III. Temple of the Goddess
Keestake begins to gather up some wood to prepare a fire. "No. Orcs won't come back. Too scared. She'll make sure."
With the fire lit, the room becomes visible. (This room is windowless)
This chamber is very large, and two stories
in height. There is broken furniture all
over the tiled floors: it looks like the remains
of chairs, tables, and perhaps low
couches. Most of the wood looks aged, but
you can see that the breaks are all fresh.
Everything has been smashed recently.
On the east wall, in the middle, is a set
of double doors, closed. On the south wall
is the set of double doors by which you entered
the chamber. On the north wall, at
the east corner, is a very small and inconspicuous
door. All the doors in the chamber
are still hanging on their hinges.
The west wall is actually a flight of three
shallow steps leading up to a line of pillars.
Between the pillars, you can see that cloths
or tapestries, now ratty and sagging, have
been hung, blocking off your view of the
chamber beyond.
The walls of the hall of the goddess were
once plastered smooth and painted with
frescoes of the goddess in all her aspects.
Now the paint is curling, the plaster is broken
and peeling, and there are large cracks
in the plasterprobably from the foundation
of the temple settling over the years.
Additionally, someone has taken a club to
the walls here and there, evidenced by
deep gouges and tears in the plaster, and
places on the wall have been smeared with
filth.
