— Slave traders, — Odd thought sadly. — Or perhaps just another group of newly arrived explorers of the Temple.

Nebok, what was the strength of the skeletons, if you don't mind sharing?

-Well, let's go. Don't forget about jumping over the slab.
-- Of course, to the Temple, where else? Our scout is probably waiting for us there.

Having jumped over the slab, the mercenaries saw in the wall opposite the entrance, the heads of three dragons with gaping mouths. To the right of the wall was a staircase leading upwards. Ascending, the travelers discovered a room. It contained many shelves with books, several drafting tables, and one writing desk. Opposite the entrance, at the end of the room, on a granite pedestal lay a golden skull, with dark purple stones glittering in its eye sockets. Behind the pedestal stood a skeleton with a two-handed sword, clad in armor. Two identical skeletons stood at the entrance to the room.

It's just a design choice.

Before leaving, Thanasius decided to take one of the skeleton swords with him.
He was going to add that Thanasius tries not to touch the sword directly, but then he remembered that he isn't exactly picking it up with his bare hands; he has gloves on.

If there's dark magic involved, the gloves probably won't help.

Argh, I knew it! Damn, and no one has Purification.

Describe what stopped me before I grabbed the sword!

But is that even possible?

It will turn into a skeleton and attack us.
