[QUOTE="Archon Basileus, post: 7401553, member: 6855545"] An annoyed owl and a heart-broken nymph later, the heroes are taken to the old center, a once thriving set of streets and houses, now abandoned to the hazardous invasion of nature. Trees sprout through collapsed roofs, while roots reveal now purified sewer paths here and there;grass blades swallow stones as vines climb through old walls. Nature made haste to retake the lands once occupied by men. And it's clearly not alone: as they traverse the area, the heroes have the uncanny feeling of being watched. Towering above the forsworn city, the old castle rests in a similar state. From it, though, an impressive oak rises, rivaling the heights of the proudest towers up above. The gates to the inner area are twisted and ruined, the wood crushed by thick branches, and the bars bent open by inhuman strength. As the heroes cross the entrance, they see owls bunching here and there, passively observing their steps. At this time of the day, their concentration is somewhat alarming. Still, they watch with apparent indifference. Amidst the many samples of flora, sediments and leftovers suggest a sum of many rituals. The very air around the heroes seem to be distinct, as if to demand solemn respect. Fruits, blood, ashes, flowers, candles, perfumes, oils, all seem to mix up around groves and upon stones. Small animals make a fuss here and there, finding their way through the cracks in the walls, clearly moving deep within the earth. Around a few areas, remnants of old sacrifices can be found. Mostly bones and various dust gatherings over improvised altars. In the center of the patio, the statue of a horned goddess rises. In front of it, most of the sacrificial marks are placed. In fact, many offerings are still there, laying over a stone slab: fruits split in half, honey, wine, herbs... A pyre still burns, right in front of it, probably on its way to die out. In front of it, several bones are sprung out, including... a skull!? Maybe the siege of an ancestor, or the prize of a humanoid hunt. Beyond, the castle doors are obliterated by a series of vines and branches, preventing passage, but allowing someone to peek through. Above, barbican's windows follow the very same pattern.
