Soot's Journal, Session 2

Today was the first day of a new adventure! I met up with my friends who were already ahead in the temple, and they helped me clean off those needles that came out of nowhere. I'm thankful that they all seemed okay, I would have felt terrible if someone was hurt because of my absence.
 
I pushed forward for the others as we moved along, luckily there were no further traps, but we did meet a strange spirit! I didn't quite understand what was going on, as it was hostile at first (and incredibly resistant to the shells from the repeater cannon, I will have to research if anything can be done to increase their effectiveness in the future against spirits, it just doesn't feel right for a round of such calibre to be so ineffective!), but thankfully the others were able to talk it down! I'm grateful to be surrounded by such smart friends!
 
Once the spirit let us past, we faced the guardian of this temple, a giant emerald serpent. I wasn't expecting to fight such dangerous foes so quickly, but I suppose such targets are the true test of a Skyshatterer's equipment. Like I was taught, there is never truly such thing as an "excessive use of firepower" when lives are on the line!
