Quest stages of Explore the Ruins
1. Find a way into the ruins.
1. If you haven't released Shadowheart on board the ship then you will meet her banging on the door of the ruins and when you talk to her this quest will begin.
Shadowheart was trying to get into a building to look for supplies. We should see if there's anything useful in there.
2. Read the Disintegrating Journal.
One of the druids' books mentioned a hidden cache in some abandoned ruins to the south of the grove. We should find a way into these ruins.
3. Another way to start this quest is to go to the upper part of the ruins where you will meet some bandits - Gimblebock (Lv.2) + Warryn (Lv.2) + Quelenna (Lv.2) + Taman (Lv.2).
We met some bandits near some ruins. They've been trying to break into a crypt - with no success. Whatever they're after is probably still inside.

A strange figure emerged from one of the sarcophagi we opened. Seems like he has something to say.

The plaque by the sarcophagus mentioned a 'Guardian of Tombs'. Could it be the strange figure who offered us help?
