Pulling her gang of pseudo-captives along, Metea is first to bravely step into the expansive area, and there is much to take in. This circular space must be sixty feet in diameter. All is quiet, except for the movements of her followers and the odd light breeze of warm air against her neck. The stinging heat of coals has been left behind you too, which bodes well for the less fire-resistant of the group.
The circular and lowered section of floor is most unusual, now that it can be seen up close. Yes, it is basalt, but very different from the cracked pipe formations and roughness you've grown accustomed to. It is smooth as glass, perfectly level, and reflects your face should it be peered down upon. Along the circle’s edge runs something of a walkway. To your left two dark sections of wall give way to unexplored passage entrances or rooms. To the right, another two possible exits look across the cavern like a pair of unblinking eyes.
And then there is the door. Carved directly into the rockface on the wall directly opposite you, it is little more than a rectangular outline. The hexagonal shape you noticed upon entering the area catches your eyes. It too, is reflective even in this darkness. It is a foot across, at least. A huge, beautifully cut stone, mounted into the wall!
Below it there most certainly are carvings, hard to tell without further inspection, but it looks that four distinct markings are arranged in a row.
<Will update map and draw carvings tomorrow. Feel free to search / investigate / assign guards etc. Carvings will require a religion / arcana check or other effect for interpretation. Quality of rolls will effect accuracy. Also need to know what light sources are active (if any). Thanks! >
