The heroes killed the ghast. The wave action that periodically spouted into this chamber was a small annoyance. Each stone sarcophagus was stuck closed except for the front most one in the northwest alcove. The heroes could slide this lid aside. Opening the lids of the other sarcophagi was harder. When the heroes opened the lid to the front most one in the northwest alcove, it slid aside with the sound of a grinding millstone. The well-preserved body of a teenage girl lay inside, stringy black hair obscuring the face. Her atrophied limbs were drawn up like folded sticks against her torn school uniform. The heroes noticed that the girl was wearing the ruby ring of the salamander. They also found something startling: the girl was still alive. The ruby salamander ring functioned as a ring of sustenance . The ruby salamander ring of sustenance slipped easily from the girl's thin fingers. The following treasures lay beside mummified remains within the other five sarcophagi: a set of pol...

The heroes then decided to take on the zombies at the public stocks.  The zombies could only reach an opponent next to the bars. Otherwise, they clumsily hurled stones at anyone they detected.  The zombies fought until destroyed. Finally, the heroes put to rest the shadow of Rekkart Cole. The heroes earned great notoriety among the populace of Absalom for dealing with the haunted courthouse. As a result, Drandle Dreng, a Pathfinder Society venture-captain, contacted them to hear their story, and ended up offering them initiation to the Pathfinder Society. The heroes accepted and finished their Pathfinder training. On a hot summer evening, Drandle Drenge welcomed the heroes into his modest Absalom home for an impromptu meeting.
