We begin our campaign in mid-mission without much background; that will come later. At some point during the last week, one of you was spending some time in Sweet’s Pub having some drinks and overheard some merchants that were passing through Tradeport talking about some ruins that they had passed by on one of their recent travels. Your character eavesdropped the conversation enough to get an idea of where the ruins were. You took that information back to Kern, who consulted his maps of the Thelos Province to locate the area that the merchants described.
Sometime later, your team, plus the 5 member crew of Kern’s Folly, the company spelljammer, pull up to the islands that have the ruins you seek. The ruins seem to be spread among a few small islands but the bulk of them are on the large of the islands. You anchor to that island and disembark to explore the site. You approach what appear to be the remains of an ancient temple, with only the foundation and some crumbling columns remaining. Your resident historians, Norro and Bantu study the relief that is etched into the stone of the foundation and learn that the temple dates back to around the time of the founding of the Church of the Trinity, around 500 years ago, and is an early temple dedicated to the Trinity. However, upon closer examination, the temple appears to be more heavily dedicated to the god Mortalas. You move to the top of the foundation, where a large circular platoform still stands, and Norro and Bantu reveal that the reliefs on that structure suggest that the temple was a place where funerary rites were conducted. They also find that a specific symbol, that which represents the Reapers of Mortalas – spiritual servants that collect the souls from the mortal world and deliver them to the afterlife – are also hidden buttons; 4 altogether. You all decide to push the buttons simultaneously and when you do the circular platform begins to grind and concentric stone rings lower to reveal a staircase going down into darkness.
