"... and why does he have the Anchorites digging down there? Shouldn't they be flocking back to the Dragontails for the ritual?" a voice asked from a lower level in the ruins.

"Only three Anchorites are needed for the ritual, idiot. One to tap into the power of the Scroll, one to transfer the soul back out of the Crown, and another to offer a sacrifice. If we had them all come back to the Barrow, we'd give away our position. But I'm not sure why Novo has them digging. I would've thought he'd have the apprentices do it," a second voice answered.

"Which is exactly my point! Why have the Anchorites doing the digging if they could be guarding the entryways? You and I both know that the novices aren't useful for anything other than experimentation."

"I also know that you're just trying to get away from these Draugr. Honestly, Ardoras, you spend all day around corpses and you're afraid of a few dead Nords? They can't think on their own even if they're alive! Hell, you add another eye to a Nord and you've got a troll!"

"Ha! That's pretty good, actually. Say, where'd you--"

"Hey!" a third voice called out. "Ardoras! Valrendor! Novo wants you to come down here, quick! He says they've found something!" the necromancer exclaimed, excitement filling his voice. Ardoras and Valrendor let out cheers and hollers of excitement as footsteps sounded from down the corridor in which Daithi had entered, and gradually died away as the necromancers retreated to the depths of the mountain.
