Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gospog" data-source="post: 686404" data-attributes="member: 2348">The Ziggurat of Terror!The Ziggurat of Terror loomed before them.  It's entrance was, of course, shaped like a human skull and the heroes were forced to walk into its' mouth to enter.  The walked cautiously through a short entrance hall.  The entranceway is decorated in carvings of people worshipping the sun and feathered serpents.  Other carvings show people being thrown down the sides of the ziggurat, and others having their hearts torn out. (not in that order, though)The hall ends at a pair of what were giant bronze doors.    They have clearly been blasted open.  Jericho Clinton kneels by the wreckage  and holds something up for the rest of the group to see.JERICHO: Dynamite.  Just inside the former doors, they make a grisly discovery.  One of the Legion of Dead Men was caught in the blast.  Even in death, his skin and organs are transparent.  The heroes gaze down on a skeleton.  A skeleton covered in blood!Suddenly, the stunned silence is broken by the sound of booted feet running towards them...from inside the temple!  Instinct honed in countless battles takes over, and everyone takes cover, drawing their weapons. Five members of the Legion of Dead Men come screaming down the hall...literally!  They are clearly running from something.  Their weapons have been discarded and they are not even looking where they are going, each man keeping one eye over his shoulder, open wide in fear.The Turtle's eyes narrow as she notices that each man is covered in miniscule cuts and lacerations.  Curious.The Legion members bowl in to the waiting heroes and are taken totally unawares.  Jericho Clinton gets their attention by level ling his handguns and filling the hall with lead.  Before the villains can come to a stop, Johnny Chang has tripped one and the man is now prone on the ground.Two more Legion members fall prey to the ambush and soon Mr Quell and the Turtle are interrogating three captives, securely bound with rope.The men are gibbering in terror.  Mr Quell tries some eastern calming techniques to sooth them, but to no avail.  Finally, the Turtle throws up her hands in frustration.TURTLE: Let me try this my way.Stepping forward, she delivers a devastating kick to the crotch of the center captive.TURTLE: Talk!After the sobbing subsides, the  prisoner begins to speak.PRISONER: You'll never get out alive you know.  They're small, but they'll get you.  They'll kill you.  They'll kill us all!  Aaagh!The heroes decide no more can be learned by questioning these minion of evil.  The Legion members are cut loose, and the group prepares to head deeper in to the Temple of Terror!</blockquote>
