Tethwan moves to bind the wretch with rope.
He cuts a strip of cloth from his cloak and tries to stuff it in the man's mouth as well to hopefully stifle any outcry.
"He knows this place, we may get something out of him that could lead to further secrets and perhaps a treasure room...but I will follow your wishes."

Tying the son up and says, " mother and the hound are in a crypt down the stairs completing the ritual. The girls essence is sent to a stone which is then crushed into a powder to make a potion that restores her beauty. She has been obsessed with this for a while and she spent most of the money on traveling clerics, potion sellers , until she found the book in the library hidden by grandmother. Grandmother and her mother were killed over the years accused of being witches. Mom vowed to never follow in the family line but did anyway. The ritual should be almost finished. Even though I was a part of this please don't kill her."

After tying him up and dealing with Reginald, your group enters the crypt. Descending down the stairs about twenty feet there is a hallway that moves ahead thirty feet before opening into a lit chamber. The sound of female chanting can be heard along with another darker, gruffer language. Down this hallway is ten feet wide and at the twenty feet there is a small alcove on the left and right. There is a small plaques in each of these alcoves.
Intentions?

Palandar decides to quickly check the plaques

Post by dtspurrier1 on Mar 20, 2024 13:28:49 GMT -6
The plaques on top of each alcove are listed as Simone Cabell, revered mother but with a slash through it and a symbol instead. The plaque to the right s older and is Nicola Cabel, honored wife and also a symbol replaced. Each of the symbols is referred to dark magic or possibly witch craft. Nicole was Simone's mother and Simone was Katarina mother. These alcoves go into a five foot room with a casket in each. The caskets are wood and covered with dust.

Entering the chamber is a small thirty feet long by twenty feet wide. A casket it stacked lengthways along the east wall. IN the center of the room surrounded by candles is an old pentagram. Chanting to a demonic creature is Katherine. You notice she looks about ten years younger. The demon sees your group and yells at her and a dark red crimson dog " deal with these intruders use your abilities I have given your family coven. Nostromos you were commanded to serve Katherine deal with them as well. Then in a purple flash of smoke it disappears.
Intentions?

Torlak will switch his attack to the large hound as he is seeing that as the biggest threat to him at the moment.

(Apologies for my lateness in replying)
Tethwan rushes again to the evil hound to take another stab at it as it attacks Torlak.
Can he try for a backstab attack?
