It’ll be trouble if Pontifex Charmion finds us poking among the ruins of her gods. But the Ancients are either gone or dead, and we’ve nothing to fear from a bunch of unmoving statues and dusty bones. \n\nTitus swears he saw a skeleton turn its head. I said he’d taken too many knocks on his. I ran a few dusty skulls through with my spear, just in case. None of them so much as sneezed. \n\nWe’ll be fine. Just have to find any treasure and run. Then we’ll be rich.

A Dream of Riches

That dimwit Titus turned up dead this morning. Looks like he slipped off some loose stones on the bridge above. I told him not to cross to the other side until we put up some scaffolding. \n\nNow the others are squabbling over whether they should split his share of the treasure, or wait and see if he comes back to life. My head hurts. \n\nAnd something else bothers me. We found Titus with his head twisted right around, staring up at us with him flat on his stomach. A fall wouldn’t do that… right?

Mind the Gap

I’m the only one left. \n\nThey woke up during my watch. It sounded like a hundred statues and corpses marching up the stairs, cold weapons glinting in their hands. I screamed to wake the others…and then I jumped. \n\nI’m pretty sure I broke an ankle. And then I heard screaming coming from the top of the Wall, felt warm drops of blood showering down around me. \n\nI stopped looking after that. I don’t think the guardians have started chasing me yet. Merciful Mercury, dull my pain and get me out of this place!
