Ana raised an eyebrow in appraisal. A wizard skilled in illusion? That had been one of the skills Ana had never been able to pin down. She could do it, sure, but holding it was near impossible and there were always slight nuances in her work that made it possible to see it for what it was - a trick.

"As for your questions . . . Miles, is it?" Ana crossed her ankles and brought her folded hands to rest on her knees. "[i]That tomb[/i], as you so eloquently put it, belongs to King Segarus. If you don't mind me giving you all a history lesson, he was one of the most prominent kings in our kingdom's history. If you didn't already know, he unified both halves of the continent." She sniffed. "As such, he wished to be buried with enough gold and jewels and artifacts befitting a man of his status."

A couple of the locals eyed the gathered group curiously. Ana gave them a pointed glare until they looked away. When she had first arrived, they hadn't seen her as much of a threat. She quickly remedied that.

"And why we will see results where countless others have failed . . ." She reached into her satchel and pulled out a tightly rolled scroll. The seal had all but fallen off, the wax so old it had crumbled to near dust ages ago. The paper, however, remained intact thanks to the magic of the library's sorceresses. "I'd let you all see it, but I'd rather not stain the paper with . . . [i]that[/i]." She frowned down at the sticky countertop. "In short, this is a scroll that had been kept in Marillon's extensive library, forgotten in the back chambers. It tells where the tomb used to be. Hopefully it will be enough to get us close to where it is now. Bear in mind, though, that when we manage to find the entrance, an illusionary spell isn't the only thing protecting the tomb."
