You Better Watch out for Barrow Wights: Russian Warriors Tomb Uncovered

I hope they went into the tomb with silver weapons at the ready because as you know Barrow Wights are immune to normal weapons.

Hidden in a necropolis situated high in the mountains of the Caucasus in Russia, researchers have discovered the grave of a male warrior laid to rest with gold jewelry, iron chain mail and numerous weapons, including a 36-inch (91 centimeters) iron sword set between his legs.

That is just one amazing find among a wealth of ancient treasures dating back more than 2,000 years that scientists have uncovered there.

Among their finds are two bronze helmets, discovered on the surface of the necropolis. One helmet (found in fragments and restored) has relief carvings of curled sheep horns while the other has ridges, zigzags and other odd shapes.

The archeologists were then killed by undead warriors streaming out of the tomb to cut down the luckless researchers. Valentina Mordvintseva, a researcher at the Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences Institute of Archaeology, who barely escaped with her life, was cursed with a wasting sickness by the angry Barrow Wight King. Authorities are contacting a cleric to cast Remove Curse on her but he was out of 3rd level spells for the day.

Here is one of the Barrow Wight Kings treasures taken from the site. I think this Brooch protects one from Magic Missiles but researchers have yet to cast a Legend Lore on the item to be sure:
