Aye, through the large area. Let's clear this place. So we can clean it out
of such treasure as we can carry off. Then come back later to take the rest,
and cleanse this hole.
Sean starts softly singing his grim battle song. "lay me doon, in the cold
cold groon..."

Rarmuck or Joseph might make some comments, but those will have to wait.
Ok, closing the door and going southeast through the large area?

"Maybe. The number of Artorian priests I'm familiar with here in the new lands
is quite few, numbering to only Beathan and myself. He's only minimally more
powerful than I am last I knew. I don't know that it takes one of my own faith
to do a Forbiddence for my own inner sanctum. I doubt the crypt we found that
contained our artifacts was consecrated by my faith. I'd suspect that of the
healer god's sect but who knows, it might be multi-denomination, similar to the
church in RL. I think it did have different colors for different gods in
different areas of the crypt. The combine spell, which seems to be what you are
referring to, each person casting the magic has to know and have the spell
prepared. The magic is then augmented to greater duration and amount of
resistance to being dispelled, along with other variable factors. Owing to that
Bethan and myself are the only casters of my faith that I know of, I can't say
I've gotten the opportunity to participate in a Combine, ceremonial magic. I
think it caps out at maybe 8 casters but I could not be certain off the top of
my head. Dedication or investiture rituals, certain ones might benefit from
such magics though. " Elmore.

"Apologies, Speaker, just thinking out loud. I imagine that, with the proper
sacrifices, Artor's hand would make such things possible. I have heard it said
that if you write a good prayer, our Lord will grant you good results" (OOC:

"I'm under the opinion that the sooner we get my holy font created the

idea. If we can match that with a local source of oil, pitch or other flammable
that would burn hot enough, that would be another good resource to acquire. If
there is an enchantment and the actual enchantment stems from further in, I
don't know that such would be sufficient to merely burn and lob holy water at
the entrance altar. The Forbiddence Spell has a good bit of magical juju
behind it, something I'd want in an inner sanctum of a temple but may be quite
a while before I have the magical chops to be able to cast myself. " Elmore

"Such were my thoughts as well, Speaker. I had hoped that the Nalba shrine

potent, if that's the right word, and perhaps as much as a shrine to evil as
Zazerial and Lattimore's resting place is to good. Everything in opposition,
my friend. Something I thing Carandolana's sect might concur with?"

That's enough for now. He backpedals. "Speaker, this might be something for
you, Pomeroy and Carandolana to deal with. Or maybe we bring in an Ulsarian
expert, or a paladin, or a great big dragon or something. We should seal this,
if not today, tomorrow. Carandolana, would you be willing to shape the stane
so that it cannot be opened short of shaping the stone or excavating it? I
know you probably cannot access that prayer today, but this feels like
something, well, beyond me, that's for sure. Speaker, I suspect Zazerial would
be beside himself with rage at this abomination."
I am sure there is no way for Sean to ascertain when the shrine was last used,
especially when standing outside the chamber, peering in with his flashtube.
But he'll try to gat a handle on it regardless.
"Anybody here a demonologist? or a Devil expert? I suspect some sort of
devil. It doesn't get more antithetical to my personal philosophy than that."

If Sean enters the small altar room, he will sense a shiver of pure evil jolt

The topmost skull does look like it is from the lower outer planes. Not sure
what. Not a vrock.What else might he be looking for?
