When Tas return with empty hands Tanis nods him and proceed to the north.
Only a dim light from above and the Staff of Magius scatters the darkness in the cavern, both shining faintly on the ruins of an ancient building as it just sideways from the cavern wall. Its roof lies half buried in the rubble of the cavern floor to the north, its steps now rising from the south.The delicately carved pillars that stood in front of the building now lie broken amid the rubble that slopes the way the party ventured from.
A dark doorway stands open as the door has long since rotted away in the heavy air filled with moisture and heat.
Tanis and Sturm look down the nearly thirty foot drop to the floor below.This vast hall lies on it's side: It's northern wall, beamed like the ceiling it once was, its southern wall a great tiled floor. Now the ceiling and floor of the room are windowed. Water pours into the room from the upper windows and out through the lower ones. Mosses and fungus cover the hall. The fungus on the floor appears to be moving.*
From the north end of the overhead windows, curtains made of some corroded, woven metal hang limply towards the floor below.
