After Lori had delivered that old lantern into hands of her

field instructor, she got another assignment, and instruc-

tor said that task would be an easy one. They had learned

that the old long forgotten graveyard has a crypt where

one of their guild members stashed some old relics and other

items, so they wouldn‘t fall into the wrong hands. They

have been waiting there to be picked up for years now,

and now the guild librarians had found clues about those

items. Of course the Mage‘s guild wants to get their items

back and Lori was sent to pick them up.

She got map what showed where the old cemetery is, but

when Lori finally finds her way to that part of the regi-

tery almost fully. The forest didn‘t grow over that ground

over night and it makes her task of finding that certain

crypt even harder.

She isn‘t too happy with this task, and thick bushes makes her search for that

entrance into the crypt even harder. The sun was already setting when she finally

found an old crypt door that looked promising.

At least it had all

the markings on it

like it should, but

the thick door is

jammed by roots.

Lori binds a few

simple spells to cle-

get the door open.

She had to redo the

spell a few times,

until roots were

cleared away from

the door and she is

able to open it.

Air inside the long forgotten crypt smelled damp like in old cellars. There was

stairs down and Lori looked around the surfaces of the walls and ceiling in the

light from her ring. She wanted to be sure that it was safe to enter there and that

the old building won‘t just cave in, when she enters there. The stairs seem to go

deep into the ground so maybe the crypt rooms are still untouched by the tree roots.

There had been plenty of those crypts long ago as noble families buried their kin in

them. For some reason the Royal‘s had moved their Capitol into another place and

this cemetery was abandoned. Noble families were more keen to take care of their

living relatives, than taking care of their buried relatives in here, so the forest
