Tierra will help too.

The funeral is relatively simple and quick with the priest mutterings few blessings and then letting Ismark and Ireena say a few things about their father. Afterwards Donavich pulls the two to the side to talk with them.

What does the party do?

"Shall we go look at the undead monstrosity while they are distracted?" Tierra asks.

Nods at Tierra, but also adds: „ Maybe we should talk with the priest first. I know there is an undead, but it also seams to have some kind of conscience. Most undead are stupid things driven by basic desires, usualy only the higher ones are self aware enough to use language. I am worried that we try to handle something that is to big for us.“

Errol:

Errol gives a quick nod and follows along, although he does try to overhear at least some of the private conversation as he casually strolls by...

Active Perception, if needed:  12

As the party goes back to the church they here the screaming grow louder once more. There are four rooms in the church with doors. Two on each side.

Errol:

Errol listens in the main room, trying to determine which door has the loudest scream echoing from it (although the noise is loudest from the floor, we of course need a door to go through to get close enough to see this creature).  Perception: 24

Aloud, he says, "Does anyone want to try and talk with it?"

Falzaren will stay near the entrance to the church, outside, able to watch the priest or help as needed.

"Yes, and no. Frankly, I would like to hear the full story of how the son came to be in his predicament. For it could be we may find clues to our greater adversary." Belmarm admits from the doors of the church. "But, if it is as starved as it is, we won't get any thing coherent without sacrifice likely. But, if any of you feel deceitful enough to try and bait something out, then... by all means. I'll be right behind you. But do go prepared for a fight all the same."

"Seems to me," Tierra says, "that this priest is hiding something undead in a sanctuary. You don't do that, or else you pollute what makes a sanctuary a sanctuary."

You can't here if it is coming from any of the rooms as it seems like the sounds are coming from the middle of the room or underneath the center of the main room.

Errol:

Not quite ready to break into private church rooms without so much as a clear direction to go, Errol sits down over the voice in the middle of the room and asks, "So, what's your name?  What are you hungry for?" as he tries to get a sense of this creature below.

Insight:  22

"Feed me! Come down here and feed me!" The crazed voice yells loudly, as it seems to grow desperate at the sounds of a new voice.

Errol:

Okay, fine...I'll play along..."Sure, what do you eat?"

"Give me blood! I need blood!" It howls banging against the wall and any thing else it can seemingly find.

„What is your name, who are you?“

Nadariel points down, before he uses two fingers to pretend he got fangs.

Errol:

"And how do we get down there to you?  I haven't seen any stairs," adds Errol, content for now to talk to this thing through the floorboards.

OOC:  Did Errol overhear anything from the conversation as he walked by?  Passive Perception is 21.

(To Scott: Hear or see, seeing as you can read lips with the Observant feat!)

Belmarm maintains his distance behind the others, but continued to observe proceedings with his back against the wall and arms loosely crossed over his chest. Although his frown deepened with every complaint from the creature below, he kept quiet. For now.

It seem d that Ismark was talking to Father Donavich about places they could take Ireena to be safe.

"The trap door! Open it and let me out!" The voice yells, seeming to ignore any other question as it let out another feral scream.

Errol:

Errol moves over to Nadariel and quietly says, “The priest will not thank us for freeing and possibly killing his undead offspring, but the purification of the church requires it be dealt with somehow.  What say you Paladin?”
