2-28 The Secret Tomb

 

A short passage leads to a sealed chamber, long hidden from the main level. Within the chamber, the floors are dusty and the air is stale. In the center lies a stone sarcophagus, upon which is carved the visage of an elven woman, very much resembling the mosaic on the wall outside.

• Stone sarcophagus with an elven woman carved on the lid.
• Within the sarcophagus is one of Enalodin's former apprentices and lovers by the name of Falia. Known for her temper and violence, she was nonetheless laid to rest with proper honors here. In the time since, her jealous nature has effectively rendered her one of the restless dead.

Monsters: Mummy (reesmbles a mummified elven woman, in the sarcophagus)

While so cursed, the person gets a 1 point bonus to initiative, and a 1 point bonus to AC, but will become suspicious of everyone.

If confronted on their tall tales,  however, they will quickly fold and admit they do not know that much about that particular subject. They have high opinions of Kastia and her minions,  and consider her to be a 'beautiful elf maid' who protects them.
