To Faysal and Makin:
'Hmm. Look at this. Maybe theres a secret door or this wall is covering over an entrance to a deeper chamber.'
"Hmmm, lets see..."
Perception
to Faysal:
Makin sees nothing but a wall, the plaster seems odd but it must have come from somewhere else.
'Must just be some covered over iconography. This is a shrine after all.'
'Let's explore the other route, it may contain more danger. We'd best clear this place quick so we can use it to launch attacks on Kelmarane.'
"Makin, wait!! Watch!!"
Faysal hops through the illusory wall..
"Interesting, the things you find in a chapel to the god of magic. I wonder if more exist here." Numair begins scanning the room using detect magic.
As Faysal disappears the wall becomes obvious to Haldo, Makin and Numair but Remos is unable to let go of what his mind believes to be a perfectly solid wall.
To Faysal:
A rank stench emanates from a strange heap of debris in the room’s northwest corner. Apparently made from broken bits of furniture and hundreds of torn papyrus pages, a narrow hole leads into the center of the pile. You get a strange sense of not being alone.
To Numair:
'Some pathfinder I am!' Makin exclaims before he steps through the illusory wall.
"Careful lad, something is not right here... Remos?"
"Where you go, little man? You gone!"
"Well, nothing else seems to be here. I suppose leap before you look ..." and Numair steps through the illusory wall.
Faysal sticks his head back through the illusion
"Remos? Over here!! Look,it's a fake!!"
Remos now is able to see the illusionary wall.
Remos carefully steps through the wall.
Three spacious tubs dominate this room, with large terracotta braziers placed between them. Narrow vents lead into the ceiling above each brazier, evidently the source of the sand and grit covering the floor. Warped and decrepit racks stand along the walls with most of the amphorae they once held now lying on the floor in shattered fragments. Sagging stone shelves hold dozens of small clay jars and bowls, many holding rotted or dusty remnants of ancient pastes or herbs.

You suddenly realize the pile is moving as a hunched-over wretch with long, pliable arms like tentacles capped with five wide spiny claws crawls out.
