Klokulf will cast detect magic and examine the glass bottle. To keep the spell from going to waste, he will also sweep the rest of the underground area.

The bottle carries a potent aura of necromancy and abjuration magic.

The archway/alcove radiates even stronger conjuration magic.

His companions carry magic items or varying power, including some enchanted weapons.


Katrin carries something with a complex, multihued aura even more powerful than that of the alcove.
What it is, he cannot see, as its aura shines through her clothing, but he can guess it is rather small and in one of her pockets or her bag.

I would like to attempt Knowledge (Arcana) to hazard a guess as to the nature of the bottle.

+5 makes 7.

Also, does it have non-negligible weight?

It doesn't weigh much. Don't worry about weight so much as breakage.

That Knowledge check was pretty weak. It's magic. It's a bottle and it's stoppered? It may be a magical container, but for what? Potions/ Gases? Something else? He has no notion.It appears empty.

The main compartment of Klokulf's haversack seems to only have clothes, bedding, a large canvas, a coil of icky magic rope, and the box with the gaunt wizard's candles.

How big is the bottle? I remember there being some empty space with the candles; could it fit in the box with them?
Nothing could possibly go wrong keeping the necromancy bottle with the necromancy candles.

It's like a beer bottle. He can stuff it in there, no problem. Padding is good.

Can Raen take a guess about the bottle as well? He doesn't cast detect magic but he realizes it must be magical.
In case he can:

Raen thinks he spies a cobweb inside the bottle, but then it's gone.

I've got glowy magic glasses that help me search good!

Not much else though...

Do we need to make horror checks at this disgusting and quite blasphemous display?

After Raen's nasty experiences with dark, dank underground spaces and and the rats and worse things Down There, a portal opening up into just such a space in the macabre fashion he just witnessed...

Yeah, probably for Raen, at least.
It fits the very bad result of a previous failed heck.

He passes, though. Your post is good RP, I'd say.

Translation of IC post: I have magic circle against evil and prayer on deck. Who would be a good centrally-located person for Magic Circle, I wonder?
