@AwesomeZero5 @shylarah @vietmyke @RandomguyThe dark knight was scolding the ranger, who had remarked that Goibniu was a noob. Everyone was, at one point, new to the game. He was a noob at one point, so he sympathized with Goibniu. He was taking a moment to take a break and heal himself. Chugging some healing potions and handing some to the other players if needed. “
No problem. Are you okay?” He asked Goibniu while putting away his weapons. Looking quite worried about the centaur. However, he didn’t seem to show the same sympathy for the ranger. His eyes scanned the area in case any other monster wanted to try to ambush them.
“I don’t know. Perhaps it was some spell to try and protect something. I guess some necromancer NPC has been placed here to protect the artifact.”
The ranger, meanwhile, was holding his shoulder. He was somewhat thankful that Elian had given him some healing. “
Thanks.” Muttering while rubbing his shoulders. Glaring at Claudia on her comment. Wanting to get this quest over so he could continue questing by himself.
While looking around, Claudia found some diaries of the monks living there. The monks were living a peaceful life when a wizard of some kind came to the temple, looking for the artifact hidden inside. The wizard killed all inhabitants and used the temple as a base of operations. However, because the temple was quite old, Claudia wouldn’t be sure if the wizard was still there. Goibniu could look for more traps or anything else he wants to study. Whatever they did find, they would need to save it so they could do further exploration. Claudia had a bookshelf that had a crack behind it. With some help, they were able to push the bookshelf away. Behind the bookshelf was a door carved into the stone wall.
“
This doesn’t look good.” The ranger muttered while standing behind the group.
“
It looks like these stairs lead somewhere. Why don’t you take point since you're such a pro?" the knight said to the ranger with a chuckle. The ranger grumbled as the group moved down the stairs. They were now inside a large underground room. In the middle of the room was a significant altar with a state of some figure behind it. The figure was quite eldritch in appearance, looking similar to the H.P. Lovecraft creation
Nyarlathotep. Somewhere in the room, a creature was drawing nearer to the group. A shill screech soon filled the room. A rank smell was coming towards the group. The scent was similar to a rotting corpse that had been left in the sea for many years.
