Homebrew: Totem of Carrowkeel

Andúlra stares at the glowing satchel wondering what it glowing. 

Erevan  scans the room for signs of passage, exits, or triggers. Perception: 5

Is it the same room as before just with different contents? Insight: 12

Does Erevan  recognize the woman or the Warriors? History: 7

Any arcane symbols or wards? Arcana: 21

Group 1

Erevan/OOC: You've never been in this room and do not know what it's contents were beforehand. This is a completely new room to you.

Looking at Aldaryn however he doesn't giving anything away until he moves ahead of you into the room. He walks along at first through the first row of stone coffins and then the second before changing course to face the door on the other side of the room. The woman's sarcophagus is to his left position near where you know in a chapel the altar should be but Aldaryn doesn't stop to look at any of the coffins. If fact he doesn't pause for a moment as you watch from your place in the threshold as Aldaryn walks towards the doors. He looks as if he might even walk through one of the rows of coffins but as he draws near they seems to flickery for a moment as if it's not really there until he passed right through them! "Come on," Aldaryn then turns to you and calls out look at you curiously with raised eyebrows.  "Sir Ballen's library is just through here and if I know that pious coward at all he's hiding in there," he says indicating the other door just in front of him but has yet to open it. "What? What is it," he the asked looking around the chapel curiously which is the same, to him, as it's always been.

As you move through this room however you notice now in the stonework the symbols of Chauntea are carved over remnants of druidic runes. Most look as if they were transformed more than just defaced. You find there are parallels to the meanings and teachings of Chauntea as well as these druidic symbols. The meanings of which you've picked up in your time in Talamh. As you near the coffins themselves to get a really good look at the faces of the warriors you don't however recognize any of these men or women you find! The largest sarcophagus belonging to the woman however is too far away to see properly. Apart of the female warriors which you can barely tell from their armor the sarcophagus with the place of honor you can only tell is female because of the feminine profile in repose and her clear lack of armor that you can see from where you're standing amongst the first rows of coffins.

Group 2

Brida pauses looking down at the satchel and seems shocked as you are! Putting her hand inside of it, the first time you've ever seen her touch then contents of the satchel, and pulls out a stone the size of a fist glowing with a green pulsing light the same rhythm of a beating heart! "Its...it's just a stone I don't know. I don't see it glowing," Brida says looking at both of you curiously before looking back at the stone to you pulses with green light in her hand but to her is just a smooth black stone with druidic runes carved into it.

Erevan  moves to catch up with Aldaryn  and takes a closer looks at the woman's sarcophagus when he gets closer. Investigation: 8

Erevan: You don't recognize the woman. "What is it? It's just the altar," Aldaryn calls out with a curious expression standing outside Sir Ballen's the library door.

Pitero: "This was given to me by Sir Ballen as an offering to Chauntea but priestess Hyghland refused to take it as our gift. She it was not ours to give," Brida explains still seeing the plain stone in her hand. "She charged me to return it and said she would deal with Sir Ballen's overreaching," she explains bitterly. "To think what happened here might be all my fault," she adds turning the stone in her hand now as it still glows to you but she still can't see it!

"I see something else Aldaryn. I don't know if I'm seeing an image of the past or an illusion of some kind, but I see a tomb here. You walked right through a sarcophagus a moment ago! Each is carved with the image of a warrior, except this one, clearly someone of importance, is a woman carved in great detail. Has this temple always served Chauntea?  Still, regardless of what I see before me, I can see nothing to do about it.  Let's keep looking for Ballen, and maybe we can find the answers to this."

Pitero/Andulra: "Priestess Hyghland insisted that this stone, this stone was never meant to leave the village," Brida began. "I should not have taken it and I should have asked more questions of Sir Ballen before blindly leaving here with whatever this is in my pocket. It's been nothing but trouble since I left here," she explains.

Erevan: "I see no coffins and no lady," Aldaryn looking at you like you're crazy gesturing about what he sees as an empty chapel needing a good once over as he realized not in a corner at the far end of the room was a great pile of ash! "Come through here," he then said gesturing to Sir Ballen's door. 

Pitero: Roll insight? 

Erevan checks Ballen's door for traps. Investigation: 10

Erevan gestures toward the door, "I've checked it, you want to lead us in?"

Bardic Inspiration on Aldaryn

With a reassuring smile Andúlra puts her hand on Brita’s shoulder, “I’m not sure what it is exactly. I think I’ve heard my father talking about such a stone. Do you think it belongs in the temple? Why would he give you a stone thatasnt his to give?”

Pitero: Brida is ardently telling you the truth.

Andulra: Brida's father did not give her the stone the high priest of her temple Sir Ballen did. So far there is no movement in the village so Brida gestures to the temple.

"Maybe their are survivors that hid in the temple," Brida said with a concerned look. "If he lives Sir Ballen can tell us the truth about the stone and what happened here," she added going up the steps of the temple of Chauntea.

Erevan: Aldaryn opens the door and you find nothing but a library that looks completely destroy as if someone or something was searching for something! 

Are there any other exits from the library?  Erevan asks Aladryn, "does the library look odd to you?"

Erevan: "It looks like someone or something was searching for something," Aldaryn replies stooping down and rummaging through books and papers strewn on the floor uncovering another off pile of ashes!

Pitero/Andulra: approaching the temple you find smouldering doors blasted in from the threshold and Brida enters without pause, do you continue to follow?

Insight on the ashes: 20 Are these ash piles corpses?
