So, there I was with my nu chums in some sort of map room. Kelmaa had apparently wandered off. The tin bard did something tricksy with the flashy magic panels. Not sure if I trust that. Whatever it was, it turned on the sun on over the big desert room outside, which was pretty amazeballs. In the hall outside this map room we found a door we couldn’t open and a second door that one of the brown cards opened.

Then, BAM! One of those creepy four-armed dudes jumped us. This one wasn’t so much mummy as it was juju zombie. Things got fighty, but we finally beat the creeper. This room had a table and chairs. There were several drawings of a pickaxe made of bones scratched on the walls like that crazy pickaxe holy symbol we found on the corpse back in the fungus cave. The tin bard got all technical and sez the text next to pickaxes on the wall sez “Shadow” and “Poison” and “Father”. Yeah, no thanks! Creepy god stuff. I’d just as soon move on.

We wandered through a couple more doors and halls with a black card we found in that last room and found a pretty plush room with couches and the like. There was this lit up desk showing pictures of animals and a plant with a crown and whips and something that looks like a smart blood blister. That’s when Jaques the fruity bomber decided to bring the ceiling down. I didn’t see exactly what happened but there was an explosion and injuries. He had a bunch of vials in his knapsack… none labeled, of course. Not that I could read them anyway. Aakpesh to the rescue as the potion guinea pig! I didn’t explode so that must have been the healing grog. Saved Jaques with his good stuff. We gotta put a leash on that boy. Besides the tin bard, my nu chums don’t seem too together.

We found a bloody hallway and, of course, wandered down it. Looks like a running fight happened between something fleshy and one of those metal beasties. We discovered a room full of strange equipment and a weird brain thing. It must have been putting out bad juju because Jacque started talking funny… well, funnier than usual. I apparently dodged that effect. Vayu got spooked and started to run away so, I made it HAMMER TIME! One might smash with Maxwel and the thing died, spraying spores all over the room. Not sure what kind of a lame defense that was. I don’t feel a thing. And no loot. BOO!

Ah, well. Maybe there’s loot in the next room of this crazy maze.
