 "Leave him here? So he can shoot Oniss again with his bow?" asks Brunella.

"We are losing time here..."

"My friend, take time to reconsider. Felix idea is, I think, very good. Can I suggest you to come with us, and fight by our side against Golems, Yuan-tis and Red Wizards? We will sing songs about you if you die during this journey. And I can promise you, we won't interfere. No healing"

Bag of Nails: " These golems, where are they? Let's go there, I say (whispering to himself) A rhyme I did. YES! "

" I like this...see everybody is happy. Should we move to the shrine ?"

Without telling the others Gertrude stores the poison in her backpack and collects the other gear as well. Then she waits for the others to come out to continue towards the golems. 

"Well let's get going then..."

The party finds its way to the Shagambi's Shrine. A light rain starts to come down.

As expected the shrine is there where you left it. What is unexpected is finding Zagmira beside the open pedestal. The statues of the Omuan warriors now hold the spears used previously by the golem in the pit below.

Zagmira: "Always a pleasure to encounter you. However, you must come to the realization that you waste too much time." A laugh follows.

Brunella nods, but keeps a careful eye on the assassin.

Without hesitation, Kurma cast sacred flame to see if it is a illusion or if she is real

The flame passes through her harmlessly. While she yawns, Kurma understands that it is just a projection.

"Great...see this is why you all should listen..." Ignoring the projection "We should have went to the entrance and waited to strike them and the yuanti... now we have to back track..."

"Nothing has changed.  We knew the wizards had cubes and the yuan-ti already as well.  We will still have to get the other cubes, now whether we try to take from both of them or let them fight it out and secure the cubes from the victor?"

Brunella thinks for a moment. "Is there a way we can lure the golems out to fight one at a time? They hit very hard, and even Gertrude or myself would die quickly from repeated blows in the small arena."

"They have the cube what's the point! Let's just head to the entrance. By the time we had back to the lava shrine and carry that log of a tree, they would have grab that one too..."

"Yes, let's try to move that tree. Also, if someone has anything to calm down Brunella, that'd be helpful!"

After a couple of hours of hard work, dragging the tree from the river to the column of rock where the last shrine lies, the party is finally able to get over the lava safely.

Palm trees grow in front of this squat building, and worn steps ascend to an archway that forms the entrance. Reliefs of coiled serpents flank the entrance.

Four jaculi wanders around the entrance but Dragonbait scares them off.

Gertrude gives Brunella her hand to cross the lava over the tree. Then Gertrude walks up to the entrance. She looks at the reliefs and also the floor to get clues if anyone has been here recently and what possible dangers await them inside. [investigation 11]

Seeing Gertrude doing a poor job "What are you doing... jeez you suck let a professional look." Felix will investigate for traps and look for hidden entrances.

Investigation: 23

Perception: 24

Kurma would have use a rope to secure everybody when crossing. When arriving close to the shrine, he casts Detect Magic (Ritual)

Brunella trembles again like a small child, and initially refuses to cross the lava river. With a lot of coaxing, she eventually takes Gertrude's hand, squeezing it extremely hard as she takes step by slow step over the burning river below. She finally crosses, and doesn't let go of Gertrude's hand until she is well away from the shore. At this point, the mighty Goliath's hand is white from lack of blood flow.
