| You descend from the vertical passage and enter an octagonal room approximately 100' in diameter. surrounding you are four stone altars, and each face of the perimeter wall features a heavy iron door. Starting from the northernmost door, each door features 3 successive letters of the Greek alphabet; door 1 features the letters alpha/beta/gamma, door 2 features the letters delta/epsilon/zeta, and so on through to door 8 which features the letters chi/psi/omega. |
Each of iron doors opens to reveal a 10'x10' ossuary guarded (inside) by three skeletons. Each skeleton has a sword and a shield which bears one of the letters from the iron door. On the far wall facing the entry is a small set of shelves lined with a mix of human skulls, used/dripping candles, sooty wooden incense bowls, chips of bone and clay, and small clay urns of various proportion (each of which holds some degree of ashen remains).
