Round 10

As the party stood before the cracked threshold of the abandoned church, a faint glint caught Silra's eye - the hidden compartment behind the stone slab revealed by her deft fingers, granting partial access to the nave's inner sanctum. The rusted key and faded parchment marked with the church's sigil lay within, awaiting Gravedigger Renn's touch. His cautious gaze flickered towards Sister Hale before he handed over the key, his voice low and measured as he spoke of hidden dangers beneath the streets.

Sister Hale's steady eyes locked onto Jeane, her expression a mixture of concern and wariness, as she guided Gravedigger Renn toward the side door. The air was heavy with tension, but Silra's calm demeanor belied the unease that had been building within her since Gravedigger's cryptic warning. As they entered the church, the sound of distant bells echoed through the empty halls, drawing the attention of the city guard approaching in the distance.

The party moved with caution, their footsteps echoing off the stone walls as they navigated the nave. Silra disarmed a tripwire near the altar, triggering a bell that drew the attention of the city guard, who now stood at the entrance, their eyes fixed on the trio with suspicion. Jeane's shimmering image of the forged letter hung in midair, its words of authorization and cooperation hanging precariously in the balance.
