Sessie 11 - Uktar 10 (Day 26)

After resting, the party prepares to attack the temple's statue and summoned defenders. As soon as the first blow is struck against the statue, the floor drops down into the lava and the statue itself animates, breathing poisonous fumes at the party's warriors. The party has forseen this and takes to the air. Moments later, magic starts to fail as the party is harrassed by the dispelling attacks of elementals hidden within the lava. The party is pressed and more than once it's a close call or one of their number would have pummeled into the fiery liquid. But Carolus and Wilfred can destroy the statue. As soon as its remains sink beneath the lava, the floor rises anew above the lava and another section shows the way out through the temple. The party rushes out, slaying at least one of the elementals before leaving the temple behind them.
