Lady Emyralda wanted to cast a spell again but was forced to
struggle against the grasping arms which made casting impossible. Instead the
cleric channeled positive and dealt 10 positive energy damage to the haunt. The
grasping arms and voices faded and set party free. The haunt was replaced by a thrumming
chant of dwarven voices sounding through the room, swearing, “We who are sired
by the will to defend.”
The library is filled with biographies and dwarven history
books. A collection of scroll cases in one of the cabinets contains maps that
the Rising Blades made during their travels in the Darklands, including one of
Karexin’s Tower. A bound copy of Delbera’s adventure lies open on the table. Her
memoir delves into her time with the Rising Blades adventuring company. The
leather binding is rubbed and worn on the spine, and the pages are soft from
use. In the stories, time and again she found the good in others and encouraged
them to grow beyond their current limitations. Most of her personal narration
focuses on her fellow adventurers and their contributions, rather than on her
own deeds, painting them in the best light and glossing over some of their
failings.
Further searching uncovers three magic three scrolls: cure critical
wounds, lesser restoration, and remove curse, as well as a small velvet bag
containing 800 gp worth of loose gems and an ornate hand-illuminated book of
metallurgy and prayers to Torag. The book is worth 500 gp but might have
greater value to the local church or collector.
