Session 5

It has taken several days, but the party looks over the map of Jzadirune and realizes there is only one room left. They open the door and see a chest, and on top of the chest is a silver cage holding Keygan's rat familiar, Starbrow. Saelis notices something is strange about the chest. Then a mouth forms on the chest and it speaks, but no one in the party can understand it. Saelis casts a spell and the silver cage holding the rat begins to float towards him. But the chest forms arms and holds the cage back. The chest speaks again - this time anger can be sensed in it's voice.

For some reason the party starts throwing money at the chest. Slowly the total of gold gobbled up by the chest rises. The chest clearly likes getting the money. But how much longer will the party continue to throw their gold away.

Finally the total of gold reaches 200 pieces. Then the chest holds out the rat in a cage and gives it to the party. There is some talk of destroying the creature but the party decides to let it live.

The party returns to the surface to give Keygan back his rat. But they will not be on the surface long - there are still the missing children to find. And with this level explored their attention will turn back to the elevator room that will take them below the city of Jzadirune.
