Finding Scipio's Remains and Exploring the Armory of Karjafriig

Discovery, Exploration

After their encounter with Linthea, the group found the remains of Scipio in a basin of water. After successfully retrieving his body, the group explored more of the ruins and ruminated on the name Linthea called them, "the Partycrashers."

Scipio's body was recovered from the basin, but only after those who interacted with the water experienced strange whispers in their heads, seeming to know deep intimate things about each of them.   The group explored the ruins further, finding a broken hilt and a jar of spices. The spice apparently evoked memories of fondness in whoever smelled or ingested them.   Throden began to break apart the apparently deformed individuals Linthea had killed as well as the bone devils. Xilmoira attempted to intimidate Dwaiyn after he had revealed to Linthea the existence of her son. Wind mourned Scipio's death while Miloš threw spice in his face against his wishes.   After opening a sealed door, the group found a chamber of charred books and scrolls. Amongst the ruined debris, they found a tablet in an unknown language in the common alphabet which included the name "Cord Ea Turin," a location near Pillarin. Additionally, they found a cylinder with common letters and other markings on it. Dwaiyn entered the word "Mithra" after having heard it from the individuals Linthea killed. The cylinder opened, revealing nothing inside, but also delivering a message of "You know the answer yet you do not know why."    Deeper in the ruins, the group discovered another area which apparently was called the "Armory of Karjafriig," an apparent archfiend. The armory was laden with traps and ruined items. Additionally, the walls seemed to be collapsed and overlooking seemingly impossible and contradicting vistas from atop the Stargash Crater. The party recovered the Mercury Blade, the Velnor-touched blade, and a Sentinel Shield.    After completing their delving, the group took Scipio's body back to the carriage. At the insistence of Dwaiyn, the group also took the body of Sylivar Cairo with them and departed toward Victus' Fall.
