"Thanks Herja. How long does this lasts anyways?"

The door was locked but Alden manages to unlock it. No traps detected. Upon opening, there is a feeble warcry and a crazed looking hermit of an old man rushes at you, walking stick raised in attack.

He must not have heard you over his wailing war cry
Oct 12, 2015 6:13 pm
"Sigh... Here we go again..."

Esteber attempts to whack the old man over the head with the pommel of his sword like he did last time.

"Hey, what the..."

Grinning at the confused gauntlet the team has arranged, Bart decides against sullying Gertrude's blade and throws a heavy haymaker at the crazed man as he approaches.

Bart knocks the wind out of the old man's sails who quickly slumps to the ground, panting...
"Oh...you...your...your not Cathla....or cultists.... Are you...from the Adventurer's Guild?" He says, holding his jaw.

The old man stands up.

"I am Jerrol Atarin. I'm overjoyed that you have found me, adventurers! We must leave this place quickly, as the Cathla can move through any water supply from a cup to a lake." I need to return to Praern with my findings and bid for additional workers and support...but this place is not safe now."

These chambers appear to have once been a meeting hall or dining room of the cult. On the east wall of the main chamber, a slime covered mural depicts the re-imagined goddess surrounded by a number of robed, praying cultists.

Please make a MND+IN check (add alertness if you have it)

"Ah, Mr. Atarin. The rumors of your demise have been greatly exaggerated... We are indeed from the Adventurer's Guild. I agree, we should leave this place, I kind of had enough of it... Let us talk on the way out..."

Esteber is not paying much attention as he,s in more of a hurry to get out of here with his charge.

Alden sees a faded mural on one of the room's walls of worshipers gathered around the blue beauty. Alden recognizes similarities in some of the faces. He sees Lord Delmar Miles, a bit younger, of course, as well as the silent woman who was with him. The main priest definitely is (or was) Lord Crandall Apperson - whom you combated as a water-logged ghoul. In Lord Apperson's face, you see a family resemblance in young Lena whom you met in Delmar's care.

Before he has time to tell the others you hear a distant gargling shout and a conch shell horn blowing.
Oct 13, 2015 1:00 am
"The hell was that? Maybe Lord Miles is calling us for dinner..."

"It is the Cathla, they must know you've opened the door - we must flee! They are trying to get me!" Atarin exclaims as he grabs his rucksack, filled with notebooks, tools and small artifacts.

As the group starts to leave, Herja brings out the flute and shows it to Atarin. "Would you happen to know what this is?"

The panicky old man, once concerned about only escape, pauses at looks at the shell speckled instrument. "Oh...a Cathla flute...early period... notice how the holes accommodate the clawed and webbed digits...ah...beautiful specimen..."

In the distance you hear scuttling feet and gurgling, guttural orders being given.
Oct 13, 2015 1:35 pm
"Come on run, we'll have time for that later..."
Oct 13, 2015 2:43 pm
"I agree, let's make haste, and if we end up fighting, we must protect Atarin."
