1. Outer Wall and Gates

Outer wall 15’ high, crumbling in places, and covered in vines. Rusted iron gate in the south wall, decorated with peeling motifs of red flames. A burned corpse on a gibbet hangs from an adjacent post. The gate is guarded by 2 Crimson Knights (hp: 15, 13).

• Approaching: The Knights order the party to depart immediately.
• Searching the corpse: Inside one of its burnt boots is a luck coin.
• Attacking the Knights: The 4 patrolling Initiates from Area 2 join the fight in 1d4 rounds.
• Traversing the gate or climbing the wall: Leads to Area 2.
