DAY 1:

I was able to breach the temple entrance and force my way into the tunnel. I could tell immediately no one has been here for many years, maybe even centuries!

The air is stale and hot. It's difficult for me to make any progress in mapping the tunnels because of the air and dust. I find myself struggling to continue when the air is so stifling.

DAY 2:

This is interesting. There are two burial chambers located two levels down from the entrance. Both chambers contain stone coffins covered in black soot.

I'll have to come back to these chambers later when I've finished exploring the rest of the area.

DAY 3:

Went back to Zaikhal for supplies.

Bought a torch, tools, and enough food to last me the week.

DAY 4:

I explored the remaining areas on the first level today. I found something of interest...Four separate rooms located at four different corners of the temple. Each room has a coffin. Why are these coffins not in the main burial chamber?

Tomorrow I plan to pry open the coffins. There might be something inside them explaining their importance.

DAY 5:

By strength alone I was able to pry the lids of all four coffins. I wasn't surprised to see the bones and wrappings of the dead, but I found it unusual that buried with each was a key.

I left the keys where I found them. If I find a use for them I'll come back. Tomorrow I hope to explore the remaining parts of the complex.

DAY 6:

Didn't make much progress today. I was hindered by metal gates that were sealed tightly. I'm starting to believe the gates were never meant to be opened.

DAY 7:

Another sealed gate slowed my progress. On the other side was a large chamber and I could hear the sound of fountains.

I couldn't pry or break the gate this time, it was too large. I'll have to look for another way into the chamber.

DAY 8:

There is a second passage from the other side, which leads to the same large chamber. And I was right! There are two fountains in this chamber! That explains the noise of running water I heard yesterday.

I just found a small area made of small rooms off from the main chamber. There
are two rooms with floor mounted levers. I think I'll leave these alone until I know what they go to...

DAY 9:

I'm running out of food. I'm so close to the end though! There are some details I'll have to write down later...I discovered what the levers do and found doors that can only be unlocked by those four keys. I don't have time to write the details in this entry, maybe later.

DAY 10:

With what remains of my strength I was able to push open the last remaining gate. I must be getting delirious. I keep hearing voices coming from behind me...I'm hearing strange noises, like wind, but different, and I can't find the source.

There is a large audience chamber here with lit candles. I don't remember lighting them, but lately I've been having problems remembering things. Tomorrow I'm going back to town for more supplies.

DAY 11:
