The Secret's Keepers

So of course the long dark passage lead to a big dark ... cavern? A boat, some boxes, typical smugglers route things ...
I was frustrated, of course I was. What made it worse is this box with a lock that I just could not open ... why? I don't usually have this issue ...
Of course Veronica opened it using Magick ... its always Magick ...
 
Anyway ... it had a key. Ouroboros. Veronica wanted nothing to do with it so naturally I thought it was cursed. It wasnt ... but still!
We all jumped in a little boat and made our merry way out of the cavern, making land outside the city. It was real late and we were not going to go back the way we came.
Thankfully, we found an inn on the outside of the city and settled up there for the night.
Morning after? Easy. We lied our way through the city gates and made haste to this 'College of Ouroboros'. Met some old guy called Bakari Okot, some Maeshet, yknow, those esteemed Magick users ... its always Magick users ...
 
We were told the key opened a vault ...
We opened it, obviously, and it contained something that only I could touch ... ha!
Laced in silver, the others had reactions to it. But inside was something powerful, they could feel it ...
 
Bakari 'educated' us on this. The vault belonged to Solomon Quaresh ... of course ... why oh why ...
Anyway Solomon informed us of the history of this vault. Of the portals that used to connect this world to 'the otherworld' ... the Magick place ...
We decided it was best that the vault was the best place to keep this artefact ... and I would keep the key ... for now ...
