After grabbing the longsword from the state with a bit of teamwork you move to the last area of this floor. Beyond the collapsed wall, other ruins of the temple grounds spread across the seafloor, many crumbled beyond identification. In the sand next to a collapsed building, what appears to be a large, metal cylinder crusted with barnacles lies partially buried.
You guys move to the room in the south. A statue of a warrior wrestling with a giant serpent stands on a two-foot-high pedestal in this columned hall. The serpent is coiled around the warrior and has locked its jaws around her upper body. The woman holds her sword high, ready to strike the serpent’s neck again. She has cut nearly all the way through, and only a thin piece of skin keeps the head attached to the long, sinuous body. Magical light radiates from the blade of the sword, illuminating the statue and the chamber. Jagged columns of coral stand among finely carved marble columns. The remains of the south wall lie in broken pieces, allowing full view of the ocean beyond. Because you are taking your time Fang and Atlan see that there are a number or Coral Spine Traps that you can easily avoid after pointing them out to the rest of the group.
The large statue depicts the Azlanti heroine Savith locked in a battle with Ydersius, god of the serpentfolk. You know that Savith, a mortal warrior, decapitated Ydersius, but the serpent god’s bite later killed the heroine. Bas-relief carvings on the columns in the hall depict scenes of war and strife involving evil deities and demon lords, with mortals and outsiders alike battling demons and other monsters. You can identify the horrific demon lord Abraxas, Achaekek the Mantis God, the evil sun deity Nurgal, and Zura the Vampire Queen among the evil creatures. The sword in the hand of the Savith statue detects as magic and after looking at it closely Mary says that it is a +1 aberation-bane keen longsword. The sword sheds light equivelant to a light spell. DC 30 Strength Check to remove.
On a large dais occupying the central position in the room is a statue of a man sitting on a throne and holding a hammer in one hand and a closed book in the other, but the statue’s head is missing. Beside it stands another statue, and four others yet remain standing among the crumbled remains of other statues that litter the floor. You know the man on the throne as Amaznen, the primary god of magic worshiped in the ancient Azlanti empire. The other statues in this hall depict deities of the Azlanti pantheon with whom Amaznen was believed to have maintained friendly or at least neutral relations. Amaznen’s followers considered their god the leader of the pantheon, a notion that worshipers of other deities did not necessarily reciprocate. The second statue on the dais depicts a muscular woman wearing a helmet with a Y-shaped opening for the eyes and mouth, wielding a nine-foot-long spear and a large, round shield adorned with a symbol reminiscent of a
You identify the warrior as Acavna, a long-dead goddess of the moon and defensive battle. You also remember a myth according to which Acavna pulled Golarion’s moon from its orbit to shield the world from a meteorite that would have annihilated all life on the planet. Acavna died as a result of the impact, and despite her sacrifice, the fragments of the shattered meteorite destroyed Azlant and plunged Golarion into the Age of Darkness. The statue standing left of the dais depicts a beautiful Azlanti woman with a look of mourning on her face, carrying a harp and a knife. You identify the woman as Shelyn. Also you remember that in the days of Azlant, she did not yet have her brother Dou-Bral’s glaive, which she acquired after her brother was transformed into Zon-Kuthon. This statue represents Shelyn after she and Dou-Bral had their conflict that prompted him to embark upon a journey to unknown realms. During this time, prior to his monstrous return as Zon-Kuthon, she was often depicted as being in mourning for her lost sibling. The statue in the northeast corner depicts a bearded man in a flowing chiton, wearing a gilded laurel wreath and holding a large key in his hand. You identify the man as Abadar. The ancient Azlanti saw him chiefly as a god of cities and gold, rather than of law—Amaznen held that position in the Azlanti pantheon. According to a legend, Abadar acquired the Law domain from Amaznen after that god died. The statue in the southeast corner depicts a distant woman with long, flowing hair and skulls hanging from her toga. Her arms are crossed defiantly across her chest. You know that this statue depicts Pharasma, goddess of death, prophecy, and rebirth. The statue of Amaznen is wearing a ring that is magical, after looking at it you identify it as a Ring of Spell Knowledge II.

To the north Fang sees. On a large dais occupying the central position in the room is a statue of a man sitting on a throne and holding a hammer in one hand and a closed book in the other, but the statue’s head is missing. Beside it stands another statue, and four others yet remain standing among the crumbled remains of other statues that litter the floor. Then to the south A statue of a warrior wrestling with a giant serpent stands on a two-foot-high pedestal in this columned hall. The serpent is coiled around the warrior and has locked its jaws around her upper body. The woman holds her sword high, ready to strike the serpent’s neck again. She has cut nearly all the way through, and only a thin piece of skin keeps the head attached to the long, sinuous body.

Stuff and Thangs:
Fang as you notice Red and Green, you think Red might have noticed you as well.

Mary looks at the mask carefully and realizes it's a cursed item called Mask of Ugliness.
Fang you see something on the ground that looks like 2 vials. Atlan you see something ahead of you that looks like jewels or something your not really sure from that distance. Mary and Eustice start talking back and forth and with some ingenuity you are able to manipulate it enough to get the mask free. Now you look at it and it detects as magic.
Fang is unable to bend the part and you feel like youbmight not have enough strength to do so.
Rolling History and Religion for Eustice
Fang looks at the mask and you can reach it but you will have to pry the bars apart to get it out. With the statue in the far part of the room you recall that this figure represents Eyndea, one of Amaznen’s servitors. A powerful kolyarut inevitable inquisitor, Eyndea punished those who broke their oaths of secrecy or shared any secret information that would harm the church or the people of Azlant. With the statue behind the bars you know that the mouthless woman as
You also see there are some things on the floor further into the corridor. The one closest to you looks to be a few vials.
Fang and Atlan move up and look around. At one end of the corridor stands a statue depicting a hooded figure with four arms. Her armor and mask are sculpted to give her the appearance of a woman, but the spaces between the plates of armor reveal that her body consists of clockwork gears. One of her arms is extended, pointing an accusing finger at a statue at the opposite end of the hallway. The other statue, standing in a semi-circular alcove behind thick steel bars, depicts a stern woman with no mouth. Fang you see a mask laying down on the ground by the statue behind the bars.
While Eustice is keeping the attention of Kelpy, Atlan and Fang go and finish off the unconscious creatures. Then you all gather your things and go towards the door and open it up. You see a corridor that turns to the left and leads to a door that is partially open. You can deduce that it will lead back up to where you were before. Ahead of you see a room to the right and what looks to be bars to the left.
Eustice is able to heal everyone back up and while you guys are taking a short break in here and going through the loot. Eustice you notice that there is a spot in the middle section between the far two metal rods that there is a well hidden location of an indentation. You think an Ioun Stone would be able to fit in the location, you think the only reason you were able to locate it is because the power was on.
Amulet of Natural Armor +2
Kelpy yells some words of encouragement to Eustice ans swims over fast and takes a small slice. As he is swimming Fang takes a verbal jab back at Atlan then in almost a blink of an eye throws a bolt of Lightning hitting Pink square in the middle of the chest right after Kelpys slash. Pink drops

Then Red will double move away from Atlan and let out a monstrous growl. Eustice, Fang and Atlan now that you are closer to the rods you notice that a few seconds after Red went south there was electricity that went between the 2 rods.
Mary focuses and conjures an Arcane Bolt that hits Green right in the middle of the chest blowing a hole right through him, then you see him fall to the bottom.
