Chapter 2: The Skinsaw Murders

Skriz will notice that all of the subjects in the window are classic spell components in necromancy magic (scorpion venom, vampire's breath, the tongues of deathwing moths, belladonna, and the heart of a maiden slain by poison). After thinking for a moment, he also realized that they all have ties to theoretical formulae for the transformation into a lich.

Opening the door across the hall, a stone fireplace sits in the northwestern portion of this chamber. Paintings hang on the walls to the north and south, each covered over with a thick sheet of dusty cobwebs that obscures its subject from view. On the opposite side of the room are another set of double-doors.

Aside from what he already knows, Skriz isn't able to determine any more or make any connections between lichdom and the Foxglove family.

Wiping away the dust, Viktor can see a portrait of a young boy dressed in clothing that was fashionable in Magnimar years ago. A small plaque on the frame says "Aldern Foxglove"

Viktor will recognize the name from his new companions mentions of a noble that they had saved during the goblin attack on Sandpoint.

The door opens with a loud creak. The furniture in this bedroom, while dusty and unkempt, does not exhibit any major signs of water or mold damage. The one exception is a dark stain on the desk near the northern window
