The South Temple

An old temple has a chance to be found if the party wanders outside of city bounds at the city of Weiste. The temple is surrounded by ruins, like it used to be part of Weiste. That part of the city was ambushed and destroyed in an uprising, the temple had a protection spell placed upon it, that spell has worn off, which leaves the temple to be in its current state. The structures are located to the south of the Weiste wall. The well outside the temple supplies fresh water to the party, as well as a place to rest

 

As you gaze down the ridge  you see a structure resembling what looks like a place of worship, for which deity, you’re unsure. The building is in ruin, stained glass windows and crystal embellishments decorate the outside walls of the temple. Vines and other plants wind around the cracks and imperfections of each wall. Scattered around the base of the tower, are remnants of other buildings, now resembling small towers and walls. Inside the temple looks as run down and abandoned as its exterior. Positioned at the end of the main hall, is a perfectly preserved altar, with offerings spread across it, in pristine condition. The room contains an aura of magic, as if there is another presence, yet nobody is in sight. 

 

The temple is occupied by a mage under a youth spell. She has medium length black hair, her hands are covered in what looks like soot, bleeding down her arms. As a result of her dark magic, she looks human, yet some of her features appear distorted or abnormal.

 

When performing a successful perception check inside the temple. You can see the altar covered in runes, worshiping a goddess of luck and fertility. The offerings consist of food, crystals, potions, herbs, and other magic items. If the party chooses to loot the altar, then the mage who inhabits the temple will show herself. She will ask the party what their business is at her temple, if they decide to negotiate, she has potential to become an ally to the party. 

If the party chooses to initiate combat

Her combat stats and saving throws

If the party can successfully defeat her, they gain the loot from the altar, bu they must return back to the main city bounds.
