[QUOTE="horticulture, post: 5558321, member: 6671055"] The group steps from the fading sunshine into the surprisingly cold darkness of the temple interior, gloomy and shrouded in shadow. The temple’s floor is smooth, polished stone. The ceiling has collapsed in some areas and littered the ground with fallen debris, and in one section, the floor has collapsed, leaving an open pit. The interior walls feature fading murals depicting scenes of butchery, cannibalism, and other profane acts. The temple is divided into two sections by a row of tall, ornate bookshelves filled with crumbling scrolls and tomes. In addition, you notice a number of egresses beyond the main door, and two sets of smaller doors along the eastern and western walls. [sblock=Perception 10]The murals depict scenes of the Abyss. In addition to the demons in the murals, various types of undead are prominently depicted. Upon studying the mural closely, however, hints of an older, even more faded mural beneath the existing one can be seen. This older mural depicts scenes of busy forges; robed stern-faced clerics preaching to a rapt audience of muscled, coal-stained workers; more robed clerics before a large, roaring fire; and in the center of it all, a stout, bearded dwarf wearing a leather apron and holding a smithy hammer.[sblock=Religion 10]These images are obvious iconography of the church of Onatar, god of industry, crafts, and fire. The bearded dwarf is representation of the god. There is something else interesting about the Onatar mural...[sblock=Religion 15]The more you study the iconography of the older mural, the more you feel that the painting, and perhaps Onatar himself, is trying to tell you something. And then it hits you, not only is this a painting of the church of Onatar, it is also a map showing the location of a hidden cache in this very temple. In fact, the location is at the north end of the temple, near a large statue.[/sblock][/sblock][/sblock] [gm]If your passive perception is higher than the listed DC, feel free to read the sblock.
