| This 40' x 50' chamber was evidently
one in which new arrivals were hosted to the delights of the Temple; at least, this is what the wall murals depict. A few pieces of battered furniture —couches, chairs, and stands — remain along the walls. In the center of the room is a shallow pool, its fountain apparently stopped and the decorative statue, of a minotaur sitting on a throne, much dirtied. Several skeletons lie about the place, and some odd skulls and bones as well — mostly humans, but some humanoids also. None of the many cressets and walls sconces are lit; no torches remain. |
The minotaur is alive. It wears gray
leather armor,
and is dirtied to appear as if
stone, 90% undetectable as real unless
studied within 15 foot range—and it attacks
before such an approach. This monster particularly hates the bandits;
after it killed
(and ate) one, they harrassed it, shot it with
bolts, and have tried to starve it (despite the
fact that it is here, guarding against
intruders, on instructions from Temple officials). It therefore charges
whenever it sees
black-clad intruders, even if it has little
hope of prevailing. It otherwise attacks anyone approaching within
20 feet.
