Spoils

While Lemiel and Cherchiel work to get Talwa down Yulia casts identify on the objects they got from the Rack.

"The Needle Mace, a somewhat awkward weapon it is nevertheless extremely potent owing to it's secondary characteristic. While hitting someone with it might hurt them, it's not as effective as a normal bludgeoning weapon, however hitting someone with this weapon will also afflict them with a deadly poison. The weapon will poison any suitable target upon hitting and hitting the same target repeatedly will increase the potency of the poison. A weapon that deals little direct damage, but nevertheless kills without fail," the spell returns.

"The Carapace Armor, a suit of plate style armor made from the interlocked scales of the Rack. Provides full coverage and good defense, however it's real power is in it's miraculous ability to allow the wearer to roll up into a ball at which point they are both completely immune from damage and able to use the Rack's own rolling charge attack. Of course the size of the wearer affects the size and therefore effectiveness of the charging sphere," the spell returns.

Yulia takes this opportunity to recharge Lemiel's plasma rifle as well before with the now untied and lowered Talwa they head to the treasury.

The room is unchanged from earlier and once again they find themselves admiring the massive pile of treasure before heading to the chests. As they begin to look through the chests the pile stirs suddenly and a massive Naga emerges. As he does the massive pile collapses, revealing that he was in fact the majority of it, the much smaller pile of treasure having been primarily piled onto him to appear much larger and hide his presence.

"They have been granted access! They have rid us of the Rack and discovered the source of the Curse upon our temple!" Hess quickly declares and the Naga stops, standing still and staring at the group.

"Wow... Okay I did not expect the massive and terrifying guardian..." Yulia admits looking up at him. She was extremely grateful the curse was no longer affecting her currently as while he was wearing an ornate loincloth that covered his crotch, she could still make out the general shape of a cock that was larger than her in both length and width, "fuck he'd kill me..." she mutters quietly.

With him still watching them, looming above them menacingly they turned their attention back to the Chests. In one chest they find a staff made out of Jagged crystal and topped with a sphere that glows with an inner light, that light occasionally traveling down through the pole of the staff and refracting off the crystals that make up it's length. Lemiel carefully handles it as she looks it over.

"There is absolutely no way someone could wield this staff without cutting their hands to ribbons," she says a little confused and Yulia casts identify on it.

"The Prism Staff, a magical staff that drains the wielders life in order to empower their spell casting ability, doubles the potency of Offensive Magics and grants access to the spell Searing Light,"it returns. Yulia explains what it said and Lemiel gingerly puts it back in the chest.

"Okay we'll put that in the maybe pile," she says. Goma takes out a necklace with a medallion attached to the front, the medallion depicting a dragon.

"Aspect of the Apex, grants the wearer increased physical strength, but drains their intelligence, making them akin to a feral beast, also causes the wearer to grow a thick spiky tail, large wings, fangs and claws," it returns.

"Well... It kind of sounds like the boar mask, but a bit better," Yulia says after telling everyone what identify returned and then hesitates, "these were from previous chosen possibly and a lot of the most powerful items we've seen come from the wandering monsters, do you think... The chosen who had this... Beat a wandering dragon monster to get this? Cause that's badass!" she adds seeming excited at the prospect.

The next item recovered is a bottle shaped like a woman bound with her arms above her head, the bottle is filled with a pink liquid.

"The Potion of Libidinous Vitality, imbibing this potion grants a permanent status effect. The imbiber heals from all injuries immediately, but in return they become more and more horny as they heal injuries. Also gives or increases the level of the masochism Fetish," the spell returns.

"A potion that basically makes you completely immune to injury, but at the cost of turning you into a wanton slut who would likely just give themselves over to the monsters that would potentially have harmed them in the first place," Yulia mutters and then sighs, "I think I can imagine why the previous wielder ended up not using it," she adds.

Lastly they find a shield with such a polished sheen it was reflective and they could see themselves perfectly while looking at it.

"The Guardian's Mirror, a shield that reflects any damage or magical effect back to the one who produced it, however while it does reflect the damage or effect, it does not in fact prevent all of the damage or effect from also effecting the wielder," the spell returns.

"I mean reflecting 100% of damage taken, but in return only negating say... 50% of that damage is in the right circumstances, like say having a dedicated healer, still really effective," Yulia notes, glancing over at Cherchiel, clearly imagining the idea.

"There's more stuff, but none of the rest of it seems really useful," Maple says after a bit.

"Apologies, but obviously if something was too useful we'd just use it ourselves instead of leaving it unused in the Treasury," Hess points out.

"Alright so, we can take any or all of these and then move on, there seems to be some disagreement about whether to go back to the Tomb or the Hive, it does occur to me that with The Desert Mother at the tomb now though, it might be a bit hazardous to go there, at least without making her leave again temporarily," Yulia admits.
