Grelt Keep Garden
Design
Stepping out through the doors you can see a large sprawling garden, surprisingly well maintained given the state of the rest of the keep. Two paths converge leading to a round path that branches off into the other cardinal directions. A large circular dais sits in the center of the garden raised on to levels. Off to the east is a fountain, still running, and a secluded bench encased in perfectly trimmed shrubs. A large oak stands proud to the west. To the north two plinths stand wither side of the entrance. One with a perfectly in tact statue, the other encased in rubble from a crumbled wall with remnants of the statue scattered across the trimmed grass.
Contents & Furnishings
Statues
They are to do with the hidden treasure. Two identical statures of ladies with their arms raised to the sky: one upright, the other has fallen to the ground and is smashed. The bases of the statue seem to rotate. If the second statue is restored and both are pointed at each other so their arms are raised in an oval the next clue will carve itself into the path:'Suds and soaps and perfumes once flowed into me and were emptied just as quick. Within that lies the trick to continuing the truth. Within me I held a star struck pair for many a night of their tragic love affair.'
Fountain
This corner seems like a wonderful place for lovers to sit and spend their summer days. On a DC 18 perception check or a DC 16 Investigation check you can see initials carved into the stonework of the fountain. R.R and K in a crudely drawn heart. There seems to be a smoother, colder area around the engraving, seemingly worn down by touch.Large Tree
On a DC 18 perception check you find a small gridded gap between the tree and the wall, through which you can see a fire pit and some stone benches, there seems to be another floor under the keep.Dais
The dais is decorated by an inset constellation, at night in the garden it produces a faint red pulsing glow. The constellation is not one most of you recognize (Nature, On a 14 you know this isn't a constellation that exists). On a DC 16 Religion/Arcana check you would recall this shape being quite similar to the symbol of the arch demon, Grug, which anyone without a DC20 Religion check would only know as The Timeless Wait.
