We arrive on Scorpion’s Delight at a fresh water stream surrounded by pleasant palm trees. We head north along the stream into the thick jungle which slopes ever upwards.
A beautiful stone portal greets us with the smell of death wafting from within. A series of stone puzzle tiles lays nearby and as we begin to inspect them a bull sized, pedipalp-less scorpion named Kenneth appears and introduces itself.
Agreeing to assist with the puzzle we begin moving the stone tiles into the central raised area. Light shines from above onto a blood-stained altar in the centre of the room, a narrow hole in the altar presents a draft.
Bart and Middleton begin moving tiles (21 in total!). Adam Smith deduces 2 tiles per platform (11) and one may be missing. As we finish laying the tiles we discover 2 pieces missing and one superfluous piece, Mariana inspects the mouse hole where another plinth awaits.
Now 2 puzzle pieces short we head west through the temple doors. 3 large, sealed ceramic urns to the north and 2 puzzle pieces to the south. Having completed the puzzle the altar opened into the darkness below and Kenneth implored us to retrieve the artifact from the depths. We reveal a map advising of traps to the E, NE and NW.
A cave-in to the west, shrine to Mother Earth south where we discovered 3 tiaras, a room full of bones at which point we were surprised by 4 scorpions. Almost as surprised as they were to get absolutely obliterated and milked (thus giving us 8x the poison we required!).
An empty chamber of treasureless sarcophagi to the east lead us to a brief rest before proceeding north.
