After our unexpected break, here is a recap from day one, and a fast forward to the present. Just a reminder, the map thread has the overall map of New Gornia, and there is a key for each locale. The map of the keep has notable locations on it, and the detail map of the area around the keep has comments from your cartographer friend, Wilfred.
Your band started your journey venturing from Gornia with the promise of a charter from the King to assist the Duke in exploring and taming the wilds of the newly expanded civilized lands. You set out as caravan escorts toward the wild known as The Borderlands, and met Sharon at a kobold ambush site, defeating the kobolds and making your way to the Keep. Once at the Keep, you made some friends, including a jovial priest named Brother Knute - who joined your party, and Wilfred, an old cartographer employed by the Duke to document the area. He found some interesting locations, and shared them with you (along with his comments) on a detailed map.
You ventured to the prospector camp and met the eccentric leader of the prospectors, Rudy. He didn't have much information to share, but was friendly and welcoming. You ventured on to meet a Dryad whose tree was being accosted by orcs. Killing the orcs you made a new ally of the Dryad, and you continued on to the ruined Keep. The keep apparently had been occupied by a small band of unknown men, and you found the corpse of a severely wounded fighter in his room. Exploring further, you encountered some friendly goats and eventually the only resident of the keep, Curg - an old and apparently dying Ogre. Applying some healing magics to his festering wound, you found Curg to be a surprisingly cordial and wise ogre, and after dining with him, he informed you that he is making his way back to the mountains to die in his ancestral home. He is planning on leaving the keep in the coming day(s). Prior to deciding on your next course of action, you have awoken on a crisp morning and have begun to explore the chapel of the keep - which seems to be in remarkable condition compared to the rest of the place.
And back to the chapel:
