The investigators try to cover up, though they are devastated
by the loss of their friend and they are physically and psychically worn-down

Serpent People meets mankind, for the second time. Let's hope that this turns better out for mankind than the first time.
5. Within the fortress
The investigators do not immediately encounter guards but do soon stumble across a hideous and completely alien creature locked up in a cage. The investigators assumed that the creature is caged for a good reason and retreat. Penny is injured in the head in the retreat but is able to continue the investigation. Next the investigators find a tunnel that goes straight upwards and leads to a temple and a laboratory. It is something in the air, in the laboratory, damaging their lungs, but Doc manage to steal some plaques. Next they find the hub in the tower, the air shaft. The air shaft indicates the number of levels in this tower, but what is more interesting about the air shaft, is the two time gates in the base of the air shaft. The Investigators dare not enter that gates and discuss whether they should retreat and rest. They decide to go on. (The Keeper bullied them;-)

In the lab the investigators discover a drawing the the professor made of an strange, serpent like and ill-boding tower.
