AREA 6E - EASTERN SECRET ROOM

Not even sure if my map has letters, but **** it, too tired. Sorry. Here.

A large statue of a coiled serpent dominates this web-filled room. Clutched in the statue’s jaws is a stone cube.

Kira does the mage hand thing again and then tells Crispy to take a break, we can wait another day for our game while you keep yourself from collapse.

The cube is real!! You have passed the shrine's challenge and collected another cube! Go ahead and level up! And..after today..I will sleep for a day haha.

When you return back to the mainland, Kitsune is there to greet you with open arms, and immediately stuffs your bellies full of scrumdiddlyumptious food that she prepared while trying to stave off the boredom while waiting for your return.  For some strange reason, she appears to be a little wiser (perhaps Zyn noticed that when taking a peek at her character sheet under her robes again...).

Leas e pci ka new location i'm going to bed. for a day.

OOC: I vote for 9, but we’d definitely have to watch out for the t-rex

AREA 9 - ADVENTURERS CAMP

Amid the ruins is an abandoned campsite. Torn backpacks and rotted gear litter the ground around the three moldering tents. At the center of the camp, a scrap of dirty yellow cloth hangs from a crude wooden flagpole.

There is a piece of parchment on the floor. This is what it says:

Astra places the note in his travel journal before looking through Faust’s eyes to see if he could get a view of where the King was.

Perception: 12

AREA 10 - I'JIN'S SHRINE

Cracked monoliths flank the entrance to this ruin. Saw-edged ferns grow in the courtyard between broken flagstones. A pair of stone doors provide entry to a large, flat-roofed ruin. Sculptural reliefs decorate the doors of this shrine. The carvings show a horned rabbit charging a small, feral-looking bear with sharp claws. A cuneiform message is etched above the doors. Orvex reads the cuneiform. "The message written in Old Omuan reads “I’jin teaches us to take the path least expected.” This makes sense. I’jin taught her followers to live unpredictable lives, always changing course and never sticking to a plan. We would do well to heed her message inside the shrine."

Smaller inscriptions hidden underneath the carvings tell the story of how I’jin (an almiraj) earned the ire of Obo’laka (a zorbo) by spoiling a stew prepared for the god Ubtao.

"Mmmmm." says Zyn. "Stew."

As you approach the shrine to the open doors, a ten-foot-wide hallway strikes off into the gloom. Carved tiles depicting various beasts decorate the hallway floor.

Thirty-two tiles cover a 20-foot-long, 10-foot-wide stretch of the hallway. Each tile is 5 feet square, and the tiles are arranged in eight rows of four. The beasts depicted on the tiles are almiraj, dragonflies, eagles, giraffes, monkeys, tigers, warthogs, and zebras.

Asha will very carefully step on the almiraj tile.

You gain 16 temp HP.

Asha will jump over to the other Almiraj.

With a loud THP THP THP, you trigger a trap when you step on the tile floor.

Darts Attack: 17 Damage: 4
Darts Attack: 24 Damage: 9
Darts Attack: 16 Damage: 10

Luckily, they most likely bounce off your armor.

Astra is startled when Asha triggers the trap, ready to use a spell on her if need be, but relaxes when the darts mostly bounce off her armor. "Try another animal...?"

Asha cautiously steps on the dragonfly tile.

The tile is safe. Nothing happens.

"I think that you're not supposed to step on the same tile twice!" Asha will step onto the monkey tile, then the zebra tile, then the tiger tile, then the giraffe tile, before going onto the eagle tile.

Bingo you are safely across. Well done!

"All right. I think that if the rest of you do what I did, you can make it over."
