Dardanius will try to open the door.
Dardanius leans into the doors and they push inward after some effort. Beyond them is a large chamber running 100' deep by about 30' wide with a high vaulted ceiling.
There are five, tall, sandstone columns on either side of the room about 15' apart in either direction that rise all the way to the ceiling. The columns lead up to a three-level dais, atop of which sits what looks to be a man seated on an ornate throne.
In front of each column are finely carved stone statues depicting fierce looking warriors. Half-way up each column are metal sconces, but instead of torches they are filled with burning figures that cry out in pain and agony as the flames lick and roil over their bodies, the smoke rising into the ceiling and the vents above.
“Do you see the light towards the throne?”
The man on the throne is human looking or something else?
Detect evil.
weed looks around in awe.....
I don't see the light you mention, Drummer, but I trust your lead.
Dardanius readies his bow.
From almost 100' away and through smoke it is difficult to tell, but the form appears man shaped and sized. There is foul evil in the air as far as your 60' range can detect but nothing specific on the columns or statues. However, there is some type of evil involved in the burning forms in the sconces.
be at the ready……im sure those foerce warrior statues are anything but if our previous encounters are anything to go by
I am always ready.

Move forward into the room.
“Stay close to me.”
As the party begins to advance a thin wall of black light seems to spring up between the warriors at the first set of columns. A dry raspy voice fills the hall-Who has come to disturb the rest of the Dread Pharaoh? I sense you do not bring the stones required for my release and you are clearly not followers of Urgathoa. Make your answers clear and I will decide if you should continue to draw breath.
Move with Drummer, activate divine bond as well.
Are there steps up to the dais?
There are no steps. Each level of the dais is about 2' tall with the small third tier hosting the figure and throne being about 6' off of the floor. The first tier starts about 5' beyond the last pair of pillars.
Move towards the dais.
Follow along
Turran/Dardanius?
Dardanius continues to move with Drummer toward the dais.

Move up with Drummer and Dar
As the party approaches the thin black wall of light wavering slowly between the first set of columns, Turran detects some powerful necromantic energy.
The dry, raspy voice fills the air of the chamber once more-Your lack of an answer displays your insolence. For that you must be punished!
Inky black rays stab out from the wall of dark light stabbing towards the party.
