Miltiades holds his everburning torch so that all may see in the maze as the party methodically explores the caverns using the chalk marks to not get lost.
 


Now following the left, right, left law and after several seconds in the dark stinking tunnels you arrive to a inn's hall sized cave, the light from Miltiades's torch reveals a hideous place. This cave seems cut at strange angles, creating disturbing shadows and weird , seemingly impossible bends and curves. The stone is a cloudy purple color. Rising from the floor to ceiling is a tall, four sided column, natural but extensively carved so that each sided sports a different graven image. Before the column is an altar made of dull, porous, slightly corroded black rock, sitting atop a 1-foot high platform of a black stone speckled and streaked with violet. The room is cold – a soul-numbing chill that grips one's very heart, as well as one's sanity. It is a fact, rather than a mere judgment, that this is an evil place.

"Ye can feel the evil o' this place sure enough." Korbryn's voice is even lower than usual as he speaks, holding his greatsword ready as if he expects to be attacked at any time. "Quickly look the place o'er, and let us continue on."
 

Miltiades inspects the column and the altar, particularly the four graven images, checking to see if they match up with the symbols recovered previously or anything from his books on evil cults.
 

"What in the hells is that?!?" Ithiken says, looking at the four images. "Somebody spent time actually CARVING these things? Ugh. They need to find better hobbies."

The elf helps out on the search of the room to see if anything further of note can be found before they continue trudging on.
 

Korbryn pokes at the carvings with the tip of his heavy sword. "This place be grating on me nerves! I like it not."
 

"These are things that should not be. I wonder if positive energy would dispel some of the Evil here. Hmm, four faces, four elements. Korbryn, do you have a hammer?"
