The massive tremor didn't repeat itself as our heroes made their way up and out of the dungeon, clambering up the collapsed elevator shaft and into the training room. As they were pulling up their gear Kendra and Father Grimburrow burst into the room.
"Did you hear that?" Kendra gibbered, motioning briefly for the others to follow as they hustled through the now quiet corridors towards the workshop where Vesorianna's ghost kept her vigil.
The spirit was as agitated as ever, alternately sobbing and laughing jubilantly.
"Thank you...thank you!" She blubbered, tears of joy rather than grief now rolling down her ghostly cheeks.
"You have...defeated them...cleansed this place...I...now I can finish my husband's work."
As she spoke the ancient warden's badge began to vibrate, grasped in her frail skeletal hand, and to glow with ghostly energy. A look of deep concentration came over Vesorianna's face and she hoovered closer to the floor, her hands steepled as if in prayer. For a long moment she seemed to be gathering her strength, and then with a cry a massive wave of holy energy burst forth from the badge and washed over our heroes. It expanded outwards, seeping through the walls, washing over every inch of the once cursed edifice. When it was over Vesorianna drew a shuddering breath. All that could be heard were the distant wails of evil spirits as they succumbed to her holy power.
A change came over Vesorianna as well. No longer was her wild hair windblown, her gown a charred and tattered mess. She appeared as she had in life, pale, sad, but resolute and lovely. The ghostly blue glow that had surrounded her resolved into a shimmering gold.
"I can...feel it. My work here...my time here is finished." She said, joy and sadness intermingled in her voice. Her mind seemed whole again and she bowed in gratitude.
"Thank you. Thank you. I will go now...I will go to await my beloved. But child, know this." She drifted down to lay a ghostly hand on Kendra's head.
"I watched as those dark men ripped my husband's soul from this place and bore it away. And I watched as their leader struck your father down with vile magics. Beware a dark mage. You will know him by his mark, his mouth, scarred and mutilated like the foul words that he incanted."
"Wait!" Kendra called out
"Tell me more! Who was he! Where did they go! Tell me..."
But Vesorianna only smiled softly as she began to drift away, upwards and back, her form becoming more and more indistinct.
"Thank...youuuu..." Her last words drifted on the wind.
Kendra dropped to her knees, tears streaking her face, reaching out for the spirit as she vanished.
The wave of positive energy that washes over you has a lasting effect, granting you Vesorianna's Boon. You gain +1 to attack rolls and +1 damage against incorporeal foes.
The warden's badge is likewise infused with ghostly energy, functioning as a Gravewatch Pendant.
Now that you have some time to examine them you are also able to identify the gear that you dredged up from the pool in the dungeon, a +1 Longsword, a +1 Mithral Dagger, and a Pearl of Power I.
