Izumi refocuses as Alexander catches her looking. She responds with, "I've seen that pendant before. A previous adventurer sketched it while down here alone.
She then looks to be thinking for a moment. Izumi then asks aloud, "How long have we traveled from Rudigars body? Matthias and our new friend Alexander could possibly go back and get his clothes....and a boot for Haru. I don't think Rudigar would mind if it was for a good cause."
She paces for a moment, trying to mentally list the groups arsenal. The group has an extra sword, a dagger, and Matthias still has the two spears. She asks to Haru, "Are you comfortable with that spear, or would you like a sword or dagger as well? We have them if so.
Matt replays. "It's been hours of walking I swear that hallway was getting longer as we walked it."
He then adds, "That well should should prove handy to wash his clothing, and I am positive we will find your son a new boot, as we have already seen the deeper we go the more body's seam to pile up."
Haru answers his mother. "I rather have a flute or bow, you know I was never any good with blades, despite your best efforts to teach me mom."
"All right then. Matthias, you help Alexander with a bit of clean up. The rest of us will start down a bit, but we'll try to go slow so you can catch up."
Izumi looks back to her son, "Haru, how's the way down there? Any traps that we need to watch out for or deactivate? Also, how far down have you gotten?"
"My...pendant? I found it when I awoke...It has strange properties..." Alexander thinks of De Bar Ren, focusing on truth, as he looks at the pendant.
He glances up, hearing Izumi's last comment. "I just came from that direction...the way is clear for a while, then there's a room full of webs, and then a pile of bodies. Whatever is beyond, I have no idea. Nothing attacked me in the webbed room, but if something IS there it's probably aware something passed through its lair."
Alexander will follow Matt
Matt nods and offers to lead Alexander, back to the well.
Haru speaks up replaying to the question. "There is a small network of rooms and doors no traps that I have found but a lot of small spiders and webs the halls seam to be thin in key points to prevent the larger spiders form getting past but some of them can. The 2 times I tried to pass I made it into a network of deeper rooms that began to look more and more cave like, but the spiders where huge and I was outnumbered, retreating was the only thing that saved my life."
"There where no body's there when I tried before." Haru adds. Then thinking for a moment "Any of them have boots?" He smiles for the fist time since seeing his mother and joining the group. (Aside from the tear felt reunion.)
The pendant only changes when you spin it. But you do so offering a demonstration of how it takes on the form of any holy symbol.
With that the 2 men head back toward the blood seal room and the make shift camp. While the others can scout past the end of the acid pit room in to the next set of rooms.

"Um..." Alexander stops and thinks for a second, "Yea, I do believe there were boots. I can't imagine they'd be in much better state than mine at the moment...but they'll serve."
Alexander hugs the wall and steps as carefully as he can as he crosses the blood seal, attempting not to touch it.
"Do you have any idea what the hell this thing is?" He asks Matt.
A moment later, attempting to make conversation, "So who's Rudiger?"

Having traveled all the way back to the well Matt waits off off to the side as Alexander scrubs his clothing and washes himself off.
"Some of the others do the 'magic thing' not me. They said something about it detects magic and I forgot what more they said it did or did not do, I think they could not tell what it did in its entirety." He shrugs.
"Rudiger was with us from the beginning but fell pray to a rooms traps shortly after..." He stops as if listening in the distance. Waiting a moment before going on.
"He died in a pit of spikes. We recovered his body and laid him respectfully out, but there is little more then bare hallways to offer for a grave down here. We do not know why his god forsaken him after granting him gifts such as we all have seemed to of gotten."
Matt eyes your weapon as he speaks.
"So who do you pray to? And... Who has granted you such a lovely blade."
Alexander listens for a moment when he sees Matt stiffen.
"I pray to whichever deity most suits the circumstance. They all have their place. As for the sword, I have no idea. It IS quite a work of art, to be sure."
