Storm King's Thunder

Flint enters the room, raises his holy symbol and yells "MORADIN! This place be foul! Damn  them who made and used this foul altar!" Then with a two handed grip he starts swinging at the altar with his blessed hammer, each blow harder than the last until no two bones are connected.

"And let that be the last dark altar! May such foul magics never be wrought again in this village. Now for the last hunt lord..."

As Flint destroys the altar, Ink decides to search the rest of the room, with some help from one of the others and, while midswing, requests some guidance from Flint ... 

Ink looks about and just gives a 'tsk' before he goes about searching the room. 

Investigation 19 + 4

The stench from the animal remains, which are a few days old, is awful. Ink is able to hold it together long enough to uncover what looks to be a ritual book, its pages filled with profane symbols and Infernal lettering. 

He also notices that brass brazier (about 4 feet in diameter) is sitting loose on its pedestal. 

"We need to move on, doesn't look like they are in here."

The stench from the animal remains, which are a few days old, is awful. Ink is able to hold it together long enough to uncover what looks to be a ritual book, its pages filled with profane symbols and Infernal lettering. 

He also notices that brass brazier (about 4 feet in diameter) is sitting loose on its pedestal. 

"I agree Marav, but this brazier is loose.... It might be another lever to a secret path - or explain a possible magical exit."

It appears to be an ordinary brazier made of brass.

perception 6 on that slight of hand, "Remember Ink, research and information only no actually casting or doing any of that nasty business."

OOC: sorry. Been super busy most of the weekend. 

“Ink. We should burn that book. Honestly I think it’s best we burn this whole building.” Angel says. 

//Passive Perception for the book. Sorry boy you have to be sneakier than that.//

"Good points, all, but given that we'll likely be facing foes like this again - understanding them would be of upmost importance. I know how sensitive some of you are to topics like this and didn't want to pick a fight about it," Ink says with earnest.

"I think burning the place down is a bit much, but you and Flint should feel free to consecrate the grounds."

"Well, seems the brazier is just what it seems to be - perhaps after cleaning and cleansing it we could use it, or perhaps sell it." Ink looks at the brazier once more and lifts it off the pedestal to take it out of the room. 

"knowing how their spells work helps us better disrupt them. Don't want to end a ritual the wrong way and cause something worse to happen. Like the old saying goes, knowledge is power. Right Ink?"

"Knowledge is power when it is tempered by wisdom," Ink replies... an eyebrow, slightly, raised... as he continues to fiddle with the brazier.

“Let’s just make sure that power doesn’t corrupt.” Angel comments 

The brazier is quite cool to the touch (containing only smoldering insence) and can be lifted by two people easily. 

"Again," retorts Ink, with an expression that reads he is clearly tired of the conversation, "tempered with wisdom."

"We should be looking for where the wight and his castellan went off to, rather than lecturing each other," Ink says as he drags the brazier out of the secret chamber.

"You'll stay here until we finish cleaning up this keep," Ink directs at the brazier.

Edit.... Ink asks for help with the brazier, if someone obliges him. 

//  If no help is offered, when Ink drags what I mean is that sort of movement by rotation... Pivot on one end then pivot on the other until it's out of the room. Ink wouldn't want to scratch the bottom if it can be helped. //

// Where to now? //

//Rip would offer to help, but he is so wittle and the brazier is so big and heavy lol//

"Thanks for the offer, Rip, but I got it." 

Dusting his pants and cloak off, Ink stands up straight and says, "Well, once Flint is done hammering in there, how about we help Marav, with some of Flint's guidance, track that last wight? There's only one more path to check I believe, shall we head out?"
