"Who's there!?"

"Are the undead gone?"

OOC: Added 7 gp to each character's inventory.

Zelra takes out her shortswords as she hears the voices. "The undead are gone, but before we tell you who we are, why don't you tell us who you are?"

Sylyra sticks the wand in his belt and turns to face the small opening.

Uragum's eyes light up at the mention of the object Sylyra is holding.  "I can ident..." he says before being cutoff by the voices.  Like everyone else he turns, arms up ready to attack if needed.

It was the right question - those inside knew about undead and not only did not help to fight them, but did not warn the group either. Still, that could Igan, or at least someone knowing what is going on.

OOC: Added unidentified wand to Sylyra's inventory.

"We are of the Black Fist," a rough voice calls out. "Those things have had us trapped down here for two days. We have wounded and hungry in here."

"Can you open the door from inside? Or would you rather have us to help you with a rope through that opening near the door?" Ola was standing under said opening ready to help. "Is Igan Sokol with you there?"

There is a pause before the man speaks in a more somber tone. "If you really killed those undead, then you saw Igan. This is as close as we could get the door to opening. You should be able to squeeze through. Those things could come back any moment."

"We did not come here to get trapped. Come out and if anything attacks us again you can help us to fight it off on the way back." Ola looked at the door for a few seconds puzzled. "You do not intent to sit in that room until you die from hunger, do you? The door back is opened, let's leave this place."

At the mention of Igan, Sylyra looks at the faces of the zombies again.
