Half a minute more passed and the door soon gave way with a ear-splitting crash, throwing up clouds of dust in the room. The magics that powered the portal's wards dissipated as a visible puff of flame. As the dust finally settled, lantern light poured into the room and revealed a pedestal at its center. It was smaller than the one in the other room and it carried a locked and sealed tome. Scratches had destroyed the title on the thick leather cover, though the book was otherwise in perfect condition.Arms entangled around the pedestal, a headless human-sized skeleton clad in banded mail armor still held on to the book. Nearby, a skull sat, dome-first, on the floor beside a masterwork heavy mace.The outline of a small humanoid had been burned into the wall opposite the door. There was nothing left of whomever it was, save for a halfling-sized masterwork dagger that lay on the floor. A circle of runes had been etched upon the floor surrounding the pedestal. But older, ancient scratches had marred the circle.</blockquote>
