Creature banks[]

Name Image Description
Aging Junk AgingJunkH5 Showing the ravages of time, this "junk" is dangerously close to living up to its name. Some treasure may be found here once per game, but be ready to fight with the guards.
Blood Temple BloodTempleH5 The secret place where Witches conceal their loot. These bloody treasures must be guarded well.
Crypt CryptH5 Undead warriors haunt this ancient crypt. You must defeat them to get their treasures.
Decrepit Galley DecrepitGalleyH5 Mishandled by time -- and perhaps an incompetent captain -- there may be treasure within, but you must fight with the guards to get it.
Dragon Utopia DragonUtopiaV For centuries these ancient ruins were inhabited by dragons. Drive them out and get their treasures if you are brave enough... but be sure the dragons will return one day.
Dwarven Treasury DwarvenTreasuryH5 Dwarves surely have stocked a lot of gold and precious gems inside, not to mention some mighty dwarven taskforce to guard the treasure.
Elemental Stockpile ElementalStockpileH5 You stand before an Elemental Stockpile, where sturdy sentinels guard the treasures within. Do you wish to fight them to see what lies inside?
Gargoyle Stonevault GargoyleStonevaultH5 A strange symmetrical structure made of dark stone, looking like a tall gothic tower guarded by gargoyles sitting upon the stone columns.
Pyramid Pyramid V Iron and Steel Golems guard this ancient pyramid. They say that a mighty spell lies hidden within the walls.
Sunken Temple SunkenTempleH5 Eons ago, this building was a glorious temple. Now its crumbled ruins lay fast asleep at the bottom of the ocean floor, where even the sun can no longer find a footing. But the peaceful silence around it is not a guarantee of safety. And no adventurer should never enter it alone.
Treant Thicket TreantThicketH5 Dangerous-looking thicket of treant-like trees. This is definitely a place travellers should avoid stepping into, though the most imprudent, unfortunately, already have - their skulls hang on the branches protruding from within the thicket, their gold lying deep in the mouth-like cavity, serving as bait for others.
Vault of the Mages VaultOfTheMagesH5 Defeat the guards to get the treasures inside.
Weatherbeaten Galleon WeatherbeatenGalleonH5 So badly aged is this ship that it is difficult to tell what it once was, perhaps it most resembles a galleon. This beaten and weathered ship may hold something of value, but be ready to fight with the guards.
Wrecked Galleon WreckedGalleonH5 Here lie the broken ribs and rusting cannons of a galleon. Once a proud ship of war, it is now but a ruined hulk. Some treasure can be found here once per game, but be ready to fight with the guards.
Wrecked Galley WreckedGalleyH5 This was once a galley, a ship of commerce that plied its trade across the seas of Ashan. Now it is but a ruined wreck. Some treasure can be found here once per game, but be ready to fight with the guards.
Wrecked Junk WreckedJunkH5 This was a colorful coastal trader, buying and selling all manner of goods along the coasts. Grounded and scuttled, it may still retain some goods of value but you must fight the guards to claim it.
