[SHOW]
As you flip through the book's pages you find, to your dismay, that almost the entire book is filled with blank pages. As if it was being copied, or even written, and was never finished. All the book contains is a short passage describing Lis-beht, the dragon said, in the Serran Pantheon, to guard the way to the afterlife. The passage is followed by a name and a couple of words from an unfinished sentence, "Vor-kaleth was the."

"It's... mostly empty," Shira'stasa says, disappointedly. "There's a passage in here about Lis-beht, and the afterlife." Not understanding, she passes the book to whoever will take it to dwell on it for a few moments more. Were they protecting the afterlife by effacing this symbol?

"Maybe this temple is devoted to Lis-beht? Seems a bit weird to worship a dragon, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone did," Cleo says, shrugging her shoulders. "What would you even pray for, though? 'O great dragon, please don't eat me. I am not as wicked as I seem. Give me a head start in exploring your Labyrinth'? It would definitely be strange."

Geral scratches at his chin as he thinks. No, that doesn't make sense...
"... What if the gods fought him at some point?.. Maybe, and this is just a guess here. Maybe Lis-Beht lost, and as punishment for challenging the gods, was forced to guard the entrance to the underworld? Would that be possible? I mean, I'm just making guesses here, but it's possible."

"Possibly," Shira'stasa says, her mind's gears running. "Perhaps Lis-beht was central to the Pantheon at one point, maybe even the God King of them. The others could have mutinied against his divine rule, ridding him of his deific power and like you said, sellsword, forcing him to the labyrinth. We should look for more evidence of this strange... battle or such that caused his symbol to be effaced from most everything here."

"Vor-kaleth? Hm, let me see that," Cleo says, before glancing at the book. "'Vor-kaleth was the' ... Was the what? Maybe if Lis-beht is the guardian of the afterlife, Vor-kaleth tried to infiltrate it? No, that would be weird. Well, maybe the symbols have something to do with whoever that was, and not Lis-beht."

Still pondering the words, Cleo wanders around the rest of the rooming, checking to see if there are any useful clues besides the book. There has to be something here that could help puzzle this out.

As far as you can tell, nothing has been missed within the room. Aside from the one book, there is no paper left in the room and you cannot find anything else that seems important. The only thing you see that is new to you, is the next staircase down deeper into the temple, which is a few steps down a short corridor leading out of the library.

"Well this place seems pretty barren besides that book," Cleo says, after walking the room and looking for signs of anything useful. "We could stand here thinking of ideas about what this book is all about, or we could just move on and see what else we find." The last bit is said in a tone clearly indicating that it is the correct option.

Getting up from his position perched against the column, Cameryn rejoins the rest of the group who are bickering over the pointless book. Jumping at Cleo's comment, he says, "I'm up for that. Let's get a move on. No sense in standing here arguing about a book that clearly none of you understand anyways." With this, Cameryn gives Cleo a light shove forward to urge her on.

You make your way down the stairs, not noticing any traps. At the bottom you find yourselves in another long room, similar to the first room you found yourselves in. Again there are a couple of skeletons, one robed and one a Golden Spear. On the far end of the room there is another long corridor, you can see a reddish glow coming from that corridor.

With the new spearheads in her pack, Cleo looks down the hall and notices the glow coming from the next corridor. "Hey, you guys should hurry up and come down here," she calls back to the others, who are still perusing the library for some reason. "There is a weird red light. It's kinda spooky."

Shira'stasa heads down to where the elf and her fellow Tenant are, herself noticing the reddish glow coming from down the corridor. "Curious," she says. "What could be emitting a glow like this?" She motions for Cleo to follow, and slowly steps down the hall to get a better view.

Warily following behind the two tenants, Eoli looks around the corridor. "I'm liking this place less and less," he says, noticing the ruddy glow as Cleo rummages around for more spearheads. "If you insist on continuing, be more cautious."

Cleo, Shira and Eoli make their way towards the source of the light. After heading through an arch, they emerge in a large room, lined with pillars and statues. You count 6 statues, 3 on either side of the room facing the ones on the other side. However your eyes are drawn to the source of the red glow which bathes the entire room in its light. At the far end of the room there is what looks like a large red gemstone on a pedestal. It is a dark murky red and its colour appears to be swirling and changing.

Shira'stasa's eyes widen as she beholds the contents of the chamber. "Cleo... have you ever, in your studies, seen anything like this? I know I haven't." She studies the faces of the statues, seeing if she recognizes any of their figures, before slowly stepping forward to the gem to investigate. What in the world could this gem be? It's... enticing. Inviting, even, as if it was placed here for us to find. I must see it.

"Do not get too close to the gem, Shira'stasa. the magic we could sense from the surface originated from it. It is extremely powerful." Eoli says, beginning to move with more confidence as he fails to see anything that could endanger his allies. "It might be safest if I call out a wisp to handle it."

"Powerful, you say..." Shira'stasa steps closer to the gem, just feet away from it. Power from the Gods themselves? This is an incredible find... Am-ines will tremble when he finds that I have sought out something this divine! She feels compelled toward the massive gemstone, with its swirling color.

Geral looks about as the group heads onwards, waiting a bit before motioning for the rest of the party to follow. When he enters the chamber, he eyes the gem with a slight confusion. Is this a temple after all? Or is it a magic college, given the size of the gem.
"Odd that such a thing would be in a temple. I vote we don't touch it and leave it alone. Even if it does hold great power, it has been trapped here who knows how long. For all we know, it could hold a dangerous demon waiting to poses the one who touches it."

"Well he is right about it being magical. Not really sure what it is, though, I am just as stumped as you," the girl responds to Shira'stasa. "I bet if anything down here is valuable it is that. Kinda eerie, though, don't you think? A magical gemstone hidden under the sand?" I kinda want it, but I don't want to touch it...

"Valuable? This looks priceless. Perhaps it has power beyond mortal worth," she notes audibly, mostly to herself. She steps up to the pedestal the giant gemstone is seated on. Turning back to her companions, she speaks up. "I appreciate your concern, but we cannot simply pass by such a treasure." She turns back to the beautiful crystal, engulfed in its brilliant patterns within. It is mine, she thinks to herself. She places her right hand on the top of it, cautiously.

As Shira'stasa's hand nears the gemstone it begins to pulse quicker and quicker. Her hand touches the gem and there is a sudden flash of light, Shira'stasa finding herself knocked backwards a few feet. Strange misty tendrils, swirling red and black, begin to come out of the gem from where Shira'stasa touched it. The misty substance begins to gather behind the pedestal, and it appears to be forming the vortex seen on the cover of the book in the library.

The gemstone shatters as the last of its colour disappears, leaving a twisted red and black vortex of mist in its place. To some, the shape of the vortex looks to be that of a man. Suddenly the vortex moves, slamming itself into the chest of the nearest statue. The vortex disappears inside and after a moment the statue begins to move.

Cleo's punch takes a sizeable chunk of stone out of the statue and sends it bouncing across the room, the ancient stone is still hard but it does appear to be weakened. The Statue responds, sweeping an arm at Cleo in an attempt to knock her back, however the young tenant is able to avoid the slow attack. Failing to hit its target, the Statue steps backwards off its base, dust littering the floor as the stone legs move for the first time.

As Cleo seems to falter in advancing on the statue, Eoli calls up a wisp near her to help. The spirit darts into the tenant's body, taking control and striking out at the statue again. Cleo's fist, unfortunately, just glances off of the hard stone again.

Cursing under his breath, he calls up another wisp in the same spot, this time allowing it to build it's rocky armor. The wisp readies itself for any movement that the statue may make.

As the strange being commandeers the nearest statue warrior, Shira'stasa can feel her arcane power surging within her body, begging to be released. I will show you death, she thinks. With a flash of spectral flame, her zombie hand apparition appears, and with it a pile of bones collected from the previous chambers. It slams them to the floor and they snap into shape: a skeletal being with a layer of "skin" consisting of green-black flame. The horrible creature slashes wildly at the statue, the heat cracking the stone. "Reveal your true form, Vor-kaleth! Don't hide away in some forgotten statue!" she cries, taunting it.

Geral looks over at Shira with a roll of his eyes. She's still going on about that. He doubts Vor-Kaleth would be hiding at this point. he decides his best move is to go around the statue, bringing his blade up and striking at the thing. Despite it's tough stone armor, he manages to chip at the statue, making it crack slightly.

Hold steady, tenant!" Eoli cries, seeing the staggering girl backpedal away from the statue. He sends a bright spark of energy fling to her, invigorating her and stopping the ringing that is most likely going on in her head.
