B15. Fairy Ruins

100 feet up the slope of the Faehill the hill quickly levels off to form a circular top. In the middle of the hilltop are the ruins of the former citadel of a fairy lord (see “Background”). The top of the Faehill is surprisingly level. It covers a circular area around 120 feet in diameter. The hilltop is littered with large stones hewn of granite. This must have once been a large structure, easily the size of a large keep. The ruin's stones are now well-weathered and blanketed with lush soft mosses. The moss colors are striking, running from phosphorescent green to pitch black. On the edge of the ruins stands a little domed structure constructed of loose stones. The stone structure belongs to Billy Blurtweed, the Faehill's brownie caretaker. Billy prefers to observe the PCs while invisible or in the form of a deer or hawk. If he takes a dislike to the adventurers, they might hear his disembodied voice gently mocking them, e.g., “Ooh the great adventurers, so strong and brave! I wonder if they know what they're doing?” If Billy reveals himself, he appears as a grim little man with a bulbous nose and patchwork clothing. If the PCs approach the ruins, three giant centipedes will attack. There is nothing of value in the ruins or Billy's lair, and no amount of searching will reveal a way into the mound.
