Treasury Report
-
Your Eminence,
The treasury is growing steadily these days.
Unfortunate though it is, in times of war the catacombs do well.
I’ve counted 16,000 GP and an equal amount in platinum last week.

Unusual Artifact
Your Eminence,
I have uncovered an unusual artifact. A set of nesting dolls, that I believe to be Dwarven in nature.
They do not appear to be magical, but I’ve set them into the artifact vault for safe-keeping.
I suspect they belong to another religious order. Should they come knocking, we’ll earn ourselves a tidy ransom.

Mad Ravings
Johannes brought back a strange crystal today. He told me that it was just a black sapphire, but there’s something wrong with it. I’ve worked with death long enough to know what that thing is.
It’s a phylactery.
The only question is, whose?
For now, I’ve stored it in the maximum security vault, and commanded Wrinkle not to let anyone in unless they give a password.
That bloody thing is going to kill us all.
It’s going to kill us all.
kill us all.
KILL US ALL.
KILL US ALL.
KILL US ALL. KILL US ALL.
