When the party first arrives at the island, they come across an adventuring party hired by [[Cash]] and [[Carrie]] from [[Baccarat]] who have hired them to avenge their father Golding's death at the hands of the evil jester [[Dhoulmagus]]. However, Dhoulmagus has sealed away the entrance to the ruins with a barrier of darkness, leaving both groups out of luck. | When the party first arrives at the island, they come across an adventuring party hired by [[Cash]] and [[Carrie]] from [[Baccarat]] who have hired them to avenge their father Golding's death at the hands of the evil jester [[Dhoulmagus]].

The Dark Ruins contain [[lost soul]]s and [[firespirit]]s, long-dead members of Rhapthorne's cult who thrill at the prospect of his return. | |||
===First Spirit=== | |||
"Ohhhh! Ooooh! The aura of darkness is no more! The legacy of so many years, destroyed! This shrine was built in anticipation of the revival of our beloved leader, Rhapthorne. The aura of darkness was its protection from the evil heretics. The infidels have broken through the dark aura! They must be preparing to attack us...!" | |||
- The [[lost soul]] in the foyer, near the [[Cameron's Codex|Embodiment of Bane]] statue. | |||
===Second Spirit=== | |||
"Ohhhh! Ooooh! I felt it! For the first time in what seems like an eternity, I felt the power of Rhapthorne near me! But my lack of physical form prevents me from seeing the Lord of Darkness. Could it really have been him!? Could he have returned to us?" | |||
- The [[firespirit]] just before the labyrinth | |||
===Third Spirit=== | |||
"Behold the mural, oh beings of flesh and blood! Behold the magnificent image of Lord Rhapthorne, locked in his titanic struggle to bring darkness to the world! Long ago, he created the World of Darkness, by filling the ground with the bodies of those who falied to obey him." | |||
- The [[firespirit]] in the same room as the [[Cameron's Codex|Mural of Malevolence]] | |||
===Fourth Spirit=== | |||
"Woooh! Woooh! Inside lies the holy altar of darkness. The dais built in honour of our great Lord. Only those who have struck the wings of Empyrea, the hateful bird depicted on the wall, are permitted to approach the Lord of Darkness. But we spirits have lost all physical substance. I cannot hope to move the demon statues. Oh, what a cruel fate!" | |||
- The [[firespirit]] in the same room as the [[Cameron's Codex|Unsettling Unsettled Statues]] | |||
