Thurstan cast two Cure Light Wounds spells on Kirlic healing 20 of the ranger's damage.
Clint descended the stairs and entered the room from which the undead had emerged. The rogue was able to find rubies laying on the floor in the remains of the two sarcophagi lids. He was also able to pry out the ruby eyes of the remaining sarcophagi. Clint presented 7 gems worth 100 GP each to the party.
Thurstan and Banjo examined the armor from the Huecuva. By putting their heads together, they identified the armor as +1 Fullplate. They then scanned the room and did not find anything additional.
The party investigated the northeast room next. Leera and Dargoth remained outside. Clint, Kirlic and Thurstan's wolf caught a glimpse of their reflections in the magic mirror. All were rewarded with a visions of their proudest moment. All were inspired by the experience and felt a wave of well being wash over them.
A search of the room yielded an additional 8 rubies worth 100 GP each. These gems needed to be pried from the lids of the sarcophagi.
Once the searching was completed the party moved forward.
Descending the stairs leads to another large chamber. Before you can clearly make out its features, again this room fills with a magical image.
Snow covers the hill, but bloodstains clash with the mud and frost. The blond king has fallen to one knee, his left arm hanging useless at his side. Bestial humanoids surround him as he caresses the cheek of the red-haired woman lying mortally wounded before him. Behind the golden-haired king stands the raven-haired knight, his silver armor stained with blood and his eyes wild with triumph, wrath and greed. He holds the king’s crown aloft with one hand as his curved blade slices down at the king in the other. As the image faded, the dim light reveals a plain stone door to the east.
Nothing of further interest is found within this chamber. Exiting the room through the east door leads into a ten foot wide corridor heading east.
Soft light illuminates this corridor from no single point. You see more intricate design work on the north and south walls, but no dust, no webs, and no signs of age or weathering. The passage turns north ahead leading to stairs.
The stairs that descend here are gradual and smooth, and the ceiling above stays at the same height as the corridor, despite the descent. Purple curtains that glitter with gold tracery cover a tall opening to the west of the stairway’s base. The passage also continues to the east on the other side, ending in a similar curtain. On the wall facing the base of the stairs is a huge painting that depicts a tall, dark-haired man sitting on an opulent throne. He wears a golden crown and frowns darkly.
