The Borun Ruins are located south-west of Arcastle in Arden. It is an old abandoned fortress from many years ago, it's creator's name lost and forgotten by time. Not a lot is left, except for a few rooms and a tower. Cobwebs are scattered around the place plentifully.
Rooms
Tower
From the tower, Wolf can see some smoke an a hut of his vision in the distance.
Hall
This hall, with only parts of the roof remaining, used to host great feasts and parties. Not much is left, except for a worn out statue of a giant bull. They can't detect any magic on it. When the players want to leave the hall, the bull transforms into a Gorgon (mm 171) that charges them.
Kitchen
This old room has a complete roof, providing the best shelter for anyone who has to spend the night here. Animal bones are scattered on the floor. 4 giant spiders waiting there for some easy pray.
Library
The library has long been abandoned, with all the books long gone. However, with a good investigation roll, one can find a trap door behind the remains of the fire place, where a small box contains the following:
- 28 gp
- 440 sp
- 8 ep
- 1 silver necklace
- 2 ruby
- wooden statue of a cat
Behind the box is a Sword of Vengeance (needs Attunement)
Shaman
A Half-orc shaman female with worn out clothes calling herself "Shakka" (nasal voice) is waiting for the party. She says "The animals are very upset. The balance has been disturbed."
She looks into her crystal ball and says "Great imbalance causes great chaos. The imbalance controls them, corrupts them. They will burn everything to the ground, kill every man, woman and child, and if there is no one left, they will kill themselves, until the balance is restored."
"All shall burnt. All shall be ash. All shall perish. All shall be destroyed."
Her crystal ball will crack, release a heavy mist in the tent, and Shakka will disappear.
