Veil of the Cult Apostle

After the cultists fell, the party finds the small chamber where twelve acolytes had gathered around a crude stone altar and a single, more ornate dais for their apostle. The room smells faintly of burned tallow and iron; black candles toppled into melted pools of wax, and strips of torn robe and prayer beads litter the floor. Most cultists carried only cheap daggers, a few copper coins, and the ritual supplies they had been hoarding. The cult apostle, however, had been entrusted with the group's true assets: a battered spell fragment, a healing vial, and a crudely fashioned amulet that bears the cult's sigil. Among the bodies you recover a hasty ledger of donations and a locked iron box whose key was left in the apostle's belt.
