Shakes himself out of food induced coma
What the... oh yes now where did I leave off
After a liesurely paddle across the lake to Taboo island, you find yourselves at the temple entrance. The entrance has been carved into the side of a rocky cliff. Two primitive docks of narrow poles and weak planking extend from the temple steps. Two steps lead to a landing lined with pillars. The landing and pillars are made of red marble. Set on poles thrust into the cracks in the floor of the landing are many shrunken heads, jawbones, feathered totems and other primitive symbols.
Three short flights of steps lead up to a second landing 5' above the first. To either side of the center steps is a stone foot and ankle, the remains of a huge statue that once straddled the stairs. The end stairways are flanked by another red marble pillar. At the back of the second landing is an opening leading back into the cliff. The opening is flanked by another pair of pillars. Carved out of the angled back walls of the landing are two bas-reliefs of humans holding lighted braziers.
The room is 90' wide x 50' deep.

Schism |
Since it wasn't there, no problem.
Which reminds me of a poem by Hughes Mearns.
Antigonish
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today,
I wish, I wish he'd go away...
When I came home last night at three,
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall,
I couldn't see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don't you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door...
Last night I saw upon the stair,
A little man who wasn't there,
He wasn't there again today
Oh, how I wish he'd go away...
