    - Hm... - the Lunar went quiet for a moment - Mayba I am jumping to conclusions, but don't you think it might be an altar for bloody offerings? Shall we spil our blood and see? - he said. It was possible that he had heard too many things about jungles and temples in them...

    "You might want to wait a bit with that," Mantis said, "there are Yozi rituals that also demand blood. Maybe first investigate a bit more that we know what we're doing before we're going to do it."

    - Alright... - said Lunar, deciding to not spill his own blood - Are we moving past the column or trying to get an idea what it is and what shall we do with it? If it's the second option, then I am not gonna be of much use...

    "Me neither," Mantis said, "let's move on I think. We can Always come back if needed."
    While she wasn't all the good in combat, except for some archery, with the Lunars present she felt safe enough to move along.

    "I'll have a brief look, but I think we should get used to many things on this island being weird or unexplained."

    Pale Ocean circles the stone pillar, assessing it and flicking through his crystal shard to try and find a picture that looks similar as his barbarian bodyguards scan the surrounding jungle for threats.

    "It's possible the bowl is for Essence, not for blood. But we don't yet know what it would activate."

    Spending 1m to power the Crystal of Kuan for the scene, so it glows with text. Basically using it as a 1dot stunt for Lore roll if that is OK. If not ignore rightmost dice

    Occult roll to see what this sort of item could be used for, in rituals or on it's own.
    (7d10)[6][10][4][2][2][7][4](35)

    So 3 successes here for Occult roll, and will put Lore in separate post as failed to type

    Lore roll for stories about similar objects, as I failed at typing in earlier post.

    "I don't recognise the sigils but I've seen similar things before...."

    Pale Ocean trails off as he stops scrolling through the crystal on a page with a not too dissimilar diagram.

    "Yes! I knew I'd heard the story before! The Chosen of the Sun would often create elaborate Locks for their tombs in the form of pillars, with the key concealed elsewhere or entrusted to someone that would seek out their next Incarnation. I don't know whether blood, essence or some sort of Orb goes in here, but the markings and form seem too similar for it to be a coincidence. I wonder....."

    Pale Ocean reaches out to the top of the pillar, intent on seeing if he can channel the power of the Sun into it

    Gonna try and channel several motes into it. Of course, the more cautious may want to stop him....

    If no-one does, we'll see what happens

    - Wait - there was a note of caution in Lunar's voice, but also of excitement - I will need to transform into Beastman before. Just to be sure. There are bound to be traps inside, aren't they? - he asked.

    Then, he transformed. He had grown, white fur with black stripes appeared over his body, his hands grew paws. In few seconds he was there, big, strong and menacing, looking at all the others from above.

    - I am ready - said The White Paw, now in much deeper and louder voice.

    Mantis wasn't sure this was a good idea, but she didn't have any better idea and essence was probably better than blood. She did agree with White Paw to transform and while he did that, she took her bow and prepared as well, including keeping an eye out around them, just in case something would come from an unexpected direction.

    Pale Ocean is indeed able to channel his essence into the pillar. As he begins pouring his energies into the stone, it hums, a low, barely audible bass tone. As he pours more power in, the stone’s humming grows.

    Moments later, a shaft of light, barely wider than a finger, begins to extend from the center of the depression, where, it can now be seen, a hole exists in the stone. The light begins to bend, first this way then that, as though feeling around for something. When it doesn’t seem to find what it is looking for, it retreats back into the stone and the humming ceases.

    - Alright, I think it's interesting and it probably leads to a First Age tomb, but currently we cannot think of a way to open this - Lunar tried to be reasonable - Maybe we should explore this island some more? It surely contains more mysteries, and maybe when unraveling them, we will find a way to move forward as to this pillar?

    "Sounds like a good idea," Mantis agreed, "not to mention we have to also look for some food."

    - Oh, are you hungry? - the White Paw asked - You should have said something sooner. What would you like to eat? Fruits? Meat? It can be troublesome fishing without a rod, so I am afraid I cannot offer you fisheries. Let's find something to eat. shall we?

    "Sure, lead on," Mantis said, the last at White Paw, who was probably best suited for this kind of stuff. She followed him further onto the Island, but keeping an eye out for strange things.

    The jungle provides ample evidence of smaller game, and there are likely edible plants around. But with food slightly lower on your current list of priorities, you continue to search the jungle. Following a path deeper into the wild, the light from the upper canopy begins to darken, though whether it is because of the sun beginning to set, or the jungle growing that much denser, you cannot tell.

    As you continue to progress, the foliage begins to thin slightly, and you begin to hear the sound of running water. The trees suddenly break above, and you find yourself in bright midday sunlight as you come across a river at least a hundred feet wide. The current, from what you can tell is swift, and the water is murky enough that you can’t see the bottom after a few feet. But on the other side of the river, you see a sign that there was definitely a settlement here at some point. Just a few feet from the bank is a steel column. Not very large, but from its size and location in the river you assume it was a support for a dock of some kind.

    - Do we have a rope? I could tie one end to some tree and take the second end through. Then you could just hold onto it. - said The White Paw. As to him passing the river, he had the Stone of Aquatic Power with him, he could just go through the river bottom.

    - Hm, actually... - The White Paw seemed to be a little embarhassed - I have no other animal shapes. I kind of... focused on other skills in my training? But to be honest, I doubt I am that good martial artist either. I'' capable of defending myself, at least to some extend, but when it comes to spirit shapes, I can only be a tiger, weretiger or human. Hm... sorry? - he finished somehow awkward.
