Adventurer and mystic, Ambrose DeBerry returned from an archeological expedition to Jerusalem, where he stumbled upon an ancient tomb buried deep within the hills under the city. Inside this tomb, he found a small 3”x 3” box.
The sides of the box are made from some kind of exotic hardwood covered with strange Arabic carvings. Whilst the top and bottom are made from obsidian and pottery. There is no obvious way to open the box. A box such as this was mentioned briefly in the Al Azif, being the box in which the soul of a powerful demon was kept imprisoned.
Possibilities
1 Ambrose DeBerry, in taking the box, awoke the guardian spirit of the tomb of G’Hyr. This amorphous black creature will seek out and kill all those who have touched the box. Once it has recovered the box, it will return the box to the tomb.
2 The box is taken from DeBerry shortly after he has translated the strange writings. The inscription reveals that the box contains a spirit of great evil, and if opened when Xoth is in conjunction with Mercury a great evil will descend. An evil that will last for all of eternity.
3 Ambrose DeBerry has taken away with him, a box containing not the spirit of a powerful demon but instead it holds the sangrail (Holy Grail). This will make the box extremely valuable to those who wish to exploit it for their own ends.
