Maura blushes, embarrassed at her over-reaction, or misinterpretation of his reaction, it's hard to tell which.<br/><br/>The tower, itself, is empty; Cerul is disappearing down a trapdoor, hidden in the floor, as they enter. It's a long way down, and Maura quickly follows after her half-sister, letting Draiss take up the rear. When they reach the bottom, they find Daminor has already begun looting the room, which appears to be a hidden vault beneath the keep... and what loot it is. Ten smaller chests, and one large one, along with the long-decayed remains of a man, still clutching a glowing sword, all filled with treasures.<br/><br/>In the ten smaller chests, six of them are filled with coins; well over 3000gp, in gold, silver, and platinum coins. Three more chests contain letters of credit, though, considering they're hundreds of years old, they're likely worthless, now, and the last contains the deed to this ancient keep.<br/><br/>The large chest, however, holds the most fantastic treasures; the skull of a black dragon, two dozen forest giant teeth on a string, a mithril chain shirt that glows faintly (+1), a Huge spiked gauntlet (+1), and a white oak staff, entwined around a unicorn's horn at the tip. (A staff of life, with 7 charges.)<br/><br/>On the skeleton, they find an obviously magic bastard sword (+1 frost, glows like a torch if held), and a pair of gloves, untouched by time (+2 STR). "Look at all of this! More than well worth the trip, wouldn't you say?" "I must admit... I wasn't expecting a treasure this rich."
