An excavation site in the mountains. Features freestanding monuments of carved columns atop plinths of stone that are supported by giant carved elephants. The elephants stand on carved platforms. The platforms are about 15 ft from the ground; the elephant heads reach another 15 ft. Past the plain columns nearby there is a vast hall of intricately carved columns featuring carvings of strange beasts, mundane and fantastical alike.
Archaeologists Amy Nguyen and Arvin Danforth found evidence that jade was once important to the residents of the site. Amy is particularly on the lookout for a small amulet that grants the bearer supernatural strength. She reports a carving on one of the elephant plinths which reads "Braxis, my favored one, bears the amulet of steadfastness." Other mentioned artifacts include feathers with magical properties and small detailed carvings made out of fruit pits.

There was a giant acid-filled tick in the tunnels that was defeated by Gildas, Alexi, and Phytomyxea. In another room the party met 9 kobolds who enjoy eating roasted giant rats.
