The Ixaltan jungle has claimed many explorers, but you've never been one to shy away from danger. When a mysterious client offered triple your usual rate to retrieve an artifact from an unmarked temple deep in the verdant wilderness, you accepted without hesitation. Now, after days of hacking through dense foliage and narrowly avoiding predators, you've finally found it—a structure of weathered stone, half-consumed by vines and roots, with an entrance that seems to beckon you inward.
Your client was suspiciously vague about the artifact itself—only that you'd recognize it immediately and that it would be in the temple's innermost sanctum. As the jungle's humidity clings to your skin and distant animal calls echo around you, you check your gear one last time. A pistol with limited ammunition, climbing equipment, a utility knife, a flashlight, and your wits. It should be enough. It always has been before.
With a deep breath, you step toward the temple entrance, where strange glyphs depict figures engaged in rituals you can't quite comprehend. The stone door slides open at your touch, revealing a corridor illuminated by an unnatural, pulsing light. As you step inside, the door seals behind you with an ominous rumble, leaving you alone in a place untouched by human presence for centuries.
