*The creatures scatter into the depths of the caverns with echoing cries.
 	
*Renatus: Ugh. Hope they don't come back.
 	
*Renatus: But...What IS this place?
 	
*Empty of its shrieking inhabitants, the glittering floor of the room is in fact a generous spill of coins.
*Tucked here and there are dozens of jewels and trinkets, winking in the dull light.
*Carved into the wall at the end of the room is a neat sentence in faded silver lettering.
 	
*Renatus: "Diligence shall...Be...Rewarded?"
*Renatus: What's a phrase from a common prayer doing on a basement wall?
 	
*Renatus eyes the treasure warily, but opens up his leather case all the same.
 	
*Renatus: Well, whatever that means.
*Renatus: Don't think whoever lived here will be needing that advice anymore...
*Renatus: ...Or the coin, for that matter.
 	
*As the last coin disappears into Renatus' leather case, the letters on the wall begin to glow with a soft blue light.
 	
*Renatus: Hmm?
 	
*Renatus: Uh oh.
 	
*Renatus dives to the floor behind a crate, expecting the arcane blast of a magically triggered trap, but no sound came.
*After a long while, the seeker pokes his head up again, and widens his eyes when another gold coin pops out of thin air.
 	
*Renatus: You've got to be kidding me.
*Renatus: Is this room...replenishing itself?
 	
*Checking his journal and his notes, Renatus narrows his eyes suspiciously.
 	
*Renatus: (But...this sort of arcane magic...)
*Renatus: (That's anything BUT legal! Just what was the owner of this place really up to?)
*Renatus: (Oh boy, this is going to be a big scandal when my uncle finds out.)
 	
*His bravado leaving him, Renatus gingerly transports the leather case back to the cavern entrance.
 	
*Renatus: I'll be here for a few more days, at the very least.
*Renatus: We'll know in time if this stuff is really cursed to high heaven...
**tinkle!*
 	
*Renatus: Sigh. No guts, no glory...or gold.
