OOC, I have no desire to go into that temple at this point. If the (probable) fights there are going to be harder (and I think we have at least 15 of reptile that's going to guarantee that), I don't know if we're prepared to do that yet.
Cut our losses and get out of here for now? He seems to be giving us a pass. If the keelboat is still in place, maybe we can cross the river and take it downstream. I think we need to start talking to the locals about all of this stuff. We need more information.
