| The thick stone columns here are deep
green, with blood-red striations. The paving blocks are mossy green, with a circular dais-like area about 20 feet in diameter in the center part of the wing. |
Continue only if PCs move in for closer
examination.
| The dais is 2-tiered; each rises about
18 inches, the inner being 14 feet in diameter, thus forming a 3 feet wide step along the rim of the lower tier. The lower disc is greenish black stone; the upper, blackish green. The center of this altar is a depression about 8 feet across, filled with scummed-over black liquid. Several pieces of smashed shells are scattered around the area, along with a broken bronze knife. |
The black liquid is merely dirty water,
6
feet deep. If the pool is dragged, a small and
delicate skeleton is discovered at the bottom,
the remains of the last sacrifice.
| This area was apparently a vestry. Bits of
broken altar service are present here also, with a broken trident and pieces of torn, scorched robes of a moss-green hue. Other rubble includes several smashed benches, a small broken table, and a thrown-down wardrobe with on1 side kicked in and the doors torn off. A flight of stairs descends to the southwest. |
Under the wardrobe lie three moss-green
robes, lined with black
satin. Each has a
cowl. All are soiled but otherwise in good
condition, but are obviously of little worth.
If the stairs are used, refer to Dungeon Level
One, southeast corner (area 109a).
