The Dig

An archeological site in the Amorgus Swamps run by House Ditta.

It might have been an ancient temple complex. A number of statues of tall, slender beings with almost no ears, long fingers, and deep sunken eyes can be found around the area.

Event

Semi-translucent, floating orbs about a foot across came out of the complex and killed most of the people there, using a never before seen kind of magic.

A woman, a wizard or sage, you think, covered in blood grabs your arm in a death grip and speaks, coughing blood; “we didn’t know, they are still here, you have to warn…” and dies.

Everyone but the protagonists died during the attack with the exception of one man: "Red". Together they started a trek back to civilisation.
