The Keepers of the Glade traveled into Txevu and came accross a gladiator pit presided over by the Champion of the Mastraq. Cesarre accepted his challange to face the Runt and defeated him. Seeing that one of the outsiders had defeated one of their gladiators, the Champion called on the mistress of the pit, Ixt Hsek Syat and both of them attacked us. We defeated them and obtained a strange Polished stone key.
The key fit a lock in the south that seemed to lead to some natural caves or mines. We found the remaining five Vrex religious leaders of the Trusik tribe hiding here. They attacked us and we were forced to kill them but much to our surprise, shades rose from each of thier corpses and fled to the northern part of the caves. The 5 Shades performed a cermony and summoned High Priest Nkosi Bakari, the leader of the Trusik tribe. We had learned that he had optained the key to the chambers of the commander of the lower temple, Zun`Muram Tkarish Zyk. Since Zun`Muram Tkarish Zyk posseses the signet of command to use the statue portals to the upper temple, we needed that key. We confronted the high priest and every time we thought he would be defeated he called on the life force of one of the shades and healed him self back to full health. Once he had used up all the shade's life though he quickly fell before us. Around his neck we found a Jade Inlaid Key.
Our next foray into the Lair of the Elite we will confront the Zin'Muram.
