Lavinia joins in the search, however, straining to see in the dimly lit vault.Kalen passes near the pillars on the north wall, and looking carefully, notices something (Search Check). His sharp examination of the center pillar (the one Col identified as having different markings from the others) reveals a hidden switch. Carefully triggering it, Kalen steps back in surprise as the snake designs animate! They writhe aside like living creatures, forming a coiling archway that allows access into another room to the north.Stepping through, the group sees an octagonal room that is supported by a single large pillar with dozens of deep grooves along its sides. The seven walls of this room each bear fantastically detailed bas-relief carvings of exotic monsters in threatening poses. Starting at the wall immediately to the west of the entrance to the room and moving clockwise, the carvings depict a tentacled monster with a glaring red eye and a mouthful of teeth; a looming dragon; a fish-like creature with three eyes and four tentacles; a two-headed giant wielding a pair of immense clubs; a spherical creature with four eyestalks and a bulging central eye over a drooling maw; a gorilla-like beast with a fanged maw and six eyes; and finally a towering black spider with seven eyes. Each monster's eyes consist of a glittering red stone. The ceiling above is only ten feet high, with the now-familiar eight-pointed star pattern of the Seekers radiating out from the grooved pillar. The arms of this star are black, save for the one pointing south toward the entrance, which is red.</blockquote>
