Tabby put away her crossbow and followed the others into the spider lair. At least her best abilities would work against the annoying Arachnids. Unless these were undead spiders..?

North looks very confused as he works through this new information. He will take a closer look at the face of the man who is in the statue.

"And I guess this burial is a good thing? Still not sure why Undead are guarding it. But maybe that's normal?"

Re: DoS: 6 Flamerule: Deeper into the crypt
North has combed thr0ugh all of the information he can recall about this particular dungeon. Yet he feels there is much undiscovered here.
"I think we should burn the unicorn bones. I'm not sure why they're here... but it doesn't seem like a good thing that they are."
"We came here to find a scepter to help us defeat a lich. There are undead who have obviously been enhanced, somehow, and purposely guarding the unicorn's bones."
"I would imagine that the lich is saving these bones f0r s0me other purpose. The porcelain?jar must have a purpose as well."?
North makes a face at the group as he continues...
"It's been a 100-years since Oakenshield's death and we have no idea where the scepter is. But according to the dead dwarfs story, his group did not leave here with it - but had found it at some point."
"It could still be down here."
"Or it could be where this map is showing... I'm not sure why this map was inside the horn hidden in the wall. There is a good chance we may need to go to this location." He points at the map of Maztica.
"But I really don't get why "Explosive Runes...? Just Kidding" is written on the side... If you ask me... It sounds like a dumb dwarf joke!" he looks at Oakenshield but then pauses "Or..." he thinks "It also sounds like a horse's name..." he lowers his brows in thought.
"And finally, what the heck is with the giant red guy trapped in that nice diamond... It had earth tone feelings with it as well? And an Air Elemental statue sat on top of it? Something tells me we should move that statue back over it... unless we want to find out more about this big guy." he raises an eyebrow to gauge everyone's interest in that option.
He shakes his head and paces around the room... Looking down, he sees a small rug on the floor and decides to take a look under it for a brief moment. If nothing is there, he will call Brother Ashley over to inspect the bones more closely with him to find a cause of death. If nothing is there, he will search the statue to try and find anything written on it.
"I agree with Mister Sweet.", Tabby smiled at the half-orc, "So it's three for me."
¡°The Unicorn has already received a proper funeral.? I think defiling it further would be a disservice We can secure the casket and re consecrate it in situ...?? I do believe we are on the right track for the Xun, based on the conflux of

?
Standing and pacing as he talks, he ticks off the options on his fingers. ¡°One, we take the remains of both the Dwarf and the Unicorn and we leave, to give them a proper ceremonial funeral.¡±

He glances around for confirmation, then continues. ¡°Two, we go back up and try to descend by rope into that dark well to see what¡¯s there.¡±

He pauses momentarily, and sighs. ¡°Or three, we go through the secret tunnel toward the spider that got the Dwarf,¡± he says, clenching his jaw.

OOC: Her perception is +6
Tabby raised her hand, "Oh oooh." She whispered, "I'm good at finding stuff. I can help."
OOC: away from Tabby's character sheet but I know she has a good perception score .

"So many goodies..." North notes to himself.
"A diamond, a shield, a map in a horn with a joke inscribed on the side..." His eyes whirl around wildly as the gears turn and spin in his little head.
"And the tapestry..." He breaths deep before commenting...
"I'm not sure the range on that thing, but the tapestry could lead other undead to us... Even the Lich, I would assume."?
Turning to Cerina "Also, can I see that map?"
North will inspect the map to see if he can derive any information out of it.
Ooc/ Would Arcanist Magic Aura change the effect the tapestry has toward undead?

So just for fun, the coins Sweet William discovered are ancient AD&D coins, from back in the edition when there were 10 coins per pound.?
5e D&D has 50 coins in a pound, and the coins are generally the size of a Kennedy half-dollar.
But back in first edition, they were about the size of an Eisenhower Silver Dollar but twice as thick.
Not really mechanically pertinent to the current game. Just a fun fact.

Happy to explain Flynn started in.? ¡°A lich, especially a Baelnorn is neither specifically good nor evil.? It is usually about power and control over death.¡±? Cited Flynn.? ¡°However, I do agree that there is more to this story.¡±

OOC: Had some posts bounce so sorry for the repeats.

Moving the glowing axehead closer, you can now see a coarse, flattened area between the horse¡¯s eyes where someone has apparently sawed off a horn. Checking the horse skull in
the sarcophagus you see a similar mark.
