Against the cult: the Forest Ruin (1.5)

Ogbar strides boldly up the stairs to the second floor, Kragga following with the lit torch. There is a faint little bit of light in here already, from dirty exterior windows covered with clinging ivy that changes the light of day to a dim greenish glow. A set of rotten couches and meditation stools are haphazardly scattered throughout this space. Two murals of Pae adorn the southern walls, alternating with doors that lead south. In addition, a short, empty hallway to the east has three southern doors facing the dirty windows in the north, outside wall.Back on the first floor, Aanbo is at the foot of the stairs in the kitchen, with Joseph, Theran, Albertus (still enjoying his apple), and Xana (pocketing items from the pantry) within a few paces.

Kragga and Ogbar make room for Aanbo and the rest of the party. Theran watches Albertus closely, but he notices no effect.

Xana and Joseph bring up the rear. To restate: there are a few pieces of decaying furniture here, and the murals seem to indicate this was used as some sort of devotion or meditation space. Two doors to the south are bracketed by faded murals of Pae. A short corridor leads east with three smaller doors on the right hand/south wall.

Joseph interjects, his voice seeming loud after a few moments of silence: "Well, that's a lot of doors. Should we split up and each check one, or do you want me to look at them all?"
