Neihao decides to enter the corridor and it is noticeably darker now that you have left the store room.
Neihao checks for anything that might entrap him or the others but does not find anything so he pushes on into the room as the rest of you follow in the same path.
After the corridor you come into a room with three doors. You feel fear come over you. You are not naturally afraid... It is as if you can feel the presence of evil nearby.
The door North is open halfway but unfortunately not wide enough to allow you to see inside. Emanating from the room is light from torches and candles allowing you to better see the room you are in now. You can hear some sort of chants coming from within the room the door leads to. Around you on the walls you can see what appears to be demonic symbols.
The other two doors West and South are both closed.
GM: Say what you wish to do now.
Neihao checks for traps surrounding the path to the door and he finds nothing, so he moves quietly towards it. As he peers through the slits by the hinges he sees the most disturbing things he has ever seen in the dark. A demonic statue sits to one corner of the room with candles adorned around it. The statue is in a form of devouring something below it but you do not know what. It seems to be some kind of worship place. The person who is chanting is facing towards the statue and he has long dark robes on. Behind him are two rather large men clad in armor and robes of a similar nature although not quite as elaborate as the one figure who seems to be conducting a ritual or ceremony. The rest of the room is too dark to tell what else is in there.
Jonathon and Lady Godiva listen to the other doors but hear nothing.
GM: Say what you wish to do now.
The Dark Cleric - Medieval RPG (Hover)
As you start to open the doors they emit a loud creaking sound and you can hear the chanting stop almost immediately. A deep voice from within the lighted room says,
"We are not alone..."
From where you stand both rooms are dark and you can see nothing much.
GM: Say what you wish to do now.
You hear slow foot steps and chains, possibly the kind of chains associated with chainmail armor coming from the room north of where you are. The door widens and you can tell that one of the figures involved in the ceremony is now looking at you with bewilderment in his robes which contain strange symbols you have never seen before.
GM: I need combat rolls from everyone.
The following happens within a few seconds...
Lady Godiva shoots without hesitation and the two arrows go through the air before the robbed man could even think about it. One of the arrows is deflected by his armor but the other sinks deep within him as he gasps and then kneels to the ground clutching to stick poking out of him.
Just after this...
Neihao emerges from the side of the doorway and finishes him off until he is dead.
Just then...
Jonathon remains engulfed in all that happened so quickly as he watches the robbed figure bleeding on the floor.
You then hear from in the room a man say,
"We have been discovered... Quick..."
Then you hear more chainmail as before and the sound of movement.
GM: Say what you wish to do now.
Jonathon's plea goes unanswered as nothing can be heard anymore save for the light crackle of fire light from the wall torches that lights the room with the statue North of your waiting position.
GM: Say what you wish to do now.
Neihao moves into the room with the rest of you behind. The room is some sort of demonic worship chamber with rituals written all over the wall and floor. The room is fairly well lit but you can see no one there as well as no exits and it puzzles you greatly. As you look behind you in the corner of the room just by the door you entered you see a stone statue it looks like some kind of robed warrior and it almost seems to have its gaze on you.
GM: Say what you wish to do now.
Jonathon looks at the statue with awe. It is well designed, almost life like and depicts a man in a robe with chain mail armor underneath. You notice a certain resemblance in the way the dead man is also clad. He has a hunch that it is a replica of what the Dark Cleric might look like... At least now you have a way of identifying him you think.
Neihao enters the room and searches it with caution. At the feet of the statue adorned by candles he can see a sacrificial altar with dried blood on it.
GM: I need another D100 roll for Neihao
Lady Godiva's search reveals a well built man in chain mail armor covered by thick robes. Objects that may be of use:

Long sword
Waist pouch with 29gps
A pouch with some herbs
