“The ruins are those of a temple is now used by a tribe of lizardfolk worshipers of some half-fiend dragon god. From what I understand, they demand tribute from other lizard folk tribes in the region, so I would expect them to be armed and capable. However, the temple and its inhabitants are merely an obstacle, to be evaded or eliminated at your discretion. I believe it holds a deeper secret, one unknown to the current inhabitants and perhaps even its original builders. My research indicates the temple occupies a place where an ancient demon was cast down, and, I believe, beneath the temple lies the crypt of that ancient creature lies, along with relics of its time." Surkil pauses. "In legend, such places were guarded, by  half-dragon beasts. The communications I recieved from my last group of contractors indicated they didn't even make it to the temple," he winches, "unless it was as some lizardfolk's lunch."
