Fong had descended the stone steps, surveying the chamber.
The stone walls were meticulously huneed on either side, scattered with animal skin rugs where the trolls had rested, alongside various disordered personal effects.
It appeared that the trolls had settled here for quite some time.
In the center of the hall stood a rudimentary wooden table upon which rested 12 small cloth bags.
Fonhow approached and opened a bag.
A gravekeeper stepped forward, leaning his white steel sword against the wall, reaching for a bag and opening it.
He poured its contents onto the table.
Clink.
A ruby the size of a thumb rolled onto the surface.
Ruby category mineral description.
A mineral of no use beyond attracting mates, confirming that the bags contain no dangerous or repulsive items.
Fongo inspected each one, finding them hard and solid.
One by one, he opened them, pouring their colorful gemstones onto the table.
Had the trolls begun to study gems? Anya approached from behind, observing the oneeyed trolls attire, which remained quite simple, a fur draped casually around him served as his garment.
Resembling the attire of ancient western civilizations portrayed in films and dramas.
They draped curtains around themselves as if they were garments.
The gemstones were meticulously portioned, seemingly prepared for sale.
Fong Ho gathered all the gems.
The intentions he had previously harbored now seemed trivial, as these treasures rightfully belong to him.
Coincidentally, it was also the moment to select decorative jewels from the goldsmith to bring back with him.
With a thud, two skeletal trolls hoisted a silver chest and unceremoniously cast it at Fong's feet.
The stone chambers floor was already marred with pools of blood, splattered crimson from the recent upheaval.
Open acquired blueprint for a giant wolf fong club, 22 troll stones, 78 warfire coins.
A radiant glow emerged, yet the rewards appeared somewhat meager.
The blueprint was singular, though the 22 troll stones offered a promising opportunity for summoning skeletal trolls.

My lord, your presence is required here.
Domiga called from a short distance away.
Fongghao and Anja approached, following Domiga's gaze to the ground.
Before them stood a stone wall, the floor drenched in a pool of blood that trickled down through the crevices at the corner, a drainage outlet.
Fong Halo pondered only to dismiss the thought immediately.
This did not conform to the function of a drainage system.
The narrow fissure could easily be obstructed by debris.
Perhaps it was a gap formed during secondary construction.
Or there might be another space behind stone wall.
Let us examine it and see if there's a way to open it, Fong House suggested.
The group dispersed, each member seeking a method to unlock the stone door.
With a subtle exertion, Ditiga produced a faint sound from the nearby wall lamp.
Shortly thereafter, the clicking of gears echoed and the stone door began to creek open slowly.
Unexpectedly, this was indeed a mechanism.
As the door fully opened, a dark staircase leading downward was revealed, seemingly leading into an abyss.
The dust that cascaded from the open door indicated that even the trolls who once inhabited this place were unaware of this hidden passage.
Let us descend and investigate.
The trolls have dwelled above for so long.
There should be little cause for concern.
Funhow spoke softly.
Domiga nodded in agreement, reorganizing the team to proceed step by step downward.
The descent continued without incident, and after five or 6 minutes, they encountered a vast chamber.
This space differed from the trolls previous dwelling.
It was surrounded by heaps of ancient damaged weapons and armor.
Dust blanketed the armaments, while plants sprouted through the cracks in the bricks, climbing the decaying weapon racks.
It seemed this was more akin to an underground armory.
Domiga moved forward to examine the area.
Suddenly, the sound of clattering bones erupted as scattered skeletons began to rise, coalescing into skeletal warriors who grasped the decade, rusted weapons strewn about.
Skeletal warrior, fourth tier.
Fongghao exhald in relief upon realizing they were merely ordinary skeletal soldiers.
The familiarity of these foes brought him a slight sense of security.
Let's conclude this swiftly, Fongo instructed.
Understood, my lord.
Domiga raised his sword and charged alongside the skeletal warriors into battle.
The confrontation was brief, and soon all the skeletons present were vanquished.
The team commenced gathering the rotting weapons and armor, intending to return to have them reforged by the blacksmiths.
In a corner lay a silver treasure chest, which Fong Ho opened without hesitation.
Acquired blueprint for armory construction, 12 shadow stones, 93 warfire coins.
The first level concealment cave category.
Special building maximum capacity 10 000 construction requirements.
One, 500 wood, three 200 stone, 520 iron, 80 metal parts.
description.
This structure allows for the concealment of soldiers to achieve strategic objectives.
The concealment cave is indeed an impressive edifice.
The undead constitute the primary force.
Yet, one must consider the impact on the living.
Should concealment caves be established in various locations.
A substantial number of soldiers could be stationed within them, alleviating numerous complications.
A significant collection of weaponry had been amassed, and Fong Hao, with a spirit of experimentation, reached for the wall lamp above.
Click.
The familiar sound of a mechanism being triggered echoed once more.
Indeed, there was something.
Domiga and Ana simultaneously turned their gazes toward the stone door.
As the stone door creaked open, a wave of damp warm air rushed forth.
Continuing their exploration of the next level, Fongghao resolved to organize the gathered equipment upon their return.
He glanced toward the corridor leading to the subsequent level.
Very well, Domiga rallied the team, and everyone proceeded downwards once more.
Halfway down, the stone walls began to transform.
No longer the originally huneed, smooth surfaces, they had morphed into rugged, uneven formations resembling mountains.
The path ahead had also become more arduous.
Descending further, they finally beheld a partially excavated underground palace.
At the center of this palace lay a vast natural pool bubbling with effrovescence.
Swaves of skeleton warriors began to rise from the ground.
Hundreds of skeletal heads rotating stiffly toward the entrance where Fong How and his companion stood.
Subsequently, the skeletons unleashed silent roars, brandishing their weapons and launching an assault toward the staircase.
Kill.
Domiga commanded in a low voice, charging forth alongside the skeletal trolls and grave guardians.
Fungho gripped his staff tightly.
Amidst the flickering light, three wooden spirits coalesed before him.
The moment the wooden spirits manifested, they immediately executed the entangled skill.
Countless vines sprouted from the crevices of the stone, ins snaring the ankles of the enemy skeletons and immobilizing them in place.
Seizing this opportunity, Domiga and Anja did not hesitate to eliminate a large swath of foes.
The battle raged on for nearly an hour.
Beneath the stone steps that Fong Hao and the others defended, a mound of bones had accumulated, leaving them standing at top a hill of skeletons as they recuperated.
