You enter a still-dark room that appears to be L-shaped. The room looks approximately 35' by 20' at this section and 20' by 15' in the L part to your left. From the inside, you can tell the windows are iron latticework fotted with squares of frosted glass. Arranged haphazardly on the floor 0f the musty room are thirteen wooden coffins.
"True enough, I'll start then. You recently came into possession of a set of bones, by not so orthodox methods, am I right? A relic from the church that kept evil at bay. Why? Are you working with the evil forces in this land?"

"Let's not needlessly make grand accusations. Perhaps he has a good reason. Maybe there was a misunderstanding." Letharran turns to the man. "The important thing is, where must we go to retrieve the bones? It may be a matter of safety for the entire town."
He looks at you each for a long, silent moment, then hangs his head and breaks down. He haltingly tells this story. "One night, several months ago, an imposing, well-dressed nobleman named Vasili von Holtz showed up at my door and promised me 'good business' in exchange for my help. He had some....bodies...placed in coffins in a room upstairs. When I heard about the bones, I was ordered to obtain them, so I paid the groundskeeper to bring them to me."
"With him? Why, right here at my shop. It was strange to see someone so well-dressed here. No one really likes to come to see me at all because of my craft. He hasn't actually told me what to do with the bones yet anyway."
"Well that's easy enough. Let's get them back to the church, they'll know how to deal with them and probably re-enchant them to work again. If you're worried about Von Holtz just tell him to come see us. We'll sort this thing out."

Wijen saunters in and observes the room

"I love what you've done with the place," Lae mutters.
"Well, gents, should we continue our pleasantries or get down to business?"

"While it usually best to take ones time, we have little available."

Lae grunts through gritted teeth, "Accusations, or not disturbing the dead is heretical... I for one would like to hear the reason!"

"The hole goes deeper... Where do we find this Von Holtz?"

"I don't know. I only saw him the once. I had never seen them before and have not seen him since."
"And where did this exchange happen?"
"With him? Why, right here at my shop. It was strange to see someone so well-dressed here. No one really likes to come to see me at all because of my craft. He hasn't actually told me what to do with the bones yet anyway."
"You still have them?"
-We are all just one failed saving throw away from someone else's fantasy...
He nods.

"The bones are upstairs in the wardrobe in the bedroom. The bodies that gave me the orders are in the big room upstairs."
"Thank you. Shall we?" Zander heads to the bedroom to collect the bones, assuming everyone else is coming.

Lae shakes his head, "I'll see to them," as he walks towards the staircase.
Letharran places a hand on Lae's shoulder. "In these lands, it's best to never travel alone, no matter how short the distance."
