Dungeon23, March Day 7
A small chamber holds a dangerous secret that may change the world!
Area 16
The door to this chamber is closed but unlocked.
The room is brightly illuminated by a single everburning torch ensconced on the southern wall.
This room is used as a resting area for those cultists newly initiated into the cult via the ritual described in area 14. A heavy bed is placed under the everburning torch, many thick pads of bedrolls, furs, pillows, and blankets used to make it as comfortable as possible.
Next to the bed is a brass pitcher filled with water and three brass cups.
Development: In the highly unlikely event that the PCs arrive into this chamber within 24 hours of the young prince's abduction, they will find the prince (use the noble NPC stats) in this room, lying on the bed and suffering from 4 ranks of exhaustion. He is being attended by a cultist, who kneels at his side, serving him food and water. Meanwhile, a kirk stands at the door to protect the prince from intruders.
Unbeknownst to the PCs, the prince has been initiated into the evil cult. This was done willingly, as the prince is secretly a devil worshiper! His initiation was conducted recently (as detailed in area 14), and he has been placed here to recover under the ministrations of the cultist. Once the prince has recovered (after 4 days), he is to be taken to area 19 for a new ritual of empowerment.
