Lorath's first act in claiming the fortress as his and the party's was to gather up all of the chalk figurines in a bag and throw them over the battlements. He wasn't going to have cursed objects in a place that he would be living, especially ones which could possibly be connected to the mass deaths that occurred here, at least according to his theory. Next he went down and took the dagger out of the king's ribcage. Before grabbing it he cast Identify on it though, just to make sure it wasn't cursed and caused its previous owner to go berserk. Then he took the king's clothes and dressed himself in them, declaring that this was now the party's official hideout. He made a mental note to stop by anything that might resemble a library in this place to see exactly how far and wide they could go from this keep and still be protected.
Once the initial house cleaning was done, it was time to get the place back to looking like it was a keep suitable for royalty. He went back up to the throne room and removed the king from the throne. He would not be necessary for the new look of the keep. Then he began going to each of the corpses in the throne room and propping the skeletons up in poses as if they were still attendants in court, complete with anything they might be holding. At last he headed back up to Ulik and Evon, who were still enjoying the view and not starting a proto-drum circle. "Nobody appears to be home," he announced, stepping out onto the roof. "I think we can safely move in, since this portal looks to be the only way in without an army. All the exits are jammed pretty well."
