142. BLACK CHAMBER

Note: Decrease chances of wandering monsters in this AREA, and in the corridor leading south to it, to 1 in 20 (per turn).
<alt: roll twice, and take the higher of the two rolls>
 
All of the stonework here is black, the
surfaces being polished to a smooth,
glossy texture. The domed ceiling 30 feet
overhead shows phosphorescent gleams,
each small dot obviously representing a star and
the combinations making miniature constellations. A broken obsidian
altar stone stands in the center of the
chamber; the place is otherwise empty.
An arched exit, about 7 feet wide and 12
feet tall, breaks the smooth curve to the
south. Upon the upper archway are
carved letters in Common:
EXHAULTED CHAMBER
OF HIGH AUGURY

Level 1.
