"Oh no... Jon, I don't like this..."
Elly has gone forward with the torch to check out the next area; and it is indeed a totally unique and different place buried deep underground; only by chance or perhaps inexorable fate of the cursed mountain did they come across it. It is the second layer of the dungeon- and it is a crypt.
Ahead you see smooth stone; simple and primitive but not crude. It was clearly made with love and devotion in mind; a good and respectful place for the people of long ago to bury their dead. Richard, the most informed on local matters, is the most surprised.
<span class="mu-r">"People from the village... were buried here? I did not know anyone was buried in the mountain. The graveyard is nearer to the village. Can you read the names on the tombs, Jon?"</span>
<span class="mu-b">"They seem to be names. Pen-EL-O-Pee. Yes, people from the village."</span>
<span class="mu-r">"That is very curious..."</span>
Nasir makes a quick point about the likelihood and tradition in many parts of the world for people to bury their dead with valuables, and Richard confirms that that tradition has been practiced locally for a long time. Though he is remorse to do so; the fact this tomb is so old and forgotten nobody in the village knows about it means these dead are no longer being sanctified and cared for; these are forgotten dead. Cruel, but perhaps any treasure could be better served in the hands of the living.
<span class="mu-r">"...Fair warning, Jonathon. There is no faster or more surefire way to anger the dead then to steal from their graves..."</span>
Going forward; what is the party's policy on robbing the tombs and coffins of these ancient deceased?
>Loot everything!
>Only open the richest and most ornate looking resting places
>Refrain from disturbing the dead
