Without being meta – I really hate this stuff ...

Is this a carpet in this chamber? Of course it's not, it's a killer, and something that you should definitely, definitely not get hot or exposed to fire in any way, shape, or form. As the party learn – you can be in combat against fungus. And to repeat, you should definitely not use fire.

When pictograms are magical … maybe the reader is read too?

As the party investigate the frieze further, they piece stories together from wisps of hearsay and childhood tales.

Where there's a wall, surely there's a door??

We're well into the temple now, and the pictograms show more and more detail. The tale of a mighty battle seems to be unfolding, but between whom? The story gets more interesting when the pictograms are animated by Ripper's touch. There are two definite sides, and the gods not only appear, but they appear to be taking an active part, while other unfamiliar figures seem to be deliberately obscured.

Time to use a combination of Ignis' knowledge, some trial and error, and Faeza's ingenuity ...
