[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 8958986, member: 7015827"] [HEADING=1][I]Dark Aftermath[/I][/HEADING] A search of the coffin by Darrow yielded a holy symbol, a key and a bunch of gems. The dwarf also took a dagger and a gem off the corpse of Dahlia. Eyes then turned to the dark altar in the center of the chamber and Dermot yelled to check it.
