"You'd think that sword would have rusted away, with the state of that body." said Hiromi, though she was no expert on such things, "What do you think, Silvi?"

"Seein' we're going to be 'ere fer a moment." Grimsby takes the locked chest out of his pack and sits down on a rock, mindful of his recent burning bite wound. "Can anyone crack inta this?

Mortimer informed the others of the body in the pool and moved to head on, though the others seemed in no hurry.

Silvi cast a spell to detect magic, but didn’t see any magic, but she could see that the pommel of the sword was rather elaborately decorated.

Grimsby sat down and took the chest from Hallod’s hideout into his lap. The chest was made from stout wood, banded in iron, closed with a simple lock.

"What are you waiting for?"

Mortimer holds his torch high, then motions for the others to come.

"I thought we wanted to catch him? If we disturb the body now, we cannot use it as evidence later."
 

Pak shrugs and moves to follow Mortimer. At the comment of using the body as evidence he speaks up.

"I don't think our query killed this man. It takes a long time for a body to calcify like that. I doubt our suspect was even born when this person died. But that doesn't mean he is not guilty of other crimes."

Hiromi didn't fancy herself a thief, but her mother had taught her to pick locks, back when they would take things she said that they 'deserved'.

"I can probably get into that chest," she declared, "But Morty's right. We should get on with the chase first."

Round 1

The party continues along the tunnel after Hallod. It twists and turns, and about ten minutes farther along the air becomes notably cleaner, with a faint scent of grass, and they can see faint natural light ahead. After about another five minutes, the tunnel they have been traversing opens into a cave, and they can see a forest beyond the cave’s mouth. The roots of a large tree block the middle of this entrance, as if the tree had grown into a hillside that has since eroded away. Beyond the tree is a large pond; a path around the water begins to one side beneath a curtain of moss hanging from the tree. The cave itself is piled high with two rows of neatly stacked crates and boxes.

A large, rough looking bald man with a nasty looking scar across his face hopped up onto a berm of earth created by the tree roots. He wore filthy leather armor and played expertly with a nasty kukri in one hand. He aimed a crossbow at the caravan party.

“I wondered when Bort’s lackey’s would arrive. Let’s do this!”

The big man pulled a small vial from his armor and tossed back the contents. His body seemed to grow thicker and sturdier.

Then he fired the crossbow at Pakuten, but the bolt skimmed off the kenku’s shoulder armor.

PLAYERS WON INITIATIVE AND GO FIRST!

Hallod has set up a pair of spear launcher traps in this room, with rather obvious trip lines stretching from wall to wall between the rows of barrels and crates (these ropes are marked on the map with dotted lines). Due to this obvious nature, anyone about to enter a space occupied by a trip line can attempt a DC 15 Perception check to notice the trigger. Those that fail trigger the trap. Once seen, the ropes are obviously avoided, but characters cannot end their move in a space occupied by a rope without setting off the trap
