The response and support even just over the past day has been overwhelming, glad to see so many people excited to do this again this year. These sorts of things are always very fun to participate in and I can’t wait to see what everyone else is creating.

Area A2: Temple Courtyard

This courtyard was once a lush garden with a beautiful central fountain surrounded by four statues. What was once the fountain now lays broken and dry but the small statue of the three-headed Hecate still lays in the rubble. Surrounding the ruined fountain there are four statue on plinths.

Northeast Statue: This statue depicts a young woman carrying a torch in her left hand. An inscription on the plinth reads “Phosphoros, Dawnbringer” in ancient Eltarian, this can be read with a DC 20 Decipher Script skill check.

Northwest Statue: This statue depicts a blindfolded young man holding bronze tablets in his right hand. An inscription on the plinth reads “Hermes, brother of Sofia” in ancient Eltarian, this can be read with a DC 20 Decipher Script skill check.

Southeast Statue: This statue depicts a young woman holding an open scroll above her head with both hands. An inscription on the plinth reads “Sofia, the Third Face” in ancient Eltarian, this can be read with a DC 20 Decipher Script skill check. Below this statue a humanoid skeleton is slumped against the plinth holding the remains of a torch and a dagger.

Southwest Statue: This statue depicts a young woman in the armor of an old Eltarian foot soldier with a spear in her left hand, a shield strapped to her right arm, and a spatha at her belt. An inscription on the plinth reads “Soteria, the Guardian” in ancient Eltarian, this can be read with a DC 20 Decipher Script skill check.

Door: Good Wooden, Hardness 5, HP 10, Locked DC 20 Open Lock (break DC 15). The lock on this door is a steel bar run through two rings with a 10 inch long combination mechanism that has five disks and an inscription in ancient Eltarian that reads “Holy Sibling” (DC 20 Decipher Script) (answer: Hermes).
