"Maybe you should put some shorts on if you wanna keep fighting evil today..."

30 January 2008-

After recovering from the dog attacks, we set off to try and figure out a little more about the temple we discovered. A little examination found that the weird statue in the center could be moved (actualy, it was the pedestal which moved, but so what), and that revealed a steep staircase into the underground. We all descended, including the centaur, once she used her shape-changing bracelet again. It was then that we discovered another little quirk of the doodad- it doesn't alter your clothing. Centaurs have no nudity taboos, of course, but the more lecherous characters found her new circumstances to be... distracting, so she switched back once we got down the stairs, and we all rested for a few minutes while we took in our new surroundings.

Our new surroundings included a number of surprised-looking statues, all of which appeared to be stored in the large room at the base of the stairs. There was also the original statue from the pedestal upstairs, who was a goddess of courage and fortune- touching her gave all of us additional courage to face whatever we're going to be up against.

We advanced through the room and into a room with a floor full of grasping vines and ants, which we neatly avoided by liberal uses of flying/floating magic. Through that room was a hallway, where we encountered a whirlwind that covered us with glitter, but seemed to do nothing else (not that we believe that for even a moment). We then found another hall of cells, several of which had booby traps and "prizes" of sorts in them, and where we found a less pleasant discovery- all of us appear to be dead, with rigor mortis-like symptoms starting to become apparent (actually, what's really odd is that Craig had just been quoting from an old zombie movie about the guy who's told to "Shut up if you love this job!" and to which he replies "Love this job?! I'm dead!"). We'll just have to hope that we get better.

We pressed on with a greater sense of urgency, and discovered a large toture chamber, compete with bleachers for the audience (ick!). We entered cautiously, but as luck would have it, the door slammed shut and three doors opened in the chamber, out of which advanced several horrors which appear to be corpse-golems or something equally unpleasant. If we survive, we're definitiely going to need a shower.
