Sorry, I keep leaving it out!]While Lyllie presents her findings, Thulwar uncovers the secret of the door. It should leave most explorers stuck outside, since the contraption is far from common. The gates employ an internal pressure system, hidden behind two small sliding plates. Since they're integrated to the high relieves, it would take the combined efforts of thieving and machine-tinkering to open it. Thulwar studies the triggers for a while, and eventually he uncovers the means to open the massive doors. The gates slide inside the stone walls, leaving the way open for the heroes to go through.On the other side, what seems to be a great, long hall stretches ahead. Inside, a thick fog, not unlike the one found in the valley above, hides the contents that the new area might be hiding. Waves of heat come from inside, coloring the walls with moist and oddly-drawn forms of mold and fungi.  Embla turns over her shoulder, looking towards Aanzu with a mocking, delighted air. "Maybe this is part of your mystery, Your Highness" - she turns again and steps inside the room, graciously.[According to Yttrian's maps, this should be a ritual room, dedicated to cults and sacrifices in the old days of the Teraphim. Marked on the papers the elf brought along are several thermal pools, build to allow the cleansing of the faithful as they appeared before the Teraphim. Strange signs suggest ventilation chasms above, as well as a heating source below.]As above, the fog allows almost no visibility. It begins a few steps beyond the doors, and it surrounds the room from the floor to the roof, some fifty feet above, maybe more. The floor was once carefully covered in decorative plaques, but many were set loose, whatever kept them in place rotted away by the persistent vapors. On the sides, stone shelves can be seen, preserving entire sets of clothes, eaten away by the strange conditions of the environment. The air feels heavy, and the hissing sound of gases escaping through thin openings is constant. Beneath it, the rumoring of waters can be heard, coming from within the copious steaming clouds. @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=24380" target="_blank">Neurotic</a> @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=23298" target="_blank">industrygothica</a> @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=6776182" target="_blank">JustinCase</a> @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=6855102" target="_blank">Greenmtn</a> @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=8858" target="_blank">hafrogman</a> @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=4936" target="_blank">Shayuri</a></blockquote>
