55 A silver treasure chest

[ "Why are we in our ancestral sanctuary master?" ]

These trolls had a burial tradition and greatly respected their ancestors.

Their reverence for them and everything associated with them ran so deep that, under ordinary circumstances, they wouldn't even allow their own unqualified people to set foot in these sacred places or lay hands on their belongings.

[ "Just to take your prayer stone. No biggie." ]

And we were here to take the prayer stone that they must have been using as a prayer and offering altar for multiple generations now. Which, as a matter of fact, was a silver treasure chest.

[ "T-the prayer stone?!" ]
