After taking stock of the situation the group scaled the seemingly seamless wall that surrounded the ziggurat. Once the entered what would have been the ancient city the group saw a vision…
The ruins of Kuluth-Mar seem to be suffused with a strange taint that hovers just beyond the edges of reality. Like an oily stain spreading over a pool, a vision wavers in the air. Within the tainted energy is a man seated on a great throne made of green stone. He wears ornate plate armor, and a black circlet rests on his brow. Both the circlet and armor are adorned with silver symbols – an overlapping skull and scythe. The vision expands, widening its scope to reveal that the throne Is located at the apex of the large ziggurat and in the shadow of the spire. The spire itself gleams with flashes of white light, and at its peak is balanced a fifteen-foot-tall black stone monolith shaped like a trapezoid. Around the ziggurat spreads a thriving city, its streets paved in white stone, its buildings painted and whole. Thousands of figures have gathered in the large open plaza that surrounds the ziggurat, all facing the figure seated at its center. Their cries are a rhythmic chant, surging like waves on the monolith’s shore. As these cries rise in volume, threatening to shake the jungle apart, the vision fades and is replaced by the ruined city of today.
Again, against their better judgement, the group continued forward. Once inside the ziggurat, the group realized that it wasn’t vacant, it had guardians.
After dealing with the group of guardians the group continued to push forward and explore this haven of evil.
