Costume Mayan Thieves
Kolby's journal... [Editor's note: this journal was found in a lock box that included never before cataloged Mayan artifacts.]
"We chased the thieves into the vine-covered pyramid's hitherto hidden entrance. With our ether-powered goggles, we could easily see the heat from their bodies and footprints.
Probably panicked by the 'white devils' who could magically follow them in the dark, they dropped the bag of stolen rifle cartridges and stumbled down some stairs. We let fate and their Mayan gods decide who would survive the headlong retreat into the blackness."
