Secrets of the Bloodstone Temple

GM: Armor Yote

Date: July 23, 2022

Party: Ashen (Nomadic), Red Sonja (Sudain), Adonis Thetis (RoyalTuscan), Sha'uri (J.P.), Ozymandias (Mad Mike)

Synopsis: A strange temple made of red stone recently has been discovered not far from Quent. In fact only a mile or so away from the town. Everyone familiar with the area is VERY sure it wasn't there before. What is this temple, where did it come from, and what lies within?

Log Entry:

Our party was hired to look into a temple that appeared suddenly. It was not Hogarth or Assyrian style. It looks like it's been here for hundreds of years and appeared out of nowhere but anyone familiar with the area is sure that it wasn't there before. The way the plants sat around it, looks like the 15 feet tall, 25 x 25 temple space seems to have just dropped on top of the area.

When we pushed open the door we were pulled into the Temple by a gust of wind. The door behind us vanishes and there are three skulls on pedestals that are there and speak three sentences. "Blood for the Blood God", "Skulls for the Skull Throne", "Milk for the Cornflakes" The voice though, was that of The Lich from the Skeleton March. They confirmed that this is a game they call "Escape the Temple". He gave us a hint... "These little treasures here are worth something as well but you may find they make your escape a little more difficult."

Adonis picks up the chalice to carry it, Sha-uri picks up the Saphire, and I picked up the Ruby. We cross a small pool of water that had a sign that said "Swim at your own Peril". We approached the center statue and it talks to us, saying it will open the doors with three correct answers.

Tell me what group these are all a part...

• ghost

• king

• horseshoe

• blue

answer: Crabs (Ozymandias)

• caldera

• vent

• lava-flow

answer: Parts of a Volcano (Sadie)

• lace

• bubble

• brain

answer: Types of Coral (Adonis)

With the three correct answers, after Ashen gets his tail burned a bit for a wrong answer,

the doors open. When the doors opened we decided to split the party, with me, Ashen, Red Sonja, and Sha'uri heading towards the door with Ships in Port. Adonis and Ozy head into the room labeled Archer's games. There were two wine bottles with ghost ships inside of them in the room we went into. We defeated two bottled ships that were ghost like constructs that tried to kills us... poorly mind you... before the door opened to a crypt with bones and what looked like coffins.

We ended up in another section of the temple and had to go bowling with skulls, mimic statues in another room, and figure out puzzles until we got to the last room where Ghouls were waiting for us. We seemed to have figured our the Lich's game though because when we made it to the end, the temple disappeared.

Well, at least he's not boring.
