Temple Crossed

"This is your plan?"

"This is my plan." We were just walking into the temple, weapons up, but nothing beyond that. Alisa felt this was not a very good plan and I disagreed, it was the best plan because it was no plan. See the beauty of not having a plan means it can't fail because you never planned anything to begin with! You avoid failure by not committing to anything! The temple had a bunch of weird writing written in blood and other bodily fluids (I felt for the guy who had to work with intestines he got the short end of the bodily fluid writing campaign). The writing went through a different group of languages and dialects some of them hundreds of years old.

"What's any of it say?"

"In short, we're going to die, horribly, most of this has been written by the victims of this particular evil." Alisa snorted and started to laugh.

"The evil here lets them write about how awful it is? How polite of it."

"It wanted to spread its rep I guess, though of course the only people who can see this are about to die, so maybe not so smart. Look ancient evil is kind of dumb is what I'm saying." We actually were being left alone for a bit, which was surprising, I expected the ancient evil to not take our mocking of it, but I guess it had more important things to do, like edit its resume or something (I don't know what ancient evil does when its not murdering, perhaps thinks of new hobbies?) Alisa was about to say something to me in response to my treatise on evil when I heard something behind us. I turned to possibly shoot another claw creature when I caught sight of Randal tossing a bomb into the temple.

"RUN!" I grabbed Alisa and ran further in, the explosion blew up behind us and collapsed our entry point.I should have known that Randal would screw us, I just didn't expect it to be so overt beyond leaving us out here.

"I'm going to kill that little weasel." Alisa said exactly what I was thinking. Unfortunately for us we had to get out of the temple first, and that was not exactly easy, especially not when the temple decided to wake up, about an hour after we got stuck there...
