Artus:"Certainly, I would not trust them to you."

"Noon is coming, let's have something to eat, then we move on."

Gertrude's stomach growls loudly. "Food is a good idea." 

After eating she'll move with the others along the eastern boarder of the former royal palace towards the south. She nudges Brunella in the side: "You did well in the fight with the frogs. You overcame your fear. I'll always stay side by side with you in battle, sister!" 

"Whatever, you can have em then. I dont care..." Felix will toss it to Artus but when he does he will toss just short making him picking it up off the ground.

As we eat Felix will find food for his new mount.

A hadrosaurus is a herbivore, and there is quite the abundance of vegetation in the lost city.

Gertrude, keeps mulling over the last conversation. Who packed the cubes every time they were in a temple? How could she not have paid attention to that? She stops the group. 

"How many cubes do we have now? And who has them? I think, Felix suggestion is right, we should split them, making sure no one has more than one cube. There are many dangers lurking, we need to be prepared!" 

Artus:"I have two. Inete, you can have one."

Inete, at first, is unsure about having this responsibility, but accepts the cube from Artus when the hesitation has passed.

Later in a very torrid afternoon, the party reaches the umpteenth shrine. A feeling that doesn't quite goes off, of being observed, lingers.

A pair of needlelike columns mark the entrance to a walled ruin. In the courtyard beyond, banyan roots envelop a squat building. The stone doors that seal the entrance are carved with images of snarling bears with long, sharp claws. A plaque above the shrine’s entrance bears a message written in Old Omuan.

Four of those snarling bears with long, sharp claws are lurking nearby the entrance. They observe, for now.

Ooc: are we close enough to read the inscription?

Brunella nods, gratefully. "We will fight and defeat all enemies!" she proclaims proudly.

 The inscription reads: “Obo’laka teaches us to tread warily and stay in the light.”

One of the bear burps.

"hummm, it says we need to stay in the light".
Kurma is casting light on his shield, and look for any reaction from the bears or the temple.

Another bear burps, the shrine does nothing.

Artus:"These are called zorbo. They are quite ferocious, they can reap a plate armour apart. We better stay together."

Oniss looks at the creatures and stats,

"They look disgruntled to me.  Best listen to Artus if they can do as he says."

"Maybe it means we should approach during the day." Felix would like to study them for a moment, he trying to grasp if they are hostile or just tired as they might be nocturnal creatures.

These are notoriously ever-hungry creatures. Likely, they understand they are outnumbered and are waiting for one of the party to be alone to feast on him or her.

"Well I can suggest we stick together on this one. They will likely pick off anyone who trails behind." As Felix is speaking he will grab his remaining rations "All right give me your rations if you got any we haven't really needed them since the jungle has provided most of our food."

Kurma likes felix’s Idea and give him his rations (2x)

Brunella tries to think what she knows of these creatures from the jungle. What do they like to eat? Fresh kills? Or older meat like scavengers? What kind of meat do they eat?

 Brunella knows that zorbos are omnivorous, but they are particularly fond of humanoid flesh.
