The Chalice Of Heironeous

[*Er_Nano_Infame]

while mauric recites his part ayase keeps concentration on the spell , directing the detect magic look around and on the temple and on those inside

[*Midnight]

"These doomguard, you mention they are with it now?"

It would not be lost upon Hasclaan that despite his only referring to them as doomcrows Wainwrought knows the correct name.

"And you can identify them?"

*************************************************************************

The priest a young lady with bags under her eyes probably due to a lack of sleep from healing the sick responds to Mauric's question.

"The temple has been here since before there was a city here they say Heironeous himself told his priests to build it here."

//Diplomacy roll please

As Ayase continues to cast detect magic she would notice all the priests and temple staff have some form of magic about them but none of the patients or commoners do.

Dorian pays no attention to the dissapearance of Ayase. He presumes she is doing what he suggested earlier , gahering information.

He leans close to Mauric and says :"something stinks about this whole setup. Something pulling us and i dare guess its what is pulling the demons. I do not like being manipulated. Whatever is calling us im prepared to destroy it for the manipulation alone."

[*Selebius]

"They were entering the temple when we left. I doubt they came to offer their respects to Heironeus.
And no. I cannot identify them as they wear clothes and masks to prevent this. However this way of dressing makes them easy to find."

Hasclaan realizes the man might be familiar with this faction and its members and also that he was probably correct with this creature being a Bateezu. Now he only needs to find out why it is kept in this place.

((diplo roll 27))

*he whispers* -As we both know they won't go tho this lenght to relieve one of thier own. For revenge however.. Or something threatening their lord. An exile perhaps trapped on this plane. A disthroned Demon Lord. But yes it could be anything. Hopefuly we can relocate the vessel imprisoning it. If only we could loosen the bars of our friend Ramal over there.

[*Er_Nano_Infame]

from his hidden spot, ayase looks at the walls and windows of the temple. usually there are painted cycles of tales illustrated on them, perhaps she can gain some details from those, or from decorative / holy objects eventually displayed. once done, she takes a hidden walk around, to see what less public areas are present in the temple, and how to access them, if possible. she'd look for the access for the roofs as well

[*Er_Nano_Infame]

ayase studies the streets and structures and fortifications of the city for some minutes, as well as keeping the detect magic sight on to spot further magical defenses. the bell tower is a good spot. but she doesn't like not to know what her compainions are up to. she doesnt like all this waste of time since the target is right here close to them.
she casts her look down on the rest of the temple. perhaps some parts of it can be made to collapse without exagerate effort?
her eyes lifts again toward the scenery of the city. perhaps she can localize parts of the city that can appear supsceptible to fires easy to spread or to crumble.
or, furtherly, if she can recognize any building that serves as deposit for food

[*Krayt]

-Aye, time to go. *he turned towards the sides chapel and headed towards the stairs in a qucik pace.* -Ramal you are dawdling, come along now there is new wonders to behold!

[*Agony_Aunt]

"Perhaps we need to have a little time alone with him, see if we can loosen his lips. I believe we are heading below... before we go too far down, let's see if we can persuade our friend to talk."

[*Midnight]

"Then they are dangerously close to meddling in something which they shouldn't, and at the worst time."

He turns to the priest.

"It is your temple, take five knights and detain them."

He turns back to Hasclaan.

"You mentioned the demons and what you know about them. They are roughly a days march away the vanguard is having trouble moving through the woods to the east of the city apparently it has been set ablaze. If there is anything you know that could help now is the time."

*************************************************************************

Ayase would find a great many murals depicting battles and victories, and one that seems out of place. A tapestry woven of silk. It shows a six armed man stealing a silver chalice from the heavens. He takes it to a dark iron tower where he gives it to a man who bares the likeness of a fiend who then hides it away in the iron tower. As she lurks around the temple she finds access to a bell tower and walks up it towards the roof. At thet op she sees a view of the city, about the size of one of Sigil's wards with soldiers lining the walls ready for war.

Meanwhile inside the woman Mauric talks to seems responsive. Whether she believes he is some kind of artist or whether she just has that many sick people to deal with does not matter the result is the same.

"The Crypts are the oldest part head into the side chapel on the left and there is a set of stairs down behind the altar."
