Gertrude stands in front if the two doors. She looks to one, then the other. "I think we should go through..... this one, or maybe the other one? No, this one. No, no, the other door!"
Then she looks back at the fountain. "Or maybe we should explore the fountain more? No, go through the door. Or maybe check the fountain?"
Isabella looks at Gertrude "Ah, you okay? I think we should head in front of us where the writer is." Isabella will change her sword into a Great Axe "Right, let's get this show going." Getting closer to the door she will look through the door with her ghostly gaze.

Feeling some renewed energy sinking back into his old bones after a good night's sleep, Irommek fights the temptation to cup his hand and sneak a drink in the fountain as they pass by.
Looking and listening behind the group, he comments to no-one in particular, "I've never known an undead beastie to chronicle his memoirs. Maybe our luck is changing and we'll find some lost scholar behind the door to the west..."
After her long rest, Brunella feels stronger and more powerful. Her muscles, already hard as marble, have more definition and size. Her toes grip the stone floor and fingers hold her flaming sword like a vice. She speaks the power word to inflame her sword. She stands behind Isabella, ready to protect and fight.

Candles dimly illuminate a cluttered office: a skeletal songbird rasps at you from a filthy cage in one corner. Other furnishings include a wooden writing desk and a tall-backed chair. Anatomical drawings sketched in charcoal hang on the wall behind the desk. Seated in the chair is the shrivelled corpse of a humanoid wearing mouldy robes and a bronze mask sculpted to look like a frowning visage. Around the figure's neck hangs a black skull-shaped amulet, and a number of severed hands crawl on the desk and floor around him.
"Greetings. Please, make yourself comfortable," says the undead at the dead, while it stills write things down.
Kurma, invisible, enters silently in the room and remains at the side of the door, thinking to himself "These are definitively undead... Moa, do you know this creature?" The Tortle is ready to call upon Oghma power if the undead are getting too close.

Moa: "That being was known to me he still was a living thing. Gorra was the name, a most brilliant Omuan engineer. His fate was unknown to me, but now it is not anymore, evidently."
Isabella will look back to the group ans shrug her shoulders "Very well but this will be a give and take, we will answer one of your question and you will answer one of ours. Is this acceptable?"

Caught off guard "Wha how'd..." She stops herself and takes a breather "We were really close until a few years ago. We got separated due to certain events. Now it's our turn, there are four levels how do we get to the 5th and 6th level."
Kurma will help Isabella and turn invisible
He will also try to listen at both door for any clues on what is behind. Perception: 13

The doors are not trapped, nor locked.
Behind the door to the west, Kurma hears that someone is writing something.
Clings and footsteps are heard aplenty from the door to the north.
Gertrude stands in front if the two doors. She looks to one, then the other. "I think we should go through..... this one, or maybe the other one? No, this one. No, no, the other door!"

"Well this is unexpected..." Isabella will lower her axe. "A fellow scholar, well an undead scholar. You must know alot about this place."
Felix Windfall(Human-V Lv.7 Rogue) killed in ToA, Vallan Houndstrider (Halfling Ghostwise Lv.1 Fighter) in DiA"Well, I'll be a bearded pixie. An undead beastie chronicling his memoirs. I'm just going to shut my mouth now and see how this one plays out."
Moa: "That being was known to me he still was a living thing. Gorra was the name, a most brilliant Omuan engineer. His fate was unknown to me, but now it is not anymore, evidently."
"I know everything about this place. Please, humour an old soul like mine recounting your tales."
Isabella will look back to the group ans shrug her shoulders "Very well but this will be a give and take, we will answer one of your question and you will answer one of ours. Is this acceptable?"
Felix Windfall(Human-V Lv.7 Rogue) killed in ToA, Vallan Houndstrider (Halfling Ghostwise Lv.1 Fighter) in DiA"Absolutely."
"Very well, I'll start where exactly is the soul monger located at in this tomb."
Felix Windfall(Human-V Lv.7 Rogue) killed in ToA, Vallan Houndstrider (Halfling Ghostwise Lv.1 Fighter) in DiA"It is located somewhere on the sixth level on this tomb."
Despite the mask, you can almost perceive the smile underneath. "My turn, now. How close you were with your brother, before his untimely death?"
Caught off guard "Wha how'd..." She stops herself and takes a breather "We were really close until a few years ago. We got separated due to certain events. Now it's our turn, there are four levels how do we get to the 5th and 6th level."
Felix Windfall(Human-V Lv.7 Rogue) killed in ToA, Vallan Houndstrider (Halfling Ghostwise Lv.1 Fighter) in DiA"On the fourth level, where the Gargoyles butchered your brother, there is a shaft in the ground. That's the way for the fifth level."
"My turn. Now, you dwarf with one arm. How is your faith going these days?"
Isabella would like to insight this undead guy 🧟♂️.
Insight: 15
Felix Windfall(Human-V Lv.7 Rogue) killed in ToA, Vallan Houndstrider (Halfling Ghostwise Lv.1 Fighter) in DiAThe undead scribe seems truthful to Isabella.
