stairs climb 70 feet to area V4.

picts dwarves battling goblins.
En thraning Fresco. A detect magic spell reveals an
aura of enchantment magic on the fresco. Any creature
within 30 feet of the fresco that can see it must succeed
on a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by it
for 24 hours. While charmed in this way, the creature
can't willingly move out of sight of the fresco and de-
fends it to the death. If forcibly moved away from the
fresco. the creature tries to find its way back. The crea-
ture can't rest while under this effect. After 24 hours,
the creature gains one level of exhaustion and can re-
peat the saving throw if it can still see the fresco, ending
the effect on a success. A creature that succeeds on the
saving throw is immune to the effect of the fresco for 24
hours. Destroying at least one 10-foot-square section of
the fresco ends the effect for all creatures. Each 10-foot-
square section has AC 1 7, 25 hit points. a nd immunity to
poison and psychic damage.

Black Pudding. A little more than halfway down
the hall. a section of the western mural has broken off,
forming a heap of shattered tile on the floor. A crack in
the wall conceals a black pudding that gushes out and
attacks characters who inspect the damage.

secret doors and succeeds on a DC 17 Wisdom (Percep-
tion) check notices the outline of a secret door that leads
to area VS. The door opens automatically when a dwarf
