Maybe your master can channel it.>Also, grab the sword, but only after taking precautions, like covering your nose and mouth to avoid breathing in spores.You first examine the mural above the corpse. It’s near impossible to make out the details now, but you can tell it was intricately carved and cared for at one point. You can only sort of make out just one figure–looks like a knight with a sword held high above his head, cape billowy and heroic. A hero of old, perhaps..? It’s either that or a vertical cow with a smudgy hoof.
“Poor bastard.” Bredbeddle nudges the corpse beneath the mural with a foot. “Should’ve had a nicer mural to look at when he croaked.”
The adventurer appears to have come to a decisive end long ago, flesh long sloughed from his bones and armor since slipped from his body. The greenery that sprouts up about his legs and gnaws at his plate is thick, tenacious. A flower blossoms from the knife stuck in his chest. You bend down and heft the sword from his skeletal grip. It’s a very small flamberge, more like a dagger in your hands.
“A small sword–actually.. everything’s small. His armor would’ve been a very loose fit on him, even when alive. A small skeleton.” You observe the body. “Hmmm.. what do you suppose the date of death was?”
“What do you think we are, the wizard police? I don’t know.” Your master rolls her eyes. “But from what I can tell.. this body has been here for some time. It’s not a holdover from the dungeon’s prime, but certainly not from within the last 10, 20 years. I also doubt he’s been moved since he expired, given the vegetative growth and myconids. This is likely the first time this room has been stepped into in years. ”
