Areas
-
Village Circle and Goblin Warren
The lowest entrance to the foress cave system is where the goblin and orc living quarters are located. There is an armory near the entrance, a nearby kitchen, and a prison in the back of this section of caves that has been converted into a prison.
There is a goblin warren near the back of the cave that leads to the small bridge. A secret door in the goblin warren leads to the interior ruins of an ancient temple created by the Order of Hospitalers.

Temple ruins (interior)
The secret door in the goblin warren leads to a breach in the temple wall and a tunnel leading uphill to the temple’s fountain chamber. There’s evidence of a battle in the distant past where the Order of Hospitalers defended the fountain chamber against attackers who entered the temple via the same breach we used. A goblin hoard was discovered in a side room.
The fountain chamber contains eight caskets that were used by the Order of Hospitalers in a ritualistic defense of the temple. The chamber contained 2 swords, 2 shields, 2 lutes, and 2 books placed on the caskets.
Scout Group Sling cleansed the temple by completing the ritual.

The Courtyard
Further up the mountainside, above-ground ruins of the temple are evident. A couple outbuildings flank the entrance to a large courtyard. A large set of solid, stone double-doors are the main front entrance to the temple. The large bridge on the eastern portion of the courtyard lead to the Spire.
There is evidence of recurring, unsuccesful efforts to break down the temple doors.

The spire
The spire is at the peak of the mountain. The living quarters for the most powerful members of The White Skull, including Mother Laguna are reported to be here.
