The story

Deep in a dungeon, a coffin of polished stone is slowly emerging from the wall, carved with birds and insects, its lid ajar. Everyone near it feels the urge to climb inside. Those who do find themselves on a crumbling bluff above an endless blackness, before a garden of blue ferns and a solitary stone structure. Something there is guarded by warriors no blade can touch.

A short annex dungeon of ten rooms on three floors for new characters: ghostly sentinels bound to their armour, an offset pair of portcullises, two prisoners who hate each other, four braziers and a sealed vault.
