Vixia The Wealthy And Righteous Swords

   “So now what?  We were to track him down and that’s done. Can we just bring back his head,” Gorm wonders hopefully “Or must we drag his whole corpse back?”

I would say that General Ianlin Calser all but said "any proof of dead or alive"

Also as for the ghosts they are still just chilling, watching the sarcophagus. Which as far as I know no one has investigated.

   "Job done," Gorm will say as she scoops up the head.  "Let's skedaddle before the restless spirits start caring about us..."  With that, Gorm will again start sneaking her way as quietly as possible through the ghost room and to the exit.

Bones grunts quietly as Talinian denies him the book. 

"I'm sure the head will suffice. Though it's a pity I don't have the required materials to [Tooltip Not Found] that head for you so as not to mess up your things with blood. Perhaps that's something we can look for at some point in case similar circumstances arise again?" Bones follows at the back of the group as they leave, glancing over the sarcophagus as he does, "I wonder what was so important about this one...?".

(Not sure if you would like me to roll perception or investigation at disadvantage for doing a check on the move? Or just leave it, I'll leave that to DM discretion.)

As the group move past the ghosts and into the other room, Bones pauses for a moment and looks back at the ghosts, "Do you think that those ghosts await a master within the sarcophagus? Ingon was bent on raising whatever was in there."

Just there. As Bones is getting ready to walk out he sees on the lid of the sarcophagus, has the same three scripts, the one in common reads Oron.

I would also like to know about how long you guys stay, because of detect magic, and your guys way out.

"Our assigned task is complete.  Does anyone have any interest in investigating these tombs?  We may find many wondrous things. Or perhaps we should take the head back to our employer, rest and return," Talinian suggests.  "I, for one, would enjoy searching these tombs."

"The dead have no use for their things. And the living can often learn from their lessons." Korba replies, adding "I will search with you Talinian."

So in order to get paid you will have to go all the way back to a guild hall, the closest being the one you all started at.  So are we searching now? Also what rooms are we starting in? I would assume with 2 yes that you would search the rest of the lower level, then move to the upper level. And does Bones have detect magic up/does he recast it?

Bones keeps detect magic up just for the normal duration of 10 minutes, and will let it drop after that unless something catches his eye and he will redo the ritual.

Seeing the name Oron on the sarcophagus, and hearing Korba mention that he would like to search the tombs, Bones moves over beside him. "That sarcophagus Ingon was working on was marked with the name Oron. Seems that you know the name, perhaps there's something in there that you'd like to investigate?" he says quietly. He then speaks up to the group, "Well, I am happy to explore, however I am quite drained from our venture and so will not be able to offer much in terms of healing or support. If you would like me to try and detect magical items, let me know and I can perform the ritual again."

Talinian examines the door to the circular chamber.  "I wonder if we could open this door if we let it close.  If so, we could close it and then rest here, safely, and recover our health and magic.  Bones, will you please examine with me?"

Investigation with Advantage: 21

Does Talinian think it can be done?

The doors upstairs are thick stone, and when you guys touched them they seemed heavy, Ingon must have swung them in, and put stones in the way to keep them open.  The doors on this level are wooden. 

(So is that a yes or no? :)

You can shut the wooden doors and open them easily.

"It appears we can shut this door and open it again easily enough," Bones says as he investigates the door with Talinian, "I have no qualms in staying locked in the crypt for the evening, however I'd not expect anyone else to as it is rather unorthodox."

"I think that if we plan to search this crypt, our best option is to gather our strength and I also have no objection to spending a few hours in this room.  Does anyone object?" Talinian asks.

It's probably about mid day, you are welcome to close the door and take a long rest. As per my nor once we have 3 yes or no (we currently have two yes)  we can move forward to exploring the rest with the applied benefits or with out them.

"I am fine to mediate over this blade and get some rest." Korba says, adding "Though that name is unknown to me... perhaps we will learn more as we search."

Over the course of his watch, Korba will examine the blade piece he found, both in terms of appearance, and also trying to connect with it.

Bones tells Cinder to go & find Gorm & let her know where they are & that they are thinking of staying in the crypt for a rest. Cinder will make her way through the tomb until she finds Gorm, then writes the message in the dirt/dust on the ground for her.
