01-06. Jungle Ruins: Part 2
The second dungeon level down tested Keaunu's and Maria's strength and courage over and over again. While they rejoiced in all the amazing treasure troves they discovered, each new gain unleashed more terror. Three more mummies rose from their sarcophagi to fight with the adventurers!

Whatever god this ancient statue represented was serious about defending his bounty! Keaunu believed the rock god looked like a dwarf from that long-lost race. Personally, Maria thought it was just a run of the mill gnome.

Dwarf, gnome, or ancient alien, he meant business! His mummy henchmen were tough warriors.

Maria lost her second battle with one mummy who wasn't so kind to her. She fell into a deep sleep.

After each victory, the mummies returned to their own slumber.

Keaunu lost fights with two mummies. One was a thin, wiry fellow.

And the other was a hefty strongman!

Keaunu also collapsed in unconsciousness after each lost battle.

There was a second hallway leading off from the lowest level's rock god chamber. Maria had been wanting to investigate this last crypt room from the first moment she entered the ruins.

Now with the crypt's treasures pillaged, both Maria and Keaunu spent a few moments trying their luck with the magic well they found there. Never one prospered!

The well just wasn't going to give up its mysteries for them. They'd have to test the waters another day.

Maria did manage to catch a couple of fish from the well though.

She donated a tuna to the well's display stand nearby--in memory of the Romantic Mummy.

By then, Keaunu and Maria discovered that small excavation sites had materialized inside the tomb. They dug through the muck to find more treasure!

And excavation mounds had appeared outside the crypt as well. The two were really racking in the loot!

Exhausted, Maria and Keaunu took a moment to sit by the fire pit and roast marshmallows. They talked about their adventures and what they should do with the treasure they'd found.

They happened to see a few pieces of ore lying near the ruins and decided they should collect the stones before they left the area.

Content with all their prizes, they bicycled home.

Keaunu: We didn't get anything marked off on our Bucket Lists, but I think we made a good start on them.
Maria: It was a valuable experience ... and a lot of fun too!

That night, they arranged for another addition to their house. Keaunu needed a room to house his relics, and they would need space for their Bucket List projects too.

One more floor was added above the main area of the house with stairs leading up from the utility room.

Keaunu set out all their treasures. He had enough relics to put him half-way to his Lifetime Wish goal of §20,000!

They also added two decks to the new upstairs level. One in front ...

... and one in back. After a few more trips abroad, they would add more luxuries.

Footnote: Neither Keaunu or Maria got cursed by the mummies! So all's well that ends well.
