Assuming you all go through the door...
You push open the heavy copper doors, and step through into a large square room. Rock rubble is scattered across the floor, and the walls are covered with carvings showing a lizard or dragon-like god stepping forth from the walls of a temple, taking the gifts offered to him, and disappearing back into the stone. The lower part of the far wall is also covered with writing in a script unknown to most of you, although Jason and Seraphina recognise it as Draconic.
A strong musky smell lingers in this room, similar to the stench of the zombies that unsettled Kerrick's stomach. The constant sound of rushing water that has echoed in your ears since entering the mines has faded to the faintest whisper.
Three passageways lead out of this chamber (discounting the doorway to the south from which you entered), heading to the north, east and west.

"I'm not sure if I can uphold that end of the bargain, but I swear that I will try." Aiden follows the group past the copper doors, "Although this place doesn't exactly seem more comforting than outside.." He says in a more hushed tone.

Seraphina creeps through the doors, staying close to the wall and trying to meld with the shadows.
"I agree with Gholog," She says quietly. "I don't have a very good feeling about this... not at all..."
She then notices the writing on the wall, and she dashes toward it.
"Hey, I recognize that!" She cries childishly. "It's draconic!"
She then suddenly remembers where she is, and looks around with a slightly frightened look in her eye.
"I don't like this one bit. Let's just go in, talk to the... voice, or whatever, and get out of here. This place gives me the creeps..."

Jason scans over the carvings on the far wall...
The writings speak of a winged god called Choth, and the services and gifts given to him by "His Chosen". For the most part it's a fairly dry list of items and animals sacrificed to Choth, but once you reach the end of the carvings, both the writing style and the form of the letters change.
This last part tells of the god having been forced to sleep by a group of humans, and His Chosen trying to reawaken him with successively more precious gifts, ending with the sacrifice of the chieftain's son. This seemingly had no effect, as the writings end at this point.

Kerrick chuckles at Ghologs remark, "well let's see if we can't find out what's goin on here. Be careful everyone." Kerrick starts heading further in trying to find who ever they were talking to.
