4. Trescendar Crypts

The elders of the long-gone Tresendar family were once laid to rest in this mausoleum.
Three large stone sarcophagi stand within this dusty crypt, and propped up against each sarcophagus is a human skeleton clad in bits of rusty mail. False columns along the walls are carved in the image of spreading oak trees. The double doors in the southeast corner are sheathed in tarnished copper plate.
The three skeletons are animated and attack any creature that comes within 10 feet of the door leading to area 5 or the door leading to area 6, unless that creature is wearing the scarlet cloak of the Redbrands or speaks the password "Illefam" (the name of an ancient elven nation, which once spread across much of the Sword Coast). The stone lid of each sarcophagus is carved to depict the person entombed within-two human males and one human female, all of noble bearing.  If opened, the tombs contain mostly moldering bones and scraps of clothing, but see the "Treasure" section.
DEVELOPMENTS Fighting in this room alerts the Redbrands in area 5 that trouble is on the way.
TREASURE Amid the bones in each sarcophagus is a platinum signet ring (50 gp).
