The Last Keeper's Hidden Cache

The hidden panel shifts with a gritty sigh, revealing a stone-lined bronze coffer wedged into the darkness. Its lid is furred with green corrosion, and an eye-shaped seal hangs beneath the hasp. When the party opens it, the stale scent of lamp oil, old paper, and funerary dust spills into the room. Beneath the documents and tools lie electrum plaques, a child's bracelet, and a black-stone key that seems to drink in the torchlight. The final papyrus bears an unfinished list of names, suggesting that whoever hid the cache expected to return, but never did.
