Alrighty then. The door is opened swing inward/downward into the darkness below. For a moment you are unsure of how to step off, moments of debating decide it is probably best to just sort of gingerly jump down. As Lari passes through the door he feels all the gravity twist and shift around him, and instead of continuing to fall forward he now lands on his rear on the hard stone floor beneath him.

As each of you pass through the door you ,experiencing the same gravitational shift as Lari, take in the room before you. It is a square 20ft x 20ft grey stone room. Four lit braziers stand at each corner of the room and in the center of the room is an altar and a stone table. The altar has a strange pinkish hue to it and seems to be pulsating. A figure lays on the table, a cultist you can tell from the robes they wear, a large sword stabbed through their chest and the table is covered in copious amounts of blood, both dried and fresh. There are strange symbols carved into the walls and on the ground. Several burnt corpses litter the floor. Two of the charred remains lay by the top left corner next the brazier, one by the bottom left braizer and one more lies next to the altar. There are three other doors in this room. Two are shut and the last one is opened partially, showing signs of being forced open and has nearly been torn off its hinges.

Ivellios:

Byg'wigg lands atop Lari's head, "Well. This be... creepy." Byg'wigg looks around, seeing the braziers and burned corpses, as well as the open door, "Byg'wigg be thinking this room mights be like furnace. Be trapping whatevers here and burnings it to crispy. Just hunches, but Byg'wigg not like it."

Lari pushes Byg'wigg off of him and rolls gracefully to his feet in an effort to save some dignity after falling on his rump and having a child sized lizard fell on him. He then looks around and moves to inspect the symbols.

Quintoc will Investigate the broken door to try and determine if it was broken by something coming in or trying to get out. And any other clues he may find.

"This room is not supposed be like this... it feels off. Little one do you feel off as well? What was this room?"

“Byg’wigg is fine. Byg’wigg not really tied to- Oh you be meaning Sandbaby. Byg’wigg see. Yes, how is you Sandbaby? Be telling Byg’wigg if you becoming demon baby.”

Quintoc examining the door you can tell from the damage that something was trying, and succeeded in breaking out of this room.

Sandbaby looks to Ivellios, then Byg'wygg.

"Don't like this. It's too loud here. Something's wrong. Feels like being pulled apart,b-but no ones pulling me. Almost feels like when me and the others would leave through the tunnel to get to the material world so we could make deliveries, but its rougher. Not welcomed." Being in this room is obviously very uncomfortable for Sandbaby, but not dangerous.

“Sandbaby, does you be needing to breathe?”

"No? Am made of sand? Does sand breath where you come from? I meant that the intruders,they've done something here. Ripped the veil open. It should not be open. Not here. "

Byg’wigg will lift Sandbaby, who does not need air, and will put him in his phany pack of holding. “Byg’wigg has solved issue. Sandbaby safe.” Byg’wigg is now a kangaroobold.

OOC: Fantastic. I didn't expect that. Byg'wygg always manages to surprise me and I love it.

The room is yours to explore everyone. Go wild. :) Or you could go through the broken door.

First thing, Ivellios will check the cultist body and the alter itself for anything that could help. "If something wanted in this room then we should check where it came from or should we check the other two doors?"

Lari examines the strange symbols craved on the walls and ground. Are they arcane, a cerrain language, something else entirely?

Ivellios: The cultist's body has a set of robes, a small dagger, and an empty sheath, by looking at the sword in their chest you can assume the weapon once belonged to them before it used to end its owners life. The altar is otherworldly and strange. You aren't quite sure what it is made of, but whatever it is appears to be living. Inscribe into it is the phrase, "A Trial of Fire and Blood,". Scattered on the altar is a set of divination tools. As you move around to examine the altar, your foot catches something on the ground, kicking out Ivellios watches as what appears to be a ram's skull is sent clattering away into the nearest wall.

Byw'wygg: The sword appears to be a simple steel sword of modern make that is currently jammed deep into the torso of a cultist. The symbol of a swirling vortex is inscribed into the handle.

Lari: Make an Arcana check to try to determine what the symbols were used for.

OOC: Just to clarify, I said something wanted to get out of this room. Not to get in it.

OOC: Does Byg’wigg recognize the symbol?

Arcana: 21.

Byg'wygg: The symbol is the same kind that the cultist wear on their robes. Make a religion check.

Lari: In your studies of the arcane you recognize that these symbols are actually glyphs that are used in the casting of very powerful teleportation spells. The faint aura lingers around them, suggesting that they were used recently.

"These glyphs were used to teleport something. From the looks of the room, whatever it was escaped. The magic is recent. It could be close."
