Everyone exits the temple and tries to clear the memories (as well as
nostrils) of the sight and scent of death. Wulfgar kneels at the statue
of his beloved Callus and prays. Anselm and several other priests exit
the temple, as Anselm orders Randos' remains to be buried on holy ground
as is fitting a priest of Callus. The group is sickened by the carnage
they have witnessed and wish nothing more than to be away from this
place.
Wulfgar rises shakily to his feet, his eyes sparkle and he grins. He turns
and looks at the others then raises his head to look at the statue "It shall
be done my brother! Many will remember you more so for this great deed which
even in death you endeavour to complete!" He turns and looks for Gareth.

Kay spends a moment taking in some clean air and rubbing her somewhat soar
hand, "Oh how I'm sickened by the carnage we just witnessed and wish nothing
more to be away from this place." She pauses for a second wondering why she
just said what she said. Finally realizing that she probably inhaled more
than enough of that ghastly air inside the temple's rooms, the warrior
shakes her hand and looks to Gareth, "So, what's next on the agenda?"
Barbaxle goes over to Wulfgar and says "There were not worthy of the title
Priest of Callus. They will pay for their actions, Callus will make sure
that their souls do not rest in a beautiful place. If you need anything from
me my friend don't hesitate to ask." After his talk Barbaxle turns to the
group and says "I think that out mission has been completed here. After the
funeral of Priest Randos, I think we should be on our way. We should try to
get as much sleep as we can, I have a feeling that we might not get too many
more opportunities to rest."
Wulfgar looks at the others who are gathered outside the Temple, he smiles
"I have just been granted a vision my friends, Randos spoke to me through
it. He was told by Callus to dig a well which will heal the ill and that is
why he was killed. He told the others about it and they told him to keep
silent about it then killed him out of jealousy. He has shown me a map of
where has to be dug. Who will help me bring this wonder to the people of
DragonMeyr?" He looks around to see who will offer their help.
Wulfgar turns to look at Barbaxle "I know that Callus will avenge herself on
them for eternity. However all I asked is for help to dig the well which
will supply the poor and the rich with waters to heal the ill and afflicted.
If you do not wish to help me then feel free to return to Heron I will do it
myself." He turns at this and walks back to the temple.
Gareth nods at the aid coming to the people. "A fine and noble task,
Wulfgar. I will gladly aid in the labours to bring such boon to this area
of the land. I would suggest, however, that it is a task for a new day.
Let our companions slough off the filth of what has been experienced today
and greet a new project on a new morn, and with renewed hope and
determination. It would be best for us to arrange sleeping arrangements and
to relax and recoup from the rather odeous day that has passed. As for
myself, I find a great need for prayer and a warm bath," the paladin smiles
in a friendly fashion, as he begins encouraging the people away from the
chapel of disappointment. "I have duties I must perform this eve, and would
prefer to approach them clear-headed. Besides, I do believe our stalwart
companions have earned a night of rest and frivolity.
Come, friends, and I shall see how many coppers remain within my belt pouch
to purchase an ale for those at my side." Emperor gallops up the church
doors in response to a high-pitched whistle from the knight. "Shall we?"
Keldar kind of nods when asked about the well, and follows along to help
dig. He appears quite shaken, but has overcome his terror from earlier.
"I would be more than happy to assist in your endeavor in digging a
well that would be blessed by Callus. You can count me in." Barbaxle says.
Arilyn steps forward. "Wulfgar, my dear friend. I would be honoured if
you would allow me to assist you and the wishes of Callus. Your goddess
truly is kind and just."
Cole steps forward and silently follows Wulfgar to the
site that this miraculous well shall be dug. Before it
is dug Cole will ask the group " We have gone to the
southern most point on this map,our mission was to
fill in this map and there are still a couple of towns
on this map to the east of here that we have yet to
visit, but the road carries on to the south. My
question is where to now."
"I'll help dig the well....I'm ready to see some good magic for a change.
Perhaps this enchanted water can help cure Keldar as well."
Vincas will help Gareth care for the gnome-of-many-personalities
"Dig? Well, I see no problem in that, but could we wait till morning? I was
in the middle of a good dream before all this mess started.", She starts to
head back to Wulfgar's home and pauses, "We do have shovels, don't we?"
Jahl follows along pondering his own thoughts. At Wulfgar's suggestion, Jahl nods his head
and volunteers to help dig the well.
