[Gameplay] 3. The Sanctum

They shirk off part of the damage, protecting themselves from the broader wave of positive energy that bursts from Khadi.

They both take 7 damage, leaving them both at 9/16

Iseret looks to her companions for advice, even as she moves to flank one of the strangers, striking for anything that looks vital.

.

Iseret bursts from the shadows and shivs one of them.

A: 1/16
B: 9/16

@baltar and @heroamongmen are up

Skarab looks at these priests, and he looks to a crack in the wall and says, "Me-lok-tanoa," and a giant worker ant comes out and attacks one of the priests.

Baltar attacks, but his weapon doesn't pierce their unnatural resistances. (DR 5/magic or silver)

The huecuva were rushing to attack hated Khadi of the holy power, but the sudden appearance of the ant distracts them. They attack! And miss!

A: 1/16
B: 9/16

Tabat is up, and then everyone else once more.

Tabat caught slightly off-guard by these creatures, presses forward and tries to circle around the back of the one attacking the ant. He hefts his flail and swings it hard at the creature.

Tabat takes out the heavily wounded one, crushing it to the ground with a powerful strike.

A: dead
B: 9/16

Seizing the opportunity, Iseret slides behind the remaining huecuva, flanking it and striking for anything that looks vulnerable!

"Another well-fought battle, my friends!" Tabat says with glee. "Evil has been vanquished this day. Now let us see what these fiends were watching over." Tabat approaches and enters the middle-right room, looking about for anything of interest.

'Did anyone get scratched or touched. They were Huacuva, they carry disease' The healer glances over everyone looking for wound, before joining Tabat in searching.

"Thankfully, no."

He kicks the dirt towards the undead corpses in disgust.

"Thankfully, no."

In the area there are some silver objects, a broken knife and a chalice. The knife can be used as a silver dagger with the broken condition, and the chalice is worth 30gp.

You have the areas north and south of this room.The east side opens into three areas.

Lower Right
The southern area of this large space contains a long stone table, two benches, and two wooden hutches. Just visible behind a partition wall to the north is a kitchen with tables, cabinets, and a stove in the corner. Around a corner to the south stands a stone enclosure with a rounded top and a hatch set in the front.

Middle Right
A small shrine occupies a raised dais in the north of this room. Two waist-high fonts stand on either side of the altar, and a small wooden cabinet is bolted against the eastern wall. Two rows of stone benches stand to the south of the dais. A fetid odor permeates the room.

You are here.

---

Upper Right
An immense tiled pool, empty and no more than two feet deep, lies beneath a vaulted ceiling covered with images of celestial beings. Four columns stand beyond the pool to the northeast, each carved to represent one of the four primal elements. A ring of hieroglyphs encircles the base of each pillar.

What's your next move?

"Yes, I'm okay as well Khadi, thank you. Not even a scratch."

He picks up the chalice and looks it over before storing it away, then does the same with the broken dagger.Tabat then heads to the lower-right section of the room and looks around, starting with the hutches, then looking through the kitchen area, then at the enclosure.

Once satisfied here, he will turn his attention to the upper-right room unless someone has already poked around by that time.

"What say we return to the entrance and check around the western section of these chambers before entering the center?"

There is little of interest in the kitchen area, beyond nearly worthless stone flatwear.

The northeastern tiled pool area contains some things of interest. Successful Knowledge (History) and Knowledge (Religion) checks vs DC 15 will reveal some things of interest.

Iseret regards the dead heucuvas with a critical eye. She had started to search them, but the mention of disease wards her off. Instead, she follows Tabat on his rounds.
