After Kassen disappears, Mercutio takes the pretty sword, and the team make their way back through the crypt.
The girl is reunited with her brother, who seems to have regained some of his senses, albeit not all after the ordeal.
The trek would last a mere few days.
Along the way...
In the evening of the first day, you notice some of your items are looking a little worn.
The evening the 2nd day even more so.
"Their souls follow the natural order. They will travel to the realm of the judge."
Back in town, halfway the third day, the mayor welcomes you.
He notices the bodies of Brayden and Maladash, and offers a short service and prayer on their behalf.
As such, the celebrations are of mixed feelings, as two of the generous adventurers have lost their lives, doing the town a service.
During the next days, day 4 & 5, you notice your items (all of them) have deteriorated even further.

Mercutio looks with horror at his moonstone cufflinks, which have worn down more in the last day or so than they have in the (roughly?) 600 years of their prior ownership by his family.
Then he looks down at his fearsome new sword...and smiles a small, bittersweet smile.
"Touche, little Tyrfing."
He makes his way back to the Crypt, and puts it back where it was found.
He looks over the coffin and its occupant for a moment, and unable to recognize any indicator as to who it may be, waves an irate finger at the masked corpse.
"You know...whoever you were...you tightfisted sorts...YOU'RE NO FUN."
With that, he swirls his cape about him in a huff and strides from the tomb.
A merchant coach stops by town, conveniently, and you can ride along to the nearest civilized city.
There, a funeral is held for Brayden and Maladash at the local lodge.
