While the others had been talking to Maccaath the Crimson, Alhana had checked the extents of the chamber. In back, furthest from the tunnel through which they had entered, was another short tunnel that led to a chamber that held a small portion of the Dragon's treasure that had been taken years before from the Hosttower of the Arcane. There were three shelves that had been cobbled together out of salvaged wood, whale bone, and pieces of giants’ armor and which held a number of scrolls, tomes, books, parchments, and folios that all bore the markings of magical writing.
Though she had avoided entering the chamber in case of alerting the dracolich, Alhana knew immediately upon seeing Lorenn happily checking the contents of his scroll case, that the half-elf would be interested in the chamber's contents.

Maccath replied to Mord, "Yes, should you defeat the dracolich, I shall make ready to leave. Should you fail, I suspect that I will die not long after. In any case, I will not be leaving this chamber if you don't return, and so I have no need for these:"
She opened a chest and took out a pair of crampons - spiked footwear that fit over boots. Having noticed that Sesto was suffering from poor footing, she handed them directly to the cleric.
"You can return them to me if you survive."
