Chapter Five: Bapdis Orjo's Gift of Reconciliation

OK to move on.

Vhezyen finds no secret doors.

The east room extends about thirty feet to the north and forty feet to the south. An iron chest sits against the wall at the north end. At the south end is a circular pit about five feet wide, of uncertain depth.

The pit reveals little to Quggyeb, but it seems to go quite deep, deeper than the familiar can see or sense.

The chest is about 4' wide and is latched shut but not locked.

The chest opens normally, without incident.

At the bottom of the chest is a large folded cloth made from some sort of thick, bristly plant fiber. Sitting on top of it is a maul with a polished stone head, an 18" square wooden box, and a small cloth sack full of lumpy objects.

The box is full of ashes, bone fragments, teeth, a dried-out hand, and three small ceramic jars sealed with wax.

The cloth seems to be some sort of protective cloak with a hood. The fabric is far too rough and stiff for everyday wear.

You can feel that the sack contains rocks or perhaps gemstones.

The sack contains about a dozen and a half large gems, uncut or roughly cut: topaz, amethyst, tourmaline, garnet, citrine, peridot.

Vhezyden identifies the maul as a +1 weapon. None of the other items are magic.
