Students of Life & Death #28

The Students fought against not just one goliath who had broken into Brynn's childhood bedroom, but them both, named Brick and Brack

• They quickly dispatched Brick and interrogated Brack on why he was there

Brack claimed they'd been sent by Silas to destroy the Rotlead Brynn had brought back from Sinner's Peak in order to maintain Tomolin's need for Silas's presence

Ridley animated Brick's body and sent the two goliaths back to Silas's home in order to draw him out so the Students could get rid of him once and for all

• However, after a while it became clear something went wrong, and when the Students investigated the house, bypassing its traps, they found it empty and a tunnel out of the basement leading into Sinner's Jungle.

The group followed the tunnel and caught up with Brick, Brack, and Silas in the jungle, and overheard Silas sending the goliath, and his undead companion, into the jungle to create a false trail while he escaped.

The goliaths ran off but the group easily caught up to Silas and apprehended him, removing from his person the object they'd seen protruding from his cloak the day prior.

• What they found was a crown with a ring of animals adorning its ring.
