The Dust of the Forgotten Shrine

Behind a fallen lintel in the ancient ruins, the party finds a narrow offering chamber untouched by looters. The chamber contains no grand treasure, but it preserves the practical remnants of an earlier expedition, devotional coins, a few modest valuables, and several clues pointing toward deeper sealed sections of the ruin. The wealth is appropriate for a second-level party, with most of its value coming from careful appraisal, historical interest, and the possibility that the Serpent-Ward Key still opens something important.
