A book and many things to do

[Iron Dragoon]

'Everyone adjusted? If so, let's move. Pale purple light and Sharrans. A bit telling, perhaps?'

[Anastasia]

'Carefully,' Dolmaya says, 'We're ready.

'Ready,' Ianvasah agrees.

'Ready!' Emily sends back.

'Bring them on,' Bastian adds.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa opens the door and slips in, a spell ready just in case!

[Anastasia]

Ahead is a chamber, purple-lit by lanterns that hang from the ceiling from metal chains. They rock back and forth slowly. In the back of this room is a little recess, in which sits a bowl of black stone.

[Iron Dragoon]

'Well that's bait. And certain to be cursed. Keep an eye on it, but let's clear the area before we focus on it.'

My detect magic still running?'

[Anastasia]

Sure, feel free to roll Spellcraft if you're studying it.

If the right offering is made into this bowl, an unholy blessing will be bestowed.

[Iron Dragoon]

'It's a sacrifice bowl. We'll deal with it later but let's not become the sacrifices.'

Is it just an empty room or are there hallways and stuff?

[Anastasia]

Empty room.

[Iron Dragoon]

'Okay, this room is good for defense, but it'll also lock us in here. Do we want to destroy this now or take it and destroy it later and continue to clear this place out?'

[Anastasia]

'Destroy it,' Jarem sends. 'Make progress now.'

'That's only if yo uthink we won't win,' Emily says, 'We'll triumph.'

'And a survivor could take it and flee,' Jarem points out.

'I agree, destroy it,' Dolmaya says at that.

Bastian just shrugs, seemingly uncaring.

[Iron Dragoon]

'Set defenses and I want Jarem and Emily outside the door. Let's not get trapped in here if we can avoid it. Dolmaya,help me with breaking the magic on this thing as fast as we can. Bastian, cover our backs in case there's a second way in we missed.'

[Anastasia]

Everyone takes position, Dolmaya with you. She looks on as she sends, 'Dark magic. You want to dispel it or destroy the item?'

[Iron Dragoon]

'Let's try to dispel it first. Destroying something that might be repurposed is wasteful. Let's check for traps and curses.'
