"Goblin fireworks, who knows, it could be the next big hit!" Baihu agreed.<br/><br/><em><strong>Get INSPIRATION!</strong></em><br/><br/>"The thrill of snatching victory by the skin of your teeth, with only the slimmest of margins between life and death, that's what adventuring is all about!" Ameiko was re-experiencing the rush of her adventuring days. At a nudge from Shalelu, she hurriedly added, "but don't deliberately push your luck, it's dangerous enough as it is."<br/><br/>With the goblins driven off, the girls could study what happened in the village at their leisure. There were signs of an earlier battle before their arrival, with the bodies of fallen goblins and attackers cremated in a pit. "Goblin bodies and bones... human-sized bones," Shalelu noted. Sandra added, "I can feel a lingering aura of evil around those bones - they might be the remains of undead!"<br/><br/>Yazhu also remembered Gutwad's last words - "You no get shinies! Bonies take shinies..." Then, there was also the issue of the missing chest, as Baihu pointed out.<br/><br/>Putting two and two together, the answer was clear. Ameiko counted off the events on her fingers. "The goblins found the treasure at the place marked on the map. They took it, which was where they got the fireworks for their raids. The original owners of the treasures, the skeletons, attacked the village to reclaim their treasure. The goblins gave up the missing chest, which mollified the skeletons into leaving. And we must have showed up not long after the attack, while the goblins were still scared."<br/><br/>"Are you saying this treasure is haunted? Should we really be taking it?" Marcius worried.<br/><br/>"We need these massage oils no matter what! And besides, the skeletons must have been weakened by the attack too." Ameiko thought for a moment. "We will follow the map to the treasure spot and break any haunt by destroying the rest of the skeletons, and take the rest of the treasure for good measure! And by we, I mean Sandra and Yazhu, you two are the best suited for the task. Swords and arrows are poor choices against skeletons, but divine magic and blunt strikes do wonders. The rest of us will take this stuff back to the wagon. Can you two handle it?"
