Theya

Temple Of Kunap Kai

what happened

  • a strange being calling itself the "Voice of Kunap'Kai" appeared and demanded obedience
    • it was carried by the missing scouts
    • Zuma recognises it as Okuekali, a lesser servant of Kunap'Kai whos two heads see the future and the past, respectively
  • the group was sent out to scout as Paqarimuy considered all this to be a bit fishy
  • the found a tunnel up to the plateau; after defeating one of the strange constructs inside it they were able to approach and enter the temple area itself
  • Tepoyali escaped from the camp multiple times to join them or scout on her own
  • the group infiltrated the complex and found a large tribe of Kobolds defiling it and constructing idols of the Voice
  • Apu challenged the Chosen, with powers related to night; revealing some of their secrets
  • meanwhile, Paqarimuy is in a trance, something related to her god
  • Qyuachin was able to stall - in part thanks to Apus somewhat shaken standing after his attempt to murder Mica
  • Tepyoali helped a number of Michina escape; though some were killed by kobolds hunting them

what they learned

  • the temple has a "warding aura", but it is very weak
  • there is a large tribe of Tepilin (kobolds) at the temple - seemingly worshipping the Voice directly (?)
  • the kobolds are working on some tasks they would not come up with on their own; they clearly have direction from above, and seeing how much of it is sacriligeous it cannot come from Kunap'Kai itself
  • some strange "constructs" of stone/bone/dead plants are present; they seem both dangerous and somewhat unstable
