"Ah, why didn't I think of that! It's always behind the tapestry!" Kohl says, trying to somewhat lighten the mood. He follows Zillah and Elly out the room.

"The hero sought to save the world.
"If I keep trying, I'll be able to win," the hero thought.
But the harder the hero fought, the further the world seemed to tumble away.
Drowning in doubt, the hero could not even save themselves.
Hero, if you still believe in a brighter future, hold in your heart a thorn that can pierce all doubt."
Entering the room you see immediately burning torches in iron sconces line the walls of this room, lighting it brilliantly. At the room's center lies a squat stone altar, its top covered in recently spilled blood. A channel in the altar funnels the blood down its side to the floor where it fills grooves in the floor that trace some kind of pattern or symbol around the altar. Unfortunately, you can't tell what it is from your vantage point.
I will move to get a better vantage point but I don’t want to touch the rune at all. Religion check on the altar? Or is it arcana? Trying to see what the rune means or if the altar has anything telling on it
Elly: Religion will work. The altra is a devotion to Cyric and you know from your studies that this indeed a sacrifice made to the trickster god which was more than likely a pious follow of Mystra or any sort of good magic user whom Cyric loathes!
Zillah: You notice the symbols are for scrying!!
Everyone: Anyone else investigation or perception? Who is all in the altar room?

Elliot,teifling sorcerer/ Azriah, Changling Bard/ Freyr Rayn, Human Cleric (Order of the sleeping dragon)
I don't hear Shadow's question. I'm too distracted by the smell.
I visually inspect the door for any traps (perception 14).
If I don't see anything with my roll, I will attempt to open it.
Elly- Gnome Cleric The Black Maze
Is shadow able to see down into the cauldron?
Shadow
It's a green chunky liquid gurgling and bubbling with a faint arcane aura.
Elly
There does not seem to be traps!
Sometimes a Nat 1 tells a better story than a Nat 20 ever could.
"Well, it's disturbing but I'm not seeing any signs of danger." Shadow joins Elly by the door.
I open the door and run out of the room.
Elly- Gnome Cleric The Black Maze
Zillah sees Elly leaving and ran out to catch her. “Little one, if you die, I will burn everything!”
