OOC: Ok adding 616xp and 616g. Willow is perfectly content to sit and wait as she is by no means the brains of the operation.

Nathan, Ta, and Willow descend into the catacombs, while Markas and Boon stay up top with Alnar and Kazzag.

They create a small chain, keeping each other within sight in case something goes wrong. Willow explores the deepest, her elven eyes best able to pierce the gloom. Carefully searching the room, she becomes confident that there are no other exits, no secret panels, no hidden doorways--the room is a dead end.

The two large rings attached to the back wall are made of a smooth ancient glass, but have no knobs, levers, or anything else that might indicate a mechanism.

The glint in the sarcophagus, however, proves to be the most interesting. A whole treasure trove is stashed here! Bringing out the various items, the party discovers:

  • An ornate glass bottle inlaid with mother-of-pearl and filled with absinthe. On the neck of the bottle is a fragile, hundred-year-old note: “The drink is not half as intoxicating as your beauty, my love.”
  • A velvet case containing a matching set of silver and amber necklace and earrings. Each earring contains a preserved mayfly, and the central amber in the necklace contains a small butterfly.
  • A new, small case containing four vials containing a deep, wine-colored fluid and is stamped with a red heart on the stopper.
  • Four scrolls, recently inked.
  • A coffer with a dazzling array of jewelry, perfume bottles, and love letters.
  • A brass disk inscribed with runes along its outer edge.
  • A new envelope on top of it all, addressed to Alnar.

OOC: Apologies. I picked up a nasty chest cold during my trip, which has made focusing a real challenge. Trying to catch up now.


Nathan shrugs and bows to Markas when Willow can find no escape route. "Apparently, the statue sang all on its own. A rather disturbing notion, that."

When the note addressed to Alnar pops up, he raises an eyebrow. "Now, that's certainly odd. Shall we open it, then, or are we waiting for Alnar to come to his senses?"

Willow shrugs at the question and takes her backpack off to start loading it with the goodies, after casting a light spell above the sarcophagus. She is about to grab the first item when her cat-like eyes widen visibly and she pauses. "Maybe trap on goodies?"

OOC - So is this the money (616g a piece) you mentioned in the xp post?

Thy wounds are healed!
Markas acknowledges the bow with a nod of his own head. After all Nathan had survived "plunging" ahead and been rewarded for it in addition.

Looking at the note Markas asks, "Is it open?"

Whh, what happened? Alnar says getting up and blinking a couple times, blurry eyed. Last thing I remember is...

That female gorgon! he shouts. I'm going to kill her! Arrg! Maschera and Abzieta are the same person! he shouts shaking Markas vigorously by the collar. Why didn't I see it before! It is so obvious when you think about it!

Oh...sorry I tried to kill you. Alnar says, brushing Markas off. I hope I did not hurt the elf's pet and the kid sorcerer, he says, purposely failing to mention the monk of the party. I went to track Maschera and was captured. There must have been a hundred orcs...OK, there was four, but they caught me by surprise! and then that stupid harpy had her orc friend beat me up and Abzieta charmed me...and...

Wait, you let her live? What's up with that! She almost killed me! he says, going over to the tied up orc and giving her a kick before noticing what the party found.

What is that you have there? Alnar says, walking up to the letter and reading it.

Nathan helps unbind Alnar once it's clear the spell is broken, and hands him the letter now that the sorcerer is conscious to read it.

"The same person?" Nathan says, frowning. "Then Carnemorto was likely just another of her victims and she's duped us all. We couldn't find any way out through those tunnels, Alnar, and we didn't see Maschera or Abzienta fleeing. Is there a secret tunnel you know of?"
