The shaft plunges straight into the heart of the temple. The walls of the shaft are plated with sheets of silvery metal polished until they shine like mirrors.
The sheer walls of the chimney are nearly impossible to climb without aid (DC 25). Ropes can be anchored on the mirror posts or secured by anchoring spikes in the ziggurat walls.
The chimney descends 40 feet before opening into area 1-9. It is another 20 feet down to the platform in the center of the chamber.
The sheets are masterfully wrought so that any light is both reflected and focused. When the full light of the moon shines into the shaft the effect is blinding. PCs caught within the shaft must attempt DC 15 Reflex saves or be blinded for rounds. Regardless of the save, anything obstructing the shaft casts dramatic shadows into area 1-9.
