"Ah yes, you got the stones right?" Shor asked you. Pyllia overheard and was curious. "Stones? Oh, like this one?" Pylia took out the stone they picked up from the trog. "Honestly I just thought it was a trog thing, like an effigy or something. There's also the key he had too." Pylia took out the rusty key from her pocket. Shor nods at both. "Could be useful. Let's go see Aisha." With nothing else to do here, your group would meet up with Aisha as she comes back from the front line. She reports that Kor and Cera are overseeing protection for the kobolds to Dragon's Watch while Yorik maintains the rear guard fort, though they're in the process of breaking it down to have supplies for repairs at Dragon's Watch. Seeing the whole group Aisha guessed you wanted her to check on some items. "I'm sure you've all picked up quite a bounty, so let's go somewhere where we can sit down and look it over."
The group convenes at the armory and sits around a table. It takes some time but with Pylia's and Shortfang's help Aisha is able to identify all the items within the hour. She sets aside two potions filled with a red liquid. "These are potions of healing, pretty basic level." Then she sets aside a potion with cloudy green fluid and a jellyfish-like bubble floating in it. "This is a potion of water breathing. Makes sense that one would be down here, though I'd hate to be the unfortunate soul swimming in sewer water." She then gently puts the two scrolls before everyone. "This one right here is a Scroll of Infestation. It's a cantrip level spell, very basic. Summon a swarm of insects to attack your foe and cause them to run around in a panic. And this one... Very interesting, this one is a Scroll of Find Familiar. Effectively, you can use this scroll to summon a create similar to your friend's owl." Aisha motioned towards Syfr. "Those arrows Shortfang has are enchanted with minor magic. Nothing unique, they're simply sharper to allow them to do more damage and more easily pierce armor. Every bit helps though right?" And finally there was the bag. "It seems like you all already have something similar, but this is a Bag of Holding. Very important for your typical adventurer, it allows you to put up to five hundred pounds of objects into the bag without ever feeling that weight. Just make sure you don't let it get damaged or put another bag of holding or similar object inside of it unless you like being teleported to an empty vastness of space."
Finally there were the three red stone veins. Aisha actually had to separate them with some sticks, because they seem drawn to one another. "Very curious. Alone, they hardly have a magic aura. When two are together, they seem to respond to one another but the magic is still weak. But now that I have three together, I can easily sense their magic powers." Aisha looked to Pylia who seemed nervous. "I can tell you noticed too. Powerful necromancy." Shor was concerned. "Necromancy? What the hells sort of undead abomination would this summon?" Aisha simply signed and shook her finger at the captain. "Now now captain. I understand that when you hear Necromancy, you'll think undead hordes, ghouls and vampires, and all sorts of nasty creatures. But there is also another function of necromancy. After all, Necromancy is the magic that controls death. To inflict it... Or Prevent it."
Aisha allowed the stones to converge. They slammed together and started to fit in a very intricate fashion, like seeing some sort of puzzle cube solve itself. Eventually it formed into a vibrant red stone in the shape of a heart, but an actual cardiovascular one. "Now I see what it is. I'll admit this is the first time I've ever seen one myself. But this is known as a Wakestone. You can use these stones to bring someone back from the dead. Or if you happen to have one on you when you die, it will bring you back to life, restoring damage done to your body instantly. Those Troglodytes have no idea what they had with them."
