 +
 +==== The Dark Temple – Session 2 ====
 +
 +=== Session Overview ===
 +This session follows the party as they delve deeper into a corrupted underground temple. Once a holy site, it has been desecrated into a place of blood and sacrifice. The heroes investigate the ruins, fight goblins, and uncover hints of the temple’s dark past.
 +
 +=== Plot Summary ===
 +After gaining 350 XP from earlier encounters, the adventurers discuss loot and finances before pressing on. They discover a massive chamber whose architecture suggests ancient, non-human builders.
 +
 +The group soon realizes the temple was **repurposed from a fey or goodly shrine into a site of blood sacrifice**. Behind torn red-and-black curtains lies an altar soaked in gore and the corpse of a **sacrificed black dragon wyrmling**, drained for its blood. The atmosphere is thick with anger and corruption.
 +
 +* Mistress Fria collects scales and teeth from the wyrmling as magical components.  
 +* Lómeril determines the temple’s original purpose through a Knowledge check.  
 +* The group debates taking 20 on skill checks—typical table banter and humor.  
 +
 +=== Combat Encounter ===
 +The party advances into a grand hall, hearing goblins above on a raised balcony. Combat begins:
 +
 +* Goblins hurl javelins as the heroes climb the stairs.  
 +* Fria lands a critical crossbow shot, dropping a foe.  
 +* Lómeril cleaves another goblin with his masterwork sword.  
 +* Jestix provides ranged support.  
 +
 +After several rounds, the group clears the balcony and secures the area.
 +
 +=== Exploration & Discovery ===
 +Fria scouts ahead and discovers a **tripwire alarm trap** linking two doors—likely a goblin warning system. She disables it successfully.
 +
 +Meanwhile, Lómeril and Jestix explore a side room and uncover:
 +  * A **bottle of old wine**  
 +  * A **yellowed page from the butler’s diary**, referencing the *“dark temple below the ground”* and the *“North Tower.”*  
 +These clues suggest a connection between the dungeon and ancient surface ruins.
 +
 +=== Themes & Mood ===
 +* Uncovering corruption beneath a once-holy place  
 +* The blend of humor and tension during play  
 +* Characters balancing in-game actions with meta-rule discussions  
 +* A strong atmosphere of mystery, decay, and lingering evil  
 +
 +=== Key Findings ===
 +* The temple was once a sacred site, now defiled.  
 +* Goblins have taken up residence and set simple traps.  
 +* The sacrificed **black dragon wyrmling** points to dark alchemy or rituals.  
 +* The **butler’s diary** hints at the *North Tower* and the temple’s deeper history.  
 +
 +=== Current Objectives ===
 +* Continue exploring the temple and upper levels.  
 +* Uncover the origin of the corruption.  
 +* Follow the clues in the butler’s diary.
