Two small sized urns have been placed at the foot of the dais in the temple's catacombs. One is filled with water which was faintly opaque in colouration and the other urn was filled with what appeared to be plain dirt. There are no obvious signs of why the two urns were placed in the catacombs.

After waiting for some time, the pointedly agitated Necromaster seems to make her way into her office slamming the door shut behind her. Patience is a virtue, though, the Necromaster isn't known for being overly virtuous.

*A note would be left in accordance for the Necromaster. It reads* I am a seeker, seeking further knowledge and avenues to travel. I wish to not only discover more power but how to better serve the Lord of the forsaken. If I may beseech you to set a time and place, if not here. So that we could speak and perhaps find me a place in service to the Vaunted

Seeker,

You may often find me attending to business within temple or around the city and during the midnight vigil.

May the Lich Lord grant you knowledge and power,
- Necromaster Laura Jarshall

Sounds of Plated boots echo into the congregation of the Vaunted,
The quiet Atmosphere disturbed by the cracking of Ice.
The temperature continues to plummet as the presence entered the congregation.

"I have come upon your beckoning."

A young seeker can be found most often in the library reading a book or rummaging through the shelves. Only when not in the library he could be seen headed for the Temple of the Vaunted

The Necromaster stands outside the temple early one morning, just as the sun rises over the horizon. Her Greater Mummy holds on to a sizeable stack of parchment and charcoal sticks. With the assistance of the Spider Climb spell, the Necromaster begins the tedious task of copying the runes found on the large runic pillars situated outside the temple on to the parchment with the charcoal. A meticulous task that takes up a large portion of the day.

As the sun sets, she gathered the stacks of parchment and made her way to her office. A long night of study was ahead.

The young seeker could be found staring, gazing or even gawking at one of the six sarcophagi, after a while he'd cast a spell and return looking over it. The time spent for meals were taken as he sat in front of it and ate. Studying the grooves and small red etching or perhaps simple scratches that could be seen.

Those who frequent the lower levels of this temple would find the hooded figure standing within the Undercroft. Now seemingly looking over the large tome and bookshelf all together. Casting onto himself every so often and then returning to search over the old books. skimming the nearby walls and even the torch at one point.

The Necromaster, along with a Greater Mummy and another hooded figure can be seen inspecting through the Sarcophagi in the temple. The Greater Mummy opening each of them, one by one, with the two hooded figures inspecting the insides for what may or may not be within.

As the hour approached midnight, the Necromaster and the High Arcanist could be seen descending into the catacombs of the Vaunted Temple. A few hours pass and they are finally seen emerging with a third - A Blaspheme follows the Necromaster through the court and out into the portal dock where they disappear into a minor portal.

Within the alchemy lab of the temple, the Necromaster has taken to the study and practice of alchemical distillation. The tome 'Alchemical Distillation for Dummies' occupied her spare time as she simultaneously reads and practices. Often times smoke pours from the room, causing her to evacuate and retrieve a new change of robes, her old robes now having been drenched or covered in some pungent-smelling experiment-gone-wrong.

On a plaque on the door into the lab reads the following;


Undead do not enter. Positoxins in use.

Over the last few days since the Necromaster's keenly invested interest in brewing, there is notably fewer accidents occurring in the lab. Not to say they have stopped entirely, there are still a few hisses and cusses coming from the room as smoke, steam and gods-only-knows what else floods the room and decorates the once-morbidly dark ceiling. Progress to some or a disaster waiting to happen. She continued her work brewing away experimentally, refining her new found art.

Outside the Temple of Velsharoon, the Necromaster seems to be once again studying the glowing obelisks. After some visual examination, a profound silence fell over the Necromaster and she lowered her head slightly for a moment. After the silence, she withdrew her tome and began writing furiously.

Incense burns away at the base of the obelisks and four strips of ivory are placed in a rectangle at the Necromasters feet as she invokes a spell, focused on the obelisks before her. Those knowledgeable in Spellcraft would know the spell as Legend Lore.

Following the Legend Lore casting, there was a long moment of silence as the information the spell gave her was contemplated in her mind. Her hand writes hastily across the vellum page of her personal journal and muttered almost incoherently under her breath. Snapping the book shut and tucking the quill behind her ear she made her way back into the temple, not to re-emerge for the remainder of the eve.

"It will be interesting to know for certain." The Necromaster mused to herself as she entered the temple only an hour away from midnight. She made her way into her office and entered the veiled sanctum cautiously, only to return a moment after with a box in hand and returned to the floor. In the remaining minutes of the day she knelt before the idol and prepared an arrangement of four strips of ivory and two sticks of expensive incense. With a click of her fingers, a small flame appeared and she lit both sticks and waited for them to burn on their own before quenching the minor cantrip.

The bells tolled for midnight, and the Lord of the Forsaken Crypt turned his eye towards his following. It was now that she began to incant the verbal components and her hands made intricate motions around a small orb of energy that appeared between her palms. The casting had only lasted a few seconds before the orb of energy enveloped the Necromaster and disappeared in a dim flash of light. The casting was a success, but the after effects weren't so noticeable...

Holo Jarian walks slowly into the temple, asking for the Necromaster as he is in urgent need of some healing. He sits down in the front row, praying for a short while and then leaning back, trying not to move.

I am not a charity, offer a tithe to the Lich Lord and you shall be cleansed. Otherwise you will need purchase a healing kit from the temple quartermaster, Ramin. Was the response given to him by the Necromaster after she descended from her office for what looked like the first time in ages. She then went in silence to pray before the idol to her patron.

// slight time warp here, as Holo left the temple soonish after this, but anyway ...
Holo soon found a more charitable inclined (?) cleric in the courtyard instead.

A small bottle of unholy water has been left at the feet of the idol, after a ritual offering of blood. The Seeker who left it would return each day in the late hours of the evening, to leave a donation to the temple - ensuring the bottle and it's content was not disturbed.

A slim arcanist walks in the Temple of Velsharoon to pay his prayers. He spots the small bottle of unholy water with interest, but doesn't press into it. Perhaps he just isn't the type to pry in someone's rituals. HoJo pays his respect to Velsharoon then departs silently.

At some point during the night, with a final donation of blood to the idol - a man in heavy black and brown robes took the bottle of unholy water. And departed into the gloom of the city's streets..
