Re: Burial grounds - Gardbury Downs
With some strength you pry open the crate, and inside find various items.
A small vial, with a reddish liquid, appearing like a fine brandy or wine, various metallic stones and bones of various sorts, a small skull and curiously a small mirror.
Looking at the mirror facing you, you notice the silver mirror is tarnished and when you look into it you find your reflection grayish and misty.
Suddenly you see your face but it is like a dark corrupted version, glaring out at you with white skin and eyes shining with malice.
As he eyes the book, it appears to Warfryn to be a logbook of his work. A few passages stand out.
“Bairwin hired us, as he wanted to ensure that none of these relics found at the site leaked out of here. He especially asked for that mirror over there in that crate. I don’t know why. It was Bairwin who told me where to find it, and payed us well to keep our mouths shut, claiming dark involment. Also his spy in town, knew more of various locations, including the den of kobolds we should stay clear of - due to a higher purpose.."
Further down...
“When I set out to dig, I had thought this was the burial site of some old dragon. However, the skeleton of the dragon is intermingled with other remains and skeletons from many lesser creatures, many of them looks to be demonic in origin. It seems as if this is the site of some old battle, rather than a burial site. I can only wonder were these demons came from and what could have been worth fighting over in this remote place.”
