“Your appointment’s ready, come, hurry, we have limited time.” Oathbreaker said, walking out of the building. “Geez, a little overkill?” Iris asked, walking through the doors. “Nonsense, grab their clothing, and if anyone asks, the bodies here are those of several armed mercs that were hired to attack the temple, it’ll throw them off our tails.” Oathbreaker said, pacing next to a locked door on the other side of the room. “You’re going to need these.” Krom said, tossing a ring of keys to Oathbreaker. Oathbreaker said nothing, and began trying the keys on the lock. “The key for this lock isn’t on this keyring. No problem though, just a minor setback.” Oathbreaker said, pulling lockpicking tools from her belt. “You have something to accomplish anything, don’t you.” Parly said, amazed. “Shh, you’re giving away my secrets, and boom, door open.” Oathbreaker said, removing the tools and opening the door. “This likely leads straight to the heart of this temple, be prepared for anything.” She continued, walking into the opening. “Are wi realy doin this?” Claremont asked. “Yep.” Iris answered, walking through the opening herself, her disguise as a shimmering patch of air trembling as she did. At the base of the stairs, Oathbreaker stood frozen in place, looking into the room ahead. Filled with lines of liquid earth, the room contained mural’s of crimson gold visages, the lines of molten earth swirling in a pattern of giant face, where the eyes would be layed two raised pavilions. On one lay a casket, on the other lay a molten statue of a deity holding the sun, slowly losing the spikes making the sun in its hand. “We can’t be here, hurry, we must leave.” Oathbreaker yelled, shooing the group of five back up the stairs. “Ditch the priest’s clothing, put back on yours, act calm but hurried, as if you just got your first calling as a disciple of the church of golden blessings.” She continued as they reached the top of the stairs. “I can’t walk out of the city with you, I’ll meet you in the outskirts.” Oathbreaker said, dashing out of the building.
