The weather gets much cooler the second night, a refreshing change from the sweltering heat of the previous few days. No clear change is seen from the temple, although occasionally a rumbling voice is barely audible even at this distance by those with the keenest ears. The third night warms again, and it is during the middle watch that  Trent and Verdin notice something out of the ordinary: There is a faint light in the far east held in stark relief from the dark night. Probably only visible from the cave, whomever has gathered around this campfire is unaware of that they are but a day’s walk away from the rather viscious encampment of blackscales and has not taken precautions to hide their camp. Verdin explains that it might be that someone has camped near the old pile of stones, rubble that remains from some long lost humanoid buildings. Unlike the temple in the valley below, this ruined temple appears to have been utterly destroyed during one of the numerous wars that have in years gone by swept through the area. Features of the area suggest a defensible location unless one knows something of the denizens of these parts; the encroaching forest provides too much cover that an invading squad could use to approach unobtrusively. The blackscales had suggested that the poisondusks use it as a base when on far patrol, but he had refused for the aformentioned reasons.Someone, perhaps Trent, brings up that this fire may be the camp of the priest sent by Sur'kil to assist you. If it is Kuma, then they should be warned and directed to assist you. Of course it could be someone else.</blockquote>
