So some questions we need answering are:
Where is the sarcophagus, and subsequent dead body of diderius, from our current location?
Where and how can the Marut be contacted?
Where is this divination scrying pool? The last known location of Varram.
Can the mysterious white colored marble sphere. Which is a magical key. Be used tö help locate the above mentioned??
If the ring, robes and sphere belonged to the arcane magic user of Varrams group. Then why leave them?
For both questions 1 and 3, you're pointed to the eastern door and told to take a left after that.
2. Marut make their home in Mechanus, a lawful neutral plane of existence. Contacting them typically takes powerful conjuration magic, just like trying to contact an angel or a devil.
4. I never said it was white, more importantly the devil doesn't know.
5. They didn't belong to anyone in Varram's group. They're Diderius'
Dai, would it require another Survival check to see if the person(s) dragged south were taken across the throne room into the library and then into the hole? Poljen would not go near that hole, but if he can tell they went that way, that's good enough for now.
There aren't enough traces to work with to be sure. You were only able to determine that much because they were dragged through a bit of blood, which has trailed off.
That stated, the devil claimed no one had been back through their area, and the hole in the library is the only other exit in that direction you know of.
.. And then Daishain introduced the blood mage to our campaign. Sweet!
Daishain, does the maxHP reduction reset after a long rest, or is that a permanent thing?
Who's not that attached to their character and wants to be the martyr that uses this thing to go down in a blaze of glory launching huge spells every round in a boss fight until they're dead?
As sweet as this is (Pending maxHP recovery), it just doesn't feel like Velon. That's too bad!
