Angra 22 1568 (at the Zainge River)
A Chance Encounter
My travels took me near to Krandor. It had been quite a long time since I had set foot in that village, but in need of a good kitchen, ale and a meal I stopped by the inn. Much to my surprise I found Neena there.
We shared a meal together and had a long 'discussion' of news and such. I then agreed to accompany her to the house of the dead.
It is a terrifying place.
I have been in this crypt and others in the past but never on a trip like this one. We were (as expected) assailed by the corpses and such of those we had disturbed. There is no reasoning with them so we of course defended ourselves. But this time we moved slowly, almost reverently, as if we acknowledged we were trespassers. The priestess took care of the dead, as far as that might be possible, by gathering the remains , blessing them and reinterring them. After a while it seemed not unusual and I assisted her as well as I might.
We ventured as deep as we thought was prudent. I showed her a chamber with an altar but she could only observe it from a distance safely.
It was only later after a good sleep (and having departed Krandor) that I realized I have a hundred questions to ask of her about these crypts and their denizens. I suspect she has answers to some. I'd wager she seeks answers to most .
I must head back to Krandor and find out.
