Clayquarry

The "Clay quarry" is a self explanatory location in the north west of the Stormlands. Poor people from Kornwall have two jobs to earn money without any education - Working as a farm helper or working in the Clay Quarry. The clay comming from here is used to build the bases of houses in Kornwall or are traded to Twigrest for Pottery work.

Quest: (Optional)

Goal: Gain information from the following locations. Survive the following combat before the information get's destroyed.

The players find a wall made of clay ready to be harvested. Depending on the situation it might be that some people are working on the wall to gain clay for sale in Kornwall. The heroes may find this area themselves or be told, that a clay mine was flooded years ago now called "the Drowners Cave". 20 experienced men disappeared and most likely drowned within the cave. This never happened before, but rumors say, that is was wort hit to dig that deep.

Locations

1. Broken chest on the left cliff, Find a number of Names and space used for pick axes (Investigation Check DC 10): You find out this case was used for at least 20 Pick axes but just one is left. No Pick Axe can be found around the case so they must be carried somewhere else. They also find a list of names: Gregor, Gunther, Philip, Marvin, Hannes, Lerry, John, Christian, Jan, Wulf and others (All male names).
2. The Bull Skeleton, analyse the Gorgon Skeleton (Nature Check DC 12): This was a Gorgon, a metal Bull but it's metal hide was desolved seemingly by the air and the mud. It was stuck here but why would a creature like this even would want to come down here? Aside from that, these beings look very powerfull. It would have been able to escape this trap, so why did it die here?
3. The corpse of Stephan on the cliff, Find the sunken Wedding Ring and find out he was killed by daggers (DC 12: Perception for the ring, Medicine for the wounds): Sunken down in the mud you find a Wedding Ring (50GP). On the insight you find the inscription: "Stephan, my Love". This Corpse has been killed forceful stabs reaching far deeper than a tagger could. It must have been pick axes.
4. The Drowned Cave, remove the rubble and dive into the cave carefully to find that the cave is short and no bodys are in there (3 Checks DC 12): As you dive into the cave you must be carefull not to collaps it. Nothing can befound here but the absence of bodys shows that the legend about the workers dying in the cave is false.
