Walker had made so sandwiches from dried ats and no stale bread for everyone. While they munched walker shared the news of the ancient talisman.
"Wait so you're telling we might have the key to so treasure trove?" Gil was still skeptical having never heard of this kind of way to lock a door.
"Yes, and I have a feeling of where to go look." Walker was even thinking of where the talisman may have originated. Since the majority of the undead ca from one place it made sense where it ca from. "The door I opened released that golem and a bunch of undead, statistically that's where the talisman ca from. Plus the other undead have been wandering around the area for who knows how long. We can take this gamble and maybe find sothing big." This was not a terrible idea. They had a lot of ti to continue their hunting but if they discovered sothing historical there could boost their test results higher.
" We also may not return here again or in a very long ti so if we don't take a chance at this we may forever miss out." Su wanted to take advantage of this treasure hunt. As a child, she had always dread of finding riches so she could buy the best dicine for her mother and help her father retire. Even with the hero title assisting in solving these problems she still had this desire.
"Well I want to do it, I think we'll at least find an Interesting souvenir to bring back." Rey made her decision since she was enticed by showing off the things she found to her siblings at the orphanage.
Midnight naturally was ignoring all of them devouring a leg of the jade locust the party had defeated so ti ago.
The party laughed and chatted while they finished their lunch. They put out the fire and cleaned up their camp. It was ti to go exploring!
Walker easily lead them past the square and to the alley way he had found the door. Due to their previous hunting, they didn't encounter a single undead in the imdiate area.
Before entering Walker threw a rock inside to lure anything out that may still be there. " no response, I guess we head inside. Be ready we don't know what's inside." Walker fell behind Su who was holding her shield at the ready.
They crept inside step by step revealing a dingy room. There was rotten wood covering the stone floor. This must have been the old furniture crushed by the zombies. There seed to be stairs heading to a basent and once upon a ti stairs heading to a second floor. However, the second floor had collapsed in on itself without having the stone base like the first floor.
"This first part looks clear let's spread out and give a check quick, then we'll head to the basent. Watch those stairs over there so thing may be down there." Walker's quick order snapped everyone in to scouting mode.
Gil quickly found so ancient gold coins, while Rey found so rusted silver wear.
"Nothing too amazing unless you're collecting rust." Rey was building her hopes up too early for treasure.
"If you're that impatient we can head to the basent already." Walker teased Rey a bit but knew there really wasn't much more than a bad sll on the first floor.
Su lead the way once again as they followed down the stairs. Walker noticed so cracked steps and that the entrance was a bit broken. This was definitely where the undead golem had co from.
The basent was much larger. Water dripped from cracks in the walls adding to the mildew sll. The first floor was also damp but seed to be so with a slimy black liquid. "Nasty! You said that thing was from zombies rotting close together right? Well we found its birth place." Gil was shaking its head. Out of all the ways monsters can be born this was one of the grossest he'd learned.
A scratching sound caught their attention from the corner. They all fell in to battle stances. There was a zombie stuck to the wall. Well what was left of one that is. It had rotted away leaving only a torso and head stuck to the mucky floor. Gil quickly dispatched it with an arrow. "Well I'm glad I've witnessed that zombie turn in to a pile of goop." Gil's sarcasm was boundless.
Su was investigating the other side of the wall "leader can you please use your skill to investigate these bottles?" Su had found a rusting tal rack with ten bottles on it. They were dusty and had faded labels however nothing written was left after years.
'Aged berry wine
This is a specialty wine produced once a year. The longer it is aged the higher quality it becos. In so cases, a bottle can cause an army to beco drunk. Age:489 years quality: top grade estimated price: 800G'
Walker read what his system gave him as an answer and they were all floored. A wine that could make an army dunk? "Wait did you just say eight hundred gold for a bottle!" Rey was stuck in the extravagant price.
"I knew this was sothing good. I heard that so wines when aged beco much higher quality. This is the exact case." Su had rembered eting a friend of her parents who had a wine tasting system. This person had spoken of the intricacy of wine however Su being young and never having any made his words gibberish at the ti.
"Well this could be a really nice gift, or to celebrate our promotion if we pass the test." Walker was happy to find sothing so interesting. Who would have thought this aged wine would persevere hundreds of years.
Midnight let out a slight huff drawing everyone's attention. She had reached the end of the basent which seed darker. Walker went to et her finding the basent didn't end. Instead there were intricate stone carvings of angels and skeletons on the wall. A stone archway with an opening leading down even more stairs. Sadly Walker realized he couldn't read the symbols written in stone.

Walker smiled as the words in stone beca clear to him.
