  • Pried open the tomb with a handy crowbar.

  • Subdued the holy relics with a show of Law (and a well placed attack).

  • Did not dance with the floating skeletons, nor loot the coffins of Sir Chyde’s family.

  • Lit the candle of Saint Sedge, revealing a secret door.

  • Discovered the name of one of Sir Chyde’s hounds in a poem engraved on a brass sheet.

  • Fled from the skittering sound in the teeth-chewed tunnel.

  • Learned the name of Sir Chyde’s other hound by removing mold from a mural.

  • Ghesh was felled by mold spores, but miraculously recovered.

  • Spoke the names of the hounds at the double doors, granting passing to Sir Chyde’s resting place.

  • Promised the ghost of Sir Chyde to take his ring to his betrothed, reuniting them.

  • Left with the ring instead, in order to fulfil the recruitment mission from the League of the Oaken Table.
