Davner looks through the cairn of skulls, hoping to find more treasure where some has already been revealed. He tosses empty skulls aside, some of which still have bits of flesh attached. It doesn't take him long to find the bullywug chieftain’s hoard contained within an unlocked chest hidden under the pile of skulls.
Treasure:
A palm-sized rhombus made of a dark blue, stone-like material
A necklace with three large red gemstones that capture the light in such a way that they seem to move slightly
A small ceramic jar with a blood-red paste inside
An expensive-looking sapphire

Unearthing the chest from the mound of skulls “Jackpot!” Pulling it out a dragging it into some form of light. He goes through the times one by one with the group around. “Figure we can split it up evenly yeah?” He says as he holds onto the stone inspecting it.
When Davner picks up the rhombus, he's jolted by a small electric shock. Feeling it in his palm, he can tell that it contains some arcane power.

Davner remembers meeting a wizened old conjurer at a fair once, who told him a story of sixteen long-dead gods who fought a terrible war against an invasion from an alien plane of existence. In the end, the only way to stop the invaders was for the gods to lock their essence inside the shards of a frozen dream, each of which served as a node in the net that held out the aliens. The sixteen shards were scattered long ago, but occasionally great heroes find one of them and become the champions of the gods inside.
If the shards were ever reunited, the portal to that other plane could be reopened. Whoever did this would become the most powerful magician of this or any age, but would it be worth the cost?
It's possible that the very stone that Davner holds is one of these mythical items. If it is, its colour suggests that it imprisons the ancient god of foresight.
Of course, this is probably just foolish folklore, a silly tale told by an old man. Even if it were true, there's no way some two-bit tyrant like Gloorpk would have found one of them.

Ursula inspects the treasure with a discerning eye, her focus drawn to the crystal held by Davner. A mighty fine hoard for such a monster, hey? Splittin' it seems only fair. Davner, what've you got there that's got yer face all screwed up tight and thinking-like?
Tafod will examine the xbow he took off the Bullywug Chieftain, as he does he'll add to the general conversation, "I be al'ays likin' th' gold ye ken. Though I be thinkin' yon Davner's a might fixated w' yon gem, wh't e'er it be, is no simple crystal by th' look o' 'is face." He chuckles.

Panic is a mechanism that strengthens the gene pool.
Gloorpk's crossbow is fairly standard in itself, but it's been heavily adapted to shoot special ammunition. In the dragon skull, Tafod finds 6 of the strange bolts that the bullywug was using. They're fat and cylindrical, coming to a point at the tip. If you shake them around, they make a weird sloshing noise, as though there's some liquid inside.

Tafod will recall the range at which the gas was released (about 30' yes?) and examine the bolts carefully. Is there any indication as to how the are triggered? He thinks that that they did not hit anything before they released the gas so, how could the gas release have been triggered?

The sapphire is non-magical, but it is pretty. The paste and the necklace both have some kind of arcane aura, but Davner can't figure out much more than that.

Now that Quyst is stabilized, Tafod will check the corpse of the chieftain for anything else of interest. As he looks he says, "Mayhaps we'll 'ave t' carry Quyst back t' the Druids grove, less we wanna rest 'ere."

Sighing, Ursula helps pick the wounded tiefling off the ground as best she can given her height. Well, nothing more to be done here, eh? Let's head back t'the Druid and tell her the good news. Would be nice to get dry in front of a fire, too.
As the group starts to head out of the caves to find a warm place to rest, they hear a loud and triumphant croak coming from the cave mouth!

Excited by the arcane charge, Davner tries to find some purpose of the stone.

OCC Ack! Didn't realize Tafod could stablize.
Tafod, mumbling, "Idiot!" rushes over to Quyst and attempts to stablize her.

Davner explains the history and old story as he pockets the stone. “I mean it would be foolish if it was one of those.... right?”
Im willing to help look at the other stuff we found too:
Necklace: 9
Ointment: 6
Sapphire: 16
”I don’t think it’s proper to call her names while she is down like that.” In response to Tafod stabilizing Quyst.
"I bes talkin' t' meself" Tafod growls as he works on Quyst.
