Two of my friends, Sidney and Khezzean, stayed to dig; Xanrion the haberdasher and I went to take a closer look at a tomb where others had found a pair of nice vases. That tomb contained a wicker frame surrounding a decaying body. One of the others, actually with a sword and armor, cut off its head. I expected it to rise up and kill us, but the body remained dead. We found nothing of any value, though.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Shadowmaze -- Session 6</title><link>https://oldschoolgamers.org/shadowmaze/2025-07-14-merrythane/</link><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jul 2025 03:26:52 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://oldschoolgamers.org/shadowmaze/2025-07-14-merrythane/</guid><description>&lt;div class="lightbox-gallery" style="">

&lt;p>Finally! Having saved a perfect round number of 100 silver coins as seed money, it was time to seek my fortune in the barrowmaze.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Three of my friends were ready to stake their lives on the chance for fortune as well. One of them, a haberdasher, managed to sell two of his fancy hats on the open market and had even more gold burning a hole in his pocket than my silvers worth of savings. Even pooling our money would not be enough to obtain real armor or weapons, but we could afford small luxuries: extra torches, a sling for all four of us, rope, crowbars. Rumor had it that crowbars worked well for prying open the shallow barrows likely to hold untapped treasures near the surface. My group of friends and some other newish adventurers decided we would try that.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
