After killing the 3 kobolds and 3 lizardfolks at the dragon head room. Faeron finally came down through the elevator. We heard someone talking across the room in front of us. Me and Faeron entered the room to find a group of kobolds talking with a group of lizardfolks. They mentioned something about "Holy Place" and "Ally". Faeron, getting impatient, fired an arrow to the heavily armored lizardfolk. The kobolds and lizardfolks noticed our presence and turned on us.
We engaged in combat and took out most of the kobolds and lizardfolks. Then, drake started acting strange and started attacking Ryotine. Fortunately, drake was knocked out by a fireball spell rather than our own hands. Ryotine would definitely kill us if we tried to hit drake. The fireball spell injured Ryotine and Kim badly. Luckily, Rohan found him hiding at the shadow of a pillar and killed it. Now, only the heavily armored lizardfolk remains.
Rohan's glowing heavy mace illuminated the end of the room which happens to be a stone mural. The stone mural is a drawing of a battle between metallic dragons and chromatic dragons with lizardfolks on the metallic dragons' side and kobolds on the chromatic dragons' side. From that stone mural, I realize that we were killing the wrong monsters. Lizardfolks are on the good side since they fight together with the metallic dragons. I apologized to the heavily armored lizardfolk and dropped my weapon. I tried to convince him to stop fighting. Faeron told him we were just protecting ourselves and it seemed to have calmed him down a little bit.
His name is Ssz'razz, he is the leader of the lizardfolks. He also just found out that kobolds were their ancient enemy. He then proceeded to the mural to search for something. I found a switch disguised as a dragon eye and pushed it. It opened a passageway deeper into the Ziggurat. We decided that we should take some rest before investigating what the passageway leads to. Ssz'razz agreed and we went upstairs. When we reach upstairs, a bunch of lizardfolks already marched here. Ssz'razz had to explain to his people so that they don't attack us. We then went somewhere else to sleep so that no conflicts will break out.

Chapter 8
"Yaawwnnn". After some decent rest at the south of the Ziggurat, it is time to explore the hidden staircase inside the Ziggurat! We re-enter the Ziggurat and noticed that the carcass of the lizardfolks were moved. I somehow had this strange idea that the dead lizardfolks were going to be used as sacrifices for a ritualistic purpose... Oh well, maybe I was just thinking too much. We continued to walk towards the western Ziggurat, we found few lizardfolks on top of the Ziggurat. Me and Faeron dealt tons of damage on the lizardfolks before the others reach the lizardfolks. In the end, the lizardfolks died before they could do anything. Heh, I feel strong!
When we reach the top of the western Ziggurat, we found more lizardfolks carcass were aligned neatly at the corner. We ignored the carcasses and went in the Ziggurat and went down through the hidden staircase. A kobold carcass was found in the middle of the room at the end of the stairs. Its body was pierced through with blade-like objects. A pedestal is located in the middle of the room beside the dead kobold. Faeron dashed to inspect the dead kobold and activated a blade trap on the ground which injured him badly. "What a hasty guy...". I crouch down and disabled the trap.
It seemed that the pedestal is a switch that moves an elevator. After a very long discussion, Faeron was chosen to stay in the room to push the switch just in case we couldn't go back up. The elevator brought us to the base of the Ziggurat. There were 3 kobolds and 3 lizardfolks in that room and there was 2 very obvious trap in the middle of the room. The traps are in the form of 2 stone dragons which their heads are facing each other. We also found a very familiar pedestal in front of us. It's the same pedestal as the one in the room Faeron was in. So, we pushed the pedestal to let the elevator goes up and told Faeron to join us.

Chapter 7
As soon as we got close to the ziggurat, that old fool Quanta started fapping in front of us.... Me and Faeron quickly ran away from him. We saw two monitor lizards and two lizards while wondering around the ziggurat. More lizards appeared on the eastern ziggurat after we killed the two lizards and two monitor lizards. We climbed the ziggurat and killed them. We found two entrance and there was a dark orb on the roof of the ziggurat. Rohan went in the ziggurat and walked upstairs to break the dark orb. The dark orb shattered in pieces and we collected them hoping that it could be sold for money.
Then, we went to the western ziggurat and saw a lens contraption. We could clearly see Jolton through the lens contraption. That confirms it, this must be the source of the light beam. So, Rohan took out his mace and smashed the lens contraption. When we continue climbing the western ziggurat, we bumped into more lizards. After killing them, we finally reached the top of the western ziggurat. Just like the eastern ziggurat, there was a dark orb on the roof of the ziggurat. This one only has one entrance which leads to the roof. Again, we did the same thing by smashing the dark orb and collecting it.
I went in the entrance and found a switch. When I pressed it, the floor collapsed to form a staircase which leads down into darkness. The others complained that they were tired so we went south of the ziggurat to take some rest in the forest before exploring what awaits us at the end of the staircase.

Chapter 6
While we were wandering around the town, an old woman called out to Kim. The woman seemed pale and shocked by the fact that Kim, Ryotine and Faeron is alive. She said that the last time she saw Kim, Ryotine and Faeron were hundred years ago. She was surprised that those three looked exactly the same as they were hundred years ago. After a while, we noticed that the houses near the well was on fire. We rushed there and saw what caused the fire. It was a light beam from a far away mountain. It must have been some short of long range magic. Then, two light balls appeared from the fire and we started attacking it. Not long later, Evet, the magician shop owner in Jolton rushed out and stopped us. He explained that the light balls are not evil as they're light elemental creatures. Just as we were told, we stopped attacking it and it disappeared.
We decided that we should investigate the source of the light beam before Jolton gets burned down. A shady merchant approached us to sell us some flasks with green liquid in it. He said that the green liquid is an insect repellent that would be useful when we encounter swarms of insects in the jungle. Rohan sensed that he was lying so we rejected the merchant's offer. We bought some torches and alchemist fire from a merchant then Jinna gave Rohan a cure light wounds wand before we left Jolton.
As we head towards the source of the light beam. We entered a jungle. It was harder to travel in the jungle compared to forest as the thick undergrowth slowed down our movement and the trees were tall and huge which made it difficult for us to confirm whether we were moving towards the correct direction or not. We encountered an assassin vine but we changed our path slightly to avoid battling it. We set a camp fire and rested as the sun sets.
On the second day in the jungle, we met a swarm of locust. We attacked them head on with our weapons. Needless to say, we couldn't hit it and we were injured badly. It took us a while before we realize that they were weak to fire. So we used our torches and alchemist fires to burn them. After that, we continued moving towards the source of the light beam. We rested again in the jungle when the sky turned dark.
The next day, we were ambushed by a group of lizardfolk. We slaughtered them and we finally reached the source of the light beam. We saw a huge ziggurat across a bridge. We suspect that the light beam came from the top of the ziggurat. However, there were kobolds near the bridge and lizards at the other side of the bridge. We were afraid that the lizards who are guarding the bridge might disconnect the bridge if they saw us. So, we decided that me and Rohan will stealthily cross the bridge to kill the lizards then the rest of the party will come out of the jungle to kill the kobolds.
When I went near the bridge, I noticed that the bridge is extremely unsteady. Luckily I was able to cross it without falling. Then, I think Rohan slipped or something and fell off the bridge because I heard a loud splashing sound. One of the lizard went near the edge of the cliff to see what dropped into the river. I quickly sneak behind it and pushed it down to the river and quickly killed another lizard before it does anything. The rest of the party then came out to attack the kobolds. I told them Rohan fell of the bridge and Ryotine casted entangle to prevent Rohan from getting swept away by the river. After that, Faeron jumped into the river to save Rohan. However, Faeron couldn't move him because he was too heavy. Faeron tied a rope on his arrow and shot it up the cliff so that I can use the rope to pull them up. We successfully crossed the bridge. Now, to the source of the light beam!
