"Trust me, I am not one to charge headlong into a losing situation. As long as we can get somewhere close by -- perhaps by the poisondusk huts, if that is still safe, or perhaps even closer -- I can cloak you in magicks that will render you unseeable for about 3 minutes or so."

He gestures with both of his hands,"Obviously, the closer we can get to the bipeds you saw without us being detected would increase the time you could spend studying them."

[sblock=OOC]
Since I swapped out Invisibility for Extended Mage Armor today (what was I thinking??? cue face to palm), Hedowin will use his scroll of Invisibility, CL=3, so 3 minutes of invisibility for Bregan.

You are able to make your way back to the poison dusk huts, and realize in the process that your camping site is only about 1,000 feet from the temple. The density of the jungle makes it impossible to see one from the other, however, so you're confident that you won't be discovered by accident.

The bodies in the huts have clearly been moved since you left, and there is other evidence that someone or something has been here. Bregan is able to detect the tracks of blackscale lizardfolk, as well as something else he doesn't recognize. It seems like a very large quadripedal lizard, but its movements don't follow the pattern he would normally expect from something with animal intelligence. All of the tracks appear to be an hour or so old, and it is approaching nightfall as you finish your investigation.

Hedowin quietly reads his scroll and Bregan disappears from sight. He makes his way down the traiil, getting closer to the temple than he did before. As he nears the stairs of the portico, he sees two hulking, black-scaled lizardfolk slowly patrolling around the inside of the portico, clearly an edge and peering suspiciously out at the jungle with every noise.

Do you want to approach any further?

Bregan smiles at the lizardfolk, he would have to learn this trick someday. He decides to go around the temple to see if there is a secondary way to enter, either another door or a window that could be reached.
 

He makes his way around the temple, finding no entrance other than the portico. There are a number of small windows about 20' above the ground, but they don't look large enough to climb through.
 

While some of the others went off to scout, Chevri busied herself around the campsite, doing what she could to help keep the site hidden but comfortable. She took a few moments to cast some of her remaining spells- one on herself and one on the other woman (Alex). Once that was done she seemed to move more easily, and began pulling some herbs and simples out of her backpack, making tidy little bundles for each person who seemed in need of healing. "Does anyone have any extra food, or will I need to go out and forage?," she asked once her first series of preparations were completed.

OOC: Casting Lesser Restoration on herself and CLW on Alex, then beginning the process of 'long-term care' for anybody that needs it.
 

Drekhad will tell stories, sometimes just to himself, about the totally awesome and rediculously bold adventure they're going to have tomorrow. Other than that, he simply readies himself mentally and physically for what he expects to be a brutal beating he's going to take.
 

Talas 2 Str damage

As Talas lets Chevri minister to his wounds, he points to his backpack. "My brother carried rations with him, whatever is left is in my pack. Help yourself to whatever is left. Hedowin ate most of it I'm afraid, he was left in a much sorrier state than you were."
