Delve 17

[kipper]

Maloof stays back in the hall near the door keeping watch (invisibly) while the others fool around with the coffins.

[merias]

I am willing to say you have excess silver pieces lying around

Aldbane will carefully place a pile of silver coins on each coffin lid before leaving.

Naillus will counter, "Ok, I am not the most devout person and I don't claim to speak for any deity, but regular silver pieces? At the very least they would need to be blessed, possibly arranged in a holy symbol, maybe consecrated? Aldbane was able to force them to retreat, for which I will give a suitable donation to his God, but, and I am hoping I am not being sacrilegious here, I just don't think silver pieces will do it.

If we want to continue onward, I am with you, but my advice is to retreat, get proper equipment so this nest does not increase in size."

[merias]

"Soldra the Just has shown me no ritual for blessing silver in this fashion - but I don't think these creatures emerge from their slumber unless disturbed, so I suggest we write a warning on the door for any future visitors," Aldbane says.

| Obviously meta-gaming here, but some undead are affected by ordinary silver weapons, there is no mention of the silver being somehow blessed or consecrated in OD&D/DD. |

(OOC: Yeah, I am aware, I was trying to roleplay an elf who has no concept of how Clerical magic or abilities work. I hope I did not offend.)

No worries, no offense taken!
