Seeking an alternate route into the depths of the [[Obsidian Pyramid]], [[the Fishwives]] found a passage leading from the cave of [[the cyclops]] deep underground to an ancient tomb complex. | Seeking an alternate route into the depths of the [[Obsidian Pyramid]], [[the Fishwives]] found a passage leading from the cave of [[the cyclops]] deep underground to an ancient tomb complex. | ||
=== The Diorama Room === | |||
The Fishwives entered the tomb via a room '''[1]''' filled with dioramas depicting various aspects of humanoid and reptile life. A locked door blocked their passage, but [[Ka-Ess]] discovered a key disguised as a shepherd's crook held by one of the figures in a diorama. The door opened onto a hallway with carved niches spaced ten feet apart on the stone walls. At the end of the hall stood two large, bronze doors. | |||
=== [[Kalka-Kylla]], the hermit crab === | |||
Behind the bronze doors lay large room '''[2]''' with a mud-covered floor. Through the gloom, the adventurers could see movement near a rise in the center of the chamber. A large, anxious crayfish repeatedly warned the travelers not to approach. The crayfish described a guardian who would be angered by their presence, but the group paid it no heed. [[Sathul]] approached what appeared to be a spear sticking out of the mud, but which turned out to be the leg of an enormous hermit crab, the guardian Kalka-Kylla. The crab was decidedly unperturbed by their presence, but did describe malevolent beings that inhabited the tomb. | |||
=== The Acid Door === | |||
Entering a hallway off Kalka-Kylla's chamber, the party encountered a stone door '''[3]''' that was covered in what appeared to be acid. They determined this was likely unimportant and moved on. | |||
=== The stone statue and macuahuitl === | |||

Crossing back through the crab room, the Fishwives continued through a room into another hallway '''[4]'''. A large stone statue of a warrior stood on their right. Ka-Ess attempted a nimble leap onto the statue, causing it to crash to the ground. This revealed a passageway previously hidden by the statue. [[Ilabrar]] recovered a magical, obsidian-studded macuahuitl from the warrior statue. | |||
