Dungeon Raiders: The Wolf's Den

[Li Shenron]

The note is written in common, although some expressions used sound quite outdated. The handwriting looks precarious, perhaps hasty.

"My trusted Eidan, now that only us four remain, your task will be the one to seal the history for Lord Wolf's clan forever.
When I am done, lay me to rest in the last room of the catacombs, lock it, and bring both keys to Grunwald. Make sure the fool melts them in the furnace, for I do not trust him, and forth dispose of him.
In the meantime Alarou will be performing the last enchantments downstairs, as for my instructions. As you reach back to him, lock yourselves behind the trapdoor, and wait for the priest to finish. We all know his dedication, you won't need to help him to his passing. As for you, choose as you see fit.

-Lord Wolf-

While waiting for the note to be read, Aeiyan finishes his efforts to work the dagger free from the sitting skeleton.

OOC: If a STR check is needed, here it is -- [roll0]

You carefully dislodge the dagger from the skeleton.

"Whazz th' dagger look like, Aeiyan?"

 

[Shayuri]

"The note is from Lord Wolf himself," muses Sulannus. "It's a last request. He instructs his servant to have his body buried in the final chamber of the catacombs, and locked with two keys that were supposed to have been destroyed."

She pauses to eye the key with the note for a moment, then continues.

"There was someone...a priest I think...conducting some kind of enchantment in a lower level as well. I wonder if that's what the ghouls were. This was all to 'seal history' for the lord's clan. I suppose they never returned to claim it."

"Whazz th' dagger look like, Aeiyan?"

Aeiyan takes a closer look at the dagger before replying, and tells Swift what he sees; then he hands the dagger to the rogue and says, "That's how I see it. What do your eyes tell you?"

OOC: INT (Investigate) [roll0]

It's a high-quality dagger: sturdy, well-balanced and still sharp. It must have cut through the sternum easily without great effort.

"So, these keys were to be melted down, but for whatever reason this didn't happen. And now we have them. So, shall we seek out the door that these keys might open?" asks Tock. "There seems to be little else in this room to interest us."

 

[Shayuri]

"We don't know for sure this key is one of the two," Sulannus comments, "But that would otherwise be an apt summation."

Swift, halfling rogue

Swift gratefully accepts the dagger and makes a few practice lunges with it. "Wow!! Gosh, thanks!! If it cut through a sternum like butter, then at the very least it's super sharp!" Turning to Tock, he says, "If we know where one of the doors is, where could the other one be?"

OOC: Swift will rely upon his new, slightly used dagger as his primary weapon for now, and he puts his short sword away carefully.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Bartleby's ready to move on, but is impressed with the new dagger.

"Aye, that seems like the right. These people wanted to bury their legacy in the ground, it only seems fair we pay our respects."
