[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 6425512, member: 40413"] Down, down, down, the black stair spirals deep into the earth. Every twenty steps or so a small room opens off the stair but each is a nondescript cubicle that probably had some ritual significance that is now lost or unknown. You are beginning to think that the stair might descend directly to the hells when a high-pitched scream filled with pain echoes up the stair from below. From the sound of it, the bottom can't be far. After a few more steps Tsaaruk is at the bottom and his plodding downward movement puts him into the room before he can halt. The chamber Tsaaruk and the others soon after find themselves in is a smaller version of the sanctuary above. The room is long with high ceilings lost in flickering dimness that the light from torches in rusted iron holders on each of the pillars can hardly touch. The northern third of the room is elevated by five feet and can be reached by three stairs, one in the middle and one at each side. A plain black altar sits in the middle of the elevated section and the curved wall behind it is covered in relief carvings of humans ascending through torment and transformations to become something not quite human. The carved wall supports a balcony and upon it is a statue of a woman with wings stretching from her back and looking with cruel expression down upon the altar and the woman kneeling before it. The woman is the source of the scream. She kneels in front of the altar with arms outspread. Blood drips from her arms and she holds a ritual knife in one hand. She convulses and drops the knife as her shoulder blades malform and push through her skin to unfurl wide, black wings. Her scream transforms to laughter as she tests her new wings with a few tentative flaps.
