DerykExploration
AKA: “That. Is. Awful.”
You find a room filled with the corpses of Githyanki priests. Through clever application of rituals you determine that they were killed by an invading force of other Githyanki, which are currently occupying this temple.
You enter another room filled with destroyed statues that glow with a magical energy. Further application of rituals allows you to understand the voices coming from the room below.
The chamber below appears to be a temporary camp with three dozen bedrolls set around a pair of smoldering fire pits. Three githyanki are here—warriors by their look, and all of them angry. One mutters that the human outpost waits to be taken, cursing the orders that keep the githyanki in the temple while “the astraan mages chant their useless rituals over the shielded circle.” A second growls agreement as he curses someone he calls “the coward Kada’ne, safe on Cev’ren while we hide like dogs for the sake of his fear.”
Your eavsedropping is interrupted by three translucent Githyanki warriors who rise up from the rubble.
