Serig snorts at Elprekt's question. He tried devoting himself to a God for a while when he was younger. Looking back now, he was glad he'd done it, if only for the people he met because of it. But it didn't really end well for him in the end, so he stopped.

Still, he wouldn't admit his reasons for choosing the temple towards this stranger."As I said, we're explorers, but not for any particular purpose. So if we find something then we find something. If not, we move on."

He throws back a question to Elprekt. "If most fled, why did you stay?" Serig was unsure what her reasons were. Surely it just can't be for devotion?

OOC:

I need to brush up on the lore lol

OOC:

No need to read all my lore. The basics are
Creation -> Dawn Age ( all sentient life are the "People" and all worship their Deity) -> Dawn War between the People and Immortals from other Realms -> Shattering (the Mortal Realm was broken and the People split into the various races,kingdoms,nations,etc) Borders are a lingering effects of the Shattering, separating various lands and people, crossing them can be dangerous but they have been weakening lately

Elprekt

A sharp kackle fills the temple before she calms down I likely would have but I was quite young and my family died in the Shattering. I hid and by time I crawled out to try and find others there were none living to find. So I came to this temple and my god saved me so I choose to serve them. A look of sorrow fills her eyes at her brief retelling. But the past can not control us now. and she sits straighter and looks the three of you over Explorers eh? Would you perhaps be willing to help this old woman in a task for her god?

Elprekt's words claws into Serig's most vulnerable spots, and he looks away in silence. After a few moments, he answers, gruffly, but with warmth so faint you could barely hear it if you strain. "Depends on the task. but we'll at least hear you out."

Elprekt

The ols priestess nods in satisfaction Good. Now there are actually 2 tasks but my Gods asks that you only perform one and that the other is for my next visitor. and shrugs.

I as sure you noticed the two other large structures in the town. The Tower and the Keep.

The Infinite Tower was a place of great learning before the war and has access to many records and artifacts from the Dawn age. If you choose the Tower I will give you instructions on how to enter and retrieve an item for me.

The Keep was the center of the civic and later military forces. It contains many everyday records as well as some materials and items useful in running the city and for military use. Similar to the tower I can instruct you how to access a portion of it where you will find a vault for which I hold the key. Bring me what the vault holds.

My instructions will help you navigate the facilities in relative safety but only in the path I need you to go. Should you leave the path I specify I can not guarantee your safety. But I am sure you will be able to pick up a few bits of valuable material or minor items from either. Anything not locked up and not in the rooms I will direct you to is yours for the taking. It is for the benefit of the people, whom you are descended from, so I see no reason for you to not take what you find.

What do you say? and she look your trio over with a bit of trepidation.

Serig listens carefully and commits Elprekt's words to memory. He hadn't expected that her god's task was this. He's definitely had the idea of checking those two other places after they've explored the temple before. Still, it's serendipitous, in a way, and he has no reason to reject the task.

"We'll go to the Infinite Tower," he says after a quick conversation with Dree and Alben. "What's the item you want retrieved?"

Dree will sit across from the old woman and listen to her instructions intently. Before they leave for their task Dree will give the woman the little bird she carved the night before.

Elprekt starts telling you how to enter the Infinite Tower and navigate the interior as she draws a rough map with some simple instructions onto a parchment she retrieves from another alcove. Once the directions are done she hands the parchment along with a pendant barely small enough to fit in your fist

Before you leave she instructs you not to not travel the city at night and you should, if possible, stay outside the city or in either the tower or pyramid.

OOC:

I will move you to the tower in a bit or by tomorrow if you have no other questions for the ancient priestess

Serig hands over the pendant to Dree for safekeeping. Even if Elprekt hadn't suggested it, he also thinks it would be safer to rest instead of traveling at night. They need all the rest they could get if they're going to tackle going somewhere potentially dangerous.

OOC:

I can't think of any other questions so I'm also good to go! Also welcome back Arrcher!

Setting out you descent the pyramid, and wonder how often Elprekt does this trip, if at all. Once back to street level you head towards the tower. The city must have held a decent population as it's wide paved roads would easily have accommodated a couple wagons and still left room for people to walk.

You pass from one region of the city that surrounded the temple and had larger structures and streets to another with smaller buildings and roads that looks to have been a residential section. As you move through this area you enter a small plaza with a well anc cistern in the middle. As you do Serig catches a fresh scent. It smells reptilian but there is something . . wrong. Seeing her companion pause Dree scans the area ans notices there are drying sections of cobble stone. Something was drinking from here recently.

After the warning about dangers in the city Dree will draw her blade. We're not alone, she whispers mostly for Albens benefit because Serig already knows. She also wants to see if she can tell the number or kind of beings from the tracks left.

The whiff of wrongness raises Serig's vigilance, so he focuses and also tries to pinpoint where it is with his sense of smell. After Dree's warning, he also adds for Alben's benefit, "Draw and ready your weapon," all the while raising his fists.

Should be okay for us using Focus out of combat, right?

OOC:

The official rules only use Focus in combat but I allow it to be used at any time. However it means you are literal focusing on ans spending extra time on that one action.

As Dree moves to examin the traces left behind and Serig checks the air to locate the source of the smell Alben seems confused at your actions but still moves to stand at the ready. Dree determins it is a single larger creature and Serig determines the beast comes here often and left recently heading towards your left.

Drake

Turning in that direction he catches movement from a shadowy doorway as a creature rushes from the coool interior of the building to rush at you. Alben shouts in alarm as he lashes out at the creature innefectually before backing away as he avoids its bite. Seric is less fortunate and is slammed by it's tail (1 dmage).

Serig snarls and bares his teeth at the Drake as it lashes at him with its tail. The damage inflicted on him brought clarity into his mind, and he subconsciously goes over all the hunting experience his pack had taught him. He breathes to steady himself and in retaliation, Serig brings his body low and closes in on the beast and tries to tackle and grapple it so the others can have a much easier time attacking it.

OOC:

Serig's first action is to try activating Shamanic Warrior subconsciously. If it succeeds and the random boon is 1/2/3 he'll burn 1 HP to get the Spirit Guide boon instead. But if it's 4/5/6 he doesn't sacrifice HP.

Regardless, for his second action he tries to grapple the Drake.

Dree's massive ax bites deeply into the drake while Seric seems to pause before launching an attack with his armored fists that fail to penetrate the beasts tough scaley hide.

Drake

Roaring in pain the drake lunges at dree with both bite and claws.but the lithe warrior easily evades the deadly assault.

Alben

The sight of Dree striking deeply into the beast before nearly disappearing under it's assault give Alben courage then fear before the roar snaps him from his stupor to stab at the beast again before moving to stay out of the beasts attack range.
