Outside Grumni hesitated and glanced towards the inn then in the direction of the chaplain uncertainly.
"All this talking has given me a right good thirst but then again it might be better to get all this researching done and out the way." He looked longingly towards the inn once again then sighed.
"Alright lads, lets go see this Abercrombe bloke."

"Right ... hard to concentrate on food with death goddesses and dead orcs on my mind. Whatever have we gotten ourselves into?"

Grumni shrugged.
"As long as its profitable and does Moradin's work I don't mind."

Rolo felt the bulging bag of coins he'd received earlier and smiled, "Yeah, you're right on that account Sir Dwarf!"
He accompanied the dwarf with a bit of a bounce in his step; all thoughts of death and death goddesses having been pushed aside by visions of chests and coffers overflowing with gold, gems, and other riches.
"Yep, this is the life for me!" he said to no one in particular.

Rand was late getting to the bakery, since he had stopped off for an ale on the way.
Once inside, he avoided all the pie crumbs and brought out his piece of the kobold throne.
Brother Martin, I brought back some culture. Took it from the kobold throne room. Is this the kind of stuff you were looking for?
*looks at all the pie crumbs, getting hungry*

Having burned all the corpses in the orc cavern, the party has pitched camp in one chamber to rest up and heal. Scene opens around the small cooking fire.

Quite an exciting end to the day! As if chasing off a couple of bandits wasn't bad enough, Eli had to contend with hordes of Zombies and enraged wildlfe. This kind of thing hadn't been on the curriculum at the academy, that is to say, all at once! The whole episode had left him feeling a bit fatigued and as soon as he was able, he would try to get some rest.
But first, there was the small matter of a growling stomach to take care of. Digging into his pack, he brought out some of the trailbread he purchased at the bakery during his short visit to Kendall Keep. Unwrapping a cloth shroud around a hard cheese, he cut a piece off and looked for somewhere comfortable to sit. With his back against the wall of the cave, he noticed his companions were doing much the same thing as he ate.

Barrin sat down heavily on the cave floor and leaned against a wall. He pulled out an oiled cloth and tried to wipe off the Orc blood from his armor. Finishing that grizzly task, he packed the cloth away and pulled out an iron ration and unwrapped it, eating in silence. Afterwards, he looked over at Eli appraisingly for a few moments before addressing him: "Yer pretty good with that stick, lad, but we be needin more than that soon, I reckon. 'ow's yer finger waggling?"

Grumni poured some water over his head and scrubbed his beard in an effort to get the smell of roasting orc out of it. It had been a day of grim tasks that was for sure.
The knowledge that from now on any foe they vanquishd might rise again as the undead sent a shiver down his spine. Still, the dwarf took comfort in knowing he was doing Moradin's work by taking the fight to the death cultists.
He watched the others eating by the fire and though his stomach rumbled the thought of eating after the sickening orc barbeque dispelled any thoughts of food.

Eli turned his gaze from a slightly green looking Grumni to the other dwarf of the party, Barrin.
"My dear dwarf, 'Finger waggling' as you so quaintly put it, has it meirts when the appropriate situation demands it. I used my...eh.. staff for the most part against the zombies as I deemed the danger posed by them not to demand the full application of my mastery of the Arcane Art," he said with a slight air of superiority.
"However, I will concede that the sheer numbers of the Undead would have overwhelmed my capacity to deal with them all at this moment in time. I am therefore glad to be in the company of such stout-hearted folk as yourselves. I'm sure we can all work together for our mutual benefit."

Barrin listened to Eli and just shrugged. "Whether it be by finger waggling or using yer stick, lad, yer a good fighter and be welcomed 'mongst us."

Grumni raised a bushy eyebrow.
"I don't want to see him wigling his stick at me Barrin, that's something a man should keep private." He whispered to Barrin.

Rolo scrounged through his pack and pulled out a small package of nuts, dried fruit and granola; “trail mix” was the common term for this traveler’s fare. He located a suitable spot near the fire and sat down and slowly ate his snack, listening to the banter between the dwur and Eli as he reflected on the day’s events in his mind.
“Zombies … only good thing I can say about them is that they are slow,” he said to anyone who cared to listen.
“I do wonder though, what has caused them to arise like this? Someone or something has to create them, no? Do you think this death goddess’s shrine could be causing this? If so, it must be nearby don’t you think? Grumni? Eli? Either of you know much about zombies?”
“Oh, and I expect we will be posting a watch, eh? I can take the first shift if you like, not really that tired at the moment …”

The priest takes his ration and eats slowly, then before getting ready to rest retires for a moment to pray for the fallen, even if orcs their souls deserve find eternal rest, and not turn into zombies.
When he returns hears the conversation and amused sits to keep along with it. He understand less than half of it about fingers staff and all those things, assumes that one of this new companions must be some sort of wizard or spell caster. With a smile shakes head and stands, then hears Rolo’s wise words and agrees.
Yes, and I will take the second watch, anyway I’m not sure If I will be able to rest knowing that someone has plans to wave his staff among us.
Chuckles and wraps his cloak to rest.

As he finished his snack of trail mix, Rolo’s eyes wandered about the cavern they had decided to camp in to recover from the earlier adventures.
Picking himself up, he began to make a more careful inspection of the cavern, slowly walking along its perimeter studying the floor, walls and ceiling; and using a torch to peer into the shadows to ensure there was nothing lurking here that they were not aware of.

"Zombies are vile creatures, an abomination against the natural order." Grumni commented grimly.
"Me Moradin given gifts allow me to turn 'em back to dust but I still don't like to see them pop up under me nose."
"We've got a bit of a problem here lads. Every time we send a foe to the grave they ain't going to stay there long. Only way to put a stop to this is to find the necromancer involved but I don't know much about the dark arts."

Rolo nodded at Grumni’s words and took some comfort in the fact that Good seemed to triumph over Evil – or perhaps the Living triumphed over those who were not …. He’d seen the power of the dwur priest’s god against these … things; but, there were so many of them, and they just kept coming at you, knowing no fear, never turning aside. And the way they were ALL dead, neatly stacked … almost like a “harvest”; he shuddered at that last thought.
More than ever, he was happy to have the first watch-- no chance at sleep with visions of necromancers and undead apparitions milling about his mind. He selected a suitable place just outside the light of the fire, near the cavern’s entrance from where he could see both the cavern where they were camped as well as the cave leading to it. Blending into the shadows as best he could, he made himself comfortable and began his watch in earnest; eyes and ears searching the darkness ahead for any sign of movement. He was wishing he knew more about the setting of traps rather than their avoidance … something he would have to consider later if the opportunity arose.
