First Post
You rush forward, following the yellow triangles around the corner, and passing beneath a large, ornate archway decorated in smaller triangles. Before you is a great open area, at least eighty feet square...the walls here appear to be crafted of sandstone, and the entire floor is dark brown soil. The smell of fresh earth is much more potent here.
Some sort of phosphorescent lichen provides a soft light in this place, growing upon the walls and ceilings, archways and supports. Cressets and wall sconces also line the walls, but none of them are currently lit. Still, the lichen provides enough dim light to see by.
In the center of the room rises a pyramid of hard-packed earth. The sides rise some six feet, and the top is flat. Stone steps are set in the four faces of the pyramid, and atop it is some sort of stone column. Each of the column's four sides are inset with a triangle, and bronze manacles hang from each face. A bronze box sits near the column.
Three doors are set in the south wall; those to the left and right are normal, appearing to be of solid, iron-bound hardwood. The center pair are huge bronze valves. They appear to bear the same silvery, writhing runes that you noted at the entrance to the Temple Proper above.
Of course, the most obvious detail about the room is Otto's bloodied, broken form laying smashed against the western wall. Whatever did this to him is nowhere to be seen. Something small sparkles in the dirt just past his limp body...a gemstone, perhaps?
