"Let me think." His groans of pain have been getting less and less, but he lets out a scream.  "I do not recoll any hidden passess, or rooms.  The room you speak of is the 'Portal Nexus' it was built to serve as a point of convergence for areas throughout the demonic realms.  But with the little activity I have seen I don't know if it is working anymore.  Guarnoch was the guard of this chamber. They openly defied Ihu’qancao, but was still forced to follow comands by being under Ihu’qancao control."

Which way do we want to go?

Varlan is intrigued by this portal nexus, but asks "Have you seen or heard anything of a strange stone?" he then describes the thing they all seek.

Krven will wait till the golem head answers Varlan and then he will move to the next tunnel "J" an take a look around. Whispering to the head to talk quietly but to let us know what is down this tunnel.

Stealth: 28

Perception: 24

"I have heard nore seem this stone, but something magical like that would have probebly been taken to the Gratto."

With just looking into this room you see walls filled with demonic glyphs and jems.  

The head tells you the following information about this room "Ihu’qancao transcribed the will of his father, and any other messages he received, onto the walls of this chamber"

((Is there any way to read the messages, what language are they?))

Make an Archana check please.

Seeing the line of Kuatho's eyes, Varlan also tries to decipher the meaning of the words.

(( Arcana: 17 ))

Kuatho stares at the words, trying to make them out, head tilting back and forth.  

Arcana 17

The writing is a form of Abyssal.

Poking his head out from behind Jecob, Mist finally pipes up.

"I've seen this play. Everyone starts chantin' the words on the wall an' their eyes get t' glowin' and whatnot. Nothin' good comes of it and doesn't end well for anyone. I think we should keep movin'..."

Looking to Kraven, he smirks and adds, "Your new friend know how to get t' this Gratto o' his?"

Kraven shrugs, an then nudges the golem head, "Where is this grotto you spoke of? Do you think there is a way of talking us out of a fight with Guarnoch, was it? Otherwise we will have to go back to the room with the glowing portals and fight the demon that is inside."

"Getting to the Groto will require us to go past Guarnoch, I do not know how easy or hard it will be to talk Guarnoch into letting us pass, but the magic that held me has started to break, so who knows."

Kraven chuckles then turns to Mist, "Feel up to the challenge of talking to a beast like creature?"

Mist sighs dramatically and mutters, "I hate this place..." before shrugging an affirmation.

"You'll have to lead the way back 'cause I'm all sorts o' turned around in these caves."

With Limus' directions you get back to the green glowing room, when you walk in slowly the hezrou speaks up, "Please! Please! Please! Do not attack, please listen first.  I been stationed in this chamber for far too long, serving at the whim of Ihu’qancao. My blood has boiled for freedom from the first day I was bound here, but the wards of Ihu’qancao are protected against my tampering."

Mist looks at the others with eyebrows raised so far they practically disappear into his hairline.

"Knew I was good, but never knew I was THAT good," he whispers out the side of his mouth before taking a step forward.

"Ah, Guarnoch! Just the frog, erm... toad... uh... noble guardian we hopped, erm... hoped t' see!" the splotchy threequarterling sets in. "Heard you were in need o' some help and... well... here we are! How can we be of assistance to you, m' boy?"

Kraven looks at the ground sighs an chuckles then continues to listen to Mist use his "magic words" continuing to talk to the frog creature. All the while looking around the room and at the portals checking them out.

Arcana: 16

Religion: 7

Perception: 12

Whispering to Limus so as not to disturb Mist to Limus, "Which portal do we need to go through?"

Kuatho watches in silence, relying on Mist to convince and move them forward on the correct path.

He points to an area on the floor in the center of the room.

Before I continue I need to know 2 things, thing 1 does anyone have access to the spell dispel magic?  Also I know allingment is a touchy subject but if you were forced to put your character into one of the 9 where would they fall?
