CEMOS!! Heartboiler whispers excitedly, but trying not to wake up the others.
Cemos, I found something. I got hit by a ghost, so I chased it and then I found this burrow near that waterfall over there and there were some things and the ghost disappeared but i found this!
She shakes the bundle in her arms, causing a piece of the cloth to shift, revealing the bones she's holding.
I also found a journal, some gems and a potion bottle that's really weird! Oh and that ghost said something before he disappeared... What was it... Uhm... Oh! "They're coming, everyone must hide!" At first I thought he spoke about me, but I was alone of course, so that was weird... Let's look in that journal to see if this is our guy or perhaps some other clues, like what that big stone in there is for.

She gently puts down the skeleton bundle and reaches into her backpack, showing Cemos everything she found, softly going through her small adventure step by step, making sound effects and waving her arms around a lot. She sometimes, unconsciously, scratches the edge of a nasry looking burn on her leg, though it's not really a burn, it shows sings of necrosis all over it.

When she's done telling every detail, including the weird repeating battle sounds, she sighs, a happy grin on her face. Should we wake them up and just hurry back to the catacombs, handing this over and finding a real bed to sleep in, after​ a nice meal with some of those fantastic spider legs? I think they might prefer a bed to a stone floor...

well done heart, Wait here with the bones and ill go get the others. cemos sees the necrosis knowing full well what it is. As so he casts detect evil as he goes to get the others.

bildaweer, dustin, get up! he says in a hushed tone. I know it hasn't been long but there is nothing for it. I think heart has been afflicted by evil magic. I need you to look at the bones she brought. Don't touch them! But perhaps your spells can tell you something.

OOC:
depending on what the detect evil and bilda says we may need to leave and come back later. Plz no body touch anything she found. Also i am traveling this weekend so ill post when i can.
Jan 12, 2018 7:05 pm
Detect evil reveals nothing at all.
OOC:
You can choose to investigate more or not, however, to save us a lot of back and forth posting for nothing: the mark is just the result of her taking necrotic damage from an attack. Nothing more than that.

OOC:
Oh lol, well now I feel silly.
Jan 16, 2018 12:47 pm
After waking up the boys cemos will head over to heart and take a look at her wound. what did this? he says as he points to the black mark on her.
Jan 16, 2018 12:48 pm
OOC:
I'll say disregard the part were Cemos talks about the bones
Jan 16, 2018 3:07 pm
OOC:
don't feel silly... It was just me being all excited and sprinkling around some flavour (I held back on the sound effects, but not for looong)... Get ready for round two:-p

Heartboiler looks at Cemos and then down at her leg. What, oh this? Well that ghost came out of nowhere like wooooosh and he attacked me even though I was just there with my torch not bothering anyone! And he touched my leg andit went all sizzle and auch! So of course I swung at him and then he went away but I was angry so I chased after him, like I told you. But it's just a scratch, so meh, I'll survive, been through way worse.
She starts giggling in short bursts, like she's remembering funny moments, very bad wounds and the like.

Bildaweer wakes up quickly and stands next to Cemos and Heart. Listening carefully, he says seems likely the poor fellow (referring to the ghost) took gems from this structure here. I wonder if something or someone attacked him because of that. Let's have a look at that journal Heart.

OOC:
do like an int or history check on that journal and see if there is any note about that statue or gems.

Also do we think these are the bones of the guy we are looking for?
Jan 17, 2018 5:36 pm
Heartboiler picks up the journal, opens it, closes it, turns it upside down and opens it again, only to close it almost as fast. She hands it over to Bildaweer, a confused look on her face. Here, you try to read it, I don't know what's up or down in this thing... It's just gibberish... You seem the type who is better with words from little men...
She then picks up the papers she found with the gems and potion. She starts reading it and quickly hands them over to Bildaweer as well. Ugh! This man liked numbers too! She looks at the other items, realising there's not really anything she's interested in and shrugs, picking up some gems and turning them over in her hands, then looking through them at the others.
Jan 18, 2018 12:42 pm
heart let me see one of those gems. cemos then walks over to the statue and sees if the gems fit.
Jan 19, 2018 1:04 am
Cemos, as you take the gem into your hands, you note immediately that it likely won't fit. These were clearly cut with jewelry in mind, while the recesses in the statue are much stranger in shape. Even a newborn dwarf would be able to recognize that if jewels were cut to fit the statue, they would look pretty ugly and not really reflect light well at all.

Dramasailor sent a note to wpw1856
If any of you look over the ream of paper that Heartboiler hands over, you recognize the lines of a ledger sheet. It details a vendor named Udhask at the top of it, and rows of potion sales below. The date entries are over 100 years old.
OOC:
Udhask is the name of the person you were meant to come find.

Bildaweer takes a look at the book.This appears to be a spell. Yes . . . Detect Magic, Mage Armor, Feather Fall. Ooohhh . . . looks like new spell that I'm unfamiliar with. Bildaweer sits down and begins studying intensely.
Jan 19, 2018 9:17 pm
could it be that these are the bones or the man we came to find? cemos says aloud as if to ask the group.
OOC:
is there any roll we could do to determine that?[That?

should we then go to where these bones were found?
[ooc]just asking the group on this one. I am good to keep going. We could do a proper short rest so bildaweer can get some slots back.

OOC:
You are pretty sure this is the guy you were sent to find, the interesting point seems to be how old the bones look, since the ghost guy thought he died recently. Perhaps the ghost has a hazy memory of time passage, being dead and all.
Jan 22, 2018 12:39 pm
well I say we bring the bones back to that ghost and see if he knows anything about why we have found bones instead of a body. And perhaps can shead some light on what the ghost said to heart.
Jan 22, 2018 3:28 pm
Bildaweer lifts his head from the book. Barely listening due to his fascination with the book, he merely nods and goes back to studying.
Jan 23, 2018 9:53 pm
Heartboiler nods at Cemos, starting to collect the bones, wrapping them back up in the cloth do she can carry them with her to the ghost. Can you guys take the other stuff?
I think it's best if we just go back to the catacombs and then figure out what the rest of this stuff is or means back at the tavern, where there are spider legs and nice drinks.
