Mission Summary

• They teleported to the chamber that had already been entered. From there, they split up into two groups to try and cover more ground faster.
• Moira and DRACO found a sealed mound. Without the tools necessary to open, they opted to use a Mason’s hammer and Moira’s dagger to dig into one. Once inside, they found two slabs with skeletons draped in shrouds. There were two vases filled with coins and two bowls filled with coins.
• Altath and Svamp found a sealed mound. Without the tools necessary to open, they tried other methods to enter in but were unsuccessful.
