I think we should get back. I want to see if Twig grows into a sapling when we bury him.

I'll bet he'll be an ash tree.

Schmidt will tie a rope or three around his waist, give the other ends to Heimer and Berthold. In case I feel the need to leave, he remarks. Then, grasphing his holy symbols, he'll approach the altar to give it a good once (and twice) over.

As Schmidt gets closer to the altar, he feels a sense of terror [d20=15] ...that he is able to keep under wraps.

The altar is about four feet high and six feet wide, and has a depression atop, with a dagger resting alongside the depression. The dagger has an untarnished silver blade and an amber handle. Walking behind the altar, Schmidt notices a stone panel near the base that someone had left partially open. Behind the door, in a small compartment, is a leather sack containing miscellaneous coins and bits of non-matching jewelry.

Actions?

[rredmond]

Well, here I am, Schmidt sighs, and he checks the sack closer after ensuring he's still roped. Anything behind it in the compartment, anything other than coin and jewelry in it?

No, that appears to be it (apart from the scrolls on the RM, and rubies from the skeleton, and silvered hammers).

[merias]

Is the consensus to head back to town?

[greyarea]

Let’s topple the altar first, says Berthold.

Sorry for going silent. Wasn’t getting notifications there for a few days it seems.

It happens to me every so often too!

We have to prepare for the evil aura of the altar, Schmidt says slowly, wishing the goosebumps would go down on his arm.

[greyarea]

Oh, so it wasn’t just me? says the fighting man, breathing a sigh of relief. Since you’re there, can we loop a rope around it and pull it down?

[rredmond]

Great idea! Toss it over. Schmidt will look for the best spot to do this. Or several spots, if we need several ropes!
