Daelius walks around the portions of the cave they have so far explored, avoiding rat and bat carcasses, as well as whats left of the oozes that have been dealt with. Daelius returns to the cavern with the lake in it and examines the door, beginning to barricade it a bit. Daelius sits near the rest of the party, and carefully touches where part of his right ear used to be and winces in pain.

Daelius: "This room seems secure, aside from stray arrows from Rolen. We should set up a small camp in this cave to regain our strength, there are few entrances and it sounds as if we will need to rest before encountering more traps Kalarel has waiting for us in this dungeon.

Mind if I have a look at that shield, it appears to have a crest of Bahamut adorned upon it. After our battle in the dig site I heard whispers and had a divine vision of a sword within this keep, I believe that Torm, and possibly Bahamut, are guiding me towards a path of tempered justice, honor, and that of protecting the innocent. Perhaps a lesson to not so brashly strike those I believe to be evil. This shield could be of some use in that area.

What are you guys doing with that bat? Ugh, it would be best if we concern ourselves with the task at hand."

*Daelius turning to face Ruhsbaar: "Ruhsbaar, that ooze almost got the better of you. Rest and do not forget in the heat of battle that Torm will protect not only myself, but my allies as well. I will take the first watch."

Daelius: Fizzwig, I have no interest in slaying a bat that wishes to live in its cave in peace, do not misunderstand me, she is by no means an adversary of mine. Ruhsbaar may disagree with you about who took the brunt of that oozes aggression, it nearly consumed him. Also, I believe some divine intervention from Torm was able to save your life before the poison set in. It would be best to fight with the party in the future, I cannot promise Torm's protection if you do not concern yourself with us.

How do we know it is a she, have you studied cave bats before? It may be under the impression you are the she. Alas, I only meant we should get our rest and prepare for the task at hand, defeating this cult before they complete their ritual.

Daelius: It does not seem that you are a she, so maybe you are right. I do not know much about bats either. I understand that you prefer to fight from the shadows as rogues typically do, but you would do well to stay with the group and not cause more trouble for all of us.

Although you are correct, it seems that both Torm and Tymora are looking down on us. May they both continue to watch over us.

*Daelius leaves Fizzwig near the bat and goes to sit watch with little but his own thoughts while the rest of the party rests.

Daelius is sitting, looking at the emblem on this shield and ponders what Torm might have in store for him in the future. Upon overhearing Pale Noon and Fizzwig talking about doubling back, he snaps back to and offers some input.

Daelius: Fizz, I think it would be best if we rest here and continue on shortly. We will be able to check on Splug once we are done with the cult. It seems that we left him with enough food to be comfortable.

Pale Noon, there is no need to double back. We can barricade the door in this cavern and I am sure we will be well guarded.

Penguin OOC: Daelius has high insight which can help to discern motive, and I would like to refrain from using any sort of "detect evil" type spell. Makes it far less interesting, let the NPCs prove what they are.

Level 3:

Gain 6 HP - PHB1-89
Gain Invigorating Smite Encounter Power - PHB1-93

Daelius received the large Dragon shield.
I think Daelius took a Bahamut dragon statue as a holy symbol.
I will gladly RP some conversation with Sir Keagen about what to do with the sword. Currently Daelius still has it.
One of the cloaks would definitely help Daelius as a defender. However if I do not plan on continuing full time with you guys someone else can take one.

As for gold, just let me know how much Daelius would have received and I will go forward with that. Hopefully it is more than zero
