Chapter 15 by Shibbar Shibbar

What's next?

A tunnel with scattered bones

Nora{if Roxxy is alive = true} and Roxxy are{else} is{endif} standing in a stone chamber. It's dusty and dry. There is a table chopped in half in the centre, with a few splintered stools around it. But what's most noticable in this room, are several skeletons scattered and leaning around the room, wearing moth raddled clothing, except for the one slumped against a chair behind the table, which sports a rusty helmet and hauberk. {if Roxxy is alive = true}

"What the heck happened in here?" Roxxy asked quizically. She squatted and inspected a skeleton, carefully moving their tattered clothing to the side. "Were these people... gnawed on?"

Nora shrugged. "I'm no mortician." She picked up a half shattered rib, before tossing it back on the ground. "Hm? Hey look over there, where the table is. There's something shiny in the mess." They both hurried over to the chopped table, and Nora picked up something shiny. It was a long metal rectangle that felt hefty, but sat comfortably in her hand. On one end there was a ring, with a tattered piece of ribbon hanging off, and on the other was a tiny hole, about the diametre of a needle.

"It looks like a key," Roxxy said, crossing her arms, "it's probably used to open something."

"No shit Sherlock; keys are used to open things. Never would've guessed."

"Hey, I'm just being observant, okay? I mean, sure, what I said was really dumb, but you don't have to be such a bitch about it."

Nora rolled her eyes and placed the key in her pocket for later.{else}Nora noticed something shiny among the table remains, and went over to pick it up.

There's nothing else of use in this room.
