Karia joins Essel and Slope in the storerooms. With the blade, she brutalises one of the grain sacks to gain strips of rough sackcloth. With those, she successfully ties them round another sack, gaining a primitive bag she fills with bread and salt beef before slinging over her back.
Slope looks under the cloth. Inside, wrapped delicately in a crinkling paper, was a small grey crystal. He could feel the vibration of power - not physically, but like a ringing in his soul.
Essel holds up the glass slabs. On the wall is projected liens of writing - though the rough stone and flickering light make it had to read, he figures out it's a bunch of prayers to the King. Where the Heroes are mentioned, the Fallen's name is carefully scratched out to illegibility. He picks up a pickaxe, the wood of the handle scratched with axe. The head is iron or steel - study, and without rust. Without enough hands, he places down his sword - the heavy pickaxe takes two hands to swing effectively.
Sučana remembers the leather bag she saw in the ossurary, and grabs it. Something clinks inside, and when she peers within there are thirteen flecks of blue crystal - roughly hexagonal in shape. She brings it through to the storeroom, where she assaults the barrels along with Essel. The smell of spirits and lamp oil fills the air. The barrels are study, but do not hold up to their combined forces.
