Meanwhile, interest in the recently discovered tomb was rapidly gaining momentum.
Just as Sir Jon said, the rumor was spreading fast despite the Order's efforts at keeping the information under tight wraps. But the rumors had a way of slipping through the cracks—and as long as the adventurers smelled even a whiff of money, they would come swarming in like sharks smelling blood.
However, the progress inside the tomb had come to a standstill. After the death of a few more adventurers in the acid traps, the rest of the adventurers refused to enter without any proper defensive gear.
Some returned to Angora City, hoping to be the first ones to purchase acid-resistant leggings from the city's best blacksmiths.
Unfortunately for them, it seemed that the premier armory in the city, owned by the HammerStone company, had coincidentally suffered a shortage of leggings to sell. It was also a coincidence that their affiliated party was already showing signs of preparations to enter the tomb.
