The Wayfarer's Inn

Gaderon rushes to give Sol his potion of Extra Healing.

Then he looks around and notices the missing faces "I guess I don't have all of the power I used to have. I thought we were all about to die in a few moments and didn't know what else I could do but to get as many of us out as I could. I am sorry. I have failed us again."

He sits down and for the first time sheds tears for Asterion, Ivid and Elmo.

Kherim silently puts his hand over Gaderon's shoulder, then kneels at his side.

"Friend, you did not fail. If anyone did, we all did. But I thank you for having done what you did, otherwise we'd all be there dead now. I hope yet to be able to do something for Ivid and Elmo, if gods can help in such cases, but if not, at least to avenge them and finish what we started. That was my vow and still is, I am not backing up of this fight, just retreating to get stronger and hit evil back again with greater determination and might.

Don't despair, we all need you and count on you to help us... Let's see, first, if the priests of this land can help us get our strengths back"

Sol breaths a sigh of relief as he realizes that Tizona (his sword) was under him and was teleported with him. He sits up and takes it in his hand and casts all of the swords healing spells on himself to try to recover as much as possible.

Once everyone is ready to return, Gaderon will cast his teleport spell to put us in the SW corner of the large chamber.

Spell roll: 81

Sol will have Tizona drawn and his mithral, no longer magic, shield ready for action.

After a successful teleport, you're all back in the Great Hall. All is quiet here at the moment. The destroyed copper skeletons still lie at the same place where you had defeated them, but the regrown wall inlays with bronze skeletons this time are still there too! Fortunately, they haven't started moving yet.....

What you can see from that area of the hall in which you had battled the mummies, is that there are strangely no traces of the fallen acid jars on the floor, nor are there any markings on the floor where the acid had burned the stone. It is as if nothing had happened there.....

Kherim looks around without pacing from his spot. What about the skeletons, are they still of the same material we defeated the first time?

Ahi notices the other room and wonders at the immaculate floor.
"Could those jars have been an illusion? Something just to scare us off in the mummies' direction?"

"We should not stay in this room", Kherim warns the others. "Let's move forward."

Ahi stops him with a hand on his shoulder, and says

"Wait a moment, please. I want to test a theory. The acid jars, remember..."

"Gaderon, I can not detect if there is magic somewhere, but not its kind. Do you have a magic detection spell ready? If not, I will cast it nevertheless."
