In a most uncharacteristic fashion, we approached this one cautiously, scouting out the entrance to the temple using our map. Descending to a platform and crossing through a deluge of water we evaded a giant spider on the ceiling trying to snare victims with threads of webbing. The next area gave us a choice of ascending or descending a spiral staircase, so we went up first find a calcified corpse trapped in rubble that Grimbol the dwarf concluded would be risky to move.
Down next into a chamber where we were attacked by shadows that proved almost impossible to hit (although Grimbol somehow managed to hit and kill the first one) and had a nasty ability to drain attributes. We realised that they wouldn't attack anyone with a lantern so we regrouped around the lights and found a secret door that was opened by placing wafers into mouths on pillars in the room. This led us through into another chamber where we found a highly valuable reliquary containing a grimoire and other treasures. At this point we decided to beat a tactical retreat to heal up for a further assault on the temple.
