Gods help us, we're trapped.

Trapped in some small chamber
deep within the temple - we
ran, Gods know we ran.
My
magics of concealment should
hide Kinopio and myself from
the searches of the cursed
lizards for a while.

I get ahead of myself, it is
unlike me to be irrational.
I
shall recount the events.
The main temple door led into
a deserted courtyard, absent
of all sound except the
incessant chirp of crickets in
the plants that sprouted from
most of the temple's oddly
regular sandstone buildings.

As our party stood in the
centre of this courtyard, the
huge wooden doors through
which we came slammed shut.
I don't know how, but they
were on us instantly - jumping
out of windows and bushes,
pouring from doors and
alcoves, even dropping out of
the trees.
I've never seen
such an attack, I pray that I
never do again.

It was all that I could do to
protect Kinopio and myself
with my enchantments - many of
the lizards fell to us but
their numbers were..
overwhelming, without end.

They have been breeding in
incredible quantity.

We found ourselves separated
from the juniors - fleeing for
a door that led along
countless corridors into the
temple depths.
Here we remain
- for how long I cannot say.
Day 1
Our tiny room appears to have
been used as a storage area,
there are many materials here.
Perhaps some will come in
useful in our escape.


My wards of protection are
about the room, it should
remain soundproof for some
time.
The door looks strong.
We both need rest.
Day 2
Within the mounds of jumble, I
found a strange ore.
It seems
local to this area's geology -
and has fascinating
properties.


Using my firestaff as a
makeshift forge, I found that
two lumps of this ore could be
enchanted with a vial of
distilled mana - interesting.
Day 3
Kinopio is keeping me awake
with his nightmares.


Thankfully, we appear to be
undiscovered.
I hear female
screams after dark.
