///sorry for not replying swiftly///

serin would have followed into the temple sneaking, if by the door or some other openings depend on what would be available, after taking a look for alarms, traps and whatnot.
she'd keep some distance while checking where and what that place ''somewhere away from curious eyes and ears'' is, before to decide if to try to spy further, if she has to get dangerously close to do so, or if the place might appear like a potential trap hard to escape from, or if she can eavesdrop from a safer distance. a thing she can do is to morph into a small viper and slither and spy from narrow unnoticeable spots.
((i don't expect nor demand she having been able to spy effectively what had been said at this point since it seems the right moment has gone, you tell me)).

in any way, she'd wait for when the group gets back out and depart, if they do, to decide what to do next.

The Yuan Ti is only able to understand part of what is said, what is going on- the place well warded, well protected. Not everything that happens seems to be pleasant- there are whispered words, there are screams, there is the smell of blood.

Emila seemed to have gotten some adresses and the layer of Brux has been mentioned a few times.

If anything unpleasent had happened in the temple Emila would give no sign of it as she stepped back outside. She would be as calm and poised as ever. She joins the waiting dustmen and the four of them would form a circle around her as they sereenly make their way back towards the hive. Emila speaks quietly to those of the fifth circle who acompany her.

"I plan on baiting a trap. Have the namer collecters who answer to you nring me a days worth of bodies each. It is time we got a look at what we are dealing with."

Two of the robed figures nod and then hurry away towards the mortuary.

Emila waits for the corpses she asked for to be gathered. She takes five or six of them along with the help gatheres who bought them. She places them in a clump in undersigil making sure they represent far too tempting a target to ignore. She dismisses the other dustmen and then her form wither cracks and shrinks leathery wings sprouting from her back. In a few seconds Emila is gone and there is just a bat perched upside down from the ceiling over the pile of bodies. She settles in for a long wait.

A few hours pass.. nothing unusual happening. Then there is a centipede.. and another one... and soon a few thick corpse flies gather near the corpses.

They approach carefully, clearly not behaving like they should. More and more of the creatures gather near the corpses and there is a change in their humming and rustling ((emmy may use spellcraft here) and one of the corpses gets up... then falls down again and it almost seems as if the vermin is.. disappointed?

Then the rustling and humming intensifies and a new wave of beetles arrive- but those seem to be different? ((spot check might tell you more))

They gather and slowly form a humanoid shape, their tiny bodies melting into what seems to be a dessicated corpse, covered with glyphs and runes, smelling of essences and incense and oils. ((spot and lore if you want))

The creature looks around and then with a few mumbled words and some gestures the corpses rise, one after the other, the swarm getting agitated, crawling all over the newborn undead, infesting their new hosts eagerly.

Forming up into a grisly procession the undead walk down the tunnels, deeper into Undersigil while their leader(?) turns into a swarm of bats, fluttering around Emila wildly before vanishing down a nearby chute.

Serin *would* be tailing and observing, hidden and slithering shapeshifted as a viper as soon as the action pass to undersigil

((if she witnesses what happened above she can make the same rolls to find out what is going on of course))

Emila stays stock still not allowing the bats that flutter around her to unsettle her and gave her away. She watches everything that happens.

//As for the skill checks, here goes

Spellcraft:



Spot:



Spot again:



and finally lore:



//True to form I cannot roll higher than a four.
