Interlude: Eilatra's discovery

Eilatra watched as her minotaur guard turned the corpse over, releasing an odious smell. The pair of masked men that followed her recoiled from the stench, she stepped forward. The haphazardly clad mercernary's teeth and tongue had rooted and his mouth was now an empty maw, black sludge seeped from his loosely open lips, no doubt the source of the smell.

"How naughty, Lunni kitten. No protective wards or even a spell deflecting charm." Approving of her stray apprentice's ruthlessness. She chopped with her arm, indicating they should proceed. He was useless and would offer no more information just like the first one. Leave him to join the damned of Nuk'karu in their eternal rest.

No traps hindered their progress into the temple. It set her guards on edge, expecting every deepened shadow to hold some ancient monster or deadly contraption. Almost a relief when a loose set of rocks tumbled from the ceiling.

The minotaur's sense of direction was unerring and the company soon found themselves in the antechamber of the temple's main crypt. They saw the corpses of the other two mercenaries, the one mounted atop the opened sarcophagus bringing a hearty and genuine laugh to Painweaver's lips. Their curses were always so much fun and inventive, an inspiration.

"Let me handle the rest boys." She strode up to the altar alone as they took up a defensive position, sensing the magic that still lingered here from Lunnara's breaking the Forge-egg's seal. Not expecting much, she unceremoniously shoved the corpse away with a blast of telekinetic ****. The wall cracked where he slammed into it.

Nothing.

Just as she was about to leave, she stepped on a cloak. Possessed by a sudden curiosity, she brought it up to for inspection. The fur was matted in certain spots and a familiar smell reached her nose along with the odor of an unwashed male. Cum. Seemed Lunni had celebrated her victory here, temporary as it would eventually turn out to be.

When she moved to discard it, she saw the wall the mercenary had hit had partially fallen away to reveal a secret cache with a lone item inside:

A fleshy... ballsack?
