The Ashen tomb is not in worship of a god, though some say he is. deep below the tomb is the location where a saint died. Well went hollow is probably more appropriate. He was a great warrior, even mundane arms became empowered in his hand.

When you ask your question the priest shakes his head I said we haven't seen any pilgrims. There were some others, a band of knights from a far off land, who searched for a different shrine deep in the woods. They said something about taking the soul of the forest to it's heart, but I'm not sure what that meant. That too was some time ago, though it's hard to tell, time after all is complicated in these lands. But tell me, are you a pilgrim of the sun, do you wish to receive the blessing of ash?

"Hmm, a blessing? I follow the gods Tyr and Zisa, though you might know them by their older names: 'Forest Light' and 'Forest Moon'. I can accept the blessing of ash, but only if it helps kindle the light of the world. If so, then I would be honored!"

Tosti strokes his beard in anticipation.

"I might very well be the Order's first pilgrim! Hopefully Tyr and Zisa don't start bickering over it, Gahaha!"

I assure sir knight, we are worshipped of the very light itself, the Lord of light and his saints. But alas you are not a pilgrim. the priest looks down trodden. I will not be able to share a blessing then as you would need to bring with you talisman of the dragon slayer from earlier in the pilgrimage.
Jan 1, 2017 12:36 pm
"Ah, so we are both worshipers of the light. I'm on a mission from the Order, but I can complete this pilgrimage at the same time! Where do I start?
Jan 2, 2017 4:48 am
Well the shrine of the dragonslayer is some way away in another land and the pilgrimage itself starts even further off, but if you find such a medallion in your travels I can grant you the blessing.

"I'll keep an eye out for it. I guess I will start by searching this forest, then I can make my way to the Ashen Tomb. Do you know what lies at the top of the mound in the distance?"
Jan 2, 2017 10:44 am
Well that's the Shrine of Ash and Soot. It's a place where we remember those who are now ash, and those who are now sooted. Below the mound is the is the ruins of an old city, and below that still... Well don't go that far down.
Jan 2, 2017 11:36 am
"So there's a Shrine of Ash and Shoot, and the Ashen Tomb is a different place entirely. I'm beginning to understand, but I think I see less than you do!"

Tosti stretches his arms, and prepares to venture out again.

"I'll return if I find the medallion, or maybe just to discuss our faith. Before I go, I found a javelin downstairs. Does it belong to you?"
Jan 3, 2017 4:05 am
Definitely not, I haven't used a Javelin at all.
Jan 3, 2017 4:22 am
"Well then, I'll be off. Nice meeting you, what's your name?"
Jan 4, 2017 10:19 am
I'm Zellier of the Ashen, good luck pilgrim I hope you achieve your goals.

For aiding Harmia you have gained a Humanity

"Be well, Zellier!"

After saying his goodbye, Tosti rests at the bonfire downstairs and inspects the javelin he found inside the chest.
Jan 5, 2017 4:27 am
Javelin of Solar Knight: When you utter a prayer to the sun this Javelin becomes a bolt of lightning, forming a line 5 feet wide that extends out from you to a target within 120 feet. Each creature in the line excluding you and the target must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d6 lightning damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The lightning bolt turns back into a javelin when it reaches the target. Make a ranged weapon attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes damage from the javelin plus 4d6 lightning damage. The javelin’s property can’t be used again until the next dawn. In the meantime, the javelin can still be used as a magic weapon.

In the days long gone knights served the lord of light himself, and with these sacred bolts vanquished those who came before and secured for us the lands to live in.

Tosti's first order of business is to look for the knights that Zellier mentioned. They seemed to want to return the forest to it's original state, which resonated with him. It was still daylight out, so there was still much that could be done.

Deciding to head for the center of the forest, he opens his divine senses to catch any good or evil auras in the area as he travels.

Now that your not explicitly looking for undead you can in fact detect the essence of the vine monster that attacked you last time, it seems to have some divinity about it...

You can sense something else in that direction; it feels vaguely familiar, but it feels more distant then the distance would suggest, you get some other hollows bleeping on the radar, but strangely enough the direction of the heart of the forest seem devoid of the undead.

OOC:
Ooh yeah, certainly a divine plant. It really wants to bring me to the afterlife.
Seems like that plant still has some good in it, I wonder if whatever happened in the middle of the forest caused it to become corrupted?

Tosti headed deeper in, hoping to find more answers.

You start heading into the heart of the of the forest, the tree's here seem to carry malicious intent, in the distance you can see several bushes and shrubs that meander about. Ahead of you you notice a corpse up ahead surrounded by 10 of this wandering plants.
Jan 7, 2017 11:40 am
OOC:
Are these the same type of plant monster on the pathway, or are they smaller?
Sensing the malice in these plants, Tosti quickly decides to wipe them out. The corpse seems important, at the very least. He raises his holy symbol in the air, and calls on Zisa to help end the plant abominations. Zisa readily responds, and a column of pale lights falls from the heavens. He aims the spell so that the initial moonlight hit as many enemies as possible.
