(G46 - BG 03/04/09)

After all that excitement I went over to look at the opened door and got hit by something
small and electrical in the chest.
Nobby sensed something swooping by and cast a Dispel Magic spell thinking it might be
something invisible.
Next Eriss cast Burning Hands and that was pretty much the end of whatever it was. I summoned
a Dire Bat but it wasn't needed as they all gathered round to stomp the thing into jam.

Eriss said it was some kind of fey creature, which was a shame.

Anyway, the next room had a raised plinth with a grisly nest on it. Snooping about in the
bones and debris we found a few squares of stone carved with runes. They seemed to have
something to do with the pattern on the other door in the room.

After about an hour or so, and with the aid of Urol, we deciphered the runes and organised
them on the door, making it click open.

Inside we found what Urol described as the 'Well of Death'. It was pretty deep, with niches
all the way down it and water at the bottom. I turned into a baboon to search the niches and
brought back all the treasure that I found which included a gold bat and a white wood wand
with a feather on the end that I dubbed the 'tickling stick'.

The lights had all run out by this stage so we went out for a spot of lunch. Myself and a few
others gathered some food and Retzal roasted the basilisk. I tried some but it didn't taste
that great.

After lunch, there was still one more tunnel to explore, so against my better judgement we
took a look in, pushing Shifty down its gloomy depths.
We discovered a statue and then a room that contained a rather nasty looking pit.
Suddenly a monster that was all eyes and mouths leapt out and attacked us!

But it was soon dispatched, by a viscous tail slap from my summoned crocodile and a burning
hands from Eris.

We searched this chamber for treasure then headed out again. It looked like this was the end
of our little foray into Tamoachan.

As we reached daylight again, blinking in the sun, I saw that Retzal seemed really down and
grumpy. I don't know what it was that was vexing him though, but he had been very reticent
since we had puzzled out the runes for the door.
