There’s a quiet lull inside the Temple. A brisk wind brings a chill to the Party’s bones. An Ethereal figure appears, pleading to the Party and their kind hearts. They were once a Monk that resided here, and they inform the Party about a gemstone that was stolen from the Temple when the Pirates attacked. […]

Whether they followed the Party knowingly, or stalked them to the Temple, the Old Monk from town reveals their motives. They were one of the Pirates that ransacked this place. They wanted to remove the curse on the gemstone, and claim the riches for themselves. The Pirate used the Party to help get them here, […]
