On the way to the temple the group spotted a black line through the forest.  They decide it is/was a magic circle.

Once at the temple Robert climbs up and promptly falls through the roof.  The others join him inside only to find some shadowy creatures trying to strangle him.  The group engages the shadows and they flee or are destroyed.

We search the rest of the temple and find a mummified version of the high cleric...who promptly freezes half the group in its tracks.  The others once again engage and destroy the creature.  Quorl gets a nasty case of the rot and is saved just in time by Uleric and a scroll.

With the immediate threat gone the group finishes it's search and finds a cache of food in the basement.  They also find the device that created the mummy thanks to the insight from Vasilli.

The last of the shadow creatures returns just before morning and is destroyed.

The group returns to Portet and relays what happened to the First Constable.

He then assigns them another mission to the lighthouse.  The group finds the tracks of the other group of constables in but not out. 

They enter the lighthouse and shortly realize they are in a 'maze'.  The only way out is to 'think' your way out.  After much thinking Vassili disappears.  Leaving the rest of the group to fend for themselves.

Importantly we found the diary of the high cleric, which fell inline the story Vasili saw through his Psyhic Impressions.  As well as described strife between the church and state.

We also seem to be stalked by a large Crow/Raven.  He's definitely watching us.

Ularik would have had time to identify all of the scrolls, I believe.

Only requires a Full round action and a spellcraft check to determine the spell.  DC 20+ spell level.

OR

Cast Read Magic, 0 level unprepared, 10 minutes per level.

So yes he can.

So, can Gneetagh take 20 to "think" his way out of the maze?  It's obvious he can do nothing else and he witnessed Vissilli escape, so he knows it's possible.

. It's not a skill so you can't take 20 and you can't make the check.

Are we going to wait until next session to get out of this, or is there something one of us has to do to exit it?

In that case, I hack away at the nearest wall until I feel something give.

"Yes, thank you very much."  I take it and begin hammering away on the nearest wall.

I'm 250 miles from my character sheet, but I think I have max ranks with a 21 Int, so +12.
