"The living would be reluctant to venture where the dead rests, but they are not resting, we must put old hatreds to rest. Let us enter!"

Kuublu proceeds in.

"Oh, my brave prince." chuckled Chastu. "Still the same old jumping in with both heels."

"I'd best not leave you to go in alone. Who knows what trouble will come of it?"

Chastu follows Kuublu in. "Come, men. Let us all be brave together,eh?"

Chiemeka takes his usual place at Kuublu's shoulder.

Jafari walks in beside Chastu looking around spear and shield in hand "what is this place?" He whispers

"Ha, I don't know but we're sure to find out soon!"

Looking through the gate into the citadel, you see into a long processional avenue lined with the broken ruins of mighty buildings.

Rubble partially blocks the wide walkway, and there are signs of widespread burning.

More bones are scattered in the wreckage, but these may or may not be human.

The citadel is full of shadows and the wind makes a constant keening as it rushes between the fallen columns. A large bird flaps away, alarmed by your approach. Your unease builds as you near the main square.

A black barked tree some twelve paces broad at the base dominates the square. Its bark is carved with geometrical patterns, entwined glyphs, and a script whose like you have never seen. The air is tense with the watchful calm that presages danger.

About the square stand more buildings ravaged by fire and decay, all of the same monolithic construction.

Two structures strike you as especially interesting. The first is a small hexagonal edifice with a domed roof, set atop a large square plinth. The other is a fortress with four massive square towers.

Lets check out the Edifice.


"This is the resting place of an ancient Chief Kalama. Generations ago my ancestors came to these lands and Kalama was forced to retreat to this citadel. It seems fitting that I would find this place. Perhaps... some old hatreds could be resolved."

"You think we should check the little building first, yes? That seems sensible."

Across the main square, north-east of the great tree, stands a hexagonal pavilion atop a flat pyramidal base.

There must once have been a statue above the pavilion, for the rubble scattered about this edifice has been carefully worked.

Looking at the worn steps, you see the broken feet of this statue still flank the pavilion. The door ahead of you is decorated with a grinning simian skull above a crescent moon. To either side of the door stands the white stone statue of a male gorilla. The apes sit upright on their haunches higher than a man’s shoulder, and their stone gums are bared to display wicked fangs. The statue on the left has a large crack in the centre of its chest.

"Those. They came alive and attacked us. I wonder whether we should rest up and..."

Kuublu clutches his cracked ribs.....
