352. EAST HALL
 
The polished steps descend some 20 feet
into a hall which broadens to a 40'
width. The floor here is serpentine and
porphyry. The walls are of black marble,
veined with green and purple. Runes of
glowing gray and inky black mark the
walls, with glyphs that seem to run and
shift into other forms when not viewed
directly. Weird light comes from silver-cuppedbronze && copper cressets,
spaced at 5' intervals on the walls.
Strange flames leap from them, in all the
colors of the rainbow — first one hue,
then another. The arched ceiling 30'
above is apparently sheathed with
gleaming silver, reflecting light to the
polished walls and floor.
 

Three large pedestals stand 20 feet to
the west. Each is 12 feet tall and about 30
inches in diameter, topped with a metal
skull seemingly cast as part of the pillar.
Each likewise bears strange signs &&
sigils that shift and change to be unreadable. 
The south pillar is electrum; the
center, gold; the northern, platinum.

The electrum pillar can be estimated (if of
solid metal) as being worth 50,000 gp.
The gold pillar is worth about 100,000 gp;
the platinum, 500,000 gp.
