[QUOTE="kinem, post: 5070305, member: 24234"] Father Fuller enters the shrine. The statue on the altar is of a badly scarred young man. In one hand he holds a mace set with small bits of mirror. The other hand clutches a bat by its feet. Around the base of the statue are carved the word "Hosadus" and a date. Based on his knowledge of Hulean scholars, Fuller estimates that this date is about 400 years in the past. The painted panels show scenes from the life of the man. The first panel shows his birth - a baby is lifted above a smoking cleft by a clawed hand while two humans watch. The second panel shows a handsome young boy battling a shining dragon creature. The third panel shows the same youth, badly wounded, tended by several clawed beings. One creature holds a book the boy is reading. The fourth panel shows the boy, now scarred, using spells to defeat a group of non-human creatures. The fifth panel shows the construction of a great palace. The workers are clawed, horned, toothy creatures who lift great blocks of stone. The next panel shows the same palace, now complete. Two large statues stand to either side of the entrance. They are the same as the creatures shown building the palace in the previous panel. On a tower above the door stands the man in a cloud of bats. The eighth panel shows him much older, standing in the prow of a boat, casting a collar about the neck of a great water beast. In the background are a swamp, a forest, and the palace. The final panel shows the man, old and withered, leaning on a staff, standing before a misty doorway. Vague shadowy shapes stand in the fog. Meanwhile, a few people make their way into the temple, which is in the other walled area. These men look like merchants - well dressed, but not as finely as nobles would be, and without the bearing or musculature that career soldiers typically have. They nod politely to your party but don't look like they want to talk. [/QUOTE]
