As you pull back, it's clear that the creature doesn't want to give chase, it simply returns to it's point of origin and resumes looking like a bush. You could give the creature a wide birth, but you sense that either way you go there are hollows prowling.

You start heading back the way you cam, those two hollows still block your path, as you simply rode past them last time. They haven't noticed you yet. There were two hollows potentially blocking the ways around the plant, do you want to face these (and the cluster of hollows you left in the grave yard) or push on and face on of the pairs of hollows that block the way forward?

Rolme another stealth check.

You almost make it past the hollows before crashing into a shrub and drawing their attention. You are about 30 feet from the broken tower and about 40 feet from the hollows.

Charging into the broken tower you see the most glorious sight: A bonfire.

Tut must be with you, as you dive into the tower and light the bonfire.

Bandit Soul: the soul of a bandit of the Ashen Forrest. The desperate settled in these woods to steal from those whose pilgrimage lead the to me the Ashen Tomb. Offer at a bonfire for 150xp or use for trading.

This tower bears the Brocken remains of religious iconography. It seems that the tower was once a temple for pilgrims. It is unclear why the tower has fallen, or what the pilgrims worshipped. From where you stand you cannot see what has become of the room that once stood above you.

The top most rooms are completely trashed, but from what you saw from the outside there should be atleast another floor above you. The toppled segments still have some of their structure so you'll need to pick through wall fragments to explore the remnants of those floors. You can't identify anything from the iconography, but you can discern that the tower is newer then the large square building you saw earlier. It also has a different style of construction to that of the Firekeep. From here the square building and the mound entrance are about equidistant but are in different directions.

Pushing over rubble instead of clbering over it, in what would have been the second or third floor you find a rusted pendant of of some worshipe value. It is emblazoned with two crossed lighting bolts behind a rearing lion. It is unclear to you what the pendant worships, but it is clear that it is sacred. In the toppled floor you see a chest.
