Entrances

----> "Hole here!" Tharg calls out from near the corner of the temple's base to the party's left.
----> The party turns away from the uncomfortable gathering around the distant stares of the marryk. They join their fellow travelers, Tharg and Conner, at the rim of a large opening in the lush greenery.
----> The macaques have finally overcome their initial fears and have come to within six paces or so of the group.
----> Upon further scrutiny, the hole is found to be just large enough to fit two bodies at a time through its evidently recent excavation. Rich soil has accumulated around the rim, small worms still wriggling their way through its dark brown interior. Although the macaques are pretty much everywhere else surrounding the temple, they seem to be avoiding this hole.
----> When queried, Aegeon and Yohon reply that they do not recall it being present when they arrived nearly three weeks ago.
----> Alliandra suggests returning to the mainland for additional supplies, specifically citing holy water as an important tool.
----> Tilwic stresses that time is of the essence and informs the group that he and the marryk will be continuing into the temple irregardless of the party's actions.
----> Tharg and Conner seem extremely hesitant to enter the building of "bad-bones." Despite this, Tharg seems happy to mimic the monkeys in their playful dances. One smaller macaque has taken to perching atop his broad shoulders and pick the bugs from his hair. Tharg has picked up a thick, wooden stump from somewhere to replace his splintered weapon.
----> Cyrdan suggests entering the temple, even if only to "scout about."
----> Grant is already moving to the backside of the temple to test the integrity of the grappling ropes.
