Features of the Area

     Illumination:  Darkness
     Tunnel:  The ghoul dug a tunnel that leads to a smaller room to the west. The tunnel is 2½ feet in diameter, large enough for a Medium creature to squeeze through. A Medium creature squeezing through this narrow space moves at half speed and grants combat advantage to all foes. Medium creatures have a –5 penalty on attack rolls until they return to open space. Each time a Medium creature squeezes, it provokes opportunity attacks from adjacent foes. Small creatures can move through the tunnel unhampered.

Features of the Area

     Illumination:  Bright light from the blue-green pillars.
     The Pit:  This pit is 50 feet deep and spills blood into the central well of the Shadow Rift. Four large chains connected to the floor run down the side, allowing PCs to climb down. Because the chains are slippery with blood, a character can traverse the full 50-foot distance in one move if he makes a successful DC 15 Athletics check. If the check fails, the PC plunges into the blood pool, takes 3d10 damage, and is prone. Descending PCs arrive in the middle of Area 19, in a shallow pool of blood.

Features of the Area

     Illumination:  Bright light.
     Blood:  The blood on the floor is slick. A character charging or running through the blood must make a DC 15 Acrobatics check or fall prone in the first square of blood entered.
     Magic Circle:  Active.
     Orcus Statues:  The statues of Orcus are blocking terrain and provide cover. A character can climb onto a statue with a DC 10 Athletics check.
     Platform:  The platform that runs the length of the western wall is 10 feet high.  Normal falling rules apply.
     Pillars:  The wide pillars are blocking terrain and provide cover. A creature can move around the corner of a pillar square normally.
     Pit:  This deep, dark pit against the eastern wall drops 30 feet into shallow water. Any creature falling into the pit takes 3d10 damage and is knocked prone.  Normal falling rules apply.
     The Shadow Rift:  The Shadow Rift is a black portal leading to diety knows where within the Shadowfell. The portal instantly slays any living creature that moves into it. The squares directly under the arch (where the darkness begins) are safe, but any square beyond that means instant death.

     Starting squares:  N10 to Q12

Skill Challenge: Closing the Portal Show
In this skill challenge, one or more adventurers attempt to reverse the partially completed ritual in order to close the Shadow Rift. This challenge takes place while the PCs battle Kalarel and his undead servants.
     To close the Shadow Rift, the PCs must unravel the ceremony and perform specific procedures to reverse the effects of the uncompleted ritual.
     Complexity: 3 (requires 8 successes before 3 failures).
     Primary Skills: Arcana, Heal, Religion.
     Arcana (DC 17; free action): Once per round on the character’s turn, he or she can recall knowledge of magical effects and rituals and determine the next step in reversing the effects of Kalarel’s ritual.
     This skill can be used to gain up to four successes in this challenge. A failed check also causes the energy of the ritual to attack the character who attempted the check: +8 vs. Will; 1d6 + 4 necrotic damage.
     Heal (DC 15; minor action): Once per round on his or her turn, the character can make a special Heal check. If the check succeeds, the character can spend 1 healing surge as a free action to channel positive life energy into Kalarel’s ritual in order to help disrupt it. Doing so counts as one success toward completing the skill challenge.
     This skill can be used to gain up to two successes in the challenge.
     Religion (DC 17; free action): Once per round on the character’s turn, he or she can speak prayers or religious incantations to weaken the power of Orcus in place to hold open the Shadow Rift.
     This skill can be used to gain up to four successes in this challenge. A failed check also causes the energy of the ritual to attack the character who attempted the check: +8 vs. Fortitude; 1d6 + 4 necrotic damage.
     Secondary Skill: Endurance.
     Endurance (DC 12; immediate interrupt, when an adjacent ally takes damage from a failed Arcana or Religion check made as part of this skill challenge): If the Endurance check succeeds, the character making the check takes the damage instead of the triggering ally.
     Successful use of this skill does not count as a success toward completion of the challenge.


Skill Challenge:
Successes:  5 (1 religion, 1 heal, 3 arcana)
Failures:  2

The Seven-Pillard Hall Show
1 The Road of Lanterns Show
The road from the Minotaur Gate opens into the Seven-Pillared Hall at this location.
2 The Customhouse Show
This building serves as the headquarters for the enforcers employed by the Mages of Saruun to keep order in the Seven-Pillared Hall.  Brugg, an ogre, leads the enforcers.
     The mages take turns standing watch with the enforcers, providing arcane might when called for and making sure that Brugg and his enforcers toe the line.
3 The Deepgem Company Show
Two large stone friezes in the shape of stern dwarf faces adorn the facade of this expertly carved series of chambers.  The Deepgem Company deals in gems and precious metals, as well as fine arms and armor.  The company buys gold, gemstones, and other valuables from Thunderspire's many prospectors.  Deepgem caravans depart every week for Silvershield Hold.
     Ulthand Deepgem, an old dwarf cleric of Moradin and former adventurer, runs the business.  He despises the duergar and avoids dealing with them except in extreme circumstances.  In addition to Ulthand, five other dwarves live in this outpost.  The company also employs a dozen miners, several mule drivers, and other laborers, most of whom live in the Pigeonholes.
4 Bersk the Wainwight Show
A handful of human merchants from Nentir Vale, as well as dwarves from Hammerfast, sometimes visit the Seven-Pillared Hall with their wagons, and that means there's a work for a wainwright here.  Bersk Hollon is a big, muscular, foul-mouthed man who builds and repairs wagons.  He also runs a small stable, renting out pack mules to the occasional customer who needs them.  He charges 5 sp per day per animal.
     Bersk employes three stable hands, who sleep in a bunk room.
5 Temple of Hidden Light Show
The small shrine dedicated to Erathis, goddess of law and civilization, has been established in the Hall.  Inhabitants of the Hall often stop by to drop a few coins in the coffers and say a prayer before setting out into the Labyrinth or beyond.  The priest Phaledra tends to the shrine.
6 Residences Show
These brick buildings house the merchants that are permanent residents of the Seven-Pillared Hall.  The merchants have made fortunes as intermediaries between the Mages of Saruun and the inhabitants of the Underdark, and these homes are finer than most of the living quarters in the Hall.
7 House Azaer Show
A merchant company headquartered in Fallcrest, House Azaer maintains a trading post in the Seven-Pillared Hall.  It deals in surface goods, such as wine, ale, leatherwork, and woodwork, trading with the sbterranean folk who come to the Seven-Pillared hall, including the Deepgem dwarves and the Grimmerzhul duergar.
     The trading post is a stout building made of stone blocks taken from the ruins of old minotaur walls.  It includes living space for five clerks, four guards, and Noristo Azaer, a young member of the house.  Noristo is a tiefling merchant with a sly, sardonic demeanor, and he seems to know something about everything that goes on in and around the Hall.
8 The Pigeonholes Show
People who take up residence in the Seven-Pillared Hall are welcome to pick out any side chamber not in use.  These cramped chambers are known as the Pigeonholes.  Most of the occupants are human, halfling, or dwarf laborers who are down on their luck and hoping to make some gold working in the Hall.
     In addition to the Pigeonholes shown on the map, dozens more are situated higher on the cavern walls and scattered throughout the nearby passegeways.
9 The Deep Stair Show
This passage leads to a stairway that descends about 100 feet before meeting a well-marked tunnel that leads to the Underdark.
10 The Halfmoon Inn Show
This large building sits against the side of the Hall and serves as a trading post, taproom, and inn.  The halflings of the Halfmoon family run the place, stocking a variety of foodstuffs and other goods obtained from Halfmoon posts in neighboring lands.  Unless the adventurers decide to stay in the Pigeonholes, the Halfmoon offers the only accommodations in the Hall.
     Erra Halfmoon runs the inn whose pleasant manner hides an iron backbone.  She has built the inn into a profitable enterprise for her family.
11 Waterfall Show
Water cascades from an opening in the southern rock wall.  The gap allows rain and glacier water to form a fresh-water pool and river that runs through the Seven-Pillared Hall.
12 Bridges Show
Two stone bridges span the cold water of the river that flows through the Hall.  The bridges are sturdy and 10 feet wide, broad enough to allow the passage of large carts.  The bridges have high rails to help prevent hishaps.
13 Chute Show
the river flows into a large hole in the northern wall.  The chute's ceiling immediately lowers to water level, and the dark waters disappear from sight.  The water, after a 10-minute circuit through airless corridors, spills into one of the cisterns beneath the Seven-Pillared Hall.
14 Minotaur Statue Show
On a stone platform in the eastern part of the Hall stands a 10-foot-wide, 30-foot-tall statue of a minotaur.  The bronze form has arms outstretched in a ritualistic pose.  On the floor surrounding the statue, a 20-foot-diameter circle is etched with gleaming runes.      The residents know that this is the Mages of Saruun teleportation circle that connects to their tower in the northeast corner of the Hall.  The mages closely guard the ritual that allows one to use the circle, though they have no prohibition against watching the ritual performed.
15 Gendar's Curios and Relics Show
An expatriate drow with an eyepatch and a predatory grin, the rogue Gendar trades in old treasures from the Labyrinth.  He is smug and greedy, having left behind the Lolth-worshiping ways of his people years ago when his family lost out in one o fht einterminable vendettas of drow society.
     Gendar recovers some of his wares himself, but he prefers to pay others to risk life and limb in the Labyrinth.  Sometimes he commissions adventurers to seek out specific treasures.  Gendar is a great source of information about the ruins, but he doesn't offer anything without a price; the more exclusive the information, the higher its cost.
16 Dreskin the Provisioner Show
A rotund little man with a wheedling manner, Dreskin makes a living by importing foodstuffs and other suppies from Fallcrest and the surrounding community.
17 Rothar's Taproom Show
A heap of reused rubble and crudely cut timbers has been haphazardly turned into an alehouse.  The place belongs to an ill-tempered half-orc named Rothar, who runs the establishment with a loud voice and a rude expression.  His patrons include tough creatures such as orcs, goblins, gnolls, and duergar, who congregate here when they come to trade in the Hall, as well as human and dwarf laborers with little disposable wealth.
     Brugg comes to the Taproom to relax and trade news with the more unpleasant residences of the hall and the Labyrinth.  When not making his rounds, on a mission for the mages, or in residence at the Customhouse, Brugg can usually be found here, drinking, conversing, or testing his strength against anyone foolish enough to accept his challenge.
18 The Road of Shadows Show
This passage is 10 fee wide and about 12 feet tall.
19 Grimmerzhul Trading Post Show
Enclosed by a rampart, the trading post of the Clan Grimmerzhul duergar appears as a fortress.  the duergar trade rare ores, gemstones, liquor, poison, and alchemical reagents from the Underdark for goods from the surface that they can take back to their homeland to sell.
     The head of the post is Kedhira, a duergar theurge.  She is curt and suspicious but unusually civil and honest for a dueargar.  Four duergar guards are always present at the post.
20 The Dragon Door Show
this stone door is carved in the shape of a dragon gripping an orb in its claws.  The passage beyond leads into the Labyrinth.
21 the Tower of Saruun Show
This stone bastion has several window slits on its upper floor, looking out over the Hall, but no visible doors.  this building serves as the headquarters of the Mages of Saruun.  The wizards come and go by means of a teleportation circle at the base of the large bronze minotaur statue.
22 The Shining Road Show
On the keystone of the dark archway above the path is a chiseled horizontal line with a vertical line beneath it.  (Religion check DC 15 to identify.)
People of the Hall Show
Brugg Show
Brugg, an ogre, leads the enforcers that work for the Mages of Saruun.  he can usually be found at the Customhouse, relaxing at Rothar's Taproom, causing trouble at the Halfmoon Inn, or patrolling the Hall.
Charrak Show
This kobold is a runt even by the diminutive standards of his kind.  Driven out of his tribe's tunnels because of his failed plot against the kobold king, he now begs for coins in the Seven-Pillared Hall and sometimes does menial labor for the Hall's merchants.
     Owing to his size and cringing manner, Charrak is often ignored.
Harwin Show
Harwin, a human merchant that sometimes hires adventurers to guard his caravans.
     Harwin spends his time at the Halfmoon Inn when he is in the Seven-Pillared Hall.
The Ordinator Arcanis Show
The Ordinaotr Arcanis wears deep black robes and a golden mask of an impassive, stylized human face.  This mysterious figure serves as the magistrate for the Seven-Pillared Hall.  As the representative of the Mages of Saruun, the Ordinaotr Arcanis judges guilt or innocence in grievances and acts as an arbitrator in disputes.
     When the Ordinaotr Arcanis walks the Hall, the inhabitants tremble.  It is not unusua for the Ordinator Arcanis to remain unseen for weeks or months at a time, only to appear suddenly to execute the law of the mages or to settle a dispute.  In most cases, the judgment of the Ordinator Arcanis is swift, harsh, and usually fatal—the mages have no desire to maintain jails or inflict minor penalties.
     Most residents of the Hall know that they can summon the Ordinator Arcanis by speaking his name while standing in front of the large minotaur statue.
Surina Show
Surina is a tough, bitter veteran of battles against gnolls and their domonic alies in the northern wastes.  As a dragonborn warlock and devout follower of Erathis, she believes that she must do everything she can to push back the encroaching tide of chaos.  She has recently come to the Seven-Pillared Hall in hopes of turning it into an armed camp from which se can lead strkes against the monsters of the Underdark.  So far, no one has joined her cause, and the Mages of Saruun have ignored her.
     Surina is a fanatic, eager to do whatever it takes to achieve her goals.  She constantly agitates to banish Gendar and the duergar from the Hall.  However, her hatred of disorder has blinded her to the slippery slop she has descended.  Surina is willing to use almost any means necessary to acheive her goal.
     The dragonborn warlock splits her time between the Temple of Hidden Light and the out-of-the-way pigeonhole she has claimed when she isn't preaching in the hall or exploring the Labyrinth.
Terrlen Darkseeker Show
Terrlen, a middle-aged man with a weathered face and a quiet disposition, is an explorer who leads caravans along the Vale Road.  He also makes occasional forays into the Labyrinth and is a skilled guide.  Terrlen is renowned for his competence (Dungeoneering +10), and though some of his expeditions have failed, the people of the Hall are quick to recommend his services.
Vadriar the Sage Show
Vadriar is a slender, short human with a shaved head.  He wears simple brown robes and carries a heavy backpack stuffed with books and scrolls. If the PCs neec information on the Labyrinth's history, everyone directs them to Vadriar.  He is usually found at the Halfmoon Inn, but frequently travels the Labyrinth alone in search of new lore.

     Windows:  Tese are 1 foot wide and 3 feet tall, and they have iron sutters on the inside.  It takes a move action to open or close a shutter.  A creature attacking from behind a closed shutter has superior cover.  The two windows in the display area are shuttered only at night.  The third window is shuttered at all times.

     Start area:  Anywhere outside the trading post to the north or west or the corridor beyond the southern-most door (treat the corridor as extending straight off the map).
