I don't think i can use the silvered hammers, but we should take them. Does S&W have a lot of silver only monsters?

As I recall, just the usual undead suspects.

Schmidt is able to secure the rope and with all of you helping, is able to topple the altar [d6=1], which cracks in half as it slams to the floor. Schmidt and Berthold feel a sense of relief - the unease is gone.

Nicely done! Where to?

From delve #8, all on level 2

Two ruby eyes from skeleton skull

Four silvered hammers

Sack with jewelry in hidden compartment in altar

He will also loot the head cleric and take the ruby eyes and scimitar, which may be magical. The rubies you are familiar with from your run-in with the skeletons in the previous delve. The head cleric's hammer has similar silver tracings on it as the acolytes, and he carries a scroll of several spe...

He searches said acolytes, looting them but also looking for keys for the cell. One of the acolytes has a key on his belt, and both have silver tracings on their hammers which might be valuable. Fair point , Tholdy, Salty chuckles. Let's take a peek at the old by. He pulls his picks, checks the doo...

Does the altar still make us uneasy?

Yes.
