[QUOTE="covaithe, post: 5004509, member: 46559"] The vampire stares at you in disbelief for a long moment, still poised to strike, then suddenly laughs. He releases the magical bonds that hold you in place. Kathalia's mind clears, and she regains control of her actions. [color=lightblue]"Well, you do not lack for courage, that is certain. And perhaps it is best this way; now you know for certain that you are helpless against me. Very well, we shall continue our discussion. But know this: one false step, and you will be mine [I]forever[/I]. I shall not stay my hand a second time. Now then. You wish to hear more regarding compensation, and I wish to discuss how it is that you can assist me. More than you already have, that is. First, the treasure. If you were clever enough to have defeated the goblin, and his... creation... I trust you will have found his key. The lock it opens is there,"[/color] he points toward a corner of the crypt. [color=lightblue]"A chest hidden beneath the flagstone there. Go ahead, open it. When you have satisfied yourselves that I speak only truth, I shall continue."[/color] The flagstone in question has not been visited recently, as its thin layer of dust attests, but neither does is have the deep, years-old filth of much of the rest of the crypt. The flagstone is some six feet square, of solid granite, and takes all of your combined efforts to lift it, but at last you succeed. Beneath is indeed a large chest, with a lock that opens to the goblin's key. Inside are several vials of translucent red liquid, a large round shield with a stylized sunburst chased in bronze around a central boss shaped like a lion's head, and a significant pile of gold and silver coin. [sblock=treasure]2 potions of healing, a throwing shield, and 500g in assorted coinage. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
