The heroes (Tiberius, Nirrana, Samirah, Tasnim, Sul abSil, Asbah, Abdul, and Alexander) spend the night atop the dais in the ruins. In the morning, the heroes spot three more scorpions, two large and one huge, that are in the area where the dead scorpions lay. The group quietly descends the back side of the dais and heads to the far side of the canyon, arriving there just after mid-day. The group then heads down the larger side canyon and in the later afternoon spies a cave in the distance. They also find the remnants of stylized copper statues in human form. With a few minutes, however, the party spies four giant wasps out hunting. They have plenty of time to prepare for an attack and manage to pretty easily fight the insects off, thanks to Niranna's fire cube and burning hands as well as volleys of magic missiles from Asbah, Samirah, and Alexander. Unfortunately, Sul abSil is stung in the melee. Tasnim treats the wound and then uses a slow poison to alleviate the effects temporarily. The group then continues on...
As they get close to the cave mouth, they spy two upright copper statues standing to either side of the entrance. The group strides up but the statues snap to attention. Samirah and Sul salute the things to no effect, but when Tiberius does the same thing, they salute back. With encouragement from Samirah, where she literally is holding the boy's hand, Tiberius walks upto and past the statues, with the rest of the party following suite. Asbah supplies a continual light stone to from to illuminate the way.
The group then stumbles into a massive python, but Sul takes it out quite quickly with a little help from Tiberius. Then the group encounters three different caverns filled with fire beetles, slaying 17 so far.
