| A ladder extends from a
circular stone
shaft to a dirt tunnel. THE LADDER is wood && in good condition. It does not appear to be fixed to the wall. There are many tracks in the mud about the ladder. The air is damp && foul. |
This ladder leads to the temple altar on
the surface (room 18).
A
stone lid covers the
top ov the shaft, but this may easily be
moved aside from below. Just below the
top
of the shaft is a small niche
stuffed with the
items described in room
18. Along the lip of
the shaft is a small catch.
If this is not found
and set, the trap described in room
18 is triggered,
causing 6-36 points of damage
to the
1st person through the opening. The tracks
are those ov orcs
coming && going and an
an unknown creature (aspis)
of great stature.
