The dense jungle canopy rose like a verdant wall from the beaches, broken only by the vine-choked ruins of ancient temples and causeways. The explorer led his crew ashore, hacking their way slowly inland through the stifling heat and swarming insects. Strange cries echoed amongst the trees - roars, screeches and bellows of beasts unknown. The men grew fearful, but the explorer drove them onward towards his goal.* *As the group moved deeper into the jungle, disaster struck. A band of Lizardmen - the cold-blooded Saurus warriors - ambushed them from the undergrowth. The explorers were outmatched and unprepared. Most were slaughtered by the Sauruses' engraved blades and spears in a matter of seconds. The explorer was clubbed unconscious and dragged away.* *When the explorer awoke, he found himself in a sprawling temple-city of the Lizardmen, a monument to their extinct empire. Mighty pyramids towered overhead, decorated with intricate symbol…
