Saarthal expedition underway
Orcanorc and the others made their way ahead of the group from the College of Winterhold, to soak in the cool and snowy mountain top glory surrounding Saarthal and to ensure the way was cleared. Nothing else was around to fight but they had previously cleared out some enemies that were here so, he mined some iron ore from the vein found and then waited for the others.
"I was wondering when you all would get here as we have been waiting a short while.. but we had previously been to this location and killed off some wolves and such while exploring" explained Orcanorc as he talked with Tolfdir, explaining they were ready. With that, they went inside of Saarthal.
Inside was cleared for this initial part from the excavation that had been underway previously and currently, a chest had to be lockpicked for measly gains and nothing exciting at this point in time.
"I need you to go find Arniel Gane, Orcanorc and see what he needs help with" Tolfdir said before he left the group to find Arniel.
Arniel wanted the four magical artifacts to be found in the area around where they were now, to bring them for study and let him know if there was anything out of the ordinary to happen while searching for and claiming them.
Of course though being a special type of location, this was going to take an unexpected turn for Orcanorc but wasn't going to be the worst thing to happen to him!
All four artifacts were found and collected but an unexpected twist happened, as pulling the amulet off the wall trapped Orcanorc inside the room he was in by way of these metal spikes that came from the ground up, inside the doorways.
It required him to use the shout while the amulet was equipped, so he could blast down the doorway and reveal a way through while ensuring the trap had gone down and Tolfdir could proceed with him and it was unknown what else Saarthal held for them.
"I can feel something.. my hunger for blood is growing and I don't know how I became vampiric" said Orcanorc to himself as his hunger grows and so does his apparent vampiric powers.
After speaking with Tolfdir and buying the spell books sea stride for water walking and raise wall to raise a rock wall from the ground, the next room they occupied saw a vision from the Psyijic Order be passed on from Nerien to Orcanorc, something talked about soon after, with Tolfdir who shared what small amount of knowledge he had on them.
"Time to have some fun in this place everyone and let's ensure we take them all out with ease" shouted Vorstag as they entered into a room surrounded with coffins.. upon entering though and seeing the coffins open, they released it was filled with Draugr.
These were the lesser and weakest Draugr so with no issue at all for any of the group, they quickly killed them all off and pondered around, working out if any traps were going to be hiding in this room.
