Adam makes with the making sure the defeated foes are dead and the taking of their pocket change. The real treasure is the Zaarani's solitaire worn by the madcaster, one of the pieces of the Ashen Crown. And a few valuables in the moon pool are found. Soon, goblin voices can be coming from the northeast, the opposite direction of where the PCs came from. Before long, the familiar faces of the Kech Volaar appear from above the East cliff face at the the far side of the chamber.
"Impressive," Yeraa says, surveying the carnage left by the heroes. Her eyes rest on the solitaire and she looks even more impressed. "You done well! We did well too."
She shows off Lurtaan's cord. "But many dangers back the way we came. Is your way clear?"
