You attempt to flee...
On a Circular Stairway
The stairway curves down into darkness, bending toward the center of
the temple. There appears to be another landing of some sort below, but
it is hard to see what might else might be there. Niches in the walls of
the stairway have clearly been designed to hold small statues or vases,
instead they hold crushed and broken remains. One would expect the stench
of rot and decay that holds the upper part of the temple ransom, but the
cool air here smells of sweet incense, an odor so strong that it drowns
out everything else.
Obvious exits: -Up -Down
You flee upward!

A Strangely Silent Landing
This landing in the staircase has a strange, magical silence to it.
Something here blocks out all sound, the silence has an ominous air to it,
as if it here to quiet some deadly secret. A huge mural of a snake wound
around a gigantic tree has been created on the floor, the mural has a
faint magical aura suggesting that it may be the source of the silence
that has overtaken this otherwise dark and non-descript room. There is an
alcove of some sort to the east and a short hallway extends to the north.
The wide stairway reaches further downward into the dark depths of the
temple and climbs upward to the exit at its top.
An unnatural silence fills this area.
Obvious exits: -North -East -Up -Down
A few drops of fresh blood are scattered around the area.
A green tile mural has been set into the floor.

A Wide Stone Stairway
This stairway is much wider than the one outside the temple, yet it
curves sharply, making it difficult to see what is above or below.
Crushed bones rest on one of the steps, simply left there to rot and
decay. A bloodstain of some sort marks one of the walls, it is an old
stain that has begun to flake away. It is clear that the yuan-ti don't
worry much about the cleanliness of their temple, then again, that might
be part of their religeon. There is an odd silence here, footsteps echo
off the walls and then are suddenly swallowed up, and nothing at all can
be heard from deeper within the temple.

The Top of a Dark Stairway
This room has been left completely unadorned in any way. All that is
here is the shoddily constructed door leading back out of the temple to
the south and a wide stone stairway that curves its way downward into the
bowels of the temple itself. The air here is cool, and tainted by a foul,
almost sweet, aroma that brings strange images of death and destruction
with every breath.

In the Serpent's Mouth
A poorly concealed door stands in the northern wall of this small
alcove. The alcove itself has been designed to look like the inside of a
serpent's mouth, with only minor success. Stones of the floor have been
cut and shaped into a forked tongue, and stone fangs hang down from the
roof of the mouth over the entrance to the south. An intricately carved
symbol of some sort of flying serpent on the door glows with a strange
magical light, showing more skill and craftsmanship in its creation than
the entire temple itself.

Before a Serpentine Altar
The altar here has never been cleaned, nor has the rest of the flat
entryway into the temple to the north. Dried blood is caked everywhere,
in layers so deep that it can be chipped away like dried paint. Bits of
flesh cling to the edges of the altar area to the east and west where
sacrificial victims have been flung off the temple. An entryway to the
north passes through a fanged mouth, the fangs being constructed of a
somewhat paler green stone than the rest of the temple. As one looks
toward the base of the temple below a wide path that extends around the
sides of the temple can be seen. The path allows the 'lower' yuan-ti to
view the sacrificial rites the priests perform on the altar here.

Below the Temple Entrance
Just above is a flat stone with a medium size altar standing in front
of the entrance into the temple. yuan-ti guard this temple carefully, it
is the seat of their worship, and the center of their society. Any
intrusions are dealt with severely, even intrusions by 'lower' yuan-ti.
Corpses can be seen clinging to the sides of the temple as one surveys its
shoddy construction. A foul odor pours down the steps on a wave of cool
air. The odor itself has a bitter, acrid tang, hinting of poison and
decay.

On the Temple Stairway
Not even some of the most elite yuan-ti are allowed on this stairway
without permission of the priests. The most avid worshipers of the
yuan-ti god are all the 'true-bloods' or 'chosen'. They are the once with
the most serpent-like bodies, the closest to the ideal in the twisted
yuan-ti society. Lesser yuan-ti that are so bold as to climb this
stairway are killed almost instantly, foreigners are usually captured and
tortured before death, and rumour has it that female foreigners can meet
even more unspeakable fates.

On the Temple Stairway
The higher vantage point afforded by the stairway allows one to look
out over much of the temple itself. Constructed in rising coils, several
levels of the temple have become laded with enough dirt to support the
growth of small bushes and flowers as well as the vines that climb all
over its surface. A corpse can be seen just off to the east, caught in
several bushes. The corpse itself has decayed so badly it is impossible
to tell what it once was, all that can be determined now is that it was
once humanoid. The stairway continues upward toward a strange altar and
downward to meet the jungle.

On the Temple Stairway
This narrow stairway climbs up the side of the serpent shaped temple to
reach an altar that stands in an open area at its top. Behind the altar
is the entrance to the temple itself, a simple opening shaped like a
fanged serpent's mouth. Few yuan-ti ever climb this stairway and it is
certain that any impure foreigners that attempt to will be attacked. The
stone steps are cracked and ugly, though not due to heavy use. This
temple, though fairly large, is poorly designed and constructed. It
serves the purpose of the yuan-ti priests and faithful however, and their
constant care will keep it standing for quite some time.

Before a Sinister Temple
Wide paths extend to the east and west along the sides of the monstrous
temple to the north, and a long stairway leads up the side of the temple
to the fanged mouth that is its entrance. Close inspection shows that
dark green stones have been intermingled with the plain gray stone to make
the temple appear to have snake-like scales in a vain attempt to make the
temple seem even more snake-like. The workmanship is quite poor however,
gaps in the stones make it clear that the yuan-ti, or whatever slaves they
used, know very little about stonework. The sides of the temple contain
the remains of past sacrifices which have been tossed from the top of the
temple to bounce their way down toward its base. Many of the large
corpses never made it to the bottom and lie clinging to vines and bushes
along the sides of the temple as they rot away.

Near a Sinister Temple
The creatures that travel here are strange combinations of snake-like
features and human features, with a wide variety of different
combinations. All these strange creatures clearly worship the sinister
temple that stands just to the north. The temple itself is shaped like a
coiled serpant, with a long stone stairway that climbs up the coils to an
entryway that takes one through a large fanged mouth at the top of the
temple. As one looks up the stairway just to the north, spots of dried
blood and even rotting corpses can be made out along the sides of the
stairs, as if bloody sacrifices had been tossed off the top of the temple
to bounce their way down to the ground.

On the Path to a Sinister Temple
As the path widens here, the details of the temple to the north become
more clear. First though, there appears to be a small niche in the trees
to the east that creates a hiding place for the guards that protect this
passage toward the temple. The widened path to the north has been lined
with gravel to keep the jungle from encroaching upon it, unlike the temple
itself which is covered with vines and clinging bushes. A stone stairway
leads up to the top of the temple to an opening shaped like the mouth of a
fanged serpent. The body of the temple matches its entrance, shaped
deliberately like the body of a coiled serpent. The creatures that can be
seen wandering here are clearly abominations, grotesque combinations of
snakes and men, some more snake-like, some more human-like, but all are
frightening to behold.

On the Path to a Dark Temple
A strange idol of some sort stands to the west, its serpantine limbs
holding out bowls to accept donations. Dead animals of all sorts have
been placed in the bowls, as well as tossad on the ground in front of the
idol. A strange odor fills the air, an incense of some type, but one with
a ragged, almost painful scent that makes the humid air even more
unbearable. Brief glipses of strange serpant-like creatures, as well as
men, or at least humanoids of some type, can be seen further ahead on the
path. Further to the north a large stone temple can be made out, but even
this cleared path has too much vegetation to make out many details.

On the Path to a Dark Temple
A taint of rot and decay hangs in the air, not the decay of the soft
humus of the jungle, but something deeper and more sinister. A trail
cleared through the thick trees leads north toward a dark stone temple
whose true dimensions are difficult to discern through the thick leaves
and branches. Several epiphytic orchids hang wilting from a large tree to
the west, adding thier faint violet hue to the humid gloom of the jungle.
Along the twisted vines to the east a number of human and elven skulls
have been line up, a single word has been carved into each skull so that
the lined up skulls form a sign of some sort. An ominous temple is to the
north and the path dissappears as it enters the thick jungle to the
south.

An Overgrown Jungle Path
This narrow path winds north and south through some thick bushes and

distance, but the jungle appears to be quiet and peaceful otherwise.
