Quillspike — The Thorny Barrow
Dungeon, levels 25–35, 3 heroes, 4 bosses: abilities, loot and drop chances of every boss.
Around the bones of an ancient colossus grows a gargantuan labyrinth of living briar—a dry, dusty, bronze-ochre world of pure thorns. Within its depths nest quillboar who worship a dark root, and packs of wild boars roam the overgrown passages. The air smells of dry grass and blood, and in the deepest hollow, a dark heart-vine beats rhythmically. Hack your way through—the thorns here grow faster than you can cut them.
