[QUOTE="talien, post: 2743767, member: 3285"] [b]All That Glitters - Part 5g: The Hidden Cave[/b] “I found what we came for,” said Beldin. Stacked in the damp recesses of the cave were silks and perfumes from far Khitan, the legacy of the last ships that Krubach plundered—and somewhere, the notebooks of Garniss the Sage. Ilmarė took a closer look. “Rotted,” she said with disgust. “Useless.” “The treasure was never meant to be stored here,” said Sebastian. The silk was mildewed by the damp air and crusted with sea salt. The delicate perfumes had evaporated, leaving only an oily residue behind. They didn’t even bother to check the barrels of rare culinary delicacies. There was a loud CLANG! as Beldin smashed open the lock of a brassbound sea chest. Inside were a silvered and bejeweled mail shirt and matching gladius. “Quintus would be in awe,” Ilmarė said with a smirk. As the others sifted through the treasure, Bijoux put her hands on Calactyte’s wounds. Sebastian lifted up a bag. “These are the jewels Baldric spoke about. Pearls and the like…the kind sewn onto fancy clothing.” Ilmarė nodded. “That’s the crew’s share. Now where is…ah yes.” The elorii found her prize: a set of eight books, carefully wrapped and sealed tightly against the elements. The waxen seals on the books bore the symbol of Garniss the Sage. She gathered up the books. “Let’s get out of here.” “We need a moment to rest,” said Sebastian. “Calactyte, Beldin, and Bijoux are all hurt.” “I’m fine,” said Beldin in irritation. Despite his wounds, the dwarf’s pride has suffered most. “But we’re in a sea cave. It may be more than an underwater tunnel we’ll have to worry about soon.” Bijoux pointed at a crustacean attached to a nearby cavern wall. “This is a creature of the sea,” she said. “It does not normally live out of water.” “Fine,” said Ilmarė. “We’ll need the lizard anyway to haul the treasure out of here.” “That’s very noble of you,” said Bijoux, narrowing her eyes. Before Ilmarė could respond, Sebastian asked, “whatever happened to Oriku?” [/QUOTE]
