"Perhaps you should speak to the cleric, he may be able to help...Though I can't imagine how." Alexander tries to think of something to change the subject.
"Y'know, it always seems odd to me that people should be so surprised when I tell them I worship ALL of the Gods. Well, the Gods dealing with Good aspects, anyways. I mean, who are we to presume we understand anything of what a God is thinking? Why should it be blasphemous to respect them all equally? I often wonder if the Gods really care...It seems more a thing of man than a God, to limit oneself to only one way of viewing the world. "

Razing an eyebrow Matt shakes his head lightly no, as he responds.
"You are a very strange man. And a lucky one, I might add. My look of shock was mostly that a man with thoughts such as that is still alive. I suppose the fact that you are not already stuck dead for having such a radical mind is proof enough that your view must have some merit... But, I can't see how."
He takes a deep breath and stops taking as they pass back over the bloody seal on the floor.
"Besides, the more we have read in to the dam books we have been finding the more the group and I has been talking about this place being less of a test by the gods, and more a death trap, made at the hands of man in there name. We have been starting to think the gods may have a task for us to do for them down here, personally it's been disturbing the madness in some of the pages, but others seam to hold sanity and knowledge that may aid us. So, who knows."

Alexander laughs shakily, "All men are strange, each in their own way, and all views have merit. Unless that view involves harming others for pleasure or greed...or vengeance..." He looks at the ground, unable to diguise the shame on his face.
After the tense silence of the Blood Seal room, he and Matt return to their conversation. "You mean the book Praos was holding? " He pauses, looking at Matt. "What did it say?...Wait, you said books. What did they say?"

Out Of Game: KittenPunk, on the map, what are those white stuff on the floor? Ice?
In Game: When Felipe goes inside the entrance and approached in the new area, Felipe thought to himself, "hmm, more hallways?"
"Uh, yes books... We found 2 so far, um... Book 1 and book 12 of some sort of larger set. An religious explorer it seems wrought them down here, think he said 10 years a go. One of are group Praos, knew the writers name to be some one big in his order. He is carrying the books. Izumi and him both think they are important, that last one though sent a chill down my spine. I don't know why they are scattered out of order in the dungeon but its creepy some of the stuff in them. Some of it talks of bring a god back to life, and other bits seam to talk about a chosen group. He will likely let you look at them when we meat back up and get a chance." Matt exclaims.
Out of game:
The white stuff on the map is webs, a lot of spider webs. Creepy sticky huge spiderwebs.

"I would like that...I...had a dream...it sounds silly, but..." Alexander takes a deep breath, and carries on in a rush. "A voice commanded me to 'follow the books'. I think we were supposed to meet down here..." He barks a half-hearted laugh, "Makes me feel like someone's manipulating us, pulling our strings..."
The group finds themselves in a set of hallways, doors with no locks divide the hall from the fist large room. As soon as the group passes this fist doorway the webs go from lightly lining the walls to covering most of the ceiling and walls a s well as the floor. Small spiders no bigger then you would think to find in a town home scatter about in large numbers. Even for the vast number of them the webs appear to be to thick and large for mere spiders to of created.
The group slowly moves forward till they are just outside the 1st large room.
Haru speaks up and says. "The fist time I came down here the spiders stayed small for the fist several rooms before I found a big one. But, they chased me all the way out to the acid room, and on my 2ed attempt I found on of the large ones down here in a section of hallway that branches out but that is still a bit farther ahead."
Meanwhile.
Matt says, "Manipulating us... Yea I guess I feel the same way, you are not the only one that has had odd dreams, I did and I have herd couple others say they did nut so far no ones really talked about it. At fist I thought in mine I saw my birth mother but I am starting to wander if its not something or some one pulling on are deepest desires and toying with us."
As they get to the acid pit room he lifts his cloak to his mouth as they go to make there passing.
Praos looks arround him in search for anything out of the ordinary, including the webs. Listening to what Haru had to say, he turns to the group " I say we wait for the other two here and then move forward carefully. The books said that we have to reach the water and then we will be safe from the spiders. If one could pass this part, I think an organised group should not face any real trouble ." And with that he tries to focus on listening to what lies behind the door .
