- Cidercade hoodie / black tshirt
- No context quotes, "Dice goblin is pleased." then much later in the night "Dice Goblin is not pleased with the results."
- The Keepers walk down into the abandoned city made of bones. There are sometimes archways made of crossed giant tusks. Every building they look into seems to be residential.
- The road that leads down from the overlook funnels along with all the other roads the center of the settlement to a temple dedicated to both Solinari (good magic) and Nuitari (evil magic). The building is large enough that it would fill a city block, so Niniel does a quick tour around it and there's a second pair of doors on the opposite side with the same symbols.
- Caleb gives the first doorway a look over and doesn't see any traps, and the door is unlocked.
- The group proceeds into the temple.
- There is a hallway inside the door that leads deeper, it has carvings, pictograms of animals and people and other random symbols that don't seem to relate to language.
- The middle of the building is a big amphitheater with another sacrificial table in the middle of the "stage" pit. The table is stained with blood and has claw marks.
- As everyone is looking around, Poetry notices there are two more statues at the top of each side of the seating part of the amphitheater. They are hark, yak, a chameleon, and a ram.
- Soliana ritually casts Detect Magic and watches as Niniel hops over the railing and approaches the table. Once Niniel lands, she looks over and the yak statue is right there now in the "stage" pit. Caleb who had been trying to watch the statues did not see it move.
- The table is emanating conjuration and necromantic magic, but everything seems to be emanating a little bit of conjuration magic.
- Niniel summons her tentacle between herself and the yak statue. Then she cuts her hand and bleeds a little bit on the table, which absorbs her blood.
- The magic does not change with the addition of the blood.
- Niniel takes a step back from the table and bumps directly into the hawk statue.
- Caleb says out loud, "Okay, so you wanted us to come and see. Here we are. I'm not seeing anything that makes these gods worthy of our worship."
- Soliana casts Gift of Alacrity on Caleb quietly while he's talking.
- Caleb again creates a psychic link to a statue again, and he hears, "Lie upon the table. Join our life together."
- Caleb says he doesn't want to die or join them, and the voices say even louder, "Complete the ritual."
- Caleb says aloud, "No."
- The statues all become creatures sort of related to the carvings they represented as stone.
- The hawk becomes a humanoid hawk like creature with hands at the ends of its wings and humanoid legs.
