The group makes its way across the treacherous floor to the back alcove. The small space is quite crowded. Reclining on piles of animal pelts are five women. Each is frozen in a separate block of ice. They are approximately four and a half feet tall, with long black hair tied back in thin braids. They wear loincloths and flint knives, along with many bangles and necklaces. The jewelry appears to be mostly primitive - teeth strung together on rawhide cord - but here and there the party catches glimpses of sparkling green and red beneath the glittering ice. Everything of interest in the room is encased in the blocks of ice.
"Yes, let's keep moving," as he slips a little on the ice setting the light he carries to casting wildly moving shadows he adds, "slowly and carefully."
Able to go no farther in this direction, the party makes its way back to the intersection south of the pyramid room. From here, they may go East or West, or back to the frozen warrior room to the south.
