====== 2022.05.15 Sacrifice ======
++++ A Few Days Later |
We are heading down the river, and pass a small village where there are several dead bodies on the bank (it is around midmorning).  The living villagers are milling around.

We are about a day and a half away from our destination.
++++

++++ Bad Water |
We approach the village in TheAmazonia.  Chief tells us they are dying of a a bowel disease (cholora).  We tell them to boil water, and other hygiene tips.  We give them medicine.

We are friends of the people.
++++

++++ Trading Stop |
A day later we stop in another village and trade to replace some of our supplies.

We are invited to a dinner.  We pump them for info. They want our tommy gun to kill a crocodile.  We offer to maybe do it ourselves.  The chief still wants the gun.  We offer a different rifle.

We convince them, and they give us directions.
"Beware, for the ruins bleed again!"
++++

++++ A Long Hike |
We pack up and head up the creek to towards the ruins.
Long tiring hike, but at least we make a good camp.
++++

++++ Piranhas |
We come to a wide stream filled with Piranha.
Maybe a grappling hook?  Maybe a raft?  Raft.  Takes the rest of the day.
++++

++++ Crocodile Pond |
We come to a pool/pond in the river.  We notice crocodile slides and something shiny on other side.

We get to the shiny--it's 9 mm shell casings.  European?  There is a dead croc nearby that was shot.  I check it's stomach but nothing human.

++++ A different approach |
I go scouting.  Climb a tree.  Cliff on other side of the river.

I go to an area where there might be a ford.
There is a bridge.  It leads to a cave opening in the cliffs.
Native shaman on top of the bridge.  Had a gem and staff.  He is ritually sacrifice a tied up German.
Armed with primitive weapons, crocodile skin armor.  Crocodile tooth spears.

I hide until they leave.  About an hour later, they kick the German into the water, and the crocodiles eat him.  The gem glows and I feel strange.  The shaman turns and points at me.  He magics the trees against me.

I try to run, but I don't get far.
++++

++++ Sacrifice |
The others grow concerned and go looking for me.  They find me, about to be sacrificed to the Crocodile God.
