AUG 15: Hexagonal Shrine

This area is in the shape of a hexagon (10 yards from one wall to another). The AUG 14 and AUG 7 areas all have corridors leading into it. The bugbears’ concealed trap-door and secret tunnel in the AUG 10 area also leads to this area, exiting out from a concealed (-2 to spot it from the outside) and unlocked heavy wooden trapdoor in the center of the room. The walls of the area are painted with reverent scenes of holy saints performing miracles.

An altar to a well-known god is set up here on a raised platform, decorated with the usual icons and prayer ribbons. The holy relic raises the local Good Sanctity of the area to High and lowers Sanctity for Evil to Low. Big but plain stone pews, in 3 rows of two, are arranged in front of the altar as if awaiting a sermon. At the foot of one pew, wrapped in cloth and tucked out of plain sight, there is a Pendant of Long Slumber (see DF Magic Items page 9) left on the floor.

There are corridors leading out of this area, both 2 yards wide. One corridor leading 10 yards south-east is behind a door (the door is kept closed by a Magelock-15 spell). A second corridor, this one with no door, goes 10 yards straight east.
