Beorunna's Guardians

Takes place in Beorunna's Well

Ten members of the Black Lion tribe (CE male & female Uthgardt humans) guard the cavern. They include three berserkers, six tribal warriors huddle around the campfire in the northeast corner and are visible in the firelight. The remaining warriors are asleep in their tents. The shaman sleeps under a blanket of snow in the Sunken Grove and can be spotted by any character with a passive WIS(perception) of 20 or higher. The shaman and the warriors awaken to the sound of a loud disturbance. All the tribe members are hostile toward interlopers.

A manticore also calls the cavern home. Having formed a tenuous alliance with the Black Lion tribe, it lairs in the western corner of the room, on a rocky shore next to the spring. The shore is strewn with a humanoid and animal bones--the remains of the manticore's kills. The manticore joins any battle that unfolds in the cavern, eager for its fair share of meat.
