Thunderstone

Thunderstone/Donnerstein. A steep rocky hill in the middle of a wast grassy plane. Six tall stones with ruinic carvings stand in a perfect circle 20 feet in diameter. Stone stairs lead up to this platform. The ruinic stones seem to be crackling with energy and by climbing up the stairs some clouds seem to begin to cover the sun. The wind starts rising ever so suttle and bring sithit the smell of fresh rain.

Quest: The Old Minotaur (Lvl 3)

The ground within the stones shows rash foodsteps of different individuals, showing powerfull movements. In the middle there sit's a old Minotaur with it's white turned fur, no clothing excepts for primitive leather shorts and glowing bandages around his arms. As the heroes approach his meditating state ends before challenging one of the heroes to a Duel of the sky for the honor of the cloud horde. He does not own much so he offers his Iron Arm Bandages. The old Minotaur suffers from his age but still has some power left in him. By talking to him it becomes clear that he searches for an honorable death for his soul to be worthy to rise to the clouds, becoming one with the Cloud Horde. "I seek a honorable death and search for one who can give it to me. After what happened this might be my last chance".
