The heroes well rested travel back out into the maze of passageways from the previous day. Heading into a wider hallway than they have seen recently, the adventurers notice ten massive stone sarcophagi lining the walls of this place.
Approaching one, Yotisot attempts to pry one open to peek inside. Crash! Groan! All the doors of the once dormant sarcophagi swing open, and undead skeleton warriors pour out from within.
Kaede takes this opportunity to quickly cast a spell to fill the area with light, causing the skeletons to almost instantly collapse into piles of bones.
Two other stronger skeleton warriors approach from the opposite end of the hallway, and a battle takes place between all the adventures. The skeleton warrior skulls eventually removed from their necks and smashed with many different weapons.
After the battle the adventurers notice a starry light emenating from the opposte end of the hallway, and move to investigate. Finding two strange granite altars, they examine them in great detail wondering what could their use be?
Songfey discovers an iron door, quite wide and sealed with some kind of magical force.
Yotisot takes the initative and prys open one of the altars, revealing two dragon statues, one made of platinum and another of silver.
The other altar is opened and another two identical statues are found.
A soft click is heard, the magics locking the door fade away into nothing, the adventurers push the door lightly and it gracefully opens.
Sir Keegan's Tomb
The group of explorers venture into this newly discovered room, and find it completely empty bar one raised dais in the old crypt.
Kaede thinking there may be danger thinks about casing a spell to damage any foe that may come forth from the dais, but decides against it as it is discovered by Yotisot to have been engraved with a similar dragon to that which he worships.
The adventurers all move over to the crypt to examine it, the coffin lid shifts, a flurry of dust filling the air as it crashes to the floor. Before them stands the undead remains of a skeleton in plate armor, emblazoned with a dragons head, and brandishing a wonderous longsword.
He reveals himself as Sir Keegan, and interrogates the party as to their business in this place. His home for eternity.
After convincing Sir Keegan that they are indeed friends to be trusted, that they are here to cleanse The Keep of evil, he returns to his place of rest, but not before revealing that he was originally here to also cleanse The Keep. Failing to do so by being tormented and corrupted by the forces of a Rift to an evil place.
Sir Keegan wishing the adventurers well in their quest, gifts Yotisot with his longsword, Aecris, a fine weapon for a follower of Bahamut the Platinum Dragon.
