The Eldritch Blast blows the Zombie into oblivion, while the Specter uses her Dash action to move 100ft away, you see her disappear down the mineshaft at the end of the tunnel. You find yourselves in the dining room of the deceased Wrorak g'Ruek, his limp body still holding onto the red axe he wielded in undeath. The table is strewn with cups and cutlery, while the rope ladder still hangs from the carved out chamber above you. You see up there a flashing of light, perhaps the last torch left blazing in this place. The silence in these mines feels more complete, like the eeriness has somehow left with the Specter, who has fled deeper into the Underdark below.
With the specter fleeing, Draíocht takes a moment to sniff the air and listen to the sounds for any information on what lies beyond, tapping into the strengths of his dire wolf form.
Draíocht's senses no more undead, perhaps a faint fishy aroma coming from under the bridge you crossed to get into this room, but that's it. Wherever the Specter has gone, it must be a long way away underground.
Thelanis climbs the rope up into the cavity and finds a giant horde of uncovered treasure. You find gems and gold clearly marked with the insignia of the old Kholian Republic. It is known to some that if you can dig far enough under the earth you can make it into Kholias from below, avoiding the madness plague completely. Obviously g'Ruek was doing this, sending treasure hunters underground to the city and bringing back loot. In total you find:
534gp
430sp
234cp
An incredibly nice quiver of arrows. The arrowtips give off a shiny blue hue.
A glass bottle, clearly some kind of potion. It is filled with a light brown liquid.
"Good find, Thelanis." Draíocht drops out of wolf form. "If you need some more healing," he says to Valar, "I can create some gooberries for you to eat."
Looking at the treasure he says, "If there's no objections, I think I'll take that quiver." To Amiz he says, "Heading down is a reasonable course of action."
[[ self-note: still need to fix inventory, have not added most recent loot yet ]]
As you stand around over the undead corpses around you, you hear a voice amplified from whoever took the Sending Stone from Liarona. The Sending Stone speaks says in her voice, "We've arrived. Have you defeated g'Ruek and found the Greataxe of Amalkim? Prince Lukian asks: Is there some way to find more relics from Kholias?"
You can send another message back to her but it must follow the rules of Sending . Mainly it must be 25 words or less.
You definitely can tell that they are magical. Alsen will interject, "Do you wish for me to Identify some of these objects? My god does bestow me with this ability."

Valar will attack the prone zombie: Attack: 23 Damage: 18
Zombie 3 DC 23 CON Save to stay up: 16
Thelanis and Amiz still up, there is only one Zombie left, while the Specter floats away, currently 50ft away.
Amiz strikes at the Zombie with his axe:
Axe Attack: 24 Damage: 7 Slashing
Zombie DC 12 Con Save to stay up: 17
The Zombie is amazingly still up, despite multiple hits from Amiz. Thelanis shoots an Eldritch Blast at the creature, letting the Spectre run free:
Eldritch Blast Attack: 11 Damage: 11 Force
DC 16 CON Save from Zombie: 5

What is the plan now?
With the specter fleeing, Draíocht takes a moment to sniff the air and listen to the sounds for any information on what lies beyond, tapping into the strengths of his dire wolf form.
Perception: max(9,1) + 8 = 17
[[ We do still have Pass Without Trace if we want to try stealth despite g'Ruek's wife going off to sound the alarm. ]]

Expecting more trouble, and soon, Thelanis maintains her concentration on hex. [[Please let me know when an hour has passed.]]
Thelanis determinedly climbs* the rope ladder to see** what is in the room above.
* Athletics if necessary: 10 (Adv/Dis if needed 23
** Perception if necessary: 5 (Adv/Dis if needed 18

Valar is going to heal himself again: 4
"That is a tidy sum of treasure. I wonder what is in the potion bottle. Shall we head further down?" says Amiz
"Good find, Thelanis." Draíocht drops out of wolf form. "If you need some more healing," he says to Valar, "I can create some gooberries for you to eat."

Amiz will move over to the corpse of Wrorak g'Ruek, and wrangle free the magical axe.
Valar will accompany Amiz over to the corpse, just in case anymore surprises happen
Looking at the arrows, Draíocht tries to determine what possibly magical qualities they have.
Arcana: 10+1 = 11
[[ 133gp, 107sp, 60cp added (diving by 4); 20 arrows (noted magic, will adjust with proper type later) ]]
He keeps watch as Thelanis answer the stone and Amiz and Valar take the greataxe.
