OOC:
Can I make a religion check to tell what god(s) the temple was devoted to?

Milaki, you hear a Telepathic voice of Caudius in your head "This was a shrine to Savras once"
OOC:
I know it doesn't help you anyhow, but I just though it would be silly enough for Claudius to believe he is sharing something important with you. And no you can't answer the message, it is one-way only.

''Who said that?!''...looks around... ''This was a shrine to Savras'' Milaki says to the rest of them and confused of whom was talking into her head.

Raises his eyes and looks at the surrounding ruins.I haven't heard about orcs enjoying fine or spiritual arts, not to mention archeology. I think that if they were based so close to the village, they would raid it directly. he pays more attention to the ruins themselves looking for a good spot to use as a vantage point to look at the surroundings. If he notices such, he drops down his bag and stretches.
Do you really wish to spend the night here? I say we take a quick look, if you're interested and then move on, if i remember correctly our goal is in 2 days path... he continues to warm up his joints. I should look around, should I take the chainmail off before climbing or not?

"The hill they're holed up at is, aye. But let's not bet on the orcs staying put. This can be a nice little fallback place." Radiza replied with her quickly made excuse.
"Just a quick look.. Which one was Savras again?"

Milaki hear same voice again. Sorry, it's me - Claudius. I'm afraid the brutes in our company will not listen to MY knowledge. Probably you would.
Don't know if you know Savras - this god is well forgotten in the region and his ruined temple is very good proof to that. But I don't think Radiza or other weapon swingers would value knowledge of wizard god.
OOC:
So does any PC goes to check ruins? Claudius would be more than happy to rest a few minutes while you search ruins. Old man is used to walk, but his backpack is too heavy for his comfort

Esal thinks it is about time he showed the group he could be useful.
"Tell you what everyone" Esal says "If Alan is going to climb the hill I will do some scouting around and see if I can see any tracks"

Barek turns back to the old man. Actually Claudius, I'm familiar with Savras. He was a servant of Mystra. He looks to Radiza. I think we should all go check the ruins. If there's something lurking there it wouldn't be wise to split our forces.

OOC:
@JoshuaMabry Barek has no idea that Claudius were talking to Milaki about Savras. Claudius is using Telepathic communication
GreyWord says:
Milaki hear same voice again.
Could you please clarify if you are roleplaying Barek guessing that Claudius should know Savras and want more info from claudius, or probably you as a player simple missed the fact that your PC do not hear the communication?
Thanks!

OOC:
My bad. I did forget you were communicating telepathically. Retcon that I didn’t say that.

The Tabaxi was eagerly looking at the ruins, almost mesmerized by the promise of the unknown.
"Hmm? Yes. No sense standing here. Let's go."

She took the lead, walking a little faster then most find comfortable.

Barek falls in behind Radiza, hurrying to keep up.

Radiza sets off towards the ruins, the gentle slope of the foothills starting to become evident as you get closer to the ruined gatehouse. While not challenging, it's clear you are getting closer to the foothills proper, though still a few hours off from where the climbs might become challenging for the others. The ruin is relatively quiet, though the smell is quite a different story. When you get near to the wall, a stomach-turning smell of rot starts to waft across the air.

The former gatehouse in the wall used to be a sturdy thing, with thick wooden doors. However, they've been shattered inward, the iron hinges still warped. It looks like someone, at some point, tried patching the door with a hodgepodge of other planks, but they weren't well-crafted.

Hmm, nothing unusual... Alan climbs up on a intact segment of the outer wall and looks around, before getting down the way he climbed up, grabs his stuff and follows the others, staying a bit behind them just in case. Not liking the foul scent he unstraps his maul and follows close after.
OOC:
tell me if there's something unusual ...

The sickly sweet smell of rot touched Radiza's nostrils and made her pause for the first time. Her eyes and ears panned around to take in the scene. Could there be some dead animal here? Or something worse?
"Something bad is in the air.." She freed her shield from her back and strapped it to her left arm.
"Best check what it is, so close to the village. Perhaps they will pay a little more..."
Mar 2, 2022 2:24 pm
Best tread carefully and keep a wary eye. Barek also straps his shield to his arm and swings his warhammer back and forth a couple times.
OOC:
I've gone blind!

Claudius lag behind when Radiza increased marching speed, deciding that he will catch the rest while they scan ruins. He slows down even more when the smell reach his nose.
OOC:
I assume Claudius is still away from the ruins when team start already doing things in there. But in any case I do not intend to do anything special in the temple, so if nothing special happens my PC will just rest while waiting for to do anything they may want to do there.

Milaki walks by Claudius saying: "So...you were the one talking in my mind?! Oh my....I thought I was getting crazy....! Do you need help with these traps? Ew....what is that smell?'''
Mar 2, 2022 8:09 pm
"Something dead by my guess." Radiza offered helpfully as she carefully advanced into the courtyard. Her ears swiveled as her nose tried to pinpoint the source of the smell...

Alan, you don't really notice anything from atop the crumbling walls, just a quiet courtyard with the seemingly abandoned temple building in the middle. As you all move into the courtyard, you don't notice much of anything out of the ordinary, but the smell gets stronger near the door into the temple. You do notice that the earth has started to grow up the sides of the temple, with vines and brushy undergrowth right up next to the stone walls of the building. Pale pink and white flower dot the foliage.
