3. Hall of Flames

Great vaulted hall, 40’ high. Two rows of black marble columns, their surfaces reflecting dancing crimson firelight with no discernible source. 3 tortured prisoners are chained to the columns, unconscious and clad in rags. Marble floors are bloodstained.

• Rousing the prisoners: They moan and babble, describing in fragments the false accusations and tortures they’ve endured (see Denizens).
• Freeing the prisoners: Sergeant Grimlocke (Area 7) has the key to their chains.
• Doors to Area 7: Tall iron doors, each engraved with rows of marching knights.
