Chamber of Obrum

 

In this chamber, there are six sarcophagi, each set into an alcove where drought stone has been hewn square or bricks have been added to create an appropriate burial space. All of the sarcophagi here are broken open, with the corpses removed and devoured down to the bone, powdered sulphur, which was used to preserve the corpses, is scattered everywhere.

On the far side of this chamber two ghouls are scavenging for corpse flesh they may have missed. If these ghouls detect the players at all, they will retreat into the deeper chambers of the crypt, otherwise, if they can be ambushed, and any possibility of escape prevented, the players can start the Skittish Ghouls Encounter.

On the eastern wall of the chamber is a shrine to Obrum the Builder, completely covered in cobwebs, and undisturbed for over a century. As the patron of tradespersons, this shrine was likely sanctified here by miners to watch over them when this was still a working mine.

Clearing away the cobwebs will reveal relics left behind for centuries; a golden hammer and a golden drawing compass (neither of these will function as a weapon). If anyone with the Blessing of Obrum removes, or knowingly allows these relics to be removed from this shrine, they will lose their blessing. If the shrine is cleaned and cleared, anyone who upholds the ideals of Obrum can pray for his blessing and receive it.
