Again, most of the skeletons have been picked clean, but one of them ended up in a relatively dry corner of the room, and he'll find an old, leather bracer wrapped around the fallen man's wrist. A brief examination reveals that, while the bracer itself is mostly ruined, the blade concealed inside of it is still in excellent condition, likely because of its magical nature. He'll also find a note, tucked into the bracer as well, though it appears to be written in some sort of cipher.<br/><br/>Examining the once-secret door reveals a trap, long-since sprung, when the door popped open, like this. It's a little difficult to open, but a bit of effort allows him to pry it open and move into the room.<br/><br/>Inside, he'll find something he likely was not expecting. The room is fairly small and quite crowded. The first thing that'll catch his eyes are the five women, all dressed in rather skimpy and revealing outfits, all watching him, intently. The one nearest to him is an exceedingly attractive woman, though she has red-tinted skin, short red horns poking up through her hair, and bat-like wings folded against her back. Continuing clockwise around the circle, he'll see a muscular woman, with canine facial features, and soft, short, golden fur, covering her body. The third is a pale-skinned woman, with fiery red hair, and a pair of jet-black, feathered wings sprouting from her back. The fourth is a curious figure; her torso is that of a beautiful elven woman, though her lower body is that of a serpent, her long tail coiled around her. She also has a set of feathery wings, though her hair, wings, and scales are all an almost jarring, rainbow cacophony of colors. The last woman is a rather comely, golden-haired, winged beauty of a woman, with a look of innocence on her face.<br/><br/>Each of these women is standing inside a two-foot wide circle on the ground, inlaid with copper, silver, and gold rings, inscribed with numerous runes. Closer to the walls, standing in front of each circle, is a marble pedestal; on top of each sits a fist sized, irregularly shaped stone, each of a different precious gemstone, and pulsing with an inner light. Finally, he'll notice, at the center of the room, a large, greenish crystal, sitting atop a similar pedestal.<br/><br/>Upon any closer examination, he'll notice that the five pedestals, and the five circles, are surrounded by forcecages, preventing anything from passing in or out, easily. It's not difficult to figure out that the cages are tied to the crystal, which looks quite fragile. In addition, the entirety of the room is under the effects of a<em>Silence</em>spell; despite the women apparently trying to speak to him, he can't hear a thing.
