The alleyway ends before a rotted wooden stairway. The stairway pitches down multiple flights to stained flagstones below. Sewage dribbles down the stone wall, filling the air with foul effluvia before pooling in the darkness below.
Priests and clerics entering the area are immediately overcome by an intense melancholy. Terrible acts took place here; the charnel house and surrounding areas are saturated with wickedness. Devotees of gods are innately aware that their magic is weak here; all attempts to turn unholy suffer a -1d penalty.
Descending the stairs, the PCs discover the corpse of a crow. Partially devoured, the body flaps weakly, as if trying to take
to the air. On closer inspection, the PCs realize the corpse is simply being dragged away by a small black rat.
