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.

Sean pauses. "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: channeling Father Brennan, of General Patton's
staff...)

"I'm under the opinion that the sooner we get my holy font created the
better. Having our own source for holy water seems like an increasingly
good 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 under the petrified dragon bones would have sufficed, but this seems
more... potent, if that's the right word, and perhaps as much as a shrine

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 through him. This is an area of something very much opposite of his
worldview. 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?
