Note: A Short Note
I'm returning to the main camp. Don't linger past sunset. We were working by torchlight, past dark, when a horde of spiders poured out of the canyon's rocks. There are red templars on patrol, but if the overseer wants us to go faster, he should ask the wretched brutes to guard us while we work. We already have few enough Venatori after the disaster at Redcliffe. Something the red templars have taken pains to remind us about, I've noticed. Are all templars in the South this haughty?
Murena:
Whatever you do, leave the canyon before it grows dark. Unearthing these tombs is a delicate operation; we can't work with giant arachnids spitting at us. It's enough to make me wish we hadn't lost so many red templars at Therinfal Redoubt. Say what you will, they'd make short work of these monsters.
I'll go back to the main camp and request an escort of soldiers before we enter this place. Preferably during the daytime.
