The Wayfarer's Inn

Yes, your true seeing is still working. There's nothing unusual about the lotus flower except that it is made of iron.

Ivid comments "From the runes in the corridor, I think our quest is through these main doors in front of us, but I want to be sure that nothing comes after us from these secret side passages..." while maintaining his watch.

Ahi says to the whole party, "sorry, I don't trust this evil one as far as I can throw his iron mummies. Now we've opened another front from which to defend ourselves. I'd like to somehow ensure these mummies don't activate before moving on, and my gut is saying it involves the removal of this flower - I'd like to smite it with my Uas Rod - even though I no longer believe these to be golems, I don't know of any other way to accomplish that task. I agree with Ivid that our quest is through the main skeleton doors, but after dealing with the mummies I think we should check out the secret corridors before heading that way. My only worry is that the mummies and side corridors are set up to weaken us before we get to the evil one; so that being said I'd go with the general consensus of the party as to what action to take first. In the end the evil one must fall, and all paths lead that way." Ahi will take out his Rod and remain focused on the lotus while awaiting party assent.

Ivid replies "Go for it..."

Kherim looks first at the hidden doors at both sides of the chamber then he looks to the grotesquely graven doors at the far end of the chamber. "Both the mummies and secret chambers delay us on our mission. As the revered Ahi stated he could find no traps in this chamber, I believe we must go forward. I say our path lies through this blasphemous portal."

Gaderon states, "I would rather not go forward, leaving these areas unexplored behind us. I think they should be dealt with first."

So what is going to happen now?

Kherim nods, "Very well friend Ivid, there is wisdom in what you say. Let us secure our flanks before proceeding forward."
