As you arrive at the site of the ruins, you notice it is in fact some kind of tower. It shows signs of having receive strong impacts which broke apart its structure. Part of the tower lays in the ground, wrecked and taken over by the wilderness.
You decide to enter the tower. The place seems completely ransacked. Your people look around the entire place, to check for anything that could aid in your journey.
"Hey, there's a trap door in here!", says Nacyr.
"How did you find it?"
"There is a tine hole, and the planks align here. Look!"
"Yeah, let's open it."
You stick a fishing hook on the hole and pull. The trapdoor opens! A heinous stench comes from down under.
"Eew! They must have stored food in here."
You descend the stairs and confirm the suspicions. There is a lot of scattered remains of once was food strewn all over the place.
But there is a staircase going down!
You descend the staircase with a small group. The room is flooded. Within you can find a bloated corpse floating. Strangely enough, you hear some crackles when you disturb the water.
Suddenly the corpse seems to come to life and lunges! But then you hear the crackle again, as it hits its head against an invisible barrier.
It then starts laughing and then speaking nonstop in a language you don't understand.
"Whatahell is that thing?", asks Ceryn.
"To have survived this long in here, must be some kind of demon or undead. It is probably trying to convince us to free it somehow."
