Act II: Ill Fortunes

While peeking through the hole, Veroth will notice that the church's understory seem to be mostly empty, with pillars set at regular intervals to hold up the upper floor. There seems to be some sort of laboratory in the north-west corner. He will also notice 4 monsters down there, most of them being in the southern alcove. 2 zombies which seems to be dressed in the garb of the missing Lightbringers, a skeleton, and some sort of corpse which seems to have been stitched together by some lunatic, with arms which are too long, a wedge-shaped head, and a mouth that stretches open too wide, filled with teeth which glitters like shards of black ice...

Durgrim, now having time to perform the actions he wanted to do, will use his detect undead straight down and see that the overwhelming aura is almost directly under him, just a bit to the west of him.

Darren will notice that amongst the priest's equipment, the scroll is magical, and the full plate armor is magical.

Do you have any way of detecting magic? If so, then a Spellcraft roll will allow you to determine what is what. You can also roll a Appraise check to determine the value of the chalice and bells.

Still, no roll needed to read books and scrolls... The scroll found on the altar seems to be instructions to build some sort of undead called a blaspheme. The process is costly and requires to corpse of a close blood relative... As for the journal, you find some interesting bits of information...

Edit: Weiryn will determine that each potions is a potion of cure moderate wounds.

You can roll your Spellcraft check to try and determine what the enchantments are.

The hole is a 20 foot drop... I doubt Roland's plan will work...
