So our heroes have now reached the fifth level of the temple. They hear the sound of moving metals and cogs all while grey slime oozes out over the walls and floors. They find a passageway that leads to a dead end that they search for a secret door to get into a new corridor. They head down and sees words written in blood on the ceiling, "Awaken Napaka". They recall that it is the name of the dead Omuan queen they found on the floor above. They find a statue with three arms asking for jewels that they in their greed won't give. They find a keyhole in one of the reliefs that they use the key they found with the queen. It leads to a crawlway that leads to another room with a gigantic Stone Juggernaut. They search around and find a shelf with a ruby they grab. Freya even climbs atop it and tries to awaken it with their two staffs. As she hit it it crumbles to dust leaving only stone and rubble.
Back to the corridor they try to put the ruby in the hands of the statue, but nothing happens. I kinda wished they actually put three jewels in the hands to see them crushed and the reward is destroyed ruby. The go to the other end of the corridor and finds a room with some compost and greenery. Another room with grey ooze and then they find yet another room with some controls with a blue and red button, a golden star-lever and red and blue dials. The first thing they do is pull the golden lever that begins spewing more ooze into the floor that Hope have to disarm. Then they push and pull the blue controls. They hear rumbling and heads out and see that they are closed off from the rotating rooms.
So they pretty quickly figures out how the rooms work so they start fiddle with the red controls. They turn the dial and suddenly is talked through a telepathic link with an unknown creature. It pretty much warns them from interrupting the arrival of the god of destruction. They push the red button and are locked in for an hour. They head back to the staircase and get to a pier with two boats and a wrench to get a cage into the water. Hope controls the winch while Freya gets in the cage and snaps up three crabs while the voice talks with her. They get out and rows around the lake and gets back to the door than now speaks and asks a riddle that they answer with feeding it with a crab. Now they begin thinking about the rotating room puzzles. They end up with Destinova staying with the controls and speaking with them through the voice that speaks with them. The others head for the middle room and it rotates, releasing poisonous gas in the room and then three shambling mounds awaken and attacks them. It gets intense since the mounds gobbles up our heroes from time to time and Hope is as low as 7 HP after some attacks, but when they begin to fall off it gets easier. Hope a smudge irritated that they had resistance to fire for being walking grass.
After the battle they enter the room at the top, finding a dead body from the company of the yellow banner that carried 6 jewels and a magic sword (which they don't know what it does, since it basically only allow them to speak draconian). We end the session here, No healing yet so we will see if we are as broken as last time.
