Ch. 16 Rescue in the Ruins

[Jet]

The group entered the temple, Stark taking point. A short ways in they found and rescued one of Isos and Pasos' men who gave them a light making the way much easier.

Jody peered around them, studying the interior of the ruins, they were unlike anything she'd ever seen before. And most unexpectedly, the wall stared back at her.

"Is anyone else bothered by the giant red eye on the wall?” Jody asked. “Is that what passes for a security camera? It feels so strange, it’s like the walls themselves are alive and watching us. Who would build such a spooky temple?”

The others were moving on, and so she hurried back over, not wanting to fall behind and get left in the dark. Movement was soon halted anyway, the group having come to the temple's first trap. This one was fairly obvious as far as traps went, just a simple bed of spikes. It looked just long enough that the average reploid wouldn't be able to clear them with a running jump, and yet on the other side they perceived a large block, maybe one of them could drag that over and shorten the distance. It didn't look secured to the ground or anything, but it seemed awfully convenient that it was right there.
