Pulling the short blade from it's scabbard shows the metal to be rust free and giving off a pale blue light, the weapon is obviously magical.
But that isn't what all eyes are drawn to as Aria lifts back the backpack flap and pulls free the missing red lantern. The item is intact probably due to the blanket stuffed into the backpack with it.
"Great!" Hakkon exclaims."We found it! But first that door."

As most of the group work on getting the bodies ready to be lifted up to the upper chamber, the rest explore the door, and find nothing. Only a small closet like room that has long been empty.
Once everyone is back together it is a long grueling process to get the bodies dragged up the hole. The work takes time, but after it is complete and the bodies are laid to rest, everyone gets a feeling of fullfillment. A quiet, calm rest on each of your hearts as you return to the main chamber to light the lanterns thus opening the way deeper into the Whispering Cairn.
OOC: Congrats time for Level ups and then we'll continue.
