Jobin throws a holy grenade at the ghast, but misses, although a bit splashes on him.
It lashes out in anger, one lightning fast claw after another!
They hit, gashing out flesh wounds on her shoulder.
Seeing his prey satisfyingly harmed, He takes a 5-foot step in the square in which lilia is standing, seeing her paralyzed.
With all his rage, the ghast throws itself at Hyglak's throat, bringing the staunch man to the floor.

E'li hits the self-proclaimed 'lord of the necropolis' flat on the chest, causing a flash of light and the familiar smell of burning flesh. For a moment, he staggers back, but then returns with the wrath of orcus himself.
A rolling wave comes crashing into the room, spraying salt water in your eyes.

The eagles are coming!!
For a moment you all stand in silence, accepting your fate. Then it appears the ghast is finished, as Radayah feels a warm bird sitting on her shoulder. When your vision returns, a mangled and clawed corpse lies spread-eagled over the floor, screeched at by the eagle before it disappears in a *poof*.
After a short while Lilia, Hyglak and E'li return to their senses, drenched in sea water but alive.

Hyglak wakes with a jolt. "AHH get off m...." He sits up and sees the rest of the group standing over the creature on the ground. "I thought for sure I was going to meet the Drunken Hero. I am glad I was wrong. Can I get some help up my legs are a little wobbly." Extending a hand up.
After getting up he pull a vial with blue liquid out of his belt pouch and drains it.
"Now that is better. Let's find this ring and get out of this pit of death."

In one of the alcoves, you find a discarded gold-plated death mask in osirion fashion.
There are 6 sarcophagi, which need a bit of a team effort to open , but eventually you manage to open them all.
In one, a set of polished silver plates with the decorative bust of a Taldan noble rising from its center like a man from a mercury pool lies next to the contents of the coffin. In a second, you find a gold-plated, ceremonial longsword. One by one, the sarcophagi reveal their secrets: Three torcs of braided gold and electrum; an ornate Osirian hourglass filled with ash; a “priceless” Qadiran stone tablet detailing the first invasion of Taldor; and a giant sack of various coins from civilizations long past. When you get to the last unopened sarcophagus, the stone lid slides aside with the sound of a grinding millstone, lighter than the others. The well-preserved body of a young girl lies inside, stringy black hair obscuring the face. Her atrophied limbs are drawn up like folded sticks against her torn school uniform. On her fingers of her right hand, she is wearing a two-finger ring topped with a ruby salamander.

Ok. I understand now, says Jobin. this is a Osirian or a Taldan who was inspired by Osiris necropolis. Let's the dead and the treasure here. We have no right to disturb them.
We purged this place from undeath. We can now return the objects, we found to their place.They were useful, but it was not ours and we shouldn't disturb the dead more.
Jobin takes a great breath.
Ok Pharasma, I hope you accept this, thinks Jobin. She didn't have have been blessed by a priest when... or that ghast was maybe a priest but he was undeath . So, It didn't matter.
Jobin bless this place using water and does a pharasmian rituel. (Use your imagination)

The girl... She is still alive! Might be best to leave the ring where it is for now.
Returning the barely living body of Junia to Lady Dacilane has several repercussions: she’s naturally overwhelmed with joy and sends for the best clerics of Asmodeus at once to see to her daughter’s recovery. Lady Dacilane alters her previous reward and promises to assist you in the future if you ever have any need of information about the aristocrats of Absalom— a small gesture, to be sure, but a very generous one in the mind of Lady Dacilane. The other parents, upon hearing that there was a miraculous survivor after all these years, mob the Tri-Towers Yard in an attempt to gain access to the necropolis. Absalom’s city watch is called in to quiet the disturbance and sends in a team to search for additional survivors. Of course, there are none.
When the ruby ring of the salamander is returned to the Pathfinder Society, they will be naturally pleased at acquiring such an important artifact. Venture Captain Drenge personally thanks you for your service to the Society.

While doing his blessing, Jobin remarks something. The color of the skin of the young lady was too colorful for a dead. Even if it was only year ago.
Wait a minute... That shouldn't be possible.
He wait two seconds, fearing it is an another undeath.
When nothing arrive. He touchs the body. The body was not cold. It was warm on her skin.
I know it should be impossible. But it she's alive? We had found a body only months dead.
Hypothèse. This is the necropolis of two lovers. An osirian pricess and a Taldorian. Maybe he was also noble. The guy was in the first invision of taldor. They find love and run here with the servant or slave. There where waiting for an age their love where permit. This ring... is a subtenance. it should have work for both. For some reason, they became undeath. Orsirian curse maybe.
The quake. Children come here for safety. Maybe, they already know that place. They can't go out because of the rock. They were accepted by the undeath because they are like the old couple.
But for some reason. The lord (probably the taldan)decide he have enough so he strap the girl with the ring of substenance left the boy to die.
She seem alive. The body is not dead in fact., Jobin says.

It takes a while before Lilia snaps out of her state of paralysis. when she finally does, Lilia walks over to the body of the girl.
"How's that possible?" she asks while looking at Jobin.
"Wow... She's one lucky kid then."
Lilia rubs her neck and makes a slightly pained face. "I think I need some rest now. I went down a couple of times too often during this mission, and I still feel sore. I think we did well though, albeit we barely pulled through in the end. I never expected such a strong enemy in the necropolis!"
"I hope we'll get to work with each other again! Maybe we can have a drink together this evening, after some rest?"
I propose three thing. Heal, remove sickness and anti plague... with give us +13 of bonus to remove disease. That would cost.. 50 for the antiplague.

Hyglak will follow the group back to the Lady Dacilane to deliver the living child. "That ring is very powerful. It keep that girl alive for 10 years down in that pit. Amazing!"
After dropping the ring off at the lodge Hyglak take Lilia up on her offer of drinks. "Let's go lass! I'll show you how us from the north drink!!"
