Spoils of the Broken Altar

The cultists fell amid upturned banners and broken altar stones. Their frantic last rites left behind a scatter of practical valuables and a few items touched by their dark rites. Among the mud and splintered wood the party finds a coin pouch, trade gems pried from offerings, a useful potion, a clerical spell scroll salvaged from a ruined prayer book, a reliable +1 shortsword torn from a fanatic's belt, and a sealed flask of alchemical fire. Tucked beneath a slab of altar rock lies a small bloodstained icon, bitter with superstition and worth more to inquisitive collectors or enemy priests than to a battlefield scavenger. The haul is suitable for a level 5 party seeking to repair wounds, resupply, and profit from the cult's failed incursion.
