They search and both side arches lead to meditation rooms. There is an inscription in one calling this place the Dome of Eilish. One meditation chamber is right by a caved is passageway, the other continues, and there is a door and a buried entrance down the passage.
They open the door and the walls of this 20 by 30 room are lined with racks of bone scroll cases. Like those elsewhere, the floor is tiled, and the west end of the room is filled with sand. There is a broken statue in the room and a carved table that is upended.
Another pair of the huge tarantulas pop up from the far end, and are missed by missiles. At melee range that are attacked and killed.
Alzar moves to a bone case and moves it slightly without opening it – he doesn’t want to damage anything inside. It appears to be empty. He opens and checks – yes, empty. Using that method he checks and numerous cases are empty – nothing is in any he opens up.
He notices writing on a tablet in the statue, many of it no longer legible… it includes what appear to be instructions, and Alzar notes them with his Happy Helm.
They search and find a secret door in this room but it won’t open. It’s not locked, and there is no where to put any acid. They try and try again, but nope.
Alzar casts Knock and it opens towards them. They move in, apparently the mechanisms were on the other side.
