If it is being searched already, THEN I will go to the Crypt. Dracobolt's (character) should be able to talk the crypt key out of Cep, and then I'll be able to unlock it...
IF 44C is searched AND we do not have the Crypt key, I will instead Interview Dimfred the Slowbro, who has a mission for us.
(Since 44c was already searched and Dimfred was interviewed, I'm taking this as the action to unlock the Crypt)
At night, you head toward the graveyard with the Crypt Key clenched within your claw. After several days of the graveyard still not being purified despite all the costly efforts that were made, you want to get to the bottom of it and find out what really still lurks in that crypt and why it has this dark influence that retains its hold here. But you know for certain whatever it is... it was definitely well-hidden within the shadows of darkness.
After making your way past the headstones and plaques, you come to the crypt and use the key that was retrieved from Cephillu. As you were expecting, the old key slides into the keyhole, and with a turn, the lock disengaged with a heavy metallic clunking sound.
{Underground Crypt: Crypt Slot}
You open the crypt door, and in the darkness, you feel an unsettling, cold presence. Carefully, you make your way inside, using the little amount of dim light that is available to search just what might be causing so much infernal presence here.
Most of the crypt seems to be in order and the dead rest here undisturbed save for the dark presence surrounding the area, but there's something here that stands out obviously. In the back of the crypt, you find what looks to be a body, and upon closer inspection, it's a dead body that has been horribly incinerated. Using your technical skill, you do a further in-depth analysis regarding the cause of death and possible identity of the victim.
{Kangaskhan Body: <Medicine> / <Technical>}
It takes you some time to realize this is the body of a Kangaskahn, but the skeletal structure and what little that does remain points to that conclusion. And from your analysis, you can also conclude that this Kangaskahn victim suffered a lot of blunt force trauma. Fractured and broken bones, along with signs of pitting, point to the conclusive that this victim suffered from tumbling off of a cliff. Damage like this would only connect with the kind that would be suffered from slamming into rocks and jagged cliff edges.
But something seems horribly wrong here, however.
Within the body, you sense something was missed before the remains were placed here. Hidden deep in the chest of this burnt body, you sense there was something that was overlooked, using the charred innards of the victim as a hidden burial spot. Reaching inside with your claw, you dig through the burned remains, and you feel something... solid. And absolutely radiating with evil unlike anything you've sensed before. When you pull it out, you behold a very dark metallic and cylindrical vessel with multiple Abyssal seals and sigils all over it.
This object is clearly... not of this world, but you can sense that it seems to have an anchored effect on the plane around it.
[Gravemeld's Phylactery] has been obtained and added to the Team Inventory.
This, you are certain without a doubt, is the source of the darkness still creeping into the graveyard. You take it with you, not sure what it is for or how it is connected to Gravemeld, but you can sense Gravemeld was not expecting this to be found and taken.
You then leave the crypt, and head back to base... not sure what it means, but at the same time... suddenly you feel like you're not alone and that something now watches you, and the feeling is unsettling...
