Explore the Ruins: Difference between revisions

The party encounters a group of bandits if the Chapel Entrance is used. Two of them, [[Gimblebock]] and [[Taman]], are arguing over whether they should abandon guarding the crypt ahead in order to explore the fallen Nautiloid ship. If the party approaches the ruins from the platforms up the stairs, then the mage or bowman guarding their respective platform stop them and call over Gimblebock and Taman. Gimblebock believes that the party is trying to loot the ship and tells them to back off.

Successfully passing any skill check results in the bandits simply running off. Otherwise, they start to attack the party. Be wary of the cracked stone, as it can collapse from attacks. Characters who fall into the pit enter deeper into the crypt, where another large group of bandits lurks.

If the party goes through the front door, they encounter [[Andorn]]. Andorn can either be tricked into believing the party is his boss, or intimidated into letting the party through. Regardless, he is hostile once the party enters the crypt. Moving deeper into the crypt, the party encounters a new group of bandits, who are also hostile immediately upon encountering them.

Within the crypt is a strange door with no knob and no lock {{Coords|-178|-322}}. To proceed further, the door must be opened. To enter the passageway, there is a skull that hides a lever {{Coords|-174|-359}}. Press the lever and the door will open. This leads to the Dank Crypt below.

Within the Dank Crypt are the corpses of several Entombed Scribes. Move further north and go down the stairs, then move towards the northwestern section of the main room. There is a button on the wall {{Coords|-299|-233}} that opens up a small room with a sarcophagus. It also resurrects all the entombed scribes, who attack the party.
