Chapter 9

     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.
