This room is constructed of large stone blocks, buttressed in the corners. The walls are wet and slimy, and mud covers most of the walls in a thin coating. the floor is a marshy swamp To the east and west may be seen stone doors recessed in the wall, and to the north a set of stairs leads down.

In the center of the chamber on a Island of sand sits a large polished boulder amid a pile of smaller rounded rocks. The boulder is five feet tall and colored brown with dark streaks and spots. Leaning against it is what appears to be a bamboo staff.

In the mud around the base of the island is a moving shape, looking like a crayfish. It is facing you and seems to be aware of your presence It seems to be defending the Island and its speaking a language unknown to you.

The room is lit by some magical light source

"Anyone understand whatever that thing is saying? Also is that normal for a whatever that thing is to be talking?" Nea points at the crayfish as she question her compainions.

Jayson shakes his head, and raises his hands in a show of nonaggression. Doing his best not to show how creeped out he was by a large talking crayfish.  "No idea, on either count.  Whether its supposed to talk or not, its clearly trying to communicate." 

Giving the creature his full attention, he speaks loudly and slowly, as if it would help the thing understand him better.  "We. Dont. Want. Any. Trouble!"

„Sorry, languages are not so my strong side, i was more into studying craftsmanship.”

I an going to greet the catfish in celestial: ”€&* +#& &s5/ “ 

The Crayfish's eyes cross and it seams to mumble a few arcane words "Can you understand me now?"

"Thank you, this is much better. My name is Bhuraelea, this is Nea, Danitha and Jayson. We are from the nearby city of Elturel. May i ask your name? How come you are here in this temple and how lonf are you already here?" 

"I am Kalee Coco Knight of the NIch Who is this? Who dares to enter the chamber of the guardian? You had better go, or I will have to discharge my sacred duty! And awaken The great and holy Kalka-Kylla, Be off with you before I lose my temper!” The Crayfish comically paces back and forwards  

Do those names ring any memories?

Religion 23 (same for history)

About the size of a draft horse but longer at the tail. Its two front claws are wide enough to grapple a human from its actions it is simply guarding its little world though anti social you might be able to persuade it to let you thru you just have to say the right words, you might even get a little info

Bhuraelea You are not sure about the religion but you think the language is Olman something you read about but not used since before the spell-plague 

You also see movement in the brackish water (stained black from leaves from bushes growing here and there)

Looking at the exits, any indication where they may lead to? If not will just choose a random door to the side and move towards it. “Don’t worry oh mighty Knight Kalee Cocoo, we are already on our way.” 3 (going east (or up on the map), i assume the map is turned 90degrees, because your description is constantly different then what i see on the map)

"Ok, no killing yet I guess," Nea strikes as she goes in that direction pointed out.

(You rolled a nat 20 Bhur on RL perception This is what it would look like if you were facing North like you were sorry about that )

Suddenly the huge stone comes to life hearing the splash it turns around revealing a giant Hermit crab you hear in perfect common

"Who are these people? Why havent you shown your manors Kalee? We haven't had guests in a millennia. Then the female voice says directly to Bhuraelea, I wouldn't stay in the water long sir, The children bite"

I’ll proceed as fast as i can to the east door.

Nea will just walking aruond the center figure keeping an eye on them towards the door incidated by Bhuraelea
