Tomb of the Withered Watchers

Beneath crumbling archways and collapsed frescoes the party cleared three ghouls from a narrow burial corridor inside an ancient ruin. The undead had been drawn to the scent of preserved offerings and desecrated chapel alcoves. After the fight the adventurers sifted through toppled funerary chests and snapped altarpieces. They found a modest coin hoard and a handful of tradeable gems likely left by long-dead worshippers, along with a couple of practical adventuring items—a healing potion and a healing scroll—useful for a low-level party. Scattered personal effects include a silver-inlaid dagger likely worn by a guard long ago, tattered prayer beads that hint at the cult that once tended this place, and fragments of the sanctum that could interest a scholarly patron. A small reliquary locket, heavy with bad memories, suggests the site still holds secrets; it is best treated as a plot seed rather than immediate treasure. Overall the haul is modest but sensible for a level 2 party exploring ancient ruins and facing low-tier undead.
