Re: Chapter 14: Return to Vraath Keep
The adventurers take stock of the items formerly held behind locked iron gates and find the following:
Ten iron coffers are held within the first of the four alcoves...
Six of the iron coffers contain the following coins: 2,500 silver, 2,100 gold, and 120 platinum. Three of the iron coffers contain notes of credit from the fallen kingdom of Rhestilor, though these have long since expired, not that there is anything left of that old kingdom to lay claim. The last of the iron coffers contains the deed to Vraath Keep.
Within the second alcove the party finds a wide range of notes and letters concerning Vraath Keep's construction and general function. Picking through the assorted papers, the party learns about the importance of this post along a vital trade route during the height of the then Kingdom of Rhestilor. The keep was the home of one Lord Amery Vraath, whom eventually got into a war against nearby forest giants--a war which he apparently lost if the keep's current state and indeed, the large arrow sticking out of the skeletal figure is any indication.
The third alcove contains a single trunk, within which is the skull of a young black dragon, two dozen forest giant teeth tied to a thick string, a mithril chain shirt; a staff made of white oak and carved to resemble braided bands of holly and oak boughs, twisted around a unicorn's horn at the end; and a thin metal wand with metallic grips topped with an angular blue glass bauble.
