Author's Notes:

They live! They defeat Granitor! They get the treasure! Yes, the Captain has defied the odds and reduced the evil rock demon to a cute little evil pebble! And now that they have completed the third and final task of the maze/tunnel/cave-thing they have gained admittance to the treasure room! What could possibly go wrong now? What indeed...

Oops, did my snide remark accidentally give away that it won't just be a simple waltz into the treasure room with three sacks and carrying all the loot out, carefree and perhaps skipping and whistling all the way? That would be too easy! Of course, they did just survive some potentially deadly traps, so they certainly deserve some sort of a "gimmee" at this point. But, in the spirit of Indiana Jones, nothing in a treasure hunt can ever be easy *cue the huge rock* Wait, we already did that. Well, clearly I have nothing particularly useful to say this week. Next week we get to see what the inside of this treasure room looks like! We might even catch a glimpse of some TREASURE, you never know!
