Message: <blockquote data-quote="Satin Knights" data-source="post: 6196014" data-attributes="member: 6666968">After picking the bones clean of all its expensive baubles and figuring out what they are, you examine the bones themselves.  They are fused too tightly in the rock to remove without damaging them, so you leave the poor guy where he is.  Having heard of priests that can change rock into mud, you figure one of them might be able to extract him, only to put him in a different plot of dirt and rocks somewhere else.  Making your way back out, Topaz is quite lethargic and slow, considering his overstuffed meal.  Checking down the other corridors, there is indeed no more rats.  You seem to have done your extermination job well.  Returning to the lift, pulling on the rope, a bell at the top rings.  After a couple thudding footsteps, "You ready?"Ru calls up, "Yes" and the lift starts moving up in a slightly lurching pattern.  You can tell Markos is doing all the work of pulling you up by hand.Once you are at the top, "Rats gone?"  "Yes."  "Gud.  Hate rats.""All done?  You sure?" Gerraldo asks. He offers you another glass of wine as you recount the day's work.  Relating the tale and telling him you checked all the corridors on the way out to be sure, he is satisfied and pays you the gold he promised.  Upon informing him of the skeleton, "Oh.  I suppose I should have him moved.  Wouldn't want his spirit souring the wines down there.  The church of Cortessa should have someone available to deal with the various matters of that properly.  Thanks.  Good day."Having finished the work, and even better, got paid for the work, your first adventure in the City of Glass is a success.  Now it is time to really cash out.  Taking the items you found that you don't want to keep over to the Mystic Pearl, they pay you well for the items.  Strangely enough, they never inquire as to where the items came from or who the original owner was.  If the place didn't look so prim and proper, you might think they were an underworld fence.  Divvying up the money, you are free now to party or invest as you please. The End</blockquote>
