Journal entries
I have crossed paths all too ''frequently with a violent and loathsome breed of human found lurking in dark corners. It scours desperately through grit and detritus of the Jaguar God temple in search for anything shiny. I wonder if I am to end in such a vile state of depravity, alienated from reason, having made one deal too many with a cursed god.''

''I found today in one such beast's pocket a page torn from the journal of some poor soul, written in the cursive of a feminine hand. The thought that I might not be alone in this wretched hell gives me strength to carry on.''
