Nick Yo: Behind the wooden railing is an opalescent

blue
altar, which is set before a tiered dais that supports
a well-carved and padded wooden chair. Two large
brass candelabra, each holding five white candles,
stand on either side of the dais. Two large white
pottery urns, each stoppered with brass, sit in each
corner. A human skeleton wearing badly rusted
and torn black chainmail lies dead in the southwestern
portion of the room, one outstretched
arm seeming to point into a mist-filled arch on the
southern end of the west chapel wall.

The Slot
search by Prolth - some kind of egress/portal
detect magic - reveals very powerful anti-magic spell

- Abjuration of overwhelming aura - on the stone wedge

and the slot is underneath the wedge.
we send a snake through - it doesn't see anything.
then send snake into portal arch - it disappears.

Probaby died immediately!
The archway has glowing orange mist.Beyond the mist is

a 10foot chamber (revealed by gem of seeing)
I teleport into a fly and go through slot - it opens

into a small 6" x 6" chamber. Shine sends his shadow

through the glowing orange archway but didn't come

back, and didn't die.
Shine says it needs something magical - I suggest we

take Slyvester's ring of prot +1 and put it through

the slot. The slot grinds down and opens out into a

landing and stairs down.
Shine's shadow died.
We start moving down the stairs, searching each 5'

square. It leads into a corridor that after about 40.

The door is not locked but seems a little stuck -

Maddock forces the door open, and topples into a 10'

deep pit. feet ends a wooden door, and the corridor

continues after for another 10' then ends in a door.We

take the first door off it's hinges and lay it across

the pit.We decide to just jump across. The next door is jammed.
