As the party gathers themselves, doing the last checks, a very faint *gurgling* sound almost like a small creek comes from behind the door- there's nothing they can do about it but throw the door open and enter. Ambrosia, the first in, comes to a rapid halt as a pit with sharp looking spikes at the bottom yawns in front of her right ahead of the door- she doesn't fall, but there's a relatively narrow pathway to either side into the remainder of the chamber. It's a rather low-ceilinged room, and.. oddly... almost entirely empty. The main feature of the room is a square pit at one end, with steps leading down to wooden waist-high barriers built between four stone pillars; inside, a moderately large pool of... something that nobody can clearly see from this angle. Though the steps all lead down, there's a stone platform jutting out over the pit almost to what can only be the main altar. On that pedestal, a redhead woman stands in brief pale pink garments, watching them with a look of cold contempt. She is, quite obviously, the focus of the room, as all benches point towards her and her platform and the large torches at the pits' four corners cast dancing light on her.<br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://i.imgur.com/GQ02uHb">Priestess</a><br/><br/>She doesn't react, or attack; the wizard simply folds her arms and sneers at the party, all but waving them on towards her. Ain, at Albali's side, worries in his own quiet way about the illusionist, of whom there's no sign in the temple; a few quick checks reveal neither that one nor any vengeful nagas outside.<br/><br/>"Sister..." Kaheksa moans, from the back of the pack as she catches a glimpse of the red priestess before them. "Not like this..."<br/><br/>[[FIGHT. All damage has been healed, and enough time has passed for nobody to be encumbered with meals; that leaves all status's save the buffs you've been hoarding clear. Reiterate which ones you put on in your first post.<br/><br/>Init:<br/>Eiyre, Ambrosia, Xarithe, Turilia, Albali, Ain<span style="font-style: italic">Currently Up</span><br/>Priestess<br/>Gorun, Kaheksa<br/><br/>Map:<a class="postlink" href="http://i.imgur.com/tRrTX4q.png">http://i.imgur.com/tRrTX4q.png</a>]]
