The Chamber of Ritual
  This dark chamber seems to be where many of the darker rituals to the
Goddess take place.  Here, an ebon-skinned male has just been sacrificed on
a large stone slab.  Blood runs off the altar and into a small pool at the
foot of it.  Two large braziers stand on either side and crackle with a soft
blue flame.  A large spider statue dominates the back wall.
