---

The party is going to pursue a Treasure Map discovered in the Tomb Safe of the Crimson Galleon. The location is said to be the domain of Scorpions and Ogres but there are no towns anywhere close.

---

On the road headed north, the party turns and heads east.

The Treasure Map from the Tomb Safe of the Crimson Galleon leads to a cave that is made of limestone. Hidden inside the cave located beneath a low hill in an area with numerous hills and a grassland, we can hear the sound of water dripping from inside.

There are no signs of life around and the air is still. The Hirelings are willing to go in with us so we give them a lantern and then descend into the cave.

---

The cave appears to be natural but is formed out of weathered limestone as if worn away by ancient waters. Eventually the path opens up into a low ceilinged chamber that is about 10' tall. However, the floor still descends continuously.

Adaeril casts Strength on himself and gets an 18/40 which lasts for 24 turns.

---

The area we have entered is flooded with grayish water that matches the surrounding stone. The water comes from moisture dripping out from the rock. The chamber goes off into places we cannot see beyond our latern light and it seems to be fairly deep water up ahead,

Our light illuminates a small island in the center of this underground lake with a stone sarcophagus carved from granite set in the middle.

There are currently seven of us in the front line. Something attacks Jacob who has AC 3. We hear a hiss and a spitting noise as liquid strikes Jacob, he takes 1 damage and feels as though death is coming on. Jacob must SAVE VERSUS POISON! Luckily, he made it.

We are being attacked by an enormous Cobra. Where the Cobra struck Jacob, we can see that it burned his flesh. The Snake is considered a medium creature that is 30' distant. It is just outside our visual range.

Adaeril charges in and must hit AC 5 as 6 of our Archers fire. 2 of the arrows hit and they do 7 damage alltogether. They also get their second shots. Two arrows hit again, this time for 10 damage.

Fandilas dodges an attack from the Cobra. Now, Kek, Fandilas and Adaeril are all in melee with the creature.

Adaeril attacks and hits for 8 damage. Fandilas hits for 9 damage and the Cobra immediately drops to the ground dead.

There are no more snakes around.

---

Keks sword illuminates the island and he can see the unmoving dead Cobra. Bartoff can see that there are carvings along the edge of the sarcophagus and along the base, forming two rings around the sarcophagus. The carvings look like leaves which could be of Elven design. Adaeril has talked with Maervahr about the sarcophagus we found in Delbo and he believes this looks the same.

Jacob hands a torch to an Archer and goes to the left while Kek and Adaeril go to the right. We are in 2.5 to 3 foot deep water. Adaeril dunks a silver arrow into the water and it comes out fine, just wet, indicating that the water is not actually caustic.

Kek leaps over the water and slams into the ground quite painfully on the other side. Only the tips of his boots were getting wet.

We wrap a rope around the sarcophagus so that we can climb across without entering the pool. Bartoff can see through the water, which is crystal clear water and notices a lot of bones. They appear to be from animals like jackals and small rodents. There is nothing else visible in the pool. Before heading over, Oswald casts FIND TRAPS and finds no traps within a 30' radius.

Fandilas leaps across the water with the Jump spell!

On the other side of the small lake, there is nothing to tie the rope to. However, the party members on the island decide to lift the sarcophagus off anyway, and they lower it to the ground. Inside is a burial shroud that is spread over the body of an Elf figure. The body is laid to rest peacefully and does not stir. Laying beside the Elf are two objects, something with a rectangular shape and something else that resembles a sword.

We can see the curves of the deceased remains in the sarcophagus. The rectangular object is something about the size of a book. Kek says a prayer to Gel'Shiel as we look upon the remains.

Fandilas grabs the sword. We also find the following:

• A small golden amulet on a gold chain.
• An amulet that depicts a leaf.
• A rolled up scroll on one side with leather wrapping.
• A small book with a faded maroon cover.

To the right, in perfect alignment with the body, is a sheathed katana.

Fandilas takes the amulet and the Katana which has a thin silver sheath with parts that are black and maroon. Kek grabs the scroll and the book.

The Elf was buried in simple burial clothes but we do not see anything else. Kek searches the sarcophagus more thoroughly.

Adaeril has his longbow out as he watches the room around us for danger. As Kek digs through the sarcophagus, he does not find anything more. Fandilas pulls out the katana blade from its scabbard and it glows with a silver radiance. It is etched with golden leaves on the wind.

Fandilas and Adaeril both understand that recovering treasures is not necessarily looked down upon by the Elves, as long as no offense is made to the body. There is an understanding that burial goods may be taken and passed along to a looter sometime after the body is entombed.

The overall sarcophagus is low to the ground so Adaeril suggests tapping around inside to find hidden compartments. They do and it is solid. Kek uses the rope that was tied off to cross back over the small lake.

Adaeril uses the Rod of Alertness to Detect Magic and finds a strong magic emanating from the katana as well as a light magic from scroll. He also sees an even lighter magic aura coming from the book and there is no evil detected anywhere. There is nothing detected from the amulet, but it is valuable.

Meanwhile, Kek explores the large cave a bit further and finds a pile of 12 large eggshells, without their contents. Something that already hatched…

Fandilas reads the scroll and finds that it has magic runes. Checking inside the book, there is a message which states:

“During my time in Hakea, I was with a Wu-Jen named Harake. I developed a spell that replicates one of his own. L'traeyl of the Sun.”

Upon the scroll is a single spell called L'TRAEYLS WINGS OF FLAME. It is a 3rd level spell.

---

L'traeyls Wings of Flame

Level: 3
Range: 0
Duration: 1 turn
Area of Effect: Caster only
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 round
Saving Throw: None

The caster's arms are transformed into wings of flaming, golden leaves. The caster and all they carry suffer no damage from the flame. All within 3' 
suffer 1-2 points of damage each round. Nothing can be held, but rings and bracers can still be worn. The wings allow flight at 24" MV and cast light 
in 6". Intentional attacks can be made with the wings at the caster's non-proficiency penalty, dealing 2d6 damage on a successful attack roll (the 2d6 
damage is from both wings, not 2d6 damage per wing). Large amounts of water, freezing cold, or a wind of hurricane force or stronger will snuff the 
wings and end the spell. The material components are a leaf which has turned gold or brown from age but is not yet dry, and a gold leaf amulet (not 
consumed with the spell).
Shocking Grasp is compatible with this spell.
