This chamber is beset with a myriad of treasure chests and grave goods that the late king was buried with, many of these have already been looted but a wealth of treasure yet remains
Treasure: 4,000 copper pieces; three fine rugs worth 5 gold pieces each (7 lbs per rug); and a set of full plate
This chamber may have once contained great treasure but has been picked clean over the centuries.
This large chamber was once used to offer up sacrifices and libations to the deified king and his cosmic court. The cracked altar, which is pointed towards the king’s tomb, still smells of the sweet wines that once flowed over its surface.
Monster: Two fiendish dire rats have made their nest behind the altar.
This false crypt has a line of closed sarcophagi along the southern wall and a classic pit trap (CR 1; mechanical; location trigger; manual reset; hidden switch bypass (Search DC 25); DC 15 Reflex save avoids; 20 ft. deep (2d6, fall); multiple targets (first target in each of two adjacent 5-ft. squares); Search DC 20; Disable Device DC 23) that is triggered when a PC tries to cross over it to access the sarcophagi it lies in front of.
In the center of this chamber stands an 11 foot tall statue of a man wearing a simple band crown on his head, a simple Elitarian style shield on his left arm and holding a long spear in his right hand. The inscription of the plinth reads “Cyaxares I, King of Heaven” in Ancient Elitarian (Decipher Script DC 20).
Monster: A lantern archon has been summoned and bound to this room to protect the tomb from further intrusion.
The stone chamber once served as the mortuary chapel from which the people could offer up their prayers to the deified king. Most of the furnishings in the room were burned out recently and the smell of burning oil can still be scented on the air.
Door: This iron (Break DC 28; 60 hp, 10 Hardness) door is locked (Open Lock DC 25) and trapped with a fire trap (CR 3; spell; spell trigger; no reset; spell effect (fire trap, 3rd-level druid, 1d4+3 fire, DC 13 Reflex save half damage); Search DC 27; Disable Device DC 27).
This small stone chamber has been converted by previous adventurers into a small outpost with an artificial fire pit built up in the center and a large iron bar with which to bar the door. On the back wall, there still remains several shelves stacked with jars of natron and preserved organs.
This room was once used by the priests of the temple above to ritually purify themselves before entering further into the crypts to attend to the care of the spirits of the royal family. It features a fountain of holy water at the back end of the chamber and a pit for the ritual burning of incense surrounded by several benches in the fore part of the chamber.

The start of a new month already! Damn, January really flew by! Anyways, I have a few interesting projects I’m working on including my first campaign with the currently in development Bloodfall TTRPG! I’m looking forward to having something written about that sometime this weekend. I will also be taking the month of January’s dungeon floor and cleaning it up, converting it into a more OSR friendly format and putting it up on the usual sites ASAP (this whole megadungeon project will be eventually converted for Bloodfall as well, so if you’re one of my players no peeking!). Anyways, here’s February’s first dungeon room.
This room is the main entrance to the crypts from the temple above from the stairs in Area A12. The priests of the Temple once knew the sacred passcodes one would have needed to travel through this area unmolested by the guarding undead but those words have been lost to time. The pool in the center of the chamber contains holy water blessed by the priests as an emergency measure in the case of a break in the magics that bound the skeletal guardians to their place.
Monster: Three human warrior skeletons wait here to intercept any intruding treasure hunters before they delve further into the tomb.
