This large room is round with a domed ceiling supported by stone arches. Damaged frescoes adorn the walls on all sides. A circle of stone columns surrounds a stone pediment, two broken stubs marking where a statue once stood.
The undercroft is the inner sanctum of the pillaged temple of the goddess Narafaltha. The frescoes, though damaged, depict the four seasons and the workings of the goddess and her people, including scenes of planting and harvest, religious ceremonies and sacrifices, and the burning of the withyman at year’s end. Each scene shows the goddess in a different aspect (birth, ripening, withering, death). The PCs will be familiar with the festivals, if not the goddess.
The statue of Narafaltha once stood here. If the PCs have uncovered the statue of the goddess in area 1-13, the goddess guides them to place it here. If restored to its broken pediment, the statue repairs itself instantly, and all the PCs receive a blessing for the duration of this adventure ( to
all attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws). The character who first touched the statue in area 1-13 also receives to AC until the next sunrise.
