"Ah, there you are", Theodore commented in a relieved tone while adjusting the carrying strap of his main weapon against his shoulder as he noted Thea and Haemar joining up with the rest. He was sure they had heard his suggestion of him heading up to fetch them, so he bothered not repeating how he would have been just about to head for them. Instead, he turned his focus to the stairs deeper into the tomb. "[b]Since we are all here[/b], we could indeed head on", he replied to Cesar's suggestion. Now he could approve of such actions, with the full force of their group ready to roll. Well, as full as he could manage with his limited reserves of magic anyway.

He took point for the time being, though he would be ready to relinquish the position if anyone showed signs of preferring it to him. Once at the bottom of the stairs, he drew one of his shortswords to prepare himself for close combat, but leaving the other sheathed for multiple reasons. First things first, he needed a hand free to cast the spell that he had chosen to employ once more. These spirits could be nothing but undead after all. Second, from one blade he could easily transition to using his crossbow if that proved advantageous. Not as simple with two out, while he could still draw the second without much of a hassle.

He drew a sign in the air and murmured a few words in Celestial: "Oh Light, show me where Darkness lurks and shine bright where your presence graces us." He could feel the magic flow through him. It was more than likely that this place would be consecrated, so he would be more surprised if the spell wouldn't tell him so. But now he would know whenever another spectre would appear and want to cut the lives of him and his companions short.

Theodore casts [i]Detect Evil and Good[/i], now detecting all aberrations, celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, or undead within 30 feet of him, as well as where the creatures are located. Similarly, he knows if there is a place or object within 30 feet of him that has been magically consecrated or desecrated. The spell can penetrate most barriers, but it is blocked by 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt.
With that out of the way, he walks forth, ready to see what the crypt holds deeper within the ground.
