"Do you want to try it?" Thalen asks
I'm going to say you do.

Gren approaches the seemingly-unguarded back entrance, only to discover that it is, in fact, unguarded. No sentries, no traps, nothing of the sort. The rest of the party soon follows him into the temple.
Your chosen entrance takes you through a large corridor. The interior of the temple is noticeably cooler than the humidity outside. The stone walls are still dilapidated and crumbling, but it's clear that there have been attempts to restore them. It doesn't look like the structure's about to collapse, but nobody would think it was constructed recently. Curiously, every now and then you see a red vein of crystal laced into the stone. The crystal glows faintly, and you think you can hear a slight buzzing emanating from it.
As you move further on, you hear some strange noises from a large room ahead of you. A mixture of low growls and high, manic giggling, as well as the sound of metal smashing against metal, and the occasional grunt of pain.
[sblock=If you speak Abyssal]The noises are actually voices, the speakers almost certainly more gnolls. It sounds like they're going through training exercises, and it sounds like there's a lot of them.[/sblock]
