Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil: ECL 4 Icelus RACE factotum 1, duskblade 1: Entry 2

Well this week nothing much happened except for the last part of this entry.

We slept A LOT We got disturbed A LOT by random outside animals that managed to find their way inside the dungeonous catacomb temple like thing we are investigating. after around 16 hours of rest and many breakfast in the gnolls room we did some exploring . Arguing about 10 mins as to what to do with the makeshift wall that seemed to block a side hallway.  We ventured down to the crypt which I altogether missed and possibly found the other half of the obelisk on a higher level in the subterranean dungeon(assumption).

Some weird never before found or known(even before my multitude of knowledge education I had) markings color coded with ceremonial instruments that i decided to take a hold of for the party. As we were doing this our half O. friend seemed to have become stiff as a stone(yeah that sounds wrong but i mean who else is reading this , right?) right before one of the big ass bugs, that supposedly spit acid, came out f the ground. Quickly knocked the fuck right back down whence it came from. I decided to haul my new acquaintance around and about the place until the cleric could muster up some spell in a safe place to be able to stop and cure him.  I one handedly carried him upstairs to the new area that was well hidden by 1 or two other chambers before it hooked back up to the destroyed moat house where we decided to rest again for the cleric and hopefully for the health of our big friend.

Sadly enough the foolish ranger had killed the troglodyte , which I had a plan to uncover the mysteries within the organization, but not all minds work like mine. yet still kept his fowl stench in the carriage instead of disposing him some where in the ruins or bushes. (sometimes I can't understand lower intelligence) Anyhow after a good rest and the clerics as well as the mage seemingly passing above and before their regular limitations, felt like tackling the wall downstairs. So they did, with much cautious exploration, we fell into a room where  a nest of a most vile creature(s) laid ,the cockatrice! These are just babies it seems but what I wonder is where are daddy and mommy cock and what other fowl beast infest this part of this evil place where it seemed it was purposely sealed off of the rest of the place. (hopefully no higher power will wish to send OP hordes of devilish cockatrices against  us or crazee ass fiends cough cough)May the Wombat protect this flesh and my mind against whatever follies may befall against them. And that i may bring it honor as I slay whatever horrors come against me in the mighty all knowing wombat's name.
