“Professional tomb-robbers fight a sorcerous crusade to recover a priceless holy relic”
A mercenary company - led by an ex-communicated priest - find evidence of the survival of a priceless holy relic left behind in the Holy Land in the previous crusade. Narrowly escaping the clutches of a suspicious inquisitor they contract to a minor lord, they sail to the crusades, storming the beach, and fight their way across country to reach the artifact, nearly losing one of their number to ______. When they reach the artifacts burial place, they find it’s buried beneath a city of pagans, and sealed inside a tomb full of lethal traps.
