== Overview ==
The Chapel Entrance contains a door to the [[Refectory]] and a hidden hatch to the [[Dank Crypt]].


The '''Chapel Entrance''' is an exterior [[Location]] in the Wilderness of [[Act One]]. It covers the upper section of the [[Overgrown Ruins]]. Four [[Overgrown Ruin Looters|Looters]] have set up base here, and are arguing whether to continue looting, or to check out the [[Nautiloid Wreck]] to the south.

Resolving the situation peacefully will reward 50 [[Experience|XP]] and an [[Inspiration]] for those with the [[Charlatan]] background. Fighting the bandits will grant 70 XP and the opportunity to take all their gear. Triggering the encounter from the balcony with {{CharLink|Warryn}} will not lead to any approval increase no matter which option is chosen. It is necessary to start the encounter from the lower area near {{CharLink|Gimblebock}} and {{CharLink|Taman}}.

== Entering the Overgrown Ruins ==
=== Foundation block ===
A coiled rope holds a foundation block above {{CharLink|Gimblebock}} and {{CharLink|Taman}} near {{Coords|285|350}}. Snapping the rope with a ranged attack will cause the block to fall, dealing {{DamageText|50|Physical}} damage to creatures below it and crashing through the floor into the [[Refectory]]. This creates an entrance into the Refectory that the party can jump into.
 
=== Hidden hatch ===
To the east of the Chapel Ruins is a winding path along the cliffside that leads into the [[Dank Crypt]] at {{Coords|315|365}}. To enter the crypt, a hatch can be opened from outside by passing a {{SkillCheck|Sleight of Hand|20}}.
 
=== Refectory door ===
In the depths of the Chapel Ruins, a locked door leads into the [[Refectory]] at {{Coords|285|375}}. The door can be opened by passing a {{Ability Check|Sleight of Hand|7}} or by convincing the guard behind the door, {{CharLink|Andorn}}, to allow entry. On a successful [[Persuasion]] or [[Intimidation]] check, the party can enter the Refectory, causing Andorn to become hostile and {{Condition inline|Surprised}}. If the party fail to convince Andorn to open the door and enter via lockpicking, Andorn will have exited the area and left a blast mine trap at the entrance. All bandits inside the Refectory will be prepared for combat.

It is necessary to start the encounter from the lower area near Gimblebock Gimblebock and Taman Taman. It is possible to defeat the bandits after convincing them to leave, granting a total of 120 XP.

Entering the Overgrown Ruins[edit | edit source]

Foundation block[edit | edit source]

A coiled rope holds a foundation block above Gimblebock Gimblebock and Taman Taman near X: 285 Y: 350. Snapping the rope with a ranged attack will cause the block to fall, dealing 50Damage TypesPhysical damage to creatures below it and crashing through the floor into the Refectory. This creates an entrance into the Refectory that the party can jump into.

Hidden hatch[edit | edit source]

To the east of the Chapel Ruins is a winding path along the cliffside that leads into the Dank Crypt at X: 315 Y: 365. To enter the crypt, a hatch can be opened from outside by passing a DC 20 Sleight of Hand check.

Refectory door[edit | edit source]

In the depths of the Chapel Ruins, a locked door leads into the Refectory at X: 285 Y: 375. The door can be opened by passing a DC 7 Sleight of Hand check or by convincing the guard behind the door, Andorn Andorn, to allow entry. On a successful Persuasion or Intimidation check, the party can enter the Refectory, causing Andorn to become hostile and Surprised Surprised. If the party fail to convince Andorn to open the door and enter via lockpicking, Andorn will have exited the area and left a blast mine trap at the entrance. All bandits inside the Refectory will be prepared for combat.

Locations[edit | edit source]

Entrance from the Roadside Cliffs[edit | edit source]

The Chapel Entrance, or Overgrown Ruins, as seen from the Roadside Cliffs.

The Chapel Entrance is located on the far east of the Roadside Cliffs, which can be reached via the eastward path from the  Roadside Cliffs Waypoint at X: 222 Y: 326.

Some of the chapel walls still stand, though much of it has collapsed into rubble.

Rooftop terrace[edit | edit source]

Two granite benches overlook the Ravaged Beach on the rooftop terrace by the Chapel Entrance. The terrace is fenced in with a balustrade.

The southern edge of the Chapel Entrance appears to house a former rooftop terrace. Two granite benches overlook the Ravaged Beach to the south. Water pools in the centre of this area, and two patches of Twisting Vines may Entangle Entangle the unwary. A set of stairs to the west of the terrace leads to the Roadside Cliffs while the set of stairs to the east leads to a hatch into the Dank Crypt at X: 315 Y: 365. The stairs to the north lead directly into the chapel.

A buried Wooden Chest can be found next to a granite bench at the south-east corner of the terrace at X: 290 Y: 312.

Chapel ruins[edit | edit source]

The Chapel Ruins, showing the structure of the upper ruin, and looters prepared for an ambush.

The Chapel Ruins are flanked by two higher-level transepts that overlook the nave of the Chapel. Warryn Warryn stands on a crate on the westernmost transept while Quelenna Quelenna patrols the easternmost. Gimblebock Gimblebock and Taman Taman can be found arguing next to a large broken statue about whether to abandon their post to search the Nautiloid Wreck.

Newer wooden construction can be found in the Chapel Ruins. A wooden crane suspends a foundation block above a cracked tile, while a ladder allows easier access to the eastern transept.

In the depths of the Chapel Ruins is a locked door into the Refectory at X: 285 Y: 375. Opening the door requires passing a DC 7 Sleight of Hand check or convincing the guard behind the door, Andorn Andorn, to peacefully allow entry.

Hidden hatch[edit | edit source]

A winding path down the Overgrown Ruins cliffside leads to a locked hatch.

The winding eastward path along the cliffside leads to a hatch entrance into the Dank Crypt at X: 315 Y: 365. Opening the hatch from outside requires passing a DC 20 Sleight of Hand check.

Along the route to the hatch, a buried Wooden Chest can be found at X: 302 Y: 338.

History[edit | edit source]

The exterior of the Overgrown Ruins appears to be remnants of a chapel. Few clues remain as to the patron god, despite the presence of two statues.

Broken statue[edit | edit source]

The broken statue found in the Chapel Entrance of the Overgrown Ruins.

The large, central statue of the Chapel is broken from the upper half of the torso and shoulders upwards. This break is jagged and sloped diagonally, suggesting a natural break that resulted in the collection of rubble by the pedestal. The pedestal itself is hefty and adorned with a heavily worn plaque. Attempting to read the plaque results in the narration: "Time and the elements have left the plaque unreadable." Metal rings are affixed to each side of the pedestal.

Other cracks are visible along the statue. A broken statue piece can be found beneath the eastern transept, which may have been part of its upper half.

Small statue[edit | edit source]

The smaller, fully intact statue found in the Chapel Entrance of the Overgrown Ruins. Potentially a smaller version of the broken statue.

A smaller statue of a robed man with an austere face and thick beard reaches towards the broken statue. Similarities in the shape of the robe and pose suggest that it may be a smaller, intact version of the broken statue.

Broken statue piece[edit | edit source]

A piece of a statue from the shoulders up. Found in an alcove or lower room in the Chapel Entrance of the Overgrown Ruins. Potentially the upper half of the broken statue.

Another piece of a statue from the shoulders up can be found in an alcove beneath the eastern transept. This is potentially the upper half of the broken statue, as it appears similar to the smaller statue and is broken along the shoulders. However, this location is too far from the broken piece to have arrived in the alcove without manipulation. It is unknown why it was moved and by whom.

Alternatively, this piece was part of a third statue that was located on the foundation that the wooden crane rests on. In this case, the piece would have still been moved by an external force into the alcove.

Crane[edit | edit source]

The wooden crane holding the foundation block. Vines along the base and weathering of the wood suggest its age.

Of the more recent constructions around the Chapel Entrance, the wooden crane is notable for suspending a foundation block above a cracked tile.

The crane likely predates the looters, as the wood is weathered and metal rusted. Vines have begun to grow along its base, further suggesting its age.
