 They found the Pillar, a black metal obelisk protruding four feet out of the ground. It had faint sigils that occasionally flickered red, overlaid with cracked holy runes and copper conduits, and it gave off a repulsive smoky odor. Those with an understanding of the arcane knew enough to know they wouldn't be able to restore it themselves, and that Drywater would remain undefended for the time being.

 The group had enough time to grab the rest of the displayed regalia (against Lenore's wishes) on their way out, including an eerie lantern seemingly not of dwarven design, which Zasheir picked up -- triggering a Harm spell that very nearly killed him. Somewhat edified by their experience despite having no diamonds to show for their efforts, the party journeyed back to the Arboretum, where Jerbo identified the lantern as a Hellfire Lantern, capable of powering the magical weapon calottes Alliance members had seized months earlier from House Tazrikarn's couriers inside Swikedom.
