There is a fresh body on the floor. Seems to be an adventurer. Another on the upper level. We remove the bodies. We try to stop the fire. Nope. Loot the bodies instead. ++++ ++++ The Noble Table | We go inside and find an undead parody of a noble court. We determine the one by the high chair wants us to sit at the tables below. We also see a couple of fresh corpses. We eventually sit, and servants bring in empty trays and "serve" the tables. And they are preparing to backstab us. ++++ ++++ Dirty Backstabbers | - Round - I stab one. - CedricVonSaberhagen turns the 3 coming up behind us. - OswynVanDyse readies his shield and moves to attack. - Round - ... - Round - ... - I stab the leader (he ran into another room, all the others got turned) - OswynVanDyse stabs him, killing it. We find a brooch with the Ravenclaw Sigil and take (maybe give back to family?). ++++ ++++ The Searchers | We continue to search and clear this level of the keep, before heading downstairs (where OswynVanDyse felt a great evil). We eventually find a locked door with the symbol of the Morninglord. Locked from the outside. ++++ ++++ Prison of Light | We prepare to open the door. We go in, find a bunch of broken statues, and some coffins. One radiates evil. We try to open it, but it is magically sealed. OswynVanDyse drinks a potion of Cloud Giant Strength and pops it open. There is a young maiden inside. We open the inner casket and she wakes, screaming. Her name is Maeven, and wants to know where her parents are. The evil is in the amulet she was wearing (which we remove). We take her outside, and a couple of us go inside to gather the loot: * First * Cobalt Blue Platemail * Ring * Longsword * Battleaxe * Amulet with that symbol * Second * Fine Embroidered Robes & Cloak * Bracers of Cinabar Steel * Prayerbook * Travelling spell tome * Bag of ingredients * Shortsword & dagger * Amulet with that symbol ++++
