IC/ The mention of a Star Worm stops everything in North's body. Slowly, he licks his lips and looks around the room.
"How much did you pay for this map?" he asks the group and takes a look at the map.
Ooc/ How damaged is the map? North may consider casting Mending if the paper is too difficult to read.
IC/ "We haven't seen much for giant Lizards... yet. Or worms" he turns to scan around the room.
He doesn't like this room. He still thinks back to the way they came... He recalls the door saying "Beware Death" or something of the sorts... and then he grabs his chin.
"I guess we're both looking for spears... or Staves - really, and Charm staves at that... I do wonder if this weapon actually?is sentient... or if it's being wielded. Why would a Staff be evil?" he concludes. North will follow the group around to the chests and asks "Who's?Sir Fenngrave?"

DM-
While?Flynn,?Cerina?and
¡®Levenfingers?search for traps and secret doors,?Gordon?recounts
the conversation with the pair of Tabaxi Druids.
The Druids warned that The?Khen¨½do M?hra?(the
holiest ranking Monk of the House of the Great Mother,) named ¡°Morning Song¡± is trying to recover a stolen artifact-?Onotlatlatzan;
the?Spear of Necalli.?
The sentient and bombastic spear was stolen from the monastery. Since then, the Khen¨½do M?hra has been kidnapping leonin and using them to hunt for the spear. These wicked acts have unbalanced nature and created a Swamp Naga that threatens
the water supply of the Otomi (the ¡°dog people¡±).?
Tabby?remembers what?Dances
in Rain?told them- that the Spear has been manipulating Morning Song (corrupting her) and they need to stop her without
killing her;?after all, she?IS?the
most holy person of Tabby¡¯s birth parents religion.?
Dances in Rain?told them The Spear of Destiny is headstrong and in a moment of vulnerability, the Khen¨½do M?hra was overcome.
She believed that an Avatar of Zaltec possessed a monk and that monk stole the spear. Then when?Morning Song?tried to use hishna to locate
it, the spear turned it into an obsession. Its Will overpowered her. Returning the spear may break the curse.
Meanwhile?
The searchers discover that three of the pyramid-temples likely conceal treasure. The top of each temple is hinged like the lid of a chest, and the catch is released by pressing down on the altar at the top. The lid is jammed on the first chest.?Flynn?notes
that a trap had been triggered at some time in the past and now the cover is stuck.?
¡®Levenfingers states calmly that the second chest is also trapped. He can attempt to disable it, or allow someone else to if they prefer.
Cerina?is unable to open the third lid by herself. It seems to require one person to press down with significant force on one side while a second
person rotates it up from the other. It¡¯s certainly likely that this one is also trapped, since all the others were, but she cannot see anything that resembles a needle hole or gas vent.
And what do you do?
