Listening to further explanation regarding the skull, Carnatia concluded that it was probably not worth carrying it with her. While it would no doubt fetch a nice price from inquisitive mages, there was no sense bringing it if it could affect the group with its effect, which could be hazardous in a battle.

The only way to carry it safely appeared to be the metal box, which wouldn't be practical. Therefore, it was best to leave it here. The dagger, however, was another matter. It would not work without the skull, but it was still a unique artefact with peculiar enchantment. She could get into some arrangement with one of the arcane universities for a finder's fee. And then she would sell the map to the vault so they could do their own expedition to recover the skull.

That sounded like the best compromise.
