Darrick stares at the blade, and at the letter, for rather longer than is wise. Resheathing it, he rises to his feet, unbuckles his baldrick, and slings his old sword over his shoulder before belting on this new blade.
Clearing his throat, he returns to the doorway. "I've found what I need," he tells the others, without offering any further explanation. And as the group moves on, he slows his pace until he is walking beside Ducerne again.
"I believe," he says quietly, "that these are yours. Sir." Without further words, he proffers the letter and the insignia.

Ducerne raises a hand to Darrick, and speaks quietly again. "I don't deserve those now, I have embarrassed the memory of that man who earned them. The sword, they told me it was enchanted. I hope it serves you well."
The group continues in silence until they come to the armory. The bodies that were left in there have been cleared out. However, there are still racks of weapons and armor for the party to pick over to equip anyone who still needs equipping.
The Captain and Tarshana quickly look around and shake their heads. "Our equipment is not here. Apparently this Janus was smart enough to know it was not normal equipment. From the sounds of it, he would not have used it, though."
Alicia speaks up then. "In the interest of fostering this... alliance, if Janus didn't use it for himself, he'd have it in the treasure room. He doesn't let the grunts have access to any good equipment."
The two merchants move towards a rack of long spears, each of them grabbing one.

Trebuchet makes a rattling noise that appears to be his version of trying to clear his throat.
"We did raid a room rather thoroughly on our last trip here," he points out. "It's possible some of your equipment was among that we took. If so, I imagine we will arrange for its return on completion of our task here."

Kaelan
[sblock=ooc]Notable abilities gained at level are that I am now immune to crits and stunning. I can also grow natural weapons. In the loot, we found 3 flasks of alchemical fire, frost and shock. I'll assume we rigged all three fire ones into the trap. Charles used the flask I gave him a while ago on the battle we just had. That would leave 6. Pebele, sorry if it was unclear that we didn't have them, I thought Charles grabbed them and would make sure before he left that he did. Up to you though.[/sblock]
As they are walking down the tunnel, Kaelan's eyes suddenly go wide. "Look out!" he says, much quieter than his facial expressions make it look like it should be. He turns and pushes Sepoto to the side of the tunnel, his back now facing the opposite way of travel. His legs fly out from under him if by an imaginary force, and falls hard to the floor, eyes closed. Slowly, a long pointed object emerges from the top of his knee.
Kaelan blinked. He was suddenly in the desert again. The dunes stretched far in all directions. He was startled to see his brother walking along side of him. All of a sudden it sounded as if a crowd was moving forward and it was getting closer. Am I dead? he thinks. Is this Dolurrh? Is that noise the sprits of Dolurrh coming to see who has invaded their domain. All of a sudden, Kaelan saw the souce of the sound. A great creature of the plains. Three horns sprouted from it's face, a basket on it's back held a crazed halfling. Upon sighting them the halfling pointed directly at his brother. The halfling was upon them before they could barely realize. The beast was so close, Kaelan could feel the heat of the creature's body. "Look out!" he yelled. He turned and shoved his brother from the path of the beast, and turned his back to it, seeking to protect his vulnerable front. The creature gored him, Kaelan saw the horn emerge from the top of his knee. He flew backward as the creature flung him over it's head. He landed upon the ground and darkness greeted him.

[SBLOCK] Charles/Kaelan: Sepoto will take two shock and a frost, if that is alright with Charles.
Pebele: I have been away from home for the last couple of days, but should be returning tonight. I was unable to update Sepoto with the new level until I could look into my copy of Complete Adventurer, but he should be updated later today. [/SBLOCK]
Kaelan's sudden movement causes the shifter to reflexively look behind him, and this distraction is all that it takes for the Valenar to thrust his arm outward, spinning Sepoto into the near wall of the corridor. In the moment of Kaelan's touch, Sepoto's connection to the manifold paths of I'Katra the Traveler allow him to glimpse for a moment the horned monstrosity as it charges in the changeling's mind, the smell of sweat, the sere desert heat, and the stench of the beast's breath all pass over him in an instant, and are gone.
As Kaelan collapses, Sepoto springs to his feet, reaching toward his prone form, a strange and unexpected pang of loss coursing through him,
"Kaelan....Kaelan...?"
